Really dislike the adverts on ITV3

Could you pay the subscription to miss out the adverts?

Colls I completely agree. We are retired and those ads drive me mad. Why would you go to a funeral then come home and have a bath raving about sausage rolls.

We pay £75 a year, on some service or other, to not have to see and listen to most of them.
DH and I decided the cost was worth it.
In money, and time saved watching dross[for us].

I catch up on my phone during ads, or make tea, Used to enjoy some of them. Gordon's Gin. Never drank it but liked the lifestyle, at that time. The Flake ads. Can't think of any new worth watching, and they spend a fortune trying to target them to their audience.

Adverts are wasted on me as I take no notice of them. I like the fact I have a few minutes to make a cuppa/ pour a glass of wine/go to the loo/put the electric blanket on etc., without missing any of the programme.

I'm not really in a position to pay to avoid the adverts at the moment. I don't mind that there are adverts so much as the nature of them and their relentless sad and miserable tone aimed at older people.
And why does everyone in the riser chairs and walk-in baths and shower ads walk in that smug, irritating way!

Buy a recording box from Argos. £259. We just set all the stuff we want and watch whenever. Wind through all adverts. Brilliant! Can set 3 things at one timing too.

And why do they leave the walk in bath/shower with no difficulty, just stroll away in a white towelling robe, no walking sticks required?

Also how does she get that robe on before she steps out of the shower? There's nowhere to hang it , iy would be soaking wet. They also miss out sitting waiting for the bath to empty before you can open the door. I record as much stuff as possible so I can fast forward all the ads.

While we're talking about ads, why does M&S keep sending me pictures of men and women in underwear? At 79 I have very little interest in skimpy knickers or men in budgie smugglers. Where has all this come from? Why can't I just see some clothes?

Because they’re young, fit, slim and all their joints are in perfect working order.
They’ve got to earn a crust!

and what about these adds showing women sitting on the toilet puting panty liners on, and the " oh my gush moments "...really sickening...

The Pepto Bismol advert gets me. People singing about heartburn, nausea, upset stomach and the idiot at the end singing diarrhea as he lifts his leg and holds his bum. Someone said on another post if it gets you talking about it then the advertisers have done their job...lol

Yes, itv3 has very depressing adverts, irritating, I tend to watch ITVX and paid for no ads, can watch what I like when I like then.

There's one ad for walk-in baths which shows the model strolling languidly across a bathroom that must be as big as a ballroom! My humble little shower room would fit into it about 4 times over.

Life insurance? Unaffordable cruises? And endless gambling/bingo ads…

They need to show real life models who actually need to use a walk- in bath/shower.

Maybe 70+ year olds, overweight, bad hips and knees, walking stick in each hand, shuffling across a little bathroom…..

But perhaps not such a glam image as 30 somethings, slim and trim, towel draped casually across tanned shoulders as they emerge from said shower and stroll casually across the room…

I’m afraid that the fact that the supermarket /cruise/oldies’ chairs and bath ads have aroused comment - even your displeasure- shows that their timing has been effective and that they have been noticed . So from an advertising point of view, they are working ! Job done

The hard sell is always annoying .
I hate the ads for Dormeo beds and worst -the endless funeral plans sometimes ba.ck to back .As I write this there's another one and it's not on ITV 3.
I find them really depressing .
I make tea when they are on,but there's only so much that you can drink or I switch over for a couple of minutes.
Maybe thatc75 quid is worth it !

Wow - Dormeo ads go on forever and ever, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ..........

My Dad had a theory that "if they have to advertise it/that/them so much then it/that/them can't be bloody selling!"

The stupid man dancing round the living room because he's bought an over 50's plan or something. I don't even know what the advert is about because it's so annoying. Why are the over 50's portrayed in this ridiculous way?

I laugh at the overweight man in the bath who has been stuffing himself at a funeral buffet, dreaming of sausage rolls while his wife is on the phone to Pure Cremation. 😂😂

Why do they have to be so excited and smiling in a self satisfied fashion just because they have planned their funeral That bloke in the bath and the silly wife especially.

My OH thinks the wife is ready to push him under the water

Totally agree, awful ads,, and it can make younger people see us differently,
What a load of old claptrap, and also how young do these(elderly) actors look?
