Annoying adverts

Please don’t attack me for this but I’m fed up with all the ‘ NHS is wonderful’ promations on almost every advert break.
I was a nurse for 45 years so I am definitely not anti NHS but surely others must feel the same.
Maybe it’s a surprise to the Tory government, but we the general population know how great the service is and we don’t need it rammed down our throat all the time.

What happened to the brilliant Guinness adverts?

Can't stand the constant stream of nonsensical
adverts on television. Just mute it and go and do something else. So annoying!!

The Meerkats ads drive me bananas. I hate the things, they are so revolting.

I record most tv so that I can fast forward through the adverts that can go on for 4 minutes at times. I suspect a lot of people do this. Funnily enough, when I was a lot younger and tv was new, I used to love the adverts especially the jingles. Shell and Pepsodent come to mind. How things change!

The dreadful equity release one repeatedly on Sky with a dodgy salesman dashing through the rain to interview a smug couple while lingering on the amount you could borrow. Very irritating and won't go away. As a rule we always record to avoid them all or mute when we don't record. There are far too many people leaping around, gurning and making strange noises. Do advertisers really believe we actually watch them let alone be influenced to buy?

I saw the new Tampax one for the first time last night Quizzer I agree it was unnecessarily descriptive. However did we manage before we had all these ads to 'help' us.

I’ve with Glorybee - mute adverts but if pushed the most annoying one is Carpetland sponsoring quality entertainment- the voice of the woman (who used to do the equally annoying homes under the hammer) is irritating beyond belief

The funeral advert with the old man sat on a bench, it's so fake.

The shaven head grinning 'no way' female in the fabric softener ad.

Whatever happened to nice gentle jingles. I am fed up with people screaming at me or awful loud music going on. Is nothing private anymore? Tampax, Jenny Eclair and now the latest awful one about “feeling a bit dry down there, sex is better with lube”. FGS there are some things which should be kept in house IMO. It’s as if the advertisers thinks we cannot find out or judge for ourselves on the various personal goods they insist on bombarding us with.

Ads help pay for sites like this one, but it's easy to avoid them - if you're on a pc, most take-away menu lists - the ones that come through your door - fit very neatly over the right hand side of the screen. TV ads are something else. I routinely ignore commercial TV, but sometimes there's a programme I really want to watch unpolluted, which is now possible, although I've never tried it. Otherwise, ad breaks are good for mixing G+Ts/making tea or having a pee. American culture is riddled with ads - when I was pregnant and living in California, we regularly received leaflets for funeral plans through the door!

We have one running in Northern Ireland at the moment about only pee, poo, and toilet roll going in the toilet. It's done in a squeaky cartoon voice. Driving me nuts.

The man with a pink shirt advertising 'Vanish'. I wish he would ...

What I find annoying is that these adverts are repeated endlessly at every commercial break. There should be a law that we should only have to listen to this drivel once a day.

It's the National Lottery adverts and also the People's Postcode Lottery ones that are really annoying, with a lot of screeching and jumping about like loons.

Who on earth did the marketing campaign for VirginMedia in their latest offering. The music is as annoying as the completely insane content. They used to have such good adverts too. Mind you, it goes in line with their service. After over 25 years with cable, we've given up and gone with fibre. It has been well worth it in savings alone.

The advert for bold washing powder.. so cheesy! And slaughtering Spandau Ballet’s finest at the same time! ?

Northernandproud - totally agree about borrowing money - the credit card ads - and would include Carol Vorderman's equity release ads

Hetty, that made me laugh!

I'm sick of the BBC advertising their own programmes or podcasts etc in between all of their programmes. Especially bloomin George "what does it take for the word to be heard" gggrrrrrr Also they show to much of upcoming programmes that I'll be watching but don't want to know the details of in case they spoil it.

I to ask sick of life insurance, health insurance and funeral cover adverts.

Oh yes- the Just Eat one should be banned immediately! What rubbish- learn to cook!!!!!

Ooops... pelvic floor exercises

It's easier to say the advert I DO like- yes there is one. The little girl who gets the £1 coin from trolley but has to give it back to Dad in the car. I love her facial expressions.
Other than that the Perf Surf, Viagra & Tena Lady are just examples of the rubbish they inflict on us. I tend to watch commercial TV on record so I can wizz past the ads.

Did somebody say "Just Eeeeet" in a shrill piercing voice. I usually watch either BBC channels or progs I've recorded on the Sky box so I can just fast forward through the ads. But I don't mind any ad with cats in them like Dreamies with the creepy man and the teabag one with cat and dog (PG Tips?)
