What TV adverts really annoy you ?

[Sabre]

The shake and vac ad has become a classic. It was designed that way to stand out amongst a group of very good adverts that were mostly very clever.

However, when you flush the bog you get spray from that flush. Close the f#*+@# lid. That's what it's there for!

Don't get me started on the fat bloke singing, meerkats or friggin bingo.

I think the problem is the public have become too stupid so the ads are dumbed down to LCD.

As a proponent of ‘buy less sh&t’ I don’t watch TV with commercial ad’s.

If your a business why would you advertise on your channel the competitions great deals and programs if its going to make your viewers go elsewhere ? ITV adverts for SKY etc. Making money but putting you out of business !

 

[La Dodgy Vita]

Advertisers - and the companies that employ them - will jump on any bandwagon that's fashionable at the time in order to make money.
If for some reason sexism / racism etc were the "in" thing, they would be on those bandwagons. Think back to the adverts of the 60s and 70s

 

[Sabre]

Gotta say though, have you seen the new Twix advert? That's quite good. Even if the bears are unconvincing.

 

[Sabre]

The Cinch adverts for on-line cars. Does that bloke really look like that or is he made of plastic?

The umpalumpa thing. Wish he'd f right off. Another channel switch ad.

And that fat bloke with daft tache is who taught me to recognise the first sound of an ad. A la, 'I'll name that tune in one Bob'!
Still turn over when that comes on.

 

[Lightrofit]

Literally all of them.

And the fat family getting into the lounge at the airport is also why I don't miss business travel... the lounge used to be a place where I could get some work done. Now it's full of fat chavs stuffing their faces and feeding their little fat brats...
That gets turned over too.

did I type that out loud?

I'll get me coat...

We commented on that too. Normalising, nay “glorifying” obesity

 

[Johnboy57]

when I was much younger, I had my own personal mission to only buy stuff from adverts I liked......... so after many years of sticking to these principles I would, by force of simple economics, engender a change towards better adverts........ the change would be very slow, but eventually the adverts would change to suit my taste......... etc. etc.

It didn't work....

 

[Teesix]

I miss the Hamlet adverts.

 

[huw169]

All of them. They come on way too loud relative to whatever program I’m watching. Very annoying.

 

[DXX]

I miss the Hamlet adverts.

Wasn’t that aimed a people who’d just skinned up a massive 5 skin?

Like a Camberwell Carrot sort of thing?

Hah, Elon Musk thinks he’s just created the worlds most powerful rocket, if only he knew the truth.

 

[Magpie1832]

On the beach advert is now irritating. I thought christmas songs were for Christmas.

 

[Cuffy]

In no particular order:

• Go Compare - Go F*** yourself more like.
• Anything with Meerkats or his dopey f*****g Australian cousin.
• That sanctimonious infuriating bint from the Omaze averts.
• Vagisil - For when you chuff is drier than the Sahara desert.
• Canistan - If only that worked on Piers Morgan as I find him an irritating c**t.

And breathe!

 

[Sabre]

I think we need to have this conversation around a fire after a big feed and a skinful of your fave brew.
But I totally agree with @Cuffy on all counts.

Woke culture is now prevalent in a lot of TV ads showing families. Invariably the parents are from different ethnic backgrounds.
The one that is galling is the middle aged white bloke and younger female of colour which some cruise company try to portray as a loving couple celebrating an anniversary. No chemistry between them and she looks uncomfortable at his over acting !!
