I know it's been covered but the voiceover on the "voydaphoyne" ads.

I would pay good money to have her vocal chords surgically removed. A truly awful voice.
Her voice seems to be getting worse. Wonder what she looks like? smile
'Annoying' would be my guess.

More mystified than enraged, the Kipling ad where the boy is at a party and brings back a wee cake for his sister.

Why was she not at the party ?
Whose party was it ?
Why is she so angry ?


It's a David Lynch film in 45 seconds.

there are some weirdos out there that would pay a premium potentially.
I wonder if Vinted has a knock on effect for charity shops who we usually take good quality clothing top to flog for a few quid - now this app cuts out the middleperson......
or more likely some snooty old bag looks at you like you're a total nuisance and starts barking requirements and conditions at you when you turn up innocently smiling and clutching a load of clothes to donate. I'd sooner sell it all on eBay (or wherever) and put the worthless stuff in a clothes recycling hopper for eastern europeans to steal than i would deal with the people who work in charity shops.

Guess where criminals do their "unpaid work requirement".

Those qualities probably do apply to her normal voice but unfortunately in the Vauxafone ads she’s attempting a sassy promo voice which is annoying.

The Wayfair ad is annoying me, just because of the small print. "Rugs from £40" in big letters, and "Actual rug shown £479.99" in much smaller ones that don't show up very well against the background image. And the same for all the stuff in the ad, to a varying degree.

And the way that they seem to only have six ads on Film1 when you're sitting through a film, so in the many ad breaks in "Red Sparrow" last night I've gone from quite liking the Unicorn advert to utterly despising it.

I am more irritated by the guy with his phone, and the girl at the end... WTF are they dancing for?
See also, any ad where food/drink product is consumed, prompting a dance routine.

We all know that the second she was snotty, he'd have shrugged and eaten the cake himself too.
I suppose it's to show how thoughtful we can all be.
When I say we, I mean you.
I'd have eaten the cake.

The micellar water advert where they like to pronounce it "miszla".

I can only find one place that suggests such pronunciation so I'm not saying it's wrong, merely pretentious.

Has the new Suzuki Swift advert had a mention?

The premise is a guy doesn't know how to buy a car so his friend has to explain and give him various tips then he is seen walking into a dealership and saying yes to the first offerrolleyes

Anybody had to endure that one for the ibuprofen gel with the massively condescending woman on it

She can go and "deep relief" herself
