    Tv adverts you find annoying or dislike

    I got a massive dislike for the domino pizza one where the couple sitting in the bath and the pizza guy appears .. awful advert 😡.

    Yeah the Domino's adverts with that Domino-oh-ooh line they do at the end are particularly annoying.

    I really really hate that Barclaycard advert that has that headset wearing idiot singing Toto Africa at his wedding. Ends with him rocking his head as it reveals he bought an ice sculpture. Dreadful

    it’s terrible, especially the one, the lady running for the train
    Annoying I seem to sing along too, so it’s probably worked

    All of them, can't stand adverts in any guise. I actively avoid commercial TV because I can't do the adverts anymore.

    I tend to record programmes with adverts on TiVo and watch BBC programmes in real time, saves having to sit through 3 or 4 mins of bollox every 15 minutes.

    Ditto. Its just the law in our house; if we’re watching commercial tv, the mute button gets hit as soon as they come on. In fact, watching them silently makes them seem more manipulative.

    Likewise.

    Amazon as well, now that they've started showing adverts I avoid it where I can.

    Thank **** I'm not in America, when American shows are on you can always tell where an advert break should have been and it's incessant.

    Never really see them that much nowadays.

    Haribos still seem to churn out the same awful ones for years.

    These ads on STV for competitions do my head in. Encouraging folk on low incomes to get into even more debt.

    Anything with that Go Compare twat.

    I was speaking to a guy who works in advertising and he says the presenters are told to drop a few "t"s to make the ads more working class friendly. Pitiful.

    Andrex toilet roll adverts, more so the one with the lad in school, Domino advert should be banned.

    I’m getting old that I moan about things like this.

    There’s so many fashion ads just now with young women with dour sulky miserable looking faces. Smile FFS.

    I agree, although I do find the confused.com advert amusing when the brides father starts whistling that complicated tune.

    I hardly ever watch live TV unless it's sport so I'm not as plagued by them as some.

    There's one that's hilarious, one of the actors is about 35 with his hair and beard dyed grey

    So so bad.

    The Revitive advert starring Ian Botham. It’s enough to not ever want to use

    Tesco 'whoosh' adverts.

    Especially the one with the annoying wee prick on the exercise bike.

    Any advert for Magnums. I have misophonia and most earring noises trigger me, but that unnaturally loud bite into the chocolate sends me flying for the remote to mute it before I hear it.

    The current KFC ad is just plain creepy.

    Makes me want to stay as far away as possible from a KFC outlet.

    Not a current one but that Aberdein Considine ad from years ago was horrific. That guys voice went right through me.

    That is the cringiest thing you'll see. Although Botham did buy me a pint in a Bath nightclub in 1981 because I was Scottish and I liked cricket.

    Too many to remember but any banking advert especially the Nationwide one and Santander with Ant & Dec.

    Any bookies that say they care about you taking breaks from gambling. Aye sure you do!

    The on the beach advert with the Christmas song and the annoying son.
