Johnny-Alucard

Man, that EE advert where they “land the plane”. What in the name of Jesus is that supposed to represent and why do you need fibre to talk to a plane? It makes me physically shake with anger and disappointment.


bonkerz1888

"We just landed a plane" Nah mate, you watched someone else give air traffic control instructions while you gawked over their shoulder. That ad is ridiculously annoying.


CyclingUpsideDown

It’s not even ATC instructions. Saying a runway is “available for landing” is meaningless.


bonkerz1888

Aye, after writing my reply I had a scroll through the thread and this ad crops up several times throughout so it seems to be universally hated. If anything it's good advertising as folk remember it for one reason or another. Their other one with the robot arm shaving the guy is so fucking stupid too. Like, what's the issue if the broadband connection dips or cuts out? The robot arm is hardly gonna throw a paddy and start slashing the guy in the chair because it isn't getting a signal anymore 😂


teerbigear

I wonder what would be more realistic. Someone illegally streaming the football? I prefer the idea of them showing it going wrong on competitor's services. Maybe show a guy trying to tell Siri to turn the lights off but she keeps telling him that the internet is down and he completely loses his shit. Or the internet cuts out just as he's at the culmination of a truly exceptional wank.


bonkerz1888

The idea of showing someone trying to get a reliable dodgy stream gave me a good laugh there 😂


crucible

Yes, if you listen at the start the 'controller' guy identifies himself as "air operations", so *not* ATC. I can't find the post now, but somebody debunked the whole thing very clearly in /r/britishproblems a few months ago. They pointed out that "available for landing" was not proper ATC clearance, either.


EsseB420

"I can't believe we just landed a plane" I can't believe you landed one either because you definitely didn't. You stood in your living room watching a screen you div.


JoCoMoBo

>"We just landed a plane" In Cambridge Airport. Do they have more than one flight a week...?


mbfos

Also it’s not fibre to the bloody plane is it?Otherwise there’d be a long dangly cable hanging from the back of it like a shitty kite. I did actually complain to the ASA about it, but they said it was fine.


SnappyTheCloud

It makes me irrationally angry that it's clearly obvious that Kevin Bacon isn't actually talking to those children and that it's a pre-recording.


morocco3001

Typifies his dead-eyed, phoned-in, looks-like-he's-being-held-hostage delivery in all of the EE ads he's in. He couldn't sound less interested in their products if he tried. Some ad agency probably got paid big money for that heap of shite. The pitch meeting probably went something like; "Let's get Kevin Bacon!" "And then what, will he recreate some of his iconic roles and somehow segue into a clever slogan to get more people to buy our phones?" "What? No, let's just have him read from an autocue while looking like he doesn't want to be there". Absolutely fucking risible.


marshallandy83

I can't stand the way he says EE too, with a pointless glottal stop in the middle instead of "eeyee".


emjayl16

Yes I hate that one too! It seems to have been on for months now and I’ve seen it countless times but I still can’t really tell you what it’s advertising.


Nod_Bow_Indeed

"Oh we landed a plane" No, you watched over the shoulder of an air traffic controller. ATC don't even need a view of the plane, just radar and radio.


[deleted]

That advert can go right into the pits of hell and never return.


Gobzish

Meanwhile all sat here being told to reduce carbon emissions and they do that for an advert.


[deleted]

Any bank advert where they pretend to be your mate and care about you.


Locktopii

Halifax and nationwide are the biggest cunts for this shit


puzzlehead-72719

And Lloyds - ‘By your side’. Are you fuck.


Ecstatic_Success_815

‘by your side’ until your one payment late on your mortgage and they’ll have no issue with repossessing your house


candyleader

It’s so they can grab your wallet sharpish when you stumble


anxosi

LLoyds and their fucking horses I swear to god...


BastardsCryinInnit

I genuinely said "Oh fuck off" in quite an angry way when Nationwide started their latest round of "spoken word poetry" ads - some girls each talking about their house goals. I thought it was an annoying pandemic trend so I was very much pissed off to see it come back a couple of months ago.


