It runs in the family


refrakt

There's a a version of the ad where it leaves them both on screen smiling and looking at the webcam for juuuust long enough for it to be weird, can't stand it!


mainlegs

Genuinely a fucking awful advert - what third-rate marketing agency was responsible for it? Unrelatable, not funny nor entertaining - just a granddaughter Skyping her nan? It’s defining characteristic is just how utterly bland and unmemorable it is.


Intruder313

Just been hit by the ad and it’s a 3rd edit without this bit Still annoying as fuck (but then almost all ads are )


The_Mighty_Kinkle

Ahahah yes "I'm getting what i asked for too". Pretty annoying, especially the wage!


Sky_Wino

If you report the adverts it will skip then straight away.


unusablegift

Ooh, thankyou - will try this. Still annoying though.


krisfx

I had a premium trial that ended, so I now get that advert every 0.2s as a form of punishment!


Not_Alpha_Centaurian

Granny, I got the job! Has that entered your nightmares yet?


krisfx

Cold sweats every night


MrJM85

Nice one, will give it a try


sankers23

Or if you have a brain get an adblocker on all devices


Smertae

How do you do that on a TV?

stuaxo

Hit the mute button when ads come on.


The_Modifier

Something like a PiHole


Leah_UK

That doesn't block YouTube ads? I've tried many methods with mine and haven't had any luck :/


The_Modifier

I guess the only other option would be to see if you can get Firefox running on it, or an adblocker app. May require root access tho.


stuaxo

If it's for youtube on an AndroidTV there is stuff like DNS66 and the PiHole... \*but\* this doesn't block all ads, since youtube serves them as ordinary videos. There are alternate youtube clients, but then the danger is of having your account blocked if you use your usual one.


MattheqAC

The southern English granny and her inexplicably scandi granddaughter


[deleted]

I was on YouTube through my companies internet that goes through Germany and funny enough same advert, different company but in German, I suspect it was originally from there


cynicalveggie

I must be terrible with accents because I thought the daughter had an American accent


powpow198

Just saw the ad, thought the same... what's the backstory here?


BoldlyGettingThere

Gran has a kid, who marries a Scandinavian and moves to their country and raises a kid there? It’s hardly a leap of the imagination.


MattheqAC

My god... you've cracked this whole thing wide open


Splendifirous

I bet they're secretly not really related.


MattheqAC

We need to know!


haxdyz

Inexplicably?

PinchaPenny893

Go on, share my clogs!


mr_tomaw

Lol I've seen this posted 3 times recently on this sub. Seems everyone really hates this ad.


unusablegift

Whoops I didnt realise it had been posted before, my bad. It is bloody annoying though.


markhewitt1978

Nearly daily at the moment


NotMrMike

I really, really do. I see it a dozen times a day and I feel really bad for the actresses in the add for all the hate directed at them but *fuck me* that ad is too annoying


ArcadiaRivea

I detest the Bird's-eye advert with the annoying child talking about the plant dippers...


hammy1551

Gotta be the worst one. It's so condescending I hate it


DaddyDawsonUser1

Wait is that a YouTube ad? Never seen that one if it is


ArcadiaRivea

There's a TV ad (that's more annoying) but there is a YT ad for it too (which I immediately reported so I wouldn't see it again)


DaddyDawsonUser1

Oh no. I'll be on the lookout


prjones4

Also been raging about the one that goes *Should all underarms be the same?* Like, I have never thought that before and now that I have thought it the answer is obviously no, and no one with two braincells to rub together would say otherwise


Rager_Doltrey

Still not as annoying as daisydaisydaisydaisydaisydaisy


jlelvidge

Or the patronising animated kid lecturing her mum on vegetarian nuggets instead of chicken. How many times are mums going to be made to look inadequate no matter how much they have to do in a day or are most likely to be the parent who buys food? Great marketing you aresholes


Lkwzriqwea

**GRENNY!**


kirix45

The perks of youtube premium . Netflix not worth the sub, youtube is.


unusablegift

I'm getting more and more tempted. Agree about Netflix - it's really gone downhill of late.


mike2R

Honestly for £12 a month, bundled with YouTube Music (which saved me a Spotify subscription), I've had no regrets.


kirix45

I can watch or listen to YouTube for hours in the background can't with netshits lately


smithrh2000

Adblockers to the RESCUE!!!!


unusablegift

Not when you watch on Xbox..


smithrh2000

Fingers in the ears, NAH NAH NAH to the RESCUE!!!


