Have you ever stopped using a product because the advert is so annoying?

[Ratherhaveacupofteaandabiscuit]

I generally only watch tv on ad free streaming so have little experience of adverts these days but through a change of services I have just seen the advert for John Frieda Root Booster spray.

It is a blank faced young woman with a very annoying monotone voice giving a double speed monologue about the effect of the product on her hair.

She has a hugely unpleasant and cold quality. I am not sure if this is intentional or not?

Either way I find the advert so incredibly irritating!

That's me done with John Frieda.

I am clearly not their target market.

I love the pepto bismol advert. Told people for years it helps with diarrhoea to their insistence it's only for indigestion.

Thankfully it is not a product I have to use (once in the last 15 years).

The Trivago adverts are annoying, and also wrong. Never had their prices be cheaper than other sites.

Adverts on Prime annoy me overall, complete access to what I buy and I have yet to see an advert for a product I would actually purchase. Not going to buy pampers or SMA follow on milk no matter how many times the advert interrupts me.

Oh the Tampax (that song is cringe) and Always adverts!

I might appreciate an advert for sanitary protection that actually works for the "Oh My Gush" for women with endometriosis though.

I actually believe some adverts (period
products, tena pads, adverts for meds for thrush) are soft porn. They show close ups of women in knickers, women sitting on the toilet with their pants down etc and it leaves little to the imagination. I was in the USA last year and their adverts are respectful. A bit nauseating but respectful. I wish we had that here.

I had forgotten about the “oh my gush” ones. It’s embarrasing really. Ok if you’re watching on your own but really bad if you’re watching it as a teen with your new boyfriend for example. Or your nanna!

Oh yes, never bought a Yorkie bar, I mean they didn't want my money so ...

There's definitely another much more recent advert that puts me off the product completely - can't think what it is right now though.

Facebook ads based around AI generated stories. There's one aimed at my demographic, that I could actually do with (putting your affairs in order before you die, via some book/folder/app) that uses this approach painfully and long-windedly in those single line 'paragraphs'.

If you can't tell your customer's stories without AI fakery, I'm not going to believe that they're real, and I won't trust you.

I’d never dream of banking with Santander thanks to that pair of irritating twats, Ant and Dec. The whole campaign was a witless, unwatchable shitefest and surely must have cost them customers.

I won’t buy fairy now as we are being inundated with their horrible AI adverts on streaming platforms. It’s being pushed so hard it’s having the opposite effect.

In fact, any brand using fake AI people or AI songs (so Aussie hair products ticks both those boxes with the Curls just wanna have fun shite).

I find it insulting that these companies seem to assume I don’t know the difference between fake and real people, or that I don’t care.

They can fuck right off with the cheeky shite
Martin Kemp advertising an over 50sfuneral plan..
That's taking the piss like he's bothered about funeral costs.

Snag tights.!Hate their advertising. Have been tempted to buy their products but nope…awful adverts

I’m glad it isn’t just me!
Sounds like I have missed some truly appalling adverts.
Regarding the indecency of some, I have noticed a trend for showing women sat on the toilet in dramas.
It is horrible.
Why would we want to see that and what does it add to the plot?!

Oh yes - definitely not aimed at me.