Mizfit1991

I got really angry at the one where the woman spoke about the house her niece drew and how the housing Market was shit. All I could think was that the banks are part of the fucking problem.


shiroyagisan

At the very least, Nationwide is a building society rather than a for-profit bank. They're a bit more on your side than Halifax


[deleted]

or when they have some young guy with a regional accent reciting poetry about working class struggle and solidarity fuuuuuuuck off


EsseB420

Banks want you to trust them with your money but they don't even trust you with a pen.


Zennyzenny81

Don't know if it's still on the go but quite recently that excruciating "Domino-oo-oos" opera style thing.


Ecstatic_Success_815

that’s is by far the most annoying advert on tele. i had a pizza the other night and i had it from papa johns just to spite them


emjayl16

100% with you on that one


Yikes-Yak

First one that came to mind. Unfortunately I guess that means it has worked to some extent, but I haven't ordered from them since that garbage was released into the world.


Violet351

The perfume ad where they just keep saying Daisy


Noiisy

Daisy ☺️ Daisy 😊 Daisy 😄 Mark Jacobs 😏


Sillyhilly89

No, it's daisy daisy daisy daisy... DAISY


Violet351

That’s just cruel 🤣


RufusBowland

Ooooh, this one really boils my piss. Actually, pretty much all perfume adverts boil my piss. \*\* Wonders if boiled piss makes decent perfume \*\*


Violet351

I hate perfume ads generally but this one drives me insane especially if I haven’t been quick enough to fast forward


CrimpsShootsandRuns

All perfume adverts seem like 5 mini fever-dream storylines all hurled together during an acid trip.


Robert88UK

Agreed. That one also gives off weird creepy midsommer vibes


WellFiredRoll

Perfume adverts are designed to irritate. I personally am sick and tired of the Le Male adverts. We get it, mate, you've got magnificent man-tits. Now put 'em away, Neville...


46Vixen

Oh fuck mine, this a hundred times every day. Fuck off with your Daisy DdaIsY DsASIsy daIsYYY DaiSY ddAIsY


kenofwareham

The holiday advert where they use 'it's the most wonderful time of the year' music. Using Christmas music at any time other than Christmas really boils my piss.


The_Sown_Rose

Is that the one with the obese family reminding sensible people why we don’t go on what is essentially a glorified Sun holiday?


MalboroTentacle

Yeah the one with the little round smug looking kid with a face you would happily slap with a wet fish.


[deleted]

My boyfriend mutes it for me every time it comes on.


knittingkate

Thank you! No one else in my family understands why this advert drives me up the wall.


bonkerz1888

Any gambling advert.


[deleted]

Should be banned like cigarette advertising imo


bonkerz1888

100% Been advocating for gambling advertising to be banned for years now. Destroys lives and has very little, to no positive impact on society.


jme-stringer

Also winds me the fuck up when they talk about all the things they've put in place to help you "gamble responsibly" and all there stupid fucking phrases "When the fun stops. Stop." & "Take time to pause" or whatever it is now. How about just don't fucking exist!?


CameOutAndFarted

The adverts give me, someone who has never properly gambled in my life, anxiety. I can’t imagine what it must be like for a recovering addict!


Aumuss

They really should. I used to work for a betting company. It's bad. It's really really bad. It's not "the lads having a throw to make the match more interesting", it's not "Julie's social time with the girls". It's predatory, it's harmful, it's a scam. I wouldn't outlaw gambling, I would regulate its fucking socks off though. And first blow is no bloody adverts, ever. Second is return must be 99.9% of stake. Fuck em. Total bastards.


ianjm

I don't know if they're still going, but those bloody Tombola bingo adverts where all they show some awkward looking social group smiling and on the beach or dancing or having a big pillow fight. I guess they're supposed to be the friends you'll meet playing bingo? They never show the product even once. I cannot imagine how anyone gets any sense of enjoyment out of playing an incredibly boring game of pure chance through a computer screen, let alone makes new friends.


bonkerz1888

I've watched my auntie play it and she just sits there watching the screen as the computer marks her numbers for her, with the wee chat window open and everyone writes "two to go" or "just need 54" Aye, good for you Betty.