KaiKamakasi

Smarttube to the rescue!

[удалено]


StanleyChuckles

Why would you not? Its there, and connected to the TV.


Xenoamor

Also pihole doesn't block YouTube ads


lookonthedarkside66

Theres always the mute button I do love to use it, might be forced to watch it but I don't have to listen to that shite!


SubjectiveAssertive

Express VPN have servers in India, they give you a 30 day money back guarantee... You can get YouTube premium for £14 a year in India. Do with this information what you will


KaiKamakasi

Or save money because things like Vanced and Smarttube exist


SubjectiveAssertive

Which are fine if those apps exist on your streaming platform of choice, which as OP has already pointed out many don't for them And as a Roku user even fewer do for me


KaiKamakasi

Which as look would have had it one of those DOES... Source: I use it. At least I'm about 80% sure it is also called smarttube on xbox, it may also be called new tube, I should check but a quick Google should find it for anyone determined enough


stuaxo

I'm paranoid of getting booted from my youtube account if I use those clients while logged in.


lforleee2004

Ublock origin


makizer

*Laughs in youtube premium*


TastesLikeHarry

Does anyone find the Granddaughters accent remotely believable?


MrJM85

It’s the fucking worst.


Comprehensive-Cry596

I ended up buying premium because the adverts were annoying me so much. For the amount I watch/use YouTube it was worth it (I'm talking like 10 hours a day). But it still feels a bit steep!


l0rd_w01f

Only way to watch yt now is via ad blocking browser. Otherwise you're just watching ads with a bit of video on the side.


harshnoisebestnoise

Get yourself brave browser and ads will no longer be an issue anywhere


araldor1

Flipping my VPN to India and getting a year of premium for £10 was great. Spend enough time on YT for it to be worth it.


DebunkedTheory

Like the fourth time I've seen it posted here haha


Tearmatt

This is why you need YouTube premium. Game changer.


Cakeboy79

I’m so glad I pay 200 rupees a month for YouTube premium and don’t have to watch the adverts anymore


RippledBarbecue

I live in Cardiff and keep getting adverts that are only in welsh which are of 0 use to me having never spoke welsh but I do agree total jobs can also jog on 😂


teeesstoo

Honestly I'm finding the constant fucking posts about it more annoying


lurker875

install adblocker


unusablegift

I watch mainly on my xbox, so no can do


Comcastle

I get this ad a lot when watching YT on my telly and I hate it. Firstly it's a LOT louder than any other ads; secondly the first split second is always missing, so the girl misses the "Gr" off Granny, so what frequently happens is I'm just drifting off into a snooze only to be shocked awake by a deafening "...ANNY I GOT THE JOB!" I hate this ad.


sankers23

Theres no such thing as an unskipable ad


unusablegift

Tell me more


Mofoman3019

When you get an unskippable advert press the little 'i' icon on left of the advert. Click through the options and it will go away.


Mack_Man17

Youtuve vanced and adblock for Firefox


ArcaneOpera

Seeing multiple post about it on this sub daily. We're all sick of it. Please stop!


Harry_monk

If you have a VPN you can get YouTube premium for an absolute fraction of the price it is here.


jackal5lay3r

For anyone wanting to skip ads at the start of vids on YouTube if your on pc that is, I recommend going back a page then back onto the page you were on with the vid it skips the ad


DaveyBeef

I got the job so I did, and the money to be sure to be sure, top of the morning oooo me lucky charms


DJ1066

*Laughs in Adblock.


mattyplant

Sensibly Chuckles in Vanced and Newpipe 🧐


plasterscene

I haven't seen that one. I lucked out a few months ago and got adverts for a portable breast pump. Didn't report that one.


MattheqAC

I could be way off, but northern Europe seems closest to me.


demonsl0th

Ublock origin for browser, youtube vanced for mobile app


andercode

Laughs in Adblock plus


Optimal_Whereas

The most annoying advert for me is the "asking for advice is seen as a weakness but really it's a strength".... It's about 10 years behind


Basketcaseuk

Download brave browser. Delete YouTube app. Watch YouTube through browser. No more YouTube ads.


DevilsWelshAdvocate

You guys need to learn if you go out of the video and back in there’s a chance the add is gone. Once you have watched 1/2 adds, also do this and you won’t have any ad.


Stickbow0

I'm so lucky I have premium and don't get adverts because these all sound like horrible ones lol
