[Closed] Of all the ads that sicken my piss.......

who is he?

Who is he ? I dont recognize him either

I knew there was a reason I'm paying for Netflix....

I thought it was just some random model.

who is he?

He's no one. As far as I'm aware. He's just an avatar for people who want to emulate the kind of success they see on Geordie Shore and TOWIE etc.

I feel like putting my boot through the TV every time Peter ****ing Andre pops up.

That's why C U next Tuesday's go to Iceland. 👿

Of all time:

****!

And this one.
I want this, I want that, bleaty, whiny, self centred moany cow.

They deserve each other.

I think he plays rugby football

i dislike all car adverts. however they do appear to make life seem perfect...... 😀

Ads for alcohol....

Adverts don't work on me, I've watched that clip to see what your'e on about but can't actually remember what it was for!
The bloke in it didn't have any 'effect' on me either.

They're just ads you don't like. This advert is properly offensive...

Hey everyone, there was a war, & it wasn't that horrible because there were some truces at Christmas... & oh yeah buy your shopping from us.

Only 16 million dead...but hey 'Live Well For Less'.

Um, that's just an advert you don't like. I don't actually find it offensive.

You don't find a supermarket trying to get you to spend your money with them by using an event that wasted the lives of 16 million people offensive?

G Butler and H Laurie the ones male grooming products aarrgghh

Gotta agree with ya there PJ..
It's awful.

I don't understand perfume adverts. You have no idea if it stinks like dead cat and piss but here's an extravagant advert to convince you of something you can't verify while sat on you're arse watching it.

In principal, I think that WW1 is a poor choice of subject matter for an advert yes, in principal. But in terms of execution it's relatively respectful and certainly doesn't glorify war.

I find this deeply offensive

The glorification and glamorization of actual current conflict, even going so far as to ad "my proudest day ever". And what's more it insults the viewers intelligence by implying that no insurgents were harmed. It apes the style of on board footage we've all seen where people are splattered all over the desert.

Um, that's just an advert you don't like. I don't actually find it offensive.

You probably don't find it offensive because you haven't thought about the way a supermarket has reduced a horrific war down to a hand shake and a bar of chocolate.

You sir are a marketing departments wet dream.

Not seen that aftershave ad until now, but God does that blokes face need a bloody good slap. He looks more smug than that Dr Christian on 'let's gets all our weird shaped penis' out on tv' show.

Sorry? Read the thread title, read my comment, then come back to me.

[i][b]STEALTH EDIT[/b][/i]
I don't find the Sainsburys advert offensive because I don't find it offensive. When I see that advert I think about how awful that situation was, the reality that both characters will likely die the next day, and the horrible futility of the situation those men were in. I don't think " I must pop down to Sainsburys and get some chocolate and a 6 pack of coke".

It's not as if they have Peter Andre in there catching swiss rolls fired from German mortars or Ant and Dec tucking into their tasty Waitrose rations.

As a Daily Mail banner headline, yes it's morally dubious. But I don't find it offensive.

Sorry? Read the thread title, read my comment, then come back to me.

Done both. My point still stands.

Edit: Nice stealth edit!

That whisky one with the Gerry Adams lookalike.
Or any from BT that implies they aren't a total bunch of ****s.

Edit. That sainsburys one should be pulled.

Don't worry, Audi can try to sell you a car courtesy of singletrack.

And try and find out where you live in the process.

i don't have a digibox any more. am not missing it tbh 🙂

I don't understand perfume adverts.

No, but ad agencies do. They are associating an image with branding, which then helps to create a positive feeling when you smell the stuff - even though they are always just strangely pungent chemical cocktails.

Advertising is visual cancer.

OP the add may upset you but you ever smelt it?
Girls and men alike love it 😉

Now this advert is offensive...NSFW...Geordie Christmas.

Come here Pet.

Why tf does anyone watch adverts? If you have to watch live TV pause the picture and talk to your wife or surf the web or you know anything else. Adverts just rot your brain.

Not everyone has the technology to pause and fast forward tv.
I've got a DVB telly. That's all. Signal comes from a transmitter to my arial.
No fancy box so I have no choice but to watch the ads.

eugh that is bloody awful... and Kanye west over it all is like icing a turd with vomit.