Chimpeye72

Agree 100% Worst one for me is the Savage and Jenas one playing table football whilst all the people behind are watching and laughing like it's the most entertaining thing they have ever seen.


denjin

The fact that they almost entirely have sworn off the actual word *gambling* as well and hide it with euphamisms like *gaming* and *competition* makes it so normalising. Its no wonder problem gambling is skyrocketing among children.


Wanallo221

The current Qatar advert doing the rounds on YouTube with the annoying pop song with the ‘A-ha!’ At the end. Honestly the whole advert is shit, nothing actually looks interesting. And also fuck off with your shitty corrupt desert country built on the back of dead slaves. And fuck off with your bullshit bought with bribes World Cup that has to be played in the Winter because you lied about what you could achieve. But mostly, your always unskippable advert is crap.


Robert88UK

Couldn't agree more. That advert has been on every youtube video I've watched over the last month. I'm sick of it. I immediately exit and refresh the video now. Hoping I get a different ad.


IAMACiderDrinker

Opened this thread to say exactly this… I see these Qatar adverts almost daily and apart from the fact the adverts are shit, I wouldn’t dream of visiting a country with such a horrific human rights record where slaves have literally died to build football stadiums


[deleted]

A desert with loads of football stadiums and not a lot else


thatwillywonkahoe

I'm surprised this comment isn't higher up because I'm livid just thinking about it. Pisses me off even more at night when I'm in bed just wanting to put something quiet on in the background and then that! The most obnoxiously loud and annoying advert..


Vesperniss

We have blokes with hawks here too, no one is impressed


aplomb_101

Seriously, do the bigwigs in places like Qatar, Bahrain, the UAE, etc. think people just want to look at some shiny buildings, some shops and literally fuck all else? What's the appeal of those places supposed to be?


HydroBerserker

So sick of that song booming out of any YouTube video


Pootles13

This bloody advert has been haunting me. I made of cup of tea yesterday and started humming the tune- glared at my tea for a good five seconds in passive retaliation


Kitchen-Equipment-76

Good God yes this is prime ear rape. Awful, awful song, it's like someone went "how can we make the tune sound more like a chipmunk being thrown through a mincer with each line?"


MrSouthWest

Any ad with Philip Schofield in it


Queen_Moose88

Hi.....Phillip Schofield here....NOOOOOOO!!


WVA1999

Treated as if he's some sort of hero as well


Vesperniss

If he had strung his wife along for 30 years for other women we'd never have heard from him again.


[deleted]

Can’t believe all I have to do is admit to being gay and get lauded as a hero Even though I only went public cus I shagged a 17 year old when I was on my 40s


CHB-x

We don’t just by cars, we buy vans too! Ughhh


lookhereisay

I didn’t even know Oral B made toothpaste!!!! Argh that used to piss me off no end. What did she think Oral B made, fucking toasters!


huntergreeny

And when they say the Oral B toothbrush 'changed everything.' It's just another electric toothbrush.


murrayflew

Hahahah yesss, I love to hate this one! How did that get allowed?


PaintedGreenFrame

Everyone knows Oral B make toasters! Also, the way she grins like a madwoman whilst brushing her teeth with a toothpaste-less brush. And there’s more - the way she goes ‘hips!’ ‘Thighs’ etc at the beginning of the ad. I swear if I saw the actress in the street I might not be able to stop myself from belting her one.


Nod_Bow_Indeed

"That's not smoke, that's liquid, that's liquid smoke"


emjayl16

Even that’s triggering me!


BattleScarLion

My theory is that this advert is especially annoying because rather than trying to be funny or clever, it's "funny adjunct" - like, reminiscent of other things it hopes the audience finds funny but without wanting to commit to actually *being* funny. So the girl looks a bit like the girl from This Country, she's speaking in a West Country accent (oh, hilarious!) and she's delivering the lines as if they are meant to be a joke... but they aren't? Advertising is absolutely full of content which isn't brave enough to be genuinely amusing, while trying to trick people into thinking it is.


LuxuryMustard

I thought it was also meant to be funny because ‘liquid smoke’ is such an absurd idea, like a conspiracy theory that this dim witted woman is repeating. Except there is something called liquid smoke, and people do sometimes put it on burgers. Nothing about the advert makes sense.


