Adverts that get on your nerves

[Gullflyinghigh]

The 'If you haven't got an iPhone, you haven't got an iPhone' adverts do my head in, I mean, it's a bloody phone not a lifestyle.

 

[Franks Wild Years]

All TV commercials. End of.

I started off in advertising when I left the RN ...was told that people do not like adverts that leap out at you screaming....take note you annoying little poisonous bald headed long haired green leathered dwarf...I don't want your Safestyle windows,I don't want to buy one get one free,I don't want your free fitting,I don't trust you and I'm certainly not phoning 08..............the only time I would get close to your windows is too put your ugly face through it!!!! Aah! That feels better........

All of them. I always switch over to another channel whenever ads come on - and with my memory sometimes forget to go back, or indeed what I was watching in the first place.

Having had to put up with American TV adverts for the last 3 years I really miss the UK ones which I thought were generally witty and treated you like an adult. The ads here try to be funny, but with a few exceptions fail abysmally, and treat all viewers as being virtually brain dead. They are saturated with adverts for crappy beers like Bud, Coors and MGD - and erectile dysfunction, which is probably caused by buying the crappy beers………

Anything that starts with the question "have you had an accident"?

I find it painful to watch TV in the US, there are so many long ad breaks it doesn't leave much room for actual programmes. They seem to sell pills for pretty much every health issue and do so in a horribly patronising way. I often find myself wanting to throw heavy objects at the TV.

Talksport (I know!) play so many adverts so often and on such heavy rotation it does your nut. Sad as it is, I always switch over when their adverts come on, hoping others acoss the nation are doing the same and that someone in Talkshit HQ can see the red viewing bar dipping significantly when another "We buy any car" jingle comes on. Wankers the lot of them! Wankers! In related news, my grey haired old mum does the same with the TV - any time the adverts come on she switches over to make her protest known to ITV/Channel 4 - talk about like mother like son NSC!

Some good ones there then, pleased its not just me that gets wound up with some of these bloody things!!!

The injury and PPI ones, I agree are shite, especially that one with Andrew Castle, he bumps into someone and says sorry, well sometimes sorry isnt enough. Its rubbish!!!



ALSO, that one injury laywers for you, where that bloke comes on and says "we are real lawyers for you" or something, NO YOUR NOT MATE, you were in the Bill and Eastenders.

The only way to survive is to shell out for cable and get some decent channels like HBO and Showtime which don’t have commercials. Agree about the patronising tone – the only thing worse is to see some smug American family flashing a goofy smile because they have just bought some pile of junk which makes their life complete.

Off topic a bit...

This is my favourite ad that never made it to air, I think it's rather funny....

Anything to do with car insurance. The amount of times I have to watch them during ad breaks is vastly disproportionate to their importance in my life.

 

[seagull1981]

The OptiMax one about laser eye surgery thats always on Dave and ITV2 fail brilliantly, the woman at the end says
"It's like my whole world is now in HD" cuts to narrator then "I'm not lying I'm being truthful!" then puts both sides of her hair behind her ears.......

Know why that's stupid? ITS A CLASSIC SIGN OF LYING!!!!
