Annoying TV adverts

Well I certainly didn’t. I think most adverts are an insult to the intelligence.

I have been watching the programmes about the supermarkets in the 70’s and the adverts were just as silly then . There was one with a silly woman dancing and singing

“Shake’n Vac and put the freshness back “.

.

As stated in the programme that was one of the greatest ads of all time! We all loved the Shake'n Vac advert. 😍

Most do as any appealing to my generation are for equity release or funeral planning. So many are about technology and I don't find any memorable like I used to years ago.

I cannot bear the announcers who tell us that the

Sport is lav nah

sick of bad speech, bad pronunciation and bad grammar where ever we are.

I absolutely agree aquagran. It was on last night and I said to DH that must be the most annoying advert ever. It’s the dancing at the end that gets to me.

“I didn’t know you had dandruff!”
“I don’t.”

I wouldn’t care if he did!

Me too Lilypops who on earth would just pee in her pants all day? if it's that bad she should see her doctor asap
I also can't stand to listen to that woman telling us to register for the million pound house draw, the way she drops her voice at the end of every sentence grates on my nerves

My bulky pee pants !! Two women at the gym discussing incontinence pads aaarggghh, Just awful

Love the Virgin Atlantic I am what I am advert, I never get tired of it. I do hate the life insurance ads, they are always aged 32 and non-smokers, as if!!

Have to agree with Calendargirl the one with the donkey and mouthwash also the one with the donkey and Pot Noodles. Those lovely animals deserve better
The funeral plan and parsnips makes me want to insert said parsnips.

And the postcode lottery one with its wretched ear worm song ‘Someone’s knocking the door, someone’s ringing the bell’. Aaarrrggghhh!

The life insurance ads with people excitedly saying ‘We could pay off the mortgage with that!’. Yes, but wouldn’t you rather be alive?

Apart from the annoyance of seeing those people rolling around in white duvets in a field, what on earth are they sniffing? It appears to be some additional flowery additive that you use on top of your fabric softener for even more of a chemical stink. Anything to sell more unnecessary laundry items!

I can't stand the Lenor adverts; silly people getting euphoric with sniffing a clean duvet.
We just use the mute button if obliged to sit through ads but mainly record and "whizz" through these horrors.

I use the remote to fast forward them when I have recorded something. I am not interested in insurance plans don’t have constipation or erectile dysfunction don’t gamble and don’t rap. So therefore none of the adverts are of interest to me.

Cabbie21 I agree with all the above, but to be honest, I don’t watch them, I pick up a puzzle or go and make a cup of tea.

I never used to see any adverts as I recorded everything and skipped them. But now I watch Freevee and ITVX I can't do that, and there's usually no time to read or make tea as they can sometimes be just one advert. So I do see adverts now.

The freckle-faced man who jumps around showing us inside his house to see his Ikea 'pad'. Argh! Why are so many adverts noisy and aggressive, with excited people jumping or dancing all over the place. I just find them so annoying.

All the gambling ones that come on during any sport. They are bad enough but DH complaining about them is worse!

The one on the radio I can’t bear is for equity release. It creates a scenario with a mum who hugely overreacts when she learns her daughter is pregnant and suggests equity release so the parents can help the young couple. So much drama.

Verisure alarms and "the pay before you die" funeral ones, both seem to be on regularly every morning when DH, watches channel 5 .

Chestnut

One of the worst is the back to school advert with the rapping schoolchildren. It is really horrible.

Chestnut and I thought it was only me !! no wonder our little ones are so badly influenced.
Also why every evening when sitting down to eat do I see adverts for erectile disfunction its the last thing I want to see when eating my meal.

The only current advert I actually like is the Macdonald's eyebrow raising one! I also liked the Coming Home song on a previous one of theirs.
Most of the time I record programmes so that I can skip the adverts because they are usually annoying.

I find them all annoying especially as they seem to drag on in the middle of a good play or whatever. Still it gives me plenty of time to go to the loo or make a cup of tea!

The Samsung phone advert (I think).
Where the lady says ahhhhhh
Awful 😩
