What is something you will never use/see/own because of their adverts?

Some brands or shows just have the most annoying, repetitive adverts and it just puts you off using or watching them.

For me it's Norton Antivirus software and the Apple adverts with the kid karate chopping wood or the guy with the fish. They drive me potty!

DH says Impractical Jokers. The ads were on so much that he has vowed to never watch the show.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has this?

Yorkie's because they're "not for girls."

Ok, fuck off and I'll spend my money on other chocolate then.

Vitriolinsanity · 07/03/2024 20:07

Go Compare
Snag tights
Ann Summers
Nike

Loathe their advertising/marketing.

I will Never ever ever book a holiday with On the Beach, Paddy McGuiness and that family give me the biggest ick!

Oh gosh yes, let’s all go on holiday with the sort of annoying people we’d home not to meet anywhere, nevermind in a VIP lounge 😂 nooo

AgnesX · 07/03/2024 20:13

Dominos pizza and the Daisy ad both have me grinding my teeth.

Now that I think of it that fe*king ad for the AA. Grrr.

Dearg · 07/03/2024 20:13

@Gruttenberg I love that Twix advert! It is up there with Smash for me😁

On the beach , and Fairy are the worst for me, but I really judge whoever has the copyright for Queen’s music for those Flash adverts.

Helfs · 07/03/2024 20:15

Sauvage, tbh anything Dior

I won’t support any company that pays Johnny Depp to be in their adverts

Springdeclutter · 07/03/2024 20:17

I feel the fact that the thoroughly objectionable Ian Botham advertises Revitive should have put me off buying one for my dad, but the product is quite good

Gowlett · 07/03/2024 20:19

I hated that ad for an orange fizzy drink (Tizer?) where an orange bloke went around randomly slapping people. It’s of it’s time, very blokey, but I always thought it was so violent.

You’ve been Tango-ed!

GreenMarigold · 07/03/2024 20:26

The Webuyanycar radio ad. It gets played in my workplace all the time and at times I’ve considered just getting up and walking out in protest. SO annoying.

Northernsouloldies · 07/03/2024 20:26

QueenBitch666 · 07/03/2024 14:36

Those bloody meerkat adverts with the irritating 'Russian' accents
Any perfume advertised on tv. No wonder some perfumes are so fucking expensive
I too don't buy anything from companies that champion the misogyny of trans activism
Domino ( wu hu 😡 ) pizza

Nothing says perfume more ..than scantily clad woman,flaming word and a bird of prey..load o shite.
That bloody weedgie Listerine donkey I hope it ends up on one of those ' save the donkey adverts.

CrispsandCheeseSandwich · 07/03/2024 20:28

I've never eaten one anyway, but I hate that new pot noodle one where she slurps it all up.

fabio12 · 07/03/2024 20:31

That weird Tesco advertisement with the repeatedly guy miming "I've got the power!" as though he is about to vomit
It was sung by a woman not a guy
It doesn't work when you are spending money
It makes no sense
It makes me cringe so badly for everyone in it with the long pauses

The Domino adverts
The running at night adverts (Nike?)
Yorkie adverts (will never buy again)
Dyson because he is a tax evading twunt

Hatty65 · 07/03/2024 20:33

On the beach - see everyone else's comment re Paddy McGuiness and the dreadful family.
Snag tights - I don't want to wear tights produced by a company that think printing CumSlut on things is desirable and not misogynistic or demeaning in any way.
Verisure alarms - dire, badly acted commercials.

Bulky pee pants. Yeah, that inclines me to buy your product,

Moonshine5 · 07/03/2024 20:34

I don't like we buy any car.

fabio12 · 07/03/2024 20:34

Is the Paddy one the creepy plastic looking SIL letching over the mum? 😱

fabio12 · 07/03/2024 20:34

Is the Paddy one the creepy plastic looking SIL letching over the mum? 😱

It's some gambling one, Paddy Power? Where he is sitting with his wife and says something like "I hope you look like your mum" gurning at her like she's a piece of meat while everyone looks on and his wife looks confused. Poor little love, too stupid to understand he'd bang her mum given half the chance 🙄
Yeah one that gets me fuming!

Wolfcub · 07/03/2024 20:39

Anything by Charlotte Tilbury because of her bloody irritating crap poem adverts

Pleasegotobed · 07/03/2024 20:42

Snag tights

modi bodi period pants

any other brand that has men wearing women’s clothes or calls women bleeders

Keepingittogetherstepbystep · 07/03/2024 20:46

Zoopla, the ads are annoying and their estimates are extremely unreliable.

Domino's, gibberish.

Teebles007 · 07/03/2024 20:47

Santander bank ( can't stand Ant & Dec)

Gruttenberg · 07/03/2024 13:27

Pot Noodle - the slag of all snacks. Straight in the bin and never bought one since.

Also 'Daisy, daisy, daisy' - bit of a Manson vibe going on there.

My favourite ad is the twix one though!

This, 100%. Wondering if I name changed and forgot about it!

MindHowYouGoes · 07/03/2024 20:55

Charlotte tilbury - I signed up for a discount to try something I’d read about and the first email came through saying “Darling, a discount JUST for you” and I unsubscribed.

I’m not your darling.

usernother · 07/03/2024 20:59

The pot noodle slurping advert gets an immediate channel change and I'll never eat one again. Snag tights and any brand that doesn't know what a woman is.

caringcarer · 07/03/2024 21:04

Anything Nike. My Foster Son boycotts them too in support of girls in sport. He is sporty and a lot of his female friends are very sporty and he knows they train every bit as hard as he does.
