Anoying adverts on TV

What is it with certain adverts on the TV that when they come on....."Not that bl**dy ad again!" and you flick over the channel.

 

The ones I hate are the two Vauxhall ads for the corsa and astra.

What's all the "C'MOM" about... is it slang for common, or are only muppets meant to buy them? It says nothing about the car.

Astra "Put the fun back into driving" more like soil your pants with handling that bad!

 

 

Whats your most hated ads?

sheila's wheels, hate that more than any.

 

elephant, damn elephant

 

all personal injury adverts, apart form the guy who gets crushed by the fork-lift, everyone else is just incompetent at work. funniest one atm, is the woman carrying the box of china, slips on some plastic strapping. maybe she should have been looking at the floor, and not wearing heels. she is incompetent, not an accident.

 

there are many more as well.

Has anyone noticed that Stepen Fry never drinks the tea in the adverts he does? I think it's Twinings :) It used to really make me laugh.

 

although saying that my girlfriend noticed yesterday that he does actually take a sip on the new advert. Previously they always cut before he actually drank any...

 

My pet hate at the moment is the Stephen Segal Orange Ad at the cinema.... drives me nuts....

I hate any advert that plays on paranoia and or the throwaway culture.... like the Vick's first defense hand cream :conf: Or the disinfectant one with the green monster that's supposed to be a germ that's going to make us all puke.

 

But.... I'd rather sit through hours of consecutive tv adverts then five minutes of radio ads.... omg why do people put up with them. Stupid, annoying, degrading, patronising piles of bilge.

I'm not even allowed to fast forward through Shiela's wheels ads if we're watching something we recorded. My g/f frequently says english adverts are fantastic - if there was a channel that was just english TV Ads I think she would happily watch it all evening.

I hate these..

Vauxhalls 'Come On' advert. WTF ?

 

Saabs 'aircraft designers make it stick to the road' advert. Implying all other cars take off given the slightest chance.

 

Jaguars 'gorgeous' advert. Vomit inducing.

 

All kacker orientated adverts on SKY.

I can't remember what channel it's on or what TV progs it sponsors but there is an ad on one of the SKY / Freeview channels for a sat nav firm that "sponsor motoring on "

 

It has some music "And I will follow you.... wherever you go" and then a pic of some crap looking nav thing.

 

That annoys me, especially as it's on at the start and end of every ad break.

With that description, it's like I'm there in the advert itself. What clarity ;)