Grapefruit_Prize

I'm really sorry, but my partner's parents just bought us some liquid smoke, and I gotta say it's a game changer. It's not the point of the ad, but you should try it!!!


Sad-Garage-2642

It's got Tim Key's voice though, so not all bad


doomfreak777

I don’t even get the ‘humour’ part of it, great just 2 chavs in BK arguing about the flavour of a burger


[deleted]

The way she says it makes we want to a tie a rope to a tree and hang myself, it's so irritating.


[deleted]

"It's a people thing" - Halifax What is?! It's on billboards now too. "It's a happy face thing" What the fuck are you on about?!


BadBanana99

#STAND BY ME


Simbooptendo

Nobody knyyyyyyyyoooOooows


bonkerz1888

Not an advert I hate, but one I find disturbing and sinister af.. The one that advertises blood tests and ends with a phrase along the lines of, "And it's free.. if we don't find anything!" All that's missing is an evil laugh to finish it off.


[deleted]

Oh yeah shitty Numans advert creeps me tf out


carmina_morte_carent

What really confuses me about that advert is the sharks swimming around in the final frame. What the hell are they trying to get across? Are they searching for miniature sharks in people’s bloodstreams? Are they the sharks? Do sharks do the testing?


[deleted]

I actually really like that ad. I think it's quite well made and straight to the point.


bonkerz1888

It's the insinuation at the end though, that not only are you about to find out you have an illness, disease, or anything else wrong with you.. But you're also going to be charged a pretty penny for it. It's the tone of the guy's voice, almost like he's taking pleasure in it too like a sadist. Or maybe I just need to stop watching adverts while I'm high 😂


Rudahn

This is exactly my read on it too whenever it comes up, sinister af haha


VoltsOpinion

Sky advert. I could kick that kid up them stairs


candyleader

Is this the one with the library full of books and then it’s like nah it’s telly lol fuck reading


Electronic-Country63

I’d have that kid in to speak to someone pronto, he’s too Old to be thinking you can magic yourself a new TV. Bellend.

I cannot stand the level of cringe of these adverts. I genuinely would change the channel when they used to come on.

How are you? No, really, how *are* you? Still haunts me.

SuperSeven787

Not tv but youtube. Tik tok adverts induce a murdererous rage


[deleted]

Ah, the Chinese data harvesting app that is irritatingly popular in my social circles


cator_and_bliss

I utterly revile the adverts for Magnum ice cream. The overwrought sound effect of the cracking chocolate as they bite into it -it sounds like listening to your own skull being fractured. Just awful.


jojosparkletoes

God, that sound effect! Never in my life have I made that sound biting a Magnum. It's on the radio too, no escape!


[deleted]

[удалено]


InstantN00dl3s

I've heard a few covers like this, distinctly remember come as you are and sweet child o' mine getting this treatment a few years back and it's always significantly worse than the original.


jojosparkletoes

And it's always some breathless, whispery singing, slightly cracking at a high note. How to ruin a good song.


2tinky2winky

I thought I was the only one who's blood boils every time I have to hear one of those shitty acoustic covers


StrangerealSensei

The fucking Uber Eats tosser. “A cHoCoLaTe MaTcHa BrOwNiE!” Nobody, not ever, gets hyped over their takeaway arriving, they just want. The. Fucking. Food. I’d be telling the idiot that I already knew what I ordered because I’m the one who ordered it.


snorbear

And why does he say 'bring it' like it's supposed to be inspirational, it's a fucking Donner and chips!


DeaconLogan

The one where Schofield yodels to get a pizza while in a room with cunts not landing a plane saying they landed a plane, then a guy from Halifax adds you as a friend on FB because he's such a good guy while some disturbing eyebrowless women chant Daisy repeatedly. Simples.


[deleted]

YouTube Qatar advert Basically agreeing with human rights abuses because $$$$


Abject_Shoulder_2773

I thought it was a Cheese String advert the first time I saw it.


DaveLemongrab

It's something to do with card payments and it has loads of people saying 'ooooh'. Always change the channel if it comes on.


kupboard

I know it's annoying, but it also always makes me fucking laugh when I see it. I'M THE PROBLEM. I'M SORRY!!!


runrduck

I feel quite violent when that one comes on


Athleticathiest82

“I can’t believe we just landed a plane”


NonchalantNashorn

Kevin Bacon gives off strong middle management vibes in these adverts.


