Some adverts are so bad you’ll never purchase the product?

[NellesVilla]

That bloody Abel and Cole as has just been on whilst I was happily listening to LBC radio. It’s so crap, especially compounded by the fact that the young lad can’t sing (I’m sure he’s lovely but he’s time deaf).

I’d never purchase from them as the advert winds me up so much; what adverts put you off the company to this extent?

I also hate any cereal adverts, the Ariel ones and ones where women are doing every shitty domestic crap for the men and children.

I'm a sucker for most adverts with cute dogs in though!

• ad, not as
• tone, not time

Bloody hell, butter fingers!!

I imagine that everyone who works for muller constantly has yoghurt on their nose and is baffled by anyone who can eat a yoghurt without falling head first into it. It must be very weird for people who live in the area where their head office is wity all the yoghurt covered people walking about

Innocent smoothies.

Don’t patronise me. You’re not my pal, and I happen to know that the over-familiar ‘good guy’ marketing is a smokescreen for a company that treats its employees like crap.

The safestyle windows ad with that horrible shouty man. I'd rather choke than do business with him.

Any advert for menstrual products that doesn't mention women and girls.
Female cancer charities that do the same will not see a penny from me.

The tampax ad that goes something like 'get it up there girls' gives me the rage!

Yorkie bars - they used to be my favorite chocolate but I haven't eaten them since they introduced the 'not for girls ' slogan in 2002.

I have a friend who works for Muller. He doesn't have yoghurt on his nose but he does have a fridge full of them!

I haven’t seen an ad in years; I record everything we might want to watch and then we just fast forward through the ads. I started doing this so we didn’t have to watch the ads anymore as I find them pretty much universally annoying.

we don’t buy any products who have embraced the g##er woo if we can help it.

'WASHING MACHINES LIVE LONGER WITH CALGON'

Fuck off, Calgon, with that awful bloody jingle that belongs in 1982.

I want to punch everyone who says
"That's a splash of the bold"

Definitely with you, OP.

I have paid extra for car insurance when LV came out cheapest on comparison sites because of their advert.

How can anyone not be enraged by the music/song?

That was well before 2002

Lenor Outdoorables. The whole advert is about how people don't have space to dry inside and it's raining outside. Problem solved by having fabric conditioner that smells like outside. WHAT?!

It drives me nuts. I shall never buy it.

I wouldn't call 2001 well before.

Lifebuoy advert that came out in lockdown
the sight of the cartoon nose with cartoon snot dripping out of it makes me so ill I gag if I see the product

the outdoors one-just really gets on my tits

the ones where they put one shirt in the machine and turn it on
ive never put just one item in the machine and washed it

This one came up on my Facebook and appalled me although the first comment made me smile.

Trivento wines. My DH and I hate their ads with a passion. They are so irritating.

I thought I remembered it being much earlier than that too, but when I Googled I got 2002.

Loaf sofas. The guy doing the voiceover sounds so damn smug; I detest how he says 'cake'!

Any radio adverts that feature car horns. Gives me a shock every time when I’m driving.

Calgon...or anything that has been badly dubbed form another language

I don't buy anything based on ads. I'm more likely to refuse to buy something from an annoying advert, especially if it's a midroll on YouTube.

I look on supermarket shelves at products and decide what to buy there instead.

I read a book which included a theory that the odd terrible advertising campaign is caused by anti-capitalists working on the inside.
(Can't remember the name of the book but it was by the same person who wrote The End of Mr Y and the edges of the pages were blue.)
It made me think the Lynx Chocolate campaign might've been one of them, where the women kept breaking bits off the man in the advert? Very sinister.

Muller yoghurts, demeaning Olyimpians in the name of over sugary crap.

Come on Dina, tell them to feck off.
