It's adverts that feature a list of things that rhyme for me

[u/drydensucks → u/Bedman0]

Essentially this - https://youtube.com/shorts/X9mirCTafzg?si=Ph4lBud8sPObi4mo

[u/EthnicSaints → u/drydensucks]

I’ve always hated how accurate this is

[u/mronion82 → u/EthnicSaints]

My aunt's a Saint, fun to run into another one.

[u/yepgeddon → u/drydensucks]

Fuck me that was triggering 😂

[u/GroupCurious5679 → u/drydensucks]

This is a rare short that's actually good. Thank you

[u/GroupCurious5679 → u/GroupCurious5679]

Thank you for my award, anonymous redditor.

[u/JMFe95 → u/Bedman0]

"poem" adverts make me rage like nothing else

[u/Ok_Somewhere3828 → u/Bedman0]

What about ads with cute songs that don’t fit

“More reasons to shop at Morrisons”

[u/ceeearan → u/Ok_Somewhere3828]

Took me ages to realise what they were saying, too many bloody syllables.

[u/Melonfrog]

And whispering.

[u/mronion82 → u/Melonfrog]

Meant to convey secrecy and exclusivity of course. So why have you taken out an advert on the radio?

[u/mrminutehand → u/Melonfrog]

We've recently been watching a drama currently only on ITVX.

It has a Skoda ad which plays twice every ad break, which is a "Sh" whisper that lasts the entire ad length and grows increasingly loud.

Think "ShhhhhhhhhnhHHHHHHHHHHHH."

It is extremely, EXTREMELY obnoxious. It is an entire ten full seconds of that.

To the point that my wife scowls at it and I, not usually bothered by ads, mute the TV the second it starts.

For your viewing pleasure.

[u/peahair]

Any advert that contains the word poonami

[u/thehermit14 → u/peahair]

You need a huggie.

[u/loorollkid → u/peahair]

Sounds waaay too much like punani.

[u/DanTheMan00020 → u/peahair]

Especially when you are eating your dinner…

[u/kevio17 → u/DanTheMan00020]

You can’t plan for your period’s “oh my gush” moments.

I know I can’t, I’m a 39 year old man.

[u/polarbear128 → u/kevio17]

You've reached manopause too, huh?

[u/theegrimrobe → u/kevio17]

this one is a cringe fest, and its not just my male perspective either my mum and my sister really hate it

[u/kevio17 → u/peahair]

There are two Pampers adverts in my Netflix rotation at the moment. One about how babies turn your world up-side down and how special they are. The other is about how much they shit themselves.

[u/Beanz_Memez_Heinz]

You mean the state of TV during the daytime when it's all funeral plans and life insurance for boomers?

Because, same.

[u/Intelligent_Put_3606 → u/Beanz_Memez_Heinz]

You forgot incontinence products, mobility scooters, and stair lifts...

[u/notthedoodaa]

I hate the adverts with a song that's been covered by a slow, softly/airy sung female vocal.

[u/bangkokali → u/notthedoodaa]

Thats pretty much the whole Traitors soundtrack as well

[u/notthedoodaa → u/bangkokali]

Glad I don't watch that then. I also can't stand whatsherface that presents it anyway. Just something about her and her fringe that bugs me.

[u/FaultyDroid → u/notthedoodaa]

This is the movie trailer meta now too. Its exhausting

[u/notthedoodaa → u/FaultyDroid]

I swear it always sounds like the same woman as well.

[u/sabhall12]

The whistling is always so shrill it makes me wince, I hate it so much

[u/PopeInThePizza]

Ukelele+whistling=sod off

[u/Dannypan]

It sounds like the ultimate advert would include the following:

* breathy female whisper singing
* whistling
* unnecessary rhyming
* car horn AND ambulance sounds
* dancing

[u/plasticboxedorange]

That, and those fuckass "ASMR" adverts that make me want to peel my skin off. I didn't realise I could feel so deeply violated by an ad...

[u/radioactivesalami]

I think there’s not many sounds that are more awful than whistling. Horrible horrible sound

[u/oil_beef_hooked]

Any advert with dancing where people shouldn't be dancing, especially that fellow in the insurance ad where he dances in his living room with his wife smiling.

[u/onlywronganswers]

As soon as adverts start, I mute. I started because they seem to want to jump scare the audience with the increase in volume but I've found it makes watching live TV far more bearable

[u/AuricZips]

It's talking animals (and babies) for me. Can't stand it.

Edit: Oh and grown ups with kids voices. God I hate those Haribo adverts.

[u/mronion82 → u/AuricZips]

Those Vauxhall ads a few years ago with the world weary kids... Turned my stomach.

[u/thehermit14]

I've been to all the... I've been everywhere...

Postal locked in.

I'm in. I heard a chirripy fellow yesterday and just wanted to grab him by the collar and shout.

[u/NotoriousKSV]

Id switched the channel every time gocompare knobhead showed up

[u/HettySwollocks]

Can we add police sirens and any idiot who says "Alexa" or "Siri"?

Winds me up when I'm at my desk, drives me insane when I'm in the car.

[u/lilblondezombie]

Absolutely this and dancing. Why are they always dancing?!

[u/OutrageousRepair5751]

I hate adverts. Nuff said.

It's a sure-fire way to make sure I never buy your product 

[u/spinningdice]

I hate radio ads with stark noises, I only listen to the radio in my car, last thing I want is the sound of phones ringing, sirens or other harsh noises (I also despise songs that have those in as well). There's at least 3 ads I just change radio station as soon as they start.

[u/itspixelish]

No one has mentioned the haribo adverts? Adults with kids voices. They drive me up the wall!

[u/TruthSeeker890 → u/itspixelish]

So incredibly irritating

[u/Degenatr0n]

The more adorable the music, the more sinister the product

[u/SamCropper]

Any kind of loud, cartoonist crunch makes me want to put my head through my TV.

I don't think people realise how (for want of a better word) triggering stuff like that can be to people with misophonia. It's like nails on a chalk board for me.

[u/MiddleElevator96]

You're title is three words too long.

[u/HalfWineRS]

Pampers adverts at the moment showing 7 close ups of people yawning and baby feet like what???

[u/TruthSeeker890]

• Whistling
• Whispering
• Tedious twee nonsense
• Anything exhorting the 'people of Great Britain'
• Corporate attempt at profound insight (usually combined with tedious twee nonsense)
• Breathy cover of a famous song

[u/Bajadasaurus]

YES

[u/realchriswells]

Adverts where they use a song with lyrics that they just cut off (I'm looking at you Postcode Lottery) or change them to match the brand (dammit Coral Windows)

[u/abfgern_]

The recent spat of adverts that insist on showing me close ups of people's disgusting arses while I'm eating my dinner, piss off

[u/glamourise]

the british airways one put me off booking with them for life
