Annoying adverts on TV

[s7ephanie]

Stuck indoors with painful leg so watching tv,so many ads are annoying, latest is the little boy that wants the fairy bottle to make a spaceship
What ads annoy you..?

All of them - universally inane nonsense.

Apparently TV adverts earns on average £300 a year per consumer that is exposed to them.

No doubt we will be inundated with posts who don’t really understand advertising telling us they buy what they want, not what they’re told to. Whereas all successful advertising on TV is about brand awareness.

Well I was drawn in by the Ann Summers ad campaign..

I got planter fascia from the high heels and severe testicle rash from the crotchless knickers...the black eyes were a bonus..
Advertising works

Disagree, there have been some cracking adverts on TV over the years, some of which I remember incredibly clearly. The little boy standing on Yellow Pages for a kiss, the Guinness surfers, Stella's last orders, John Lewis' first Christmas effort...

1) Sensodyne toothpaste adverts - every camera angle has a wonky tripod and nobody ever sits on the furniture.

2) The job finder App advert - Does that women really expect me to believe her dream job was a waitress in a restaurant ?

3) Generic template adverts.... "At [insert company name], we know [insert patronising statement]. That's why [insert blatantly obvious solution using your product]"

So that's a good ad in 2003, 1998, 1999, and 2007.

I don't think that's often enough to make up for the 1000s of mediocre and bad ones.

They work. I've started gambling out of fear Winstone will kick my teeth in.

Local advert in itv central area for a car supermarket no music, no talking no jingle just car details flashing up on screen. It makes you look up as you think your tellys busted.

If I put some effort in I could come up with many more. I was responding to the claim that they were universally inane.

Mind you I just remembered Go Compare.

He wouldn't kick your teeth in. It would be a dry slap.
