What's the Most Annoying Ad Currently on TV?
Ask a Question
What would you say are the worst advert/most annoying adverts that are currently on TV?
I mainly watch Netflix so don’t see many adverts, but see some when the sports channels are on.
The ones 2 I hate most are - Voxi, all hail Voxi with the thumbs, and she screams ALL HAIL VOXIII. And the other one is Deliveroo, the woman screeches Wagamama in an irritating voice.
I guess it makes you remember them but they are so annoying!
Yeah I hate that one too, I thought they had stopped it as I hadn’t seen it for a while but now back to playing it again!
I think it's "We sell any car" I think they set out to make them annoying. Although I must admit I agree with all those mentioned, that's why I record and fast forward through them
So agreeeeeeeeeeeee, can't stand it. It infuriates me when advertisers take us for morons!
Derek and June is the worst advert on tv. Derek can't wait to die, and talks June into joining in with his obsession. Where is his wife, Mary?. You never see her! Is she under the patio along with his daughter who you never see these days. Is Derek a serial killer that entices his future victims by selling them life insurance policies that he probably cashes in himself? Just how many victims are under his patio? Wait for the next thrilling episode! Gosh, how exciting.
Just seen the first Christmas advert of the year from Very. My view is that it is way too early and the advert is an awful noise.
I have a new 'worst advert'. It is from John Lewis and shows what I presume to be a gender fluid child strutting and bombarding his way around the house wrecking, smashing and spilling stuff. Although he presents as a boy in dress and make up (ok, that's how it is today), but if he were my kid I know what I would do. I won't say though or I will have the PC brigade on my back telling me kids should be able to express themselves!!!
Edit: Just read this back and sounds like I am moaning about a boy in a dress, I am not, I am stunned that any child could wreck a house and think it is ok.
YouTube say the ad has been pulled but I saw it just a couple of nights ago, was going to add link but it doesn't play.
Lynibis I agree totally with you on this and was pleased to hear the ad has been pulled. Online, though, there are a lot of people saying what fun the ad is.
Grannyclock yes I guess they would until their own child gets it in his/her head to copy as it looks like fun, and then wonder why they are reprimanded. And I am sure parents would think it great fun to have to clean up afterwards lol.
It got pulled because it was misleading customers into thinking you can trash your own house and claim on the insurance but apart from that it was a good advert.
The one that does my head in is the advert foe erectile disfunction the amount of times they say it does my nut in
I agree. Everyone prattles on about nothing should be taboo these days but I disagree. There is no need to make personal problems public as there is always someone you can go to for help/advice. Especially as there really is no such thing as a watershed anymore.
Just seen the new John Lewis insurance advert has been banned as it is potentially misleading. I totally agree.
The one I can't stand just now is the Lenor outdoorables one! The song is so annoying and they are creating a problem that doesn't exist!
The inane daisy daisy daisy ad is back, I suppose for Christmas, but I have a new worst advert.
Woman lying prone on sofa grinning like a Looney tunes character (I won't attempt to describe what she appears to be experiencing!) and then partner joins her and goes same way. All I can say is that I don't respond well to ads that treat me like an infant and I'll definitely not buy a sofa from them!
The Verisure home security ads are getting right on my wick, they are coming on more and more frequent.
I think it would have to be just eat adverts. Can’t stand them. I also don’t see the point in perfume adverts.
There is now another inane as from Marc Jacobs (as the daisy daisy daisy one I mention above) where they keep repeating perfect, perfect, perfect. As no one is perfect it makes it all the more silly.
Hate the erectile problem adverts especially the one calling a man's ***** different things. Willy dong stick. Etc, no need for it. Most annoying
Juicyface
Olay 24hr Retinoh no you don't...Quick switch it off before I retch.
Big woman's face in yr face with speech that reminds me of Roy Hattersley on Spitting Image... I'm a beauty expert and I want juicy skin...or whatever the earcringing crap it is she says.If I were 5yo I'd be terrified.
There has been an advert recently that is driving me crazy. It shows a blubbing woman lying on a sofa looking at her dog (who is sitting nearby looking at her with a disinterested attitude) while she babbles on about how wonderful the pet is and she doesn't know how he does it. I assume the ad is telling us that animals are good for our mental health. Whilst I agree with that sentiment why on earth is the animal just sitting staring while she is still crying her eyes out. Surely the correct message would be the pet nuzzling/cuddling the human and her smiling and petting the animal with a smile. The whole advert is pathetic.
That channel 4 climate change one where all the people are twerking with black stains on this y fronts. Not really sure what it means tbh
JLouM Totally agree with you on this one but have noticed they have a new one out and i think they only say it once, but now everyone watching in my household goes daisy, daisy, daisy!
Not an ad but I think a trailer for a programme about climate change. We are all aware of climate change. It’s about our carbon footprint. But why do I want to see a load of business men with soiled pant/nappies pegged on a washingline? I just don’t get it. The voice over mentions skid marks. I just think it’s poor taste and could get there message across without being disgusting.
kitty171185 Definitely. I hadn't seen it for a little while, but the crap started showing again around Xmas. Just because of that ad, I would never fly Virgin.
Go woke, go broke
Those CRINGY Currys adverts,I knew a guy who was Sales Manager for Sheffield branch of Curry's & he would say the same no doubt!
He was intelligent ,ex teacher,,clean shaven noo long weird beard & didn't eat paper either!!
Pot noodle advert with the disgusting slurping is so annoying but the deliveroo is close 2nd
The one annoying advert on at the moment is the IONOS one. No idea what it is about but it is worse advert ever and Aunt Helga needs to be stopped!
My latest advert hate is the Maltesers one where a black lady introduces her new white boyfriend to her black family. He stands in the doorway, they all stare as he eats Maltesers and seems like a halfwit with an inane look.
All car advertising that have a left hand drive car in it - bloody take a video for the UK market.
I hate it
The McCain one does my head in atm
There they are talking about tough times and then they've got the cheek to sell chips at £4.30 for a 1.6kg bag
It was Andy Warhol who declared, “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” Hopefully 15 minutes will be ALL the glaikit-looking woman seated on a park bench as per script of the latest annoying Scotto advert will achieve. (Just to give background to this advert, it is shown on STV which serves mainly central Scotland. It is quite amateurish and parochial and is advertising an alternative Lottery to the National Lottery).
Scotto woman in real-life actually hails from south of the border but no matter, she tries her very best to mimic the parlance of a Scottish person. No doubt many hours were spent rehearsing and practising in front of a mirror in a vain attempt to perfect a Scottish accent. And bless her, but the comical result is a strange concoction of differing degrees of dialect whereby the ‘Scottish’ accent conceived by the Scotto woman ultimately strays cross- country during her 2 lines of ‘acting’. Even Mrs Doubtfire would flinch at this!
I am left pondering the purpose of the Hi-Viz vest and why Scotto woman is the only one wearing such attire. The only conclusion I can come to is, this is her not so subtle way of saying, “Look at me!”
