The current Moon Pig advert is the most irritating yet. "You are the loveliest brother I know" and what is the blank in this sentence??? "blank banana and monkey boy" I can never tell what she says.

Such good times. Not.
There was a thread on here last week about this. Apparently she says Super Banana & Monkey Boy

Heard it on Heart radio months ago long before I even saw it on TV
Luckily I'd managed to avoid it until now, I actually had to change radio stations the other day because it was doing my head in.

is it only me, or am I right in thinking that the female cancer ads are supportive and sympathetic, the prostate one is just insulting and pathetic
When I first saw that hideous and aggressive advert, I came away thinking that they had done the absolute bare minimum to disguise their contempt at producing an advert designed to help solely men. Almost like they're trying to say "sorry not sorry you got cancer".

Every advert is designed to make men feel bad for being men. Or to demean them and make them look stupid. Especially MARRIED men. Even when the man isn't even a human male, like that B&Q one with the beaver (?), he is made to look like a complete berk being frightened by his cheap electric drill whilst his wife literally wears the trousers - but not the gay zebra - he's moved out from his "black and white" (implied: homophobic) parents house and is now some kind of Tommy Walsh and Allan Carr all rolled into one. How lovely and "empowering".

I hate it. I hate the way they are allowed to get away with it and I hate the sort of scum who go around calling this discrimination and bigotry "tolerance" and "equality"
Just seen it for the first time .Hideous advert. I can’t believe the discrepancy between this and the adverts for cancer that are aimed at women. What a horrible and childish way to approach a serious issue.

It's a strange concept, can't remember my brother's birthday, can't be bothered to put reminders in the phone / app / any of the many other ways.
"Did you know you can set up reminders of important dates in your Moonpig account?"
Although not as weird as the previous reminder one where there's a note in his lunch box...

Gtech being on every ad break! I've noticed that they've dated the Daily Mail review they keep referencing. Goes all the way back to April 2012. We've put up with this bloody advert for FOUR F***ING YEARS!

And now they've got bikes too!
I loathe this man with every fibre of my very being. I hate his face, AND his annoying voice (one hundred and ninety nine paaaaaaaaaaands! ) And I hate the whole stupid concept of it. No more cord tying you back, no more attachments shackling you! FFS, how did we all cope for over a CENTURY with vacuum cleaners with a cord?! I mean, my life would have been soooooo much better if I had not had to suffer a vacuum cleaner with a bloody cord!!!

Stupid, just stupid! And yes it IS on way too often!

As the insufferable "son" character is absent from the new Tesco advert, is this the first example of a company actually listening to the opinions of the viewing public? Or just a happy coincidence?
I am so glad this 40 year old couple's 38 year old 'son' has gone from, but I still hate the ad!

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks BBT is as funny as a perianal abscess
Awful programme. Stereotypical nerds, 'hilarious' Star Trek 'references' and loads more predictable crap. Hate it.

Smug young professional git drinking his Weetabix drink is back.
Stupid ad. Stupid product. How long would it take to eat 2 weetabix? A few minutes? Just get up a bit earlier FFS.

Agree 100%. I hate the sexism towards men in ads. I am sure the ad-makers think they're being hilarious, and so cool by making women look cleverer than men, but it's just moronic! And don't even get me STARTED on ads that make CHILDREN look smarter than the parents!

Looks like Myleene Klass is back with her Littleweods advert, showing what you can buy this summer, because she has got the Littlewoods touch
I loathe Klass with a flaming passion. And I don't even know why. She just seems so.... smug. And the way she blathers on about babies and how to raise children, as if no-one else has ever done it!

The new Domino pizza advert where the people are talking with weird mouths
Gross and irritating. WTF is the point?!

Oh and I hate that AWFUL TRAVELODGE ad! "The short hop to my meeting is a revalayshoooon!"

And the ad for SCHPOCK! And the Godawful female voiceover.

I just came on here to report the return of the Tesco family but I see it's been noted
THIS! The fist pump! The "lets go upstairs to the bedroom" line! Argh!

I really dislike the Chris Tarrant lottery advert. Makes the air in my house turn blue! He has such a smug face!

The advert from The X Factor, when the cab driver starts singing Adele's 'Hello', of all the songs one could pick. It just strikes me the show sucking up to Adele, making out that it's already a timeless classic.

These lines make me cringe as well in the new Tesco ad. What's even worse is when they are in the bedroom putting up curtains and he says: "This was not what I had in mind" and then she says: "We can always do it naked". Brrrrrrr

The 'let's go upstairs to the bedroom' line is obviously to make him think he's got lucky. When we see him putting up the curtains and saying "this is not what I had in mind" that should be the end of the advert as that is the punchline. But no they have to take it one step further with the naked comment. What is the point of that last line?

Those lines might have worked if there were anything even remotely appealing about that woman. Sorry, I know that's a bit cruel, I know I'm supposed to think that guy's lucky when she comes out with it, but instead, I just end up feeling a bit sorry for him

is he the "Blind man"
female in the bath hears doorbell, calls out "Who is it" reply "Blind man" so she thinks, "Well if he's blind I shan't bother with getting dry and putting on a dressing gown", so she goes to the door naked and opens the door, the man standing there says "Which room did you want the blinds in"

The chemical-cheese-ooze* in a plastic tub advert, the angels in heaven, one of the girls is about to go out and the other tells her no shagging, WTF you are angels in heaven, you don't do that sort of thing because of the whole angelic not sinning thing and it's just so desperately forced, was there not some other 'script' on the other side of that post-it note?



* Loosely translates as 'love of' 'blue-and-white pottery from a Dutch city' with a typo.

Avon advert with stupid peabrained self-obsessed bloggers applying make-up and then feigning surprise when it's revealed to be Avon - especially the one with skin the colour of stained teapot who says, "This goes on extremely easy". It's EASILY, you halfwit.