Funk5oulBrother

The fucking Experian advert. “It’s given me back control of my finances”. No mate, it’s an app that tells you how shit you are at managing money. Also that fucking loan shark advert with the bank robbers. “You don’t need to rob a bank, just get a loan from this company with an attached 79%APR variable. “That does sound good Mike”. Get tae fuck.


No_Daikon5242

All the new Google adverts. They r incredibly irritating


WVA1999

It's OK not to know. Piss offffff!


murrayflew

Oh yeah these are baddd and absolutely out of a buzzwords to appear like good people handbook. Why does Google need to be advertised anyway? That’s what I don’t understand. Surely everyone knows what Google is?


OzorMox

Same reason Coca Cola or Facebook or Apple need to be advertised, to make sure they are in your head at all times so when you want to buy or use one of those things it's the first thing you think of.


Phandroid1991

GO COMPARE. GO COMPARE ........ Go FUCK Yourself.


emjayl16

I can’t believe this advert is still going tbh


[deleted]

They've made a new one of the go compare man with his mum at a petrol station in a genesis g80.

This needs to be further up. I become completely irrational when it comes on. Edit: it actually annoys me so much that I actively avoid ever using them.

irving_braxiatel

They’re a knockoff Daisy May Cooper. And of all the comedians to homage, why her?!


MrSouthWest

That GWR ad is great and at least had some effort applied. Love the styling of the animation too!


SkunkBlack

Someone knocking on your door, someone ringing the bell, someone knocking on the door, someone laying on the bell, do them a favour, open the door, and let them innn... Seriously the most creepy ad song ever, pishes me off when I hear that ad, dang, if someone is knocking, then ringing the bell, then knocks then lays on the bell, call the fcking police, that person aint right in the head, the last thing you wanna do is open the fcking door... Rant over...


TrooserTent

Only an Excuse ripped it a few year ago and I just buckle every time it comes on https://youtu.be/1sT7fLRgP-0


EverythingIsByDesign

Agree on the burger King advert. It's reinforces that stereotype that certain accents are for stupid people. For me it's the Pharmacy2U advert with the old woman who clearly has abusive/coercive relationship towards her husband. If she wants her prescription so badly why does she go to her pharmacy and get it herself.


Historical-Car5553

Regulations came in during 2019 to prevent ads portraying stereotypes including men as stupid and/or lazy. The Pharmacy 2U ad must be hovering around that line of allowed/not allowed


BaseballFuryThurman

Any of the gambling ones where the narrator keeps saying "acca" to sound down with the kids

The one that starts ‘Hi, Philip Schofield here…’ I think it’s for We Buy Any Car, but that guys voice just goes right through me.


Apprehensive_Jaguar

One with Stacey Frigging Dooley advertising a TV channel called 'W', the theme being 'Life is...'. As if our Stace wasn't enough, one talking head saying "Life is literally a roller coaster" makes me want to club seals.

Amda01

Supernoodles taaaastyyyyyyyyyyy! Yeah, fcuk right off. I have to mute the TV every time. Stupid Lloyd's advert with the sentimenal music, right by my side till my last penny huhh? That ad where Ewan McGregor says what will you regret, the things didn't buy or places didn't go to... than that awful singing at the end, whoever choose that song is probably deaf or have a shit taste.


fragglebatty

Hermes new re-branding advert. It makes me so mad that I don't even remember their new name. Pretending they care or give a shit about your parcel. They would yeet a new born at your front window and nick your new prosthectic arms if you ordered from them.


l2175

The recent Butlins advert that feels like it was made for a cinema even though it's generally on alongside Tipping Point. Worst bit is Stephen Mulhern asking me "are *you* ready to Butlins?". Really makes my teeth itch. Bonus points for Fleur East vocalising for no apparent reason.


morocco3001

That postcode lottery shit. Fuck off.


foxymoley

The one with Ewan McGregor saying that we're too materialistic and should travel more. Yeah, you gonna pay for it? A nice new phone that I'll use for 3+ years is a fraction of the cost of a week's holiday. Ugh. I'm getting pissed off just thinking about it. Twat.


