Annoying Adverts 2015

[Hocus Eye.]

That's a very peculiar thing to say, given the number of people in this thread who are complaining about what they've heard in an advert.

Maybe not so much peculiar as apposite. You don't have to listen to them. It is your own fault if you do.

 

[MochaSoul]

Every now and then I think I may be missing out on a telly. Thanks everyone!

Maybe not so much peculiar as apposite. You don't have to listen to them. It is your own fault if you do.

Eh? How is it apposite? Apposite means relevant.
If you think it's relevant to say no one listens to adverts in a thread where quite a lot of people are complaining about things they've heard in an advert, then I do think that is peculiar.
You can be surprised that so many people do listen to adverts, of course. You can be scornful of the people who do listen. And you'll get no argument from me that anyone who has no interest in listening to adverts ought to switch the sound off; but seeing as this thread is all about complaining about adverts, turning the sound off when they're on would mean cutting off a rich seam of ranting for this thread.

Fathers Day is a right cunt, I keep thinking I should just find some random old bloke and take him out for a pint

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Surely nobody leaves the mute button unpressed when the adverts are on.

It takes me all my time to find the remote never mind the mute button!

 

[Sirena]

Cortana?

 

[Chick Webb]

Cortana?

It annoys my sister a lot that no one says please or thank you to Cortana.

Oh God, that McDonald's ad with the couple on an awkward date, who say goodbye then by wonderful chance meet again later at the counter of the local McD

Just so fucking shit

 

[stavros]

I have no problem with the message of the advert, but whenever I see this Samaritans poster I always think of Paul Whitehouse doing his dreadful character insurance ads.

 

[May Kasahara]

Yes, me too! Quite disconcerting.

 

[May Kasahara]

So disconcerting I posted it twice.

 

[zoooo]

That hotels/holiday ad where a dog barks the word 'book'. Over and over. At an incredibly infuriating volume. I want to kill everyone.

(Not the dog, it's not his stupid fault.)

 

[stavros]

Well it's Tour de France time again, so ITV4 put the same ads in every single fecking break. I've managed to forget which ones they are, but undoubtedly over the next three weeks they'll get into my head with the subtlety of swallowing a cluster bomb.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Cortana?

That was so bad I had to watch it twice. So painful.

 

[Gingerman]

That ad for some yogurt with that beardie bloke shouting out that he's full and also the one where the guy is constantly checking his bank account singing that stupid song "Today I'll buy my kids a treat, andI'llmakefriends witheveryoneImeet..."

 

[twentythreedom]

As a general rule, the higher the channel number the worse the average quality of advert.

Eww, there's one of those Facebook 'Friends' ads on They are fucking awful

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Oh God, that McDonald's ad with the couple on an awkward date, who say goodbye then by wonderful chance meet again later at the counter of the local McD

Just so fucking shit

Ugh, saw that last night. I guess they just make this drivel so the name sticks in the back of your head.

 

[DotCommunist]

the safestyle uk windows man has really sold out

 

[twentythreedom]

Ooooff!! Motherfucker

Just saw the McDonald's Shit Date advert directly followed by Best Dad Scarf

Beat that

 

[xes]

Has anyone seen the Church of Scientology advert?

 

[stavros]

During the TdF highlights, Mo Farah was voicing an advert for some kind of foodstuff, which seemed a little odd at 7:30 given it's Ramadan at the moment (I don't know whether he observes it or not).

 

[NoXion]

Got to be just for the dough..

He must really knead it.

Sorry.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Fame at last! I have some music on a new ad.
Only airs in the us though.

 

[ice-is-forming]

how cool! your music is on the conner mcgregor ad!

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I had no idea who he was. Spotted his PIC on a Facebook post just last week. I thought he was just some actor.

Oh God, I hope he wins, my ad won't be so cool or be played so much if he gets beaten to a pulp.
Royaltys man!

On face level Katie Price and Piers Morgan's adverts make me smile, however buying a lotto ticket will not reduce the chances of their dystopian viions of the future happening. And I presume they go paid for the adverts ... giving them capital to invest in making it happen

 

[AverageJoe]

Is that you? I fucking LOVE it. you should work with my mates GenGrave. I think that would be a double bill worth paying double for.

 

[Ted Striker]

Is there a thread for advert that bring the lols? I feel ashamed to admit one does it for me every time...
