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.

The perfume ads with the well known actors,who for the life of me cant act in the ad.And im surprised no one has mentioned "I want to poo at Pauls" and the car ad from a few years ago where the kids where meant to be grown up.Hated that ad wiht a passion.

To the horrific galalalalalala one, I will now add the one with the strange, blond chap (who looks like he stepped straight out of that 80s sex manual - can't remember the name), and who strips off when the woman wins at bingo. She should be ashamed of herself, and he needs to get tae fuck!

Oh that one sounds interesting SDTG I must 've missed it I try to mute or turn over quickly when faced with a barage of ads.

I really think that the agencies must think we're all effin' idiots esp. the car ads that NEVER show other cars on the road, do they really think that we believe that if we buy the certain car ALL other cars on the road will disappear!!!?????

I hate them accident claim ones too. I remember a couple of years ago there was the lady with the dodgy fringe who fell at work. I thought her fringe was more tragic than the fall

GlitzAnd The punchlines of those ads should be "we'll take 86% of anything that you make, you stupid gullible fools".

Yes "we couldn't give a flying fuck what happened to you but whatever it is we're robbing you from it"

Oh I just remembered that window advert "YE BUY ONE YE GET ONE FREE I SAID YE BUY ONE YE GET ONE FREE!!" FUCK OFFFFFFFFF!

Oh yes those double glazing ones, the punchlines should be "we'll fit them free for you but won't worry about the gaps around the edges, you'll be colder than you were before SUCKERRRRR!!!"
'

The Vistaprint one where the women florist goes on about how particular she is about everything being perfect and then says
"and it looks proper" She is obviously not that particular about her english.

I remember the fringe Glitz! Don't remember the company or any details but that bloody awful, too short fringe.

A really retro one... Does anyone remember years ago there was a personal injury ad with a kid in glasses? It ran for years and I remember reading that the kid and his mum got lots of abuse about it. Ridiculous stuff.

The Booking.dot.com, Booking.dot.yeah one gives me a rage.

And one on the radio which is a conversation between a man and a woman (for what I do not care) that has them say "Evil Telecom" FIVE times.

The pilot in the watch ad flying off to meet Anna to discover two Anna's waiting for him?

I bloody hate film trailers for anything remotely scary. I have no desire to watch The Woman in Frigging Black 2 but she keeps showing up in my tv unannounced and uninvited! Do one lady.

I used I do online surveys for a bit of extra money and often got to see ads before they came out. Weirdly I was asked questions like "how friendly does this advert make you think our product is?" and "does this ad give you a feeling of JOYOUSNESS?" Ad execs are living in an alternate reality to most of us mortals. Really odd.

The Banking skills kid ad pisses me off no end. I'll leave it there, there are so many!

I was on my way home from a hot date with a new man when I got a bit too excited and fell out of the taxi, flashing my knickers Not to worry, at least they matched my dress (good job it wasn't my baggy old grey ones, eh!) and the tenalady pad I was wearing not only caught the little wee that I did when I fell but was so discrete that my sexy new fella didn't notice! Anyway, I invited him in and we were just getting down to a bit of... erm... you-know-what on the sofa when I remembered I'd left a big box of them sticking out of my bag which was right there on the table in front of us! Oops

The Booking.dot.com one is great for us ......now.....

MIL half heard it over Christmas and said "are they saying what I THINK they are saying?"

ermmmmmm - no Grandma - 14 times in one advert, on daytime telly over Christmas - NO I don't think so... it is BOOKING

so we break out into the giggles every time we hear the ad now

The Warner Leisure one with the irritating woman calling 'Colin, Colin'. Don't they realise that the very thought of being at a hotel with that woman is a disincentive?

I don't mind celebs doing adverts at all - can see why they do but as soon as they start advertising loans/online gambling I lose any respect I might have had.

Shame on them.

The one that really drives me over the edge is the Chambord one with its pelican, weird shaped glass, but most of all the extremely irritating French woman and her 'bof'! Aaagh. Love the product though!

Whippet I totally agree.

Anyone seen the new bingo ad with the bearded ginger bloke who's clothes disappear? It is as bad as you imagine yes...

Yes - that's the one I was talking about earlier. He will be one of the first up against the wall, when I am Supreme Ruler of All.

Ds1 has pointed out that I have rather a long list of people who will be first up against the wall, come that glorious day - I just told him it will be a long wall!
