All the perfume/aftershave ads. Who buys into this pretentous crap anyway.

The Diesel Bad advert cracks me up with the 'bad boy' who can barely grow facial hair!

I cant stand the Ikea advert with the mother crying because she has seen a load of lights in her garden

How did her son afford all of those lights in the first place

And why would you buy those lights in the first place

Helen bleedin' Mirren

Intention: Anti-drink/driving
What's it selling? Beer



Added to which, she looks like one of those horrid aunts you might have had when you were six, leering down at you with nostrils flaring, you just want to slap her with a wet fish.
I'm not sure I understand the ad either. It's two things that shouldn't go together Is it supposed to be a spoof or making a point?

There are so many to choose from but I've just been reminded of one of my favourite annoyances: Those ads where 'The Number One Album' by someone you've never heard of is being promoted, 'featuring the number one single' - again, doesn't sound familiar at all - and then, at the end, the stupid voice over girl finishes with 'Out Now!'.

Well I should ruddy well think it is out now, especially as you've just said it's got to number one in the album charts .. I mean, these things can take weeks!

I'm talking about the IKEA ad where a woman is walking home to a very annoying soundtrack, and along her route there are lights of all descriptions illuminating her path. She arrives home and one of the children comes up to greet her with a hug and she appears to be pretty much close to tears.

Anyone here got any idea what the story is supposed to be, or do we need to be Swedish to understand it?

What about those Now adverts featuring the best singles of the year. They are not even that good. And now they have Now Disney with all your favourite songs

It is absolute rubbish but my first thoughts were... are they all battery operated or has he left extension cables trailing all over the street?!

No idea, it just struck me as daft getting the point across about not drink-driving then you find out it's sponsored by Budweiser.

Why oh why do we have to suffer that dreadful "poetry" in so many adverts at the moment?

It makes me cringe and I could cheerfully slap the awful readers.

The 70's one is even worse. We are led to believe that the 70's existed without Mud, Sweet or Slade.

The Facebook live advert

Not because it's particularly annoying (in fact the people in it are actually broadcasting things worth putting live ) but sadly it will encourage idiots who think it's cool broadcasting live when they unwrap a DVD or some rubbish
So many times I have to click "Hide all live notifications from this person" since you can't switch them off completely. There's only been a mere handful of people whose videos I've watched. I tried it twice. I'd switch off notifications about mine if I was someone else

There are so many to choose from but I've just been reminded of one of my favourite annoyances: Those ads where 'The Number One Album' by someone you've never heard of is being promoted, 'featuring the number one single' - again, doesn't sound familiar at all - and then, at the end, the stupid voice over girl finishes with 'Out Now!'.

Bradley Walsh, Michael Buble's Christmas Album, Katie Melua's winter album... how many times will you play them after Xmas Day? None.

Why oh why do we have to suffer that dreadful "poetry" in so many adverts at the moment?

It makes me cringe and I could cheerfully slap the awful readers.
(cue Jim Broadbent)

Ah, those adverts full of prose,
How I like to switch off those!

If you want pretentious watch the sauvage Dior advert with johnny depp, it makes no sense at all.

Hate that Cravendale milk ad..... with the milk obsessed bloke.
Also the EDF ad with a stupid character called Zingy and an even more stupid woman that says 'Where do i sign'

I hate everything about that ad., especially the 'song'. I thought it was a woman coming home after a hard night selling crack cocaine or something, she certainly looks like she uses it anyway. I've since been put right that's she been doing a nursing night shift. Anyway, what kid manages to buy, and hook up, all those lamps?

I hate all the perfume, aftershave ads. The women all look like they're trying to sell sex or drugs, and as for Johnny Depp (or David Beckham), don't get me started!

The BBC at it's diversity, inclusivity obsessed worst, and it looks and feels like a department store Christmas ad. Terrible!

If she is a nurse, she's probably crying because she's just worked an exhausting night shift, comes home and finds her kid has spent half what she's earned on lights.
