Isn't the one going out on the date meant to be the other one's mother?
No idea, I thought it was just the nagging flatmate

Malteasers advert, as usual man is made to look stupid by allegedly having an affair because you know, only men have affairs obviously, if it was the other way round they'd be up roar.
so you've never been dumped by a woman then, that IS how they do it, my way is "It's not me, it's you" sometimes they don't work that one out, if I'm lucky, but not always, I have the scars to prove it

For another reason to hate that Weetabix Drink advert, a 250ml serving of the Vanilla flavour contains 20g of sugar. A can of full fat coke - a slightly larger 330ml can has 35g of sugar...

And they promote this shite for breakfast...

And now Clearscore. Can you guess what the main complaint is going to be? Yep, she speaks to her boyfriend in such a nasty, dismissive tone whilst at the same time using his head as a footrest, quite aggressively too at one point. Then the talking dog.

Normal Weetabix messes with my gut as it is, so I dread to think what a liquid version would do!
Maybe they could combine the liquid Weetabix ad with the one that starts with someone shouting "POO STAINS!"

"poo stains!?" (shouted louder than the rest of the advert, right at the start.)

Always seems to come on when I'm eating.
Complained about that one before. I think they put it on at 6pm just to annoy people

This might make me sound completely heartless, but the latest Cancer Research tripe is really starting to boil my pee.

I watch 4OD regularly and literally, at the beginning of every show and set of adverts throughout;

It's to help the magic medicine go onto mummy
hehehehehehe
SORRY
It's not scary is it?
Mummy has to go and have her special tablets now...

I've seen the advert so many times that I've typed the above script off the top of my head.

FFS Cancer Research! I'm assuming these adverts are an appeal for money? but how much money has it cost you to have this advert shown on every single advert slot for the last week (at least)???

I don't want to offend any Welsh people here, but is there any reason why a Royal London advert on cover for funeral costs is delivered by a Welshman? Nothing wrong with the Welsh accent per se, it just seems too perky and bright for this particular advert.

You can't stop the little darlings from doing anything they want these days!!!!
It's like the washing powder advert when the kids come in covered from head to toe in muck and the mother smiles benignly, or the one where a filthy mud covered dog jumps all over the white furnishings, and the owner is not in the least bothered

That malteasers advert with the woman talking about her boyfriend cheating and how he'll have to live with his mum now or something.

Just another advert portraying men in a bad light, plus she's needlessly smug, doesn't seem at all upset and uses malteasers to explain it to him. I think he's better off without the crazy bint if you ask me

I'm thinking we should have a yorkie advert (the only chocolate men eat, apparently) with a guy flicking bits of yorkie around a café because he's kicking his girlfriend out for cheating.

Whenever you get upset by the portrayal of men in adverts it's worth remembering that advertising is one of the most male dominated industries out there.

True. I do make a habit of saying "ad men" quite often.

Love Honey "The sexual happiness people!"

Terrible ad with the "couple" (actors) discussing their sex life in the manner one would discuss choosing wallpaper. Ok, to be fair I don't know what would be a better way to market this sort of thing, but probably a bit of humour wouldn't have gone amiss. This ad makes me cringe...euucch, possibly 'cause it kinda makes you imagine that smug looking berk getting aroused - "Darling - I'm arriving!"

True. So I wonder if the hipsters creating these ads think they're being cool or smart by making women and children look smart, and men look thick? It's cringe-worthy to watch.

It's like the washing powder advert when the kids come in covered from head to toe in muck and the mother smiles benignly, or the one where a filthy mud covered dog jumps all over the white furnishings, and the owner is not in the least bothered
So annoying. I would be furious! Also, this reminds me of the ads for various cleaning products that whip through all the grime! Some of the people on those ads have disgusting filthy floors/worktops/toilets. My house never gets a QUARTER as grubby. Dirty gits!

I don't want to offend any Welsh people here, but is there any reason why a Royal London advert on cover for funeral costs is delivered by a Welshman? Nothing wrong with the Welsh accent per se, it just seems too perky and bright for this particular advert.
This puts me in mind of an ad on free radio in the midlands. There is a kitchen company based in the midlands, and the ad on the radio is voiced by a little Scottish girl! WTF? Would they have an ad for a company in Inverness voiced by someone from Wolverhampton? No. It's so ridiculous.

This might make me sound completely heartless, but the latest Cancer Research tripe is really starting to boil my pee.

