The Galaxy ad - I never want to hear that awful Moon River song ever again. Another irritation is the edit/cut of the song is very abrupt - shoudn't it cut at the end of the sentence.
Probably gonna get lynched for saying this but I really don't think Audrey Hepburn is or was all that.

Haven't seen the new Costa Coffee ad, but surely it can't be worse that this monstrosity from 2012:-

I see that horrendous car ad has returned.
The one where someone breathes too heavily on part of the car so the woman owner does something spiteful to the person - usually her husband/boyfriend/friend. I only caught the end of the one I saw, it was something that had the friend end up with an orange face (tanning machine?) I don't think I'll ever forget the one where the woman's boyfriend/husband shut the door with his foot cos his hands were full so she smashed his remote controlled air-plane. They make me cringe. I love this thread because I very rarely see an ad (I always record programmes on ITV or the like so I fast forward through all ads) so 99% of the ads people complain about I've never seen! |

The wooden woman on the Evodental advert who wasn't mentally ready to wear dentures but would spend £18,000 on getting metal rivets drilled into her jaws.

There's also another malteaser add with yet another seemingly disabled person discussing performing what appears to be a sexual act on a guy and how having a fit made it comedic.
Her name is Storme Toolis and she has cerebral palsy. You can see her in New Tricks. |

As a Channel 4 viewer in the afternoons (Countdown, etc.) I'm getting really tired of seeing that annoying woman with her bladder problem.
She uses specially absorbent pads inside her underwear so that nobody will know if she's leaked, whereas she should really go to her doctor for a referral to a urologist to investigate the issue! |

Is anybody else getting irritated by the increasing number of adverts for bingo sites pandering to the gullible.
Can't pick out any ad in particular, they are just all irritating "when the fun stops, stop" |

Ah yes, just scrolled up and saw your post, I wonder who thought it would be a good idea? worst d I have seen for quite a while, it highlights everything that is wrong in modern society, the opposite to those warm family oxo adverts of the 70s and 80s.
The Persil ad. with the smug looking little break dancer. At the end she says 'Always keep away from children'. Honestly, I always try to keep away from children, but it can't always be done. |

On similar to the one below, any ad where you can buy things on finance that crams in a zillion T&Cs at the end, all recorded separately and stuck together, so they really jar. Similar with holiday ads like the Rob Brydon one where he's rambling, then it adds "This is the life" and then "ATOL-protected". Quote:

I always think they have made up this twee phrase 'sensitive bladder' and acting like its normal to p!ss yourself when you laugh. It isn't. You need to see a doctor! ![]() Is the NHS aware of this and are they condoning it? |

You need to see a doctor! ![]() Is the NHS aware of this and are they condoning it? Another example of the ad men taking something that previously wasn't an issue and making it one is the idea of Body Odour or B.O, in relation to normal washing people, obviously not smelly homeless tramps or people like Howard Hughes. The term was invented by American ad men at the end of the 19th Century, whilst the shorthand of 'B.O' was created in 1919 for a product called Odo-Ro-No. Both were invented and advertised from around the 1920's through to the late 1960's, usually in this form:- There is a reason why you are unpopular and didn't get a date/that job/that promotion/invited to lunch. That's because you have body odour/B.O. Therefore in less that 50 years ad men created something which has became sacrosanct in the western world. Back to the Tena Lady p*shpads. The NHS won't publically support this kind of product, but I'm sure upper level managers and trust/board members (those in charge of the funds) are happy with this, as it will stop women with mild bladder issues coming into the NHS system and thus the trust can save money via needing fewer Urologists, therefore can run a smaller Urology department with less nurses and receptionists/admin employed, and of course far fewer operations are performed. This is probably the same reason why no-one has ever tried to regulate (ie shut-down) the quack 'Alternative Medicine' market. At least we don't see TV ads for these scientifically unproven 'medicines' and devices. |

This must have been mentioned already - the Shpock! ad with the voice over provided (seemingly) by a 13 year old girl who's been force-fed six cans of Red Bull and a few litres of helium. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

Of course it was made up by marketing men.
Who else is old enough to remember "night starvation", and the product that prevented it? |

Morrison ads - obviously trying to rip off the M+S ones with a woman with the most annoyingly sickly voice. To say nothing of the food. As there is no Morrisons for 15-20 miles around here, they're even more annoying.

Colgate Sensitive toothpaste. What use is the weird looking bloke on the right? Merely justifies his presence by trying to bite the woman at the end. WTF?

If not irresponsible, just how much fun can it be to lose your housekeeping money playing bingo?