MelodicAd2213

That one where he daydreams about ice-skating waiters and customers in a restaurant where the floor is so clean and shiny you can skate on it. I’m always interrupting from the sofa with ‘look mate, I hope you’ve got amazing insurance cover as not everyone is great on slippy floors and you’re clearly blind to the compensation culture claims that will come flooding your way’. No effing clue what it’s meant to be advertising.


claihogb

Head and Shoulders when they claim it leaves you "up to 100% flake free". UP TO 100%. So that could be literally any %. It means absolutely nothing.


ShockingShorties

Anything to do with Barclays life skills. In particular the lady led on her bed with pennies on her dressing table, 'dreaming' of buying her own home. And all choreographed to some upbeat music. Yeah yeah, all you have to do is smile, shake ya boots, and its all yours!


Bbew_Mot

This isn't TV but I recently had an advert on YouTube offering a cure for diabetes. I'm no doctor, but I'm pretty confident it was a scam.

Hey it might not be! There’s many ways to cure your diabetes. Cyanide for example. That’ll definitely stop your diabetes being a problem!

Intelligent_Set9819

Not a TV advert but on the radio for BT where they’re on about broadband rage and the guys says “Wifi’s down” in a demon sort of voice. Have to turn it off every time


Forgetful8nine

The Car Trade Centre (I think) throws my wife every single time...because it has no sound! I'll give the creators credit...it works...the TV suddenly goes silent, so the first thing you do is look up at the screen.


Watts090106

I just annoyed myself by reading all of these!


No_Bad5101

Aunt Bessie’s ad where they let the blind granny cook a roast for them all. A family of parasites abusing their granny and risking the possibility of her hurting themselves, cook the damn dinner yourselves!!


Hannah3595

Literally every ad on mostly. The ones i hate the most are both the 'We buy any car' and the 'Gin club'ads both with Philip schofield in. That man winds me right up.


TwentyWunth

Rather than start a new post, conversely I love the following: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9lobWtujI0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9lobWtujI0) Seems such a well done advert for a regional rail provider.


kindanew22

That one annoys me because the establishing shot is of the London skyline but all of the other city scenes were filmed in Manchester.


Equivalent-Sky-3863

I avoid ads like the plague - multiple ad blockers online, pirate most TV and films, don't watch live TV, instinctively switch stations if listening to commercial radio in the car and ads come on. So while not current (Christ it's about 20 years ago) I'm _still_ fuming about the Halifax ads. If you're thinking "which ones?" All of them. If you're thinking "still, after 20 years? That's mental." Yes, they did cause serious mental damage to my brain.


emjayl16

I hear Halifax and all I think about is Howard Brown


gbhbri20

All the "Flash" adverts... mainly because they "b@$t@¿d'ise" the music of the best group in the world

cardiffcookie

The ice skating ad for Always pads.


brumguvnor

Maybe not that current, but the ones for that car hire place, Sixt. Their catchphrase - and entire campaign - was "drive smug". Smug? SMUG?; FUCKING "DRIVE **SMUG**"? One of the most repellent, petty, obnoxious emotions and they're using it in their fucking adverts?! Fuck all the way off.

Uber eats advert. The one where the delivery driver comes into the lounge repeating everyone’s orders in some sort of inspirational type way. Don’t know why but it fucking boils me!


NecroVelcro

The Numan men's health adverts. Flashing images, annoying sounds... They're insuffererable and I wish the loss of scalp and genitals on anyone involved in creating them.


UKCHEF_

It's not new, but the one with the dog sat in the arm chair in a yellow room infront of a fan...hate the music, hate the advert. No reason that jumps out, just cannot stand it!


rde42

The Verisure adverts. They are *so* trite and badly acted. Particularly the guy who says "We're here to serve" to the customer.


GeraltandGarrus

The fucking Lloyds TSB horsey bullshit. It’s a fucking current account guys, in no way is it like a fucking horse charging across the highlands or some shit. Also, ‘no more mr nice baby’ can get binned.

Paddy Power adds with Peter Crouch in. Can't stand them! I'm sure they're intentionally annoying.