I watch 4OD regularly and literally, at the beginning of every show and set of adverts throughout;

FFS Cancer Research! I'm assuming these adverts are an appeal for money? but how much money has it cost you to have this advert shown on every single advert slot for the last week (at least)???
It's really annoying. I am sick of ads that are on, on EVERY ad break, and the charity ones are the worst. I am happy to be corrected here, but I am sure that less than 20% of all the money collected does NOT got to the charity in question. With some of them it's even less. I think they depend on vulnerable and gullible older people to give. The ones for Africa drive me nuts too. So long and too frequent, and I am pretty sure that many people in Africa don't live like this, and it's just propaganda to make money!

Totally agree. Also, why on earth are they hanging the curtain rails with the curtains already attached? Makes the job heavier and much more awkward than hanging the curtains when the rails are in place.

Still, without the "son" at least there are only two annoying, moronic tw*ts in the ads now. A pile of "fist pump" ...
I have also noticed something else on this hideous ad; when he does the 'fist pump' she is looking the other way, so she wouldn't even SEE it! Daft.

Annoying too, because I like the 2 actors, and this ad is really putting me off them!

Quite. And only a halfwit (I love that word, by the way ) would believe there's anything remotely genuine about these "blogger" adverts. I refer you to the hideous Vanish "tip exchange" adverts and rest my case.
URGH! The Vanish Tip exchange! FFS, why is that even a thing? And does anyone actually visit it?!!!

Yet another new, mawkish "time-lapse" family ad, this time from IKEA. Can't bloody stand 'em!
I hate them with a passion. They were cool for the first one or two, but now they are awful. That weetabix one with the dad and son arm wrestling is another annoying one. It's been done before people. New ideas please..................

The stroppy kid, "MUMS THERES NO HOT WATER AGAIN!"

Well listen here you disrespectful shit, if you got off your ******* lazy ass and did something instead of sitting there and moaning.

Does your dad or me moan about the cold water?
Horrible ad. The boiler's packed up, so let's go to a payday loan company.

The Dacia car advert with the bloke singing

Hey im going to get you to, Another one drives the duster
Stupid ad, a good song ruined, and a VERRRRY stupid name for a car!

My top 5 most HATED ads...

The Andrex ad....... if you don't use Andrex, your bum will have shit left on it! I feel as clean as a squid. Annoying little c**t!

And the SCS ad with the silly gimme five cow on it. I want to smash her face in.

The ad where the girl spits her teeth out. GROSSSSS!!! Why is it always on at mealtimes?!

And the available car ad annoys me with the girl with the ridiculous teeth and the horrible voice, with the weirdest accent.

G-tech air ram. That ad needs to just die in a hole. Worst. ad. ever!!!

Lorraine Kelly with her fake giggly gurning as she dances on the spot..and giggles again. All to the tune of Teenage Dreams...God, I hate this planet sometimes.

Also anything that mentions 'fist pump'. Ad agencies are the devils's work.

Although I vaguely remember what one of those is, I hate anyone who has a sex life but none more so than those who have or ever had one worth talking about
Also, plenty of hate left over for generic smug couples with happy lives and everything (etc)...

... Some of the people on those ads have disgusting filthy floors/worktops/toilets. My house never gets a QUARTER as grubby. Dirty gits!
Having recently moved a load of stuff and found some completely untended bits where stuff accumulates (to be clear, no actual connection to my remark just above ) and even these were nowhere close to what is demonstrated and yet somehow take a damn sight more elbow-grease to clean.

Stupid ad, a good song ruined, and a VERRRRY stupid name for a car!
I think they have to keep repeating that because most people like me are thick and originally assumed it was pronounced "day-see-ah"...

Also, the mum telling his son that he'll have to smell that day. I'm guessing they've got a kettle and running water. Put some of the latter into the former and, once it's boiled, pour the water into a sink, and putting cold water in to cool it down. There you go - you can have a hot wash.

It's her tone of voice that's so condescending, like she's talking to a cat that's done a whoopsie on the carpet. He was probably driven to the other woman by her pushing him around all the time!

Teenage Kicks. And why does it always cut out half way through the: "I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight" bit?

"Jollifaustin" or whatever their stupid and pointless name is pisses me off more than Aviva's desperation to turn their app into an "event"

I blame James May from Top Gear for the 'day-see-ah' mispronouciation as for years Top Gear had the running joke during the Car News section where James would suddenly shout "Good News about the 'day-see-ah' Sandero".

Although in reality May claims he really does like this car if you judge it as a small, cheaper family run-a-round or city car.

Fat face Corden with his annoying '10-year olds' voice narrating the tedious Aviva challenge...who on Earth cares who wins a made-up competition written for a bunch of actors??
