Adverts you hate #2

[Mr Krabs]

We need a very bleak and gloomy British movie about Sindy. Poor frumpy Sindy.

Temu ads! There flipping everywhere it’s like a plague ffs keep seeing it everywhere I look

Fun fact for any watchers of Eastenders;

The dandruff man was also the doctor who told Lola she had a brain tumour.

He appears at around 2 mins

Spoiler: Linky Link

Ah so he's medically knowledgeable and qualified enough to categorically state "I don't!" when accused of having dandruff . That's reassuring to know

We took Ferrero Rocher and ice cream and it became Ferrero Rocher ice cream.

Well no shit, Sherlock.

Two current YouTube ad annoyances that are on all the time:

The awful Qatar one. Jazz the advert up all you like, you can keep your modern slavery metropolis, thanks.

The H&M ad with Gigi Hadid and that bloody "Yes Sir I Can Boogie" song.

 

[StatusWoe]

The Marc Jacobs 'perfect perfect perfect' ad. Patronising, patronising, patronising.

 

[Pinkii]

The rimmel adverts.

fuck me the wokeness yeh thanks, i will definitely buy a foundation recommended by tom daley rimmel

We need a very bleak and gloomy British movie about Sindy. Poor frumpy Sindy.

I was always a Sindy girl when I was younger. Barbie was that American tramp, Sindy was from the mean streets of downtown Britain, more streetwise

In a fight, Sindy would fight dirty with her fists and probably scratch your eyes out, Barbie would be too concerned she’d break a nail

 

[StephenTJackson]

I like Judi Dench as an actress and a person generally.

But those Money Supermarket - Money Super Seven adverts can all fuck right off!

 

[Mr Krabs]

I’m amazed Ant and Dec still get work. I suppose they must be targeting a certain age group who are nostalgic for them.

I hate the Nationwide ads too with the bloody Oasis song. It’s so naff and we all know that banks aren’t on our side.

 

[Rita Chevrolet]

Something inside of me dies a little bit whenever the natalie portman dior perfume ad comes on.

Perfume ads are ALL chronically bad though

 

[EllenDeGenerate]

The one where the guy dunks the Oreo cookie into the glass of orange juice. Its f***ing disgusting.

While I'm at it, I HATE any and all laxative ads featuring smiling relieved WOMEN. Why never men?? Constipation is not gender-biased!

 

[Fledgling Psycho]

Awful animal charity ads re those poor bears,it breaks my heart about animal cruelty but……

Me too. I have to switch them off. The donkey ones are so heartbreaking yet you would have no money left if you get sucked into their pleas.

 

[Rita Chevrolet]

Imagine chatting gleefully on your doorstep about your funeral?

Or having June turn up to thank you for the advice about Sun Life - you get your own back by loading her up with boxfulls of parsnips though

 

[Mr Krabs]

Trussell Trust.
They don’t provide food to the needy.
They advise people how to set up food banks and charge them an extortionate amount for their advice

I dislike charity ads that are glossy and expensive. Who wants to donate to a charity then see them wasting cash on advertising? There’s an Ukraine one where people are saying the lyrics to You’ll Never Walk Alone that is on so much and I always wonder how much they wasted on it.

 

[Orphan_Black]

The Samsung 'I would never change my phone' flip phone one the girl looks so gormless

The Vinted person who goes barmy for checked patterns comes across as super gormless too.

 

[Mr Krabs]

"DARLING HOLD MY HAND!"

It's now 8 years that we've been having to listen to Jess Glynne as the soundtrack to low budget holidays.

Eight. Long. Years.

Worst of all they play it on the sodding plane! I went on a Jet2 holiday and as I was waiting to board I was standing right next to a speaker blasting the song. And then they played it again when we landed. Even the Ryanair landing noise is less annoying.

And Fred the Homepride flour grader with his little bowler hat ...I am prehistoric, Emperor

Ohhhh now that's brought back a memory! When I was a kid in the 70s/80s I wrote to Homepride asking why my cakes always burned (I was a rather stupid child with a lazy mother who would forget to get them out of the oven ) Anyway, they sent me a shit load of merch including a little Fred, measuring spoons, an apron, a recipe book etc It was really sweet and I treasured that stuff as a kiddie. I wish I still had it.

Burger King ‘it’s smoke, it’s like liquid smoke’ her voice goes through me

 

[Mr Krabs]

Does anyone else get annoyed hearing It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year because they associate it with those holiday ads that were on in summer? I don’t even remember who the ads were for. They were awful.
