What advert makes you want to throw something at the telly?

The Jet2 holiday advert with the cheesy music and actors sets my teeth on edge.

The Santander advert with Ant and Dec , I cannot stand those two. Plus any advert that has strange dancing in it looks even odder with the sound off or any pad products for incontinence or periods

All of them!

‘On the beach’ awful thing

The domino ad where they all yodel. Id love to yodel back but unfortunately dont have the stamina

I think sanitary product ads are too graphic now. Women know what a bleed looks like. Daisy daisy is awful. I'm sure if I were a young woman it would turn me off the product.

The latest Boots advert ( I think there are now 2 doing the rounds) …the woman’s narrative overly posh ‘BBC voice’ for some reason on this, drives me nuts. I also agree ‘on the Beach’ the tune, the people, everything 😳 and the ‘smile direct club’ adverts…

Can't help it, I love adverts. To me they are like mini films. When I go to cinema I always get there in time for the adverts.

And the feminine incontinence pads one, where the woman dies yoga and tells her friend that she’s letting it all out, now she has her proper pads 😳 yes, I’m sure all women talk graphically like this about leakage…

So many!
It seems no one has a filter anymore and anything goes. I particularly object to incontinance being portrayed as a female issue. Where are the men who have issues? No little chats with their mates whilst at the gym is there? Some of the sanitary wear adverts are a bit graphic too. Love honey OMG. I am all for normalisation but have my limits. I fear for our childrens children where modesty seems to be a thing of the past.

The main ones I can't abide are the funeral adverts sometimes you get one follow another, we all know we're not here forever so we don't need to be reminded of it day in day out. Also the wren kitchen where couples are all smiley and dancing round the kitchen ,just awful. Go compare ad is just as annoying to.

The dating app advert where he contorts his face to look like the Picasso painting that they are gazing at in the art gallery. I always wonder if the woman on the date really thinks it is funny, or is just laughing to be polite?!

Definitely the Omaze advert grates on me every time.
Hurtegretan Expeditions makes me repeat it in a Danish accent!

I hate the adverts for sanitary towels where you see someone sitting on the toilet and you see red liquid being poured onto a pad. Totally unnecessary. There is a new advert where everyone is dressed in period costume and a woman at the table is talking about the “bloody mess down there”. It’s an ad for tampons. The same with ads for Tena Lady, etc. I’m not interested if a little bit of wee comes out, thank you. Everyone who has periods, which is half the population, knows all about sanitary towels and tampons and where to get them and they do not need to be advertised, especially at all hours of the day when children are watching. I hate the latest love honey advert too about the rose, especially the woman with long, wavy red hair, who pulls horrendous faces. It’s cringeworthy.

Nationwide ! Dreadful advert if you can call it that.

I too generally record lots of programmes I’m interested in and buzz through the adverts.
Also the sound seems louder during any advert break or is that maybe my imagination.

Definitely daisy daisy daisy. And “my lot know how to party” lol. Do they ……really!

Lindt chocolate balls - No-body ever eats a chocolate like that, like they are massaging it with their lips, kissing it, wrapping their lips around it, EAT it like a normal person and throw the whole thing in your mouth! drives me mad, I will not even buy the things because the advert drives me crazy! even when they update the ads, every model eats it in the same way, shove it in like the rest of us normal people!

Strangely enough good adverts, as far as advertising goes, are the ones that you remember and recall the product/name even if you loath them!
I hate the one about recirculating toilet smells. Simply put the lid down, that's what it's for.

I came on to post that I’ve just seen a man advertising his new Tena incontinence pants!

Horrible flowery perfume one, anything knicker related, Go compare-really had enough of that bloke, anything with Antndec, Dylan, Lineker, etc. The Saga miserable holiday one makes me laugh tho.

Those bloody meerkats! They're well past their sell-by date.

I call it 'Hooty Grooty' ! I like Joanna Lumley but even she can't stop the irritation of this ad.

Rude!

The toothpaste one for me. DH and me often have our evening meal on a tray, and to watch a woman spitting bloodstained toothpaste into the sink puts me right off. 🤢 It came on so often around meal times, so I wrote to the complaints department. It stopped for a while, and I haven’t seen it shown as often!
If you don’t like it, complain!
