What adverts annoy you?

For me at the moment it's the made.com advert of a woman in her 40s trying to dance street style. And she has no flair or charisma in her dancing. I get annoyed, because someone more rewarding could have got the job.

What ads anno you and why?

With no TV I rarely see adverts. When I do I am shocked at how shit they are.

Apart from some of the recent Christmas ones

I watched some TV with my family over Christmas for the first time in years - 15 minutes of program followed by 10 minutes of adverts. Repeat for 2 hours.

Totally over it.

Most adverts annoy me as I do not like being told what to buy.

However I can at least appreciate amusing adverts, and clever adverts. The ones that really annoy me are ads where somehow the latest washing powder or trying a new fish finger will solve all your worldly problems....spray that smelly aerosol and suddenly the sun comes out, everything goes into soft focus with bright colours and everyone is happy.

I also get annoyed by the ones that have no inventiveness...especially American ads where they still think they can sell stuff by shouting the product name over and over, and repeating a phone number 5 times.

I rarely watch commercial television. If I must watch something on ITV, Channel 4 or 5 then it generally gets recorded and the ads skipped. Movies I record off commercial TV, even Film 4, get dumped into the PC where I edit out the ads completely and burn a DVD or BD.

Off the grid

Apparently it's the annoying ones that sell products.

The really clever artistic ones don't work as a marketing tool. Apparently the really cool Guinness ones from years ago that cost a fortune to make sold zero extra Guinness.

So vote with your wallets people. Don't buy from rubbish adverts, only good ones.

5. Gary Linekar in Walkers Ads.... I put my fingers in my eyes , close my eyes go aghhhhhhhhh and spit on the screen.

The ads which are so plain stupid and stretch reality to extremes.....

Like the Vanquis Credit Card ad, with some horse riding hero from centuries ago praising the advantages of that branded credit card.

What fecking so called advertising company dreamt that one up? Credit Cards only existed from 50 years ago, not in Robin Hood times.

Or for washing powder / liquid adverts. What advertising executive thinks that Mums look adoringly at their offspring, covered in muck, mud etc and welcome washing their clothes.

In our house, Mum would be going crazy if we turned up in that state, and we'd be getting a right rollicking.

Do advertising execs actually live in the real world?

Whilst I'm not an uncharitable person but get sick to death of the adverts asking to donate X amount of money for.. this....that....and whatever.

These type of adverts seem to have increased dramatically in the last 2 years and maybe just maybe actually deter people from donating to any charitable cause.
