Go compare. It has been going for quite a few years. Doesn’t get any better.

They all irritate me to some degree! The cremation ad, the gold coins, the donkey mistreatments. I reach for the remote and press ‘mute’ then go and do anything for 5 minutes.

The one where everyone throws their phone in the air.
No idea what it’s advertising.
On the other hand, the most effective advert I’ve seen is for Bosch vacs. Only the price puts me off buying one!

They all do, which is why I record most programmes and fast forward the ads!

Yes, certainly agree with the Daisy Daisy Daisy advert. Just what exactly is the point of it?

Daisy sets my teeth on edge.

Bristol Street Motors with the man falling down through space on to the sofa really irritates me too.

So many, Wren kitchens, daisy, daisy, bloody daisy,the veri sure alarm and the pure cremation, one where the guy says “ and my lot know how to party”😂😂😂

There are so many. I particularly cringe at the one for Our Time dating for over 50s. I just want to punch the two simpering actors! Grrrrrr
Also, car adverts like Peugeot who think they’ll sell cars by speaking in a silly French accent.
I must be getting old!
