...to ask for your advert 'hates'???

[isitreallynecessary]

The television ones!

What adverts get you riled and why?

My top 3 are:

1. toilet roll!
Who is NOT buying this stuff, really? I know the bog roll defenders will say the companies are just promoting their own brands, but don't we just buy the best brand on offer?

2. Watch this fab new show...
...on a different channel, that you don't get. I have been caught out on this one sooo many times of an evening

3. The 'I use this and it is sooo great'
I never believe any of the actors/actresses because they always look so wooden, bored, falsely gleeful or just plain crazy. Does anyone believe them?

Now go mn, give me your own hates!!!

Oh yes clara I saw that one with dd, she is 8 and knew what they were doing

YY to perfume ads and Secret sodding Escapes. Wowcher advert gets on my tits too

Incredibly sorry Buzzard

The one that advertises nappies with the oh-so-happy babies who have slept all night and wake up at decent hour cheerful with endearingly stuck up hair. Not only do I have an irrational dislike of the song they put over it, my DC have never once in the whole of their lives woken up like that. Mine favoured the screaming inconsolably at 5am school of mornings. The hair may have been stuck up but sadly I don't remember it being endearing. It may have been if I had first seen it at half past eight. So that one really sticks in my craw. I don't seem to be able to block the song out either, like most television so my brain alerts me to it everytime! Thanks, brain!

The dry shampoo advert that says "The great British night out. Now it won't be your hair that calls it quits!"

When does your hair ever call it quits?!?! "Oh sorry guys, my hairs tired, I'd better go home"...

All ads that state the price as a series of individual digits with no mention of hundreds, thousands or pounds...

... as in "just seven nine nine" when they mean SEVEN HUNDRED AND NINTEY NINE FUCKING POUNDS.

How did I forget bloody Wowcher? Nobody under any circumstance would ever make a sound like 'wowcher', whether they have just noticed tattoo they got whilst pissed or are staring triumphantly at a chopstick, so why persist in that stupid campaign?

I watched actual TV over Christmas and was astounded by the amount of gambling ads either followed or prefaced by loan ads. Do people not see how damaging this is. I'm surprised gambling ads are allowed on TV.

Those Brand Power ones where a very serious looking person in a suit tells you how to "buy better". How on earth did I manage before they came along?

And that Diet Chef advert with the " mmmmmmmmm chicken curry...lovely", makes me want to put my foot through the tv.

Another one is the German caffeine shampoo! All those annoying 'zoom' noises and claiming that "...it won't be around long." Well it isn't going to go anywhere unless customers are buying it surely? Besides, I am sure I saw the same advert about 4 years ago, so clearly it is awful!

Proud of you necessary

Any advert with Myleene Klass

I long for a world of adverts like the ones in The Invention of Lying. Truthful ads. With stuff like "Pepsi, for when you've run out of Coke". Or i dunno, "andrex. It's no better but we wish it was and we price it accordingly"

Ads for face cream where they use made-up pseudo-scientific names for the ingredients, to try and make us believe that they've invented some new wonder chemical.

Any advert involving a before and after shot. The before shot is usually grey and drab, that's if they even use the same model.

Also hate the Heinz soup one. The voiceover is gruffly, low and soft. Sounds like she's been inhaling sawdust. Irritating.

I am sure I remember an ad being viewed by Vivian on the TV in the Young Ones where someone was wiping his arse and lifted up a wadge of bog roll he had just wiped with and said "see, it gets more shit off". But either it was wiped (see what I did there?) or I was because I have watched all the episodes and it no longer appears.

Thanks Buzz.

Taxi has reminded me that I also hate the infomercial-type, where they say the 'new, genius' product is really amazing and only available from one or two retailers (or in some cases only available direct.) I have always thought that if these gadgets, specialist facial treatments etc were genuinely that good, they would be stocked everywhere.

All of them. I work in the ad industry and it is all such a load of bollocks. We now pretty much watch all TV on catch up/ demand wotsit on Sky so we can FF through the ad breaks.

The ones I really loathe are the ambulance chaser claim ads.

OF COURSE YOU GET TO KEEP ALL OF YOUR FUCKING COMPENSATION BECAUSE THAT'S THE FUCKING LAW is what I screech at the tellybox if I am caught unawares by one of those ads

Also adverts for shampoo that claim to make your hair 80% more touchably soft. Tell me the scientific test that accurately measures touchable fucking softness or glossiness or whatever else they claim.

The scary one for cravendale with the biscuit boy.

I really liked the old ad with the cats with thumbs.

The Waitrose one that says only their staff give a shit because they own the company-does that mean surgeons do a slap dash job because they dont own the NHS?

The tesco one for ecigs that says they are ok to use indoors. Pisses me right off. We dont know for sure what harm they cause yet but indoor use shouldnt be encouraged imo.

Im also in agreement with pp re gambling and money lending ads. They are just wrong!

"Filmed with lash inserts".

^ so why the fuck am I going to buy your mascara then?

Dolmio. just stupid, and awful, though I do love the youtube version where they've overdubbed it with Scots swearing
