Annoying adverts

The best thing about having Sky catch up TV is that it downloads the programmes without the adverts. I like Masterchef Australia, and download that on Catch up, it reduces the time of the show to 43 minutes.

Oh, I love the Meerkats! I`ve got an Aleksander from when we took out insurance a few months ago.

All of the above, or below, depending which way up you read Gransnet.

The meerkats!

Fortunately we seldom catch any adverts but when we do they always seem to come on ten times louder than the programme we were watching. Do you think is a ploy so that you can hear them from the loo or whilst in the kitchen making a cuppa?

The one with Michael Parkinson trying to flog insurance plans to us apparently mentally infirm seniors - " You can't get this kind of cover for less". Talk about patronising!

feetle it wasn't the power of advertising then for you, if you didn't realise!Did you get one free? LOL.

Those Aviva ones with Paul Whitehouse. Fortunately we too record most things and can fast forward the ads.

Most of them !
I tend to flick over to a BBC channel during the adds. DH is amazed that most of the time I can judge exactly when to flick back to what we're watching
We can't record and watch later.

@glammana - Lots of us do!

@rosesarered - I had a new front window put in - I was very pleased with it, and the operatives did a good job and cleaned up properly. Only then did I realise it was the 'You buy one, you get one free' company... I told them that if I had realised that before they wouldn't have got the job!

I do wish that silly woman on "W- Hotels" ad would find her hubby Colin,she is enough to stop anyone going to stay at their Hotels sounds more like an endurance test to me."catch up Colin".
The ads that show dirty kitchen/bathroom tops & units who on earth lives in a house like that uurrh !!

Adverts which suggest dishonesty as being clever. The one at the moment is a cheese advert.

I prefer to record programs and fast forward through the adverts. They are such a waste of life. ITV 3 appears the worst for the length of time adverts are on and the number of breaks. They absolutely ruin Foyle's War. Five minutes of adverts and you have forgotten what you were watching.

I ALWAYS mute the sound when adverts come on !

Some adverts are so annoying that nothing on earth would pursuade me to buy that product! I usually leave the room to put kettle on/go loo/do housework/whatever, rather than watch them.

Adverts? What Adverts? We rarely watch anything "live". Everything is recorded and then watched later so that we can skip all the adverts.

The latest Go Compare ad is creepily suggestive and makes me cringe.

All adverts annoy me and I mostly watch recorded programmes so I can whizz through but specifically annoying are

- Oak Furniture Land and their awful 'gold for the price of silver in mock pirate accents and now they are dressing up as Elves!!!'
- adverts where its clearly an actor taking the part of a professional - as dentists on toothpaste ads for example.
- actors and presenters being themselves and endorsing products specifically Lorraine Kelly and some catalogue she is promoting.
- the worst of all is a group of women dancing around because they have a sanitary pad in place - gruesome!!

the Nationwide BS 'we're on your side' with everything on fast-mo and the sickly voiceover.
the TSB one runs it a close second

The NoNo ad drives me mad! It was especially annoying when it was on every single lunchtime without fail.

That bathroom ad that's been on, "Trick or treat" in a very whiney child's voice. Thank goodness it's over now!

Len Goodman in the Farm Foods advert - ditto!

Ronnie Corbett in the Wiltshire Farm Foods advert. He is so silly and patronising.

They should have a Gransnet version of Gogglebox. We could ALL be in that!

Yes. I hate the sickly werther add I want to slap her when she sucks the sweet. And as for Peter Andrea shopping in Iceland well words fail me. My worry is there are loads of adverts I hate and I swear or shout at the television. I remember my old dad doing that and it got on my nerves and now I'm doing it. Have any of you watched 'gogglebox'? people are shouting at the television. I could star in that I'm ashamed to say

I think I have got the wrong advertiser, it is Demand More whatever that may be.
