Any women's football ad, why the attitude ?
And why is it rammed down our throats followed by screaming sexist hysterics if we say we like men's football but have no interest in women's football ?

Sporting ads in general can be added to that. Agree the womens’ sports ones seem particularly in your face, but why does every ad for a sporting even need to be accompanied by some god awful rap in a typical Ali G accent with the rapper desperate to sound hard. Plus I hate that accent almost as much as Scouse (laak instead of like as a particularly hateful example).

i guess it is trying to tackle (ho ho) the preconception that womens' football is in some way a different sport than mens', which I kind of get... i find them equally tedious. I don't like the idea that we should be told what we like and don't like based upon things like gender. If you don't like it you shouldn't have to justify it.

Sky News day time ads are almost all targeted at people waiting to die.
Quite depressing.

This one provokes my wife to want to smash the TV up, the one that features a succession of ahem, ‘larger’ ladies, in swimwear etc., I’m guessing that it’s some plus size fashions company, I honestly can’t recall.
My wife said, “If I was that size, that commercial would depress me, I wouldn’t think of rushing to buy their clothes, I’d think of signing up with Weight Watchers.”

I recently had 3 weeks off work after surgery. Luckily I'm under 50, so ineligible to sign up to the barrage of funeral plans (but have developed an unhealthy obsession with parsnips), or release some of the equity in my home.

I have, however, sponsored a donkey in a hot country I've never heard of...

Me too, I really don’t want to watch fatties twerking in swimsuits on adverts. There’s a couple of other ones in a similar vein too.

If that’s the case, I dated a whole slew of below average weight women before I walked into the Raymouth Arms, Bermondsey, one fateful night in the early eighties, and successfully hit on a below average weight, attractive redhead, who rapidly brought my serial dating to a halt.

I must stop fast forwarding through commercials.

The "Mr Aggressive" from Gladstone Brookes is back! Even more angry with people who have not claimed PPI. "What's wrong with you" he shouts. I didn't take out bloody PPI is the answer!!

Why am I meant to be obsessed with constantly checking my credit score?

I think I've done it once!

I've never ever done it. I've never been declined finance in 50 years of being a working adult. I'm a good boy, I am.

Presumably a person needs to check their score if they think they're so close to being declined .

Trivago girl has had an awful haircut.

She's still better looking than the curly haired knob bloke in their German ads.

well they don't really need to check it. What they do need to do is close accounts properly when they don't use them anymore, and move electoral roll registration when they move house. Oh... and pay fking bills on time!! That's probably 95% of it. Occasionally there are mistakes in info yes, but it's mostly stupid meat error.

So, they can try and sell you more stuff you neither want or need when you check it.

Have we had the "Peloton" advert yet?

"Julie in London I can see you, you are SMASHING IT"
"Well done Colin in Dulwich this is your 100th ride!"

Subscribes to the narcissist "filming myself while I do a preacher curl" Instagram brigade, annoys me.

That said, I'm not sure how you I would advertise such a thing (basically an online video game version of Strava) without playing into the needs of such a person.

Anyhoo it winds me up

The new Vauxhall Trade Up advert!

Just sold his supercar for £830k but it would have been £834k had he traded it in for a Vauxhall with their scrappage scheme!

Army radio ads seem to target the lower ends of society:
Hoodie chavs on bikes=working together(according to the army)
No hoper=we see something(anything?)
Dead end packing job=shows patience apparently
Maybe anyone with 2 braincells has realised that if you enlist you end up in a fly blown sandpit defending some American billionaires oil stocks, and if you come home in pieces then you will be ignored
