Oh that advert brings me to rage. I love the original. They do it all the time. Electric Dreams being another. Just stop it
Yes!!! And they've tried to make it into a cheery, lovey-dovey song which it isn't. Reminds me of when couples have Every Breath You Take by The Police as their wedding song!!!

I've seen/suffered through the Jet2holidays advert so many times now that I am numb to the pain Jess Glynne and her 'singing' causes me.

The My Builder advert with the houses singing "Delilah" by Tom Jones. So many adverts with annoying singing.

When companies use their adverts to say how much they care about their customers. Especially banks and insurance companies.

I agree about the singing adverts. So cringe and there's loads of them too. They seem so naff & dated. When you think of the amazing tick tock advert from Guinness with the surfers and white horses, today's adverts are insulting they are so inane.

Imagine starting your holiday like that and having it stuck in your head for the rest of the fortnight
That reminds me a bit of my honeymoon where within the first four hours of being in the room, whilst my husband had a very long nap, the pool/bar (which you could hear from the room) played Pokerface by Lady GaGa almost every other song. The hotel left us a bottle of some fruity sangria type shiz as a gift. Needless to say my husband didn't get any. I'd previously quite liked the song but couldn't listen to it for years afterwards.

I cannot listen to that song without seeing Lesley from Benidorm doing it

"Francesco Mutti" and his sideburns running to catch a loose tomato.

The advert with the toads singing along to "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" but the words are changed to "toadally, toadally money...". Think the company is Totally Money or something. It's just really naff.

My Mum always says he was digging a hole to crap in

On YouTube I keep getting an advert for some kind of biological modelling software(?) for the female body. The ad is over a minute long and I count down the seconds until I can SKIP.

I pay for YouTube premium. Best money I ever spent. I have read of some people saying if you scroll to the end of the video, then replay it, the system thinks you've watched the adverts. Others say you can use Ad Block. I never worked it out though as a tech dunce.

The new Virgin Cruises advert with the revamped, techno version of "Like A Virgin" Seems to have been on every ad break on ITV today.

Xmas songs past Dec 25th is a no!
Came on here for this ad! Everything about it is horrible. The overweight boy smugly licking an ice-cream is so irritating and they pay it on every ad break!

I really really hate the new eBay advert!!! It’s literally on constantly.
The one that’s like “the love comes back to you” or something it’s honestly like nails on a chalkboard for me

Omg I also absolutely hate the dominoes advert when they’re calling to eachother making weird noises? Like what is the point of that

@lolzipops These manufacturers have a laugh at their customers. I can just picture the ideas being exchanged. "How about a bunch of Pratts yodelling for our health destroying crap so those losers watching will pick up the phone" Really wouldn't surprise me.

“Buy a thing, sell a thing” and yes it’s on nearly every as break

Like I said previously - like said boy would go to the buffet and just take a sprig of grapes?? Wheres the rest of the doughnuts, 12 ham rolls, 25 Penguin biscuits and a lump of cheddar that could feed a family of 6 easily?

The advert for the blind dogs where the lady lost her sight at University. It’s a powerful story but her voice just grates on me and when she says she’s getting married and Toffee will be the ring bearer…it all feels a bit cringey.

I am really, really starting to hate the Thames Water adverts where people sing about what not to put down the loo to the tune of ‘Oh dear, what can the matter be’. It’s everywhere and there are even short and long versions. I completely understand this is an issue but my God, that’s an annoying advert!

A weird thing to dislike, but when adverts have a shot of someone standing still as the camera backs away from them. Ebay ad does it with the little girl.

On the Beach. I don't want to hear Christmas songs when it's not Christmas, even if the lyrics have changed.

ASDA. The latest adverts are quite dull make it seem like it would be very bleak to shop in there.
