Worst, cringe making, irritating,adverts

[FindernRam]

What are the ads that really get to you in a bad way?

Some starters:

Gala Bingo during The Chase: Un-funny the first time dull after the 100th.

EMR: ditto

Make up ads quoting some wonder chemical: What is Hyloranic acid or peptide?

Holiday ad showing empty beaches or pools

[AndyinLiverpool]

Anything that includes an easily recognisable voice saying 'we' or 'our...'

[Anon]

I don't really watch TV, so my gripes are all radio issues.

Adverts where the company name is repeated about 20 times in the space of 30 seconds.

Any advert where they think shouting will somehow induce me to buy their product.

Tool hire/van insurance etc ads that insist on using the exact same white van man caricature. Also, any of these type of adverts that are voiced by Ralph Ineson (which is about 90% of them).

I really really hate some ads enough that I would refuse the product if it was free. 

Huel. I get that ad whenever I use my phone. 

You know adverts that show middle aged professional men doing a rap? Car adverts tend to do it. What year was it that somebody first laughed about an out of touch white man getting down with the kidz. 

What??! Liverpool players are using Nivea? That's why their skin looks so great on Match of The Day!! It all makes so much sense. Oh, look how much fun they're having rubbing it in! While in full kit too. Add to basket

[ramsbottom]

That one with a load of folk testing out the softness of a duvet in Covent Garden.  I'd gladly take a bat to the black chap with the squeaky voice.  So f***ng irritating!!!

[maxjam]

Not so much about specific ads but the adverts they are now inserting into Netflix/Amazon Prime etc shows and movies (unless you pay extra to go ad free). 

If they must do that, at least put some unskippable adverts before the opening credits rather than mid movie - although I guess thats not irritating enough to squeeze more money out of people.

[Kernow]

That On the Beach advert in the airport lounge, every single one of that family are infuriating.

someone listens to Talksport a lot! 😄

[Wolfie]

"Booking geniuses"

Any ad where they have to tell you who the "celebrity" is, because they're not actually that famous.

Footballers advertising anything but especially Head & Shoudlers. Are they that strapped for cash that they have to pretend they've got dandruff?!

Any ad badly dubbed into english. Usually cosmetics or cleaning products. If a 70million population isn't large enough for you to spend a few quid re-shooting an ad in English - you don't get my money.

Podcast ads that are scripted (badly) and read out (even more badly) by the presenters. Political Currency podcast is particularly awful at this. Ed Balls banging on about the new Peugeot 208 FFS.

[Foreveram]

Verisure ads played by out of work RADA members.

[Alph]

That Haribo advert with the two coppers never gets old.

When Eminem's first album hit the decks?

[Ram-Alf]

Staysure...couple on the plane💩

All adverts that want your loot for a cheap funeral 💩

All adverts that want your loot for gambling 💩

As Jimmy Cricket always said...come here there's more 😁

 

[ramit]

In particular, adverts where I am told how much the company cares about it's customers.

It would be much quicker naming adverts that don't irritate me.  Adverts are more and more creeping into everything, can't listen to music radio anymore, the commercial time equals the music time now, it is infuriating. 

I have a smart phone, but don't use the smarts, I do however play one game that comes included with it, a tile type of Majong thingy I enjoy.  At level 176 I can no longer play it without agreeing to some adverts first, I almost threw the phone into the wall.  It is my phone, I own it, it is not on rent, I should have complete control over it, but no grrr. 

Like the sucker that I can be, I came back and clicked on allowing the bare minimum of ads and I hate myself for that weakness.

How white and clean will teeth be 50 years from now? 

And when will I be able to clean that last 0.01% of dirt and grime in my bathroom?

[Gabby'sThighs]

Those ones with Joe Swash and the woman with the big teeth where they pretend to cook.

[BaaLocks]

Daytime telly ones that offer you chance to get cremated or write your will. But the absolute worst are the charity ones, "just £1000 a month could give Charlie the hamster the new wheel he needs for his cage". I don't challenge the cause, it's the sugary tug at my (all too absent) heart strings that I find just so hackneyed and repetitive. Someone, somewhere must be able to do a charity ad that isn't backed by violins?

That's a bit squeakist!  👀

Laundry detergent ones, where they promise their new product/formulation will remove those stubborn stains.

Hang on.....you've literally been telling us that for at least the last 40 years that I can remember. Are you saying that this product will get the stains out but all of your previous ones wouldn't?. In which case, you've been lying to us all this time. Jog on.

[Mostyn6]

where they make a big deal of saying the beef they use is British or Irish! Who cares?
