AIBU to hate certain adverts?

[CandODad]

I understand that everyone has a right to advertise what they have to offer but surely there should be a limit to the number of times an advert can be shown in a time period or limit the number of the same companies that "sell" the same thing? I am sick of seeing accident solicitors, sub prime loans and late of an evening e-cig adverts.

I also hate the Tena ads with the dopey bitch who put her dress on backwards. Then she gives that smug gurning look to the woman wearing the dress correctly. Why not go to the loo and complain?

They also have those awful ads with the ladies doing Zumba and dancing around like idiots. The tag line should be "don't worry, you won't piss your pants."

Trivago woman is incredibly drippy and stupid. Plus at the end it looks like she's been drugged and her hunky boyfriend is kidnapping her. Maybe she drank too much at the hotel bar and had to be carried to bed?

Duh. Go to the loo and change, obvs. Tena lady won't get very far by complaining.

"Be more dog"

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I hate one for I think it's called mad bid where a postman keeps delivering stuff to a bloke. It looks like they spent a lot of money on the animation but then ruined it with awful dialogue and voice acting.

And the vistaprint one with the dog groomer. The way she talks gives me the rage. "It's my business I built it up from scraaaatch"

The Hotels4U one irritates the shit out of me.

All sofa ads.
The blokeish betting one - can't remember which bookmakers it was. Cheesy bromance and if you bet with me you will have mates, except it was for an online betting service & you will be a still sad f**k sitting by your computer, just with less money.
Carling's mission impossible get out of the office early.

Iceland ads - the Celebrity Jungle ones are really bad.

Agree Gawshun The tagline for the T.Lady and Man pads should be ;"Save your money and the environment, do your pelvic floor exercises properly".

All those Vistaprint ads are complete shit Eminybob. The wedding florist lady seems like a right bitch, and I can't stand how she says "propaaaaar".

I just saw a very cheap advert on kids TV for a pantomime in Woking... over an hour's drive away. They must be bloody desperate to sell tickets if they're advertising on television. Perhaps Justin Fletcher isn't enough of a draw.

I've noticed one information advert about Cow's Milk Allergy and thought well that actually is useful; then noticed a little symbol in the far right lowest corner, for a company that produces foods for those babies ; there's very little, or anything, that is entirely altruistic in the advertising world.

SDTG - I was just coming here to make that point.

Ga la la la la Ga la la la Oh oh oh Bin-goooooooooo.

Fuck off with your Galalalalabingo - I will never ever satisfy any future bingo urge I might have at one of your clubs solely on the grounds of this stupid, agrravating, brainless fuckwitted attempt at an advert.

Goodness that feels better!

I hate the wowcher ads especially the sushi one - she gives me the rage.

I proper piss at that crappy Quidco advert - the guy singing "I earn a lot of dough" just makes me howl, I know not why.

As for my most hated advert - it has to be that cheesy Ralph Lauren (??) aftershave one - the one that looks well eighties. It's all fast driving and there's a woman with a high legged swimsuit standing on a speedboat (obviously)

There's a ghastly ad, it might be for IKEA but not sure, where the entire family is whirling around on a carousel in their kitchen, handing out food and suchlike, with even the poor bloody dog spinning along. I suffer from vertigo and that sets me off immediately.

One thing I've noticed is that I seldom remember the actual brand name or product they're trying to flog. Surely that's the aim of the exercise? The 'mute' button on our remote is more often on than off, so maybe that's why I don't hear the punchlines of the ads!

scrappy Oh I can't even SAY the name of those W. ads without getting the stabby rages !!!! Also those effing galllla ones DoubleV (I'm not writing the full names because BIG BROTHER is watching and `I'll get effing cookies promoting the very things I hate !!!!!

That bloody secret escapes woman ... no idea why I've taken such a dislike to her, but fuck off and do one will you!

On the other side, I really like the Kobe/Messi adverts, and the one where they make the ice sculpture beach resort (I think it's hilarious that it's a chainsaw advert, I was assuming it would be for some fancy booze).

B&Q I got the power - makes my dog bark, which makes me jump .. and it is on too often.

Oh yes definitely MyCarHas I hate her as well!

Skylark have you noticed thatl the agencies seem to copy one another ?e.g. everyone was dancing all the time in every effing ad. Just before Christmas.

I just saw a very cheap advert on kids TV for a pantomime in Woking... over an hour's drive away. They must be bloody desperate to sell tickets if they're advertising on television. Perhaps Justin Fletcher isn't enough of a draw.

We get that ad too and we're nearly a 3 hr drive from Woking. Why would I drive all that way for a panto?

If I see that bearded man and his white-bearded friends on the whisky ad once more I'll...well, I'll do something awful. It's on every few minutes - they must have spent a fortune on the advertising.

Hatespiders IKWYM it drives me round the bend too, but it's not an advert, It's cheaper because the company are sponsors of the programme that it comes up either end of. (dh is in telly so knows these things!!).

Have you noticed that the vast majority of the posts here relate to advertising aimed at 'women'? There is a science to it and some companies deliberately produce annoying ads so they stick in people's minds. Pointless perfume ads are equalled by pointless car ads.

The last ad I thought was funny was unfortunately banned .

FloatIs It doesn't work though, I can't remember the name of the product and certainly wouldn't buy it even if I could!!

That secret escapes one. I hate the whispering. Drives me mad.

That irritating bank ad where the young guy keeps saying "ermm".....
