*Stretching

Not sure if it's on TV but I get a Macdonalds ad during word games online which drives me mad. Starts with rear view of a young women streching, then she eats a huge Macdonalds meal in bed, presumably ordered with a delivery app. Yuk! Too lazy to make her own breakfast!

Another vote for Jane Plan and the new irritating ding - seven dings in all .
Someone gave me the soups .
They were vile .

And the endless funeral plans ...

The Scottish donkey standing behind the woman and advertising mouthwash.

The one with the creepy old man being introduced to his partner’s family, eating Maltesers all the while. Yuk! And it’s meant to encourage you to buy them.

The KFC I think it is, where different people are eating, and one awful woman is biting into her beef burger or whatever, her eyes look enormous as she greedily starts eating.

I have to look away for most of them until they are finished.

Also that Irish woman on the toilet - that’s baaad.

We’ve got one with a woman doing a fake cough advertising cough lozenges. I think it is Strepsils. I want to throw my shoe at the tv every time I hear it.

One of the worst is the back to school advert with the rapping schoolchildren. It is really horrible.

The one for the hotels in PITLOCHRY when the voice over says that "Pitlockry" is in "Scatland"

That woman sitting on the toilet.

I could have written this myself!!
Add on the stupid man shouting ‘Sausage’ for his dog, which apparently is safe at home too.

They are driving me up the wall.!

Do any adverts on TV annoy or irritate you? I dislike a few, but the 2 that I really can't stand are the one for McDonald's, with all those people in a traffic jam raising their eyebrows, an the one with the woman who looks at the mobile 'phone, and keeps saying "Awww"