No idea what the advert is for, but that black and white one where Scarlett Johansson gets picked up in a fancy car by Matthew McConaughey. I keep catching it and it is further winding me up every time I hear:

Matthew: I like your dress
Scarlett: It likes you back
me: What. Does. That. Mean?

Have you seen the Victoria biscuits one? With all the supposedly "Sweeeet" animals coming out of the tin? Maybe not offensive, but it's proper "WTF?!"
Just freaky and in no way makes me want to eat biscuits.

Also, agree on the Iceland ones. I once bought a salt and pepper grinder set in there. Never going in there again!

jamiep

It's slang for do me up the wrong un.

I react even more strongly to TV adverts....so I don't have a telly.

Well, it's the other way around, I don't have a telly, and haven't for ages, so now when I see an advert I am astonished by the shoutyness of it.

Anyway, I gather that soon I won't have to see such things anymore. And not because I'm turning into a freeloader.....

Leaves out the bit about them selling off your business debt to a firm charmingly called 'Cerberus' at the first sign of trouble.

Or this one. Who exactly is that aimed at?

who wanna smell like other independent free-willed individuals

*well TBH its probably only mediocre can't remember the last [i]good[/i] program I watched live.

D0NK

now when I see an advert I am astonished by the shoutyness of it.

the fact that the volume ramps up 5db during the ads is bloody annoying

This is...........GRRRRRRRRRRRRR....No .....words.

Smug tosser with bad tattoos and chiseled abs copes with fame, succeeds at "sport" and gets the girls despite no discernible talent.

That's generally how it works, IME. 😆

The Nespresso ads with clooney are just awful.

Morally cynical is how I'd describe the Sainsburys ad.

However, if the RBL are happy to be associated with it, then I'm in no position to get wound up over it. They represent the people who properly have a right to comment on it. Not some shouty people on the internet.

'Elite Singles' so cringe worthy I want to tear my own face off when I see it -

I basically can't stand arrogant ****ers telling other arrogant ****ers they should use them, and not anyone someone working class might use.

I'd go with that assessment. Don't think RBL have sole opinion-forming rights though, especially as they have a financial interest in the success of the campaign. Not going to get wound up over it - just won't be shopping in Sainsbury's.

I'll just throw this one into the mix, now I remember it:

Advertising is visual cancer.

That's a bit strong, don't you think?

Anyway. The worst thing in your life is a TV ad? 😯

lot's of Ad's are coblers and easy enough to find issue with if you look hard enough.

The message in this one is great:

I call it Muller-licious

'Elite Singles' so cringe worthy I want to tear my own face off when I see it -

Ooooh, oooh - no this is probably worse...
[img] [/img]

Damn - I can't find the other one - you know the REALLY funny one that STW has carried for a while with the cute girl and the 2002-stylee round helmet that ruins the whole thing and especially funny considering what site we're one. Can anyone post it, it has me in stitches everytime.

I don't understand perfume adverts. You have no idea if it stinks like dead cat and piss but here's an extravagant advert to convince you of something you can't verify while sat on you're arse watching it.

Simple, they put on an advert with Keira Knightly and a classic Ducatti. It's basicly blackmail, buy our perfume or we'll stop showing you this.

Oh yeah, adverts - it's almost worth the sky monthly fee to get rid of them.

I don't understand perfume adverts.

It's just like any other advert.

Here is a lifestyle filled with supermodels / lambourghinis / lumberjacks / insert-relevant-dream-here, it can all be yours* - if you buy this bottle of smelly stuff.

* actually, sorry, it can't, but never mind, maybe next time.

Oh yeah, adverts - it's almost worth the sky monthly fee to get rid of them.

No it's not, there's more adverts on Sky than there is on ITV!

This. It's not the only reason I'll not have Sky in my house, but it's a damn good one.

WTAF are you paying for?!?

Can't say that adverts annoy me very much in general but I would like that woman in the Trivago advert on page one to fall off her balcony and drown. Also, that Bleu de Chanel has to be the worst offender in the ****y perfume adverts.

These threads are always good value for the Advertising-Effectiveness-Deniers...

WTAF are you paying for?!?

broadband, phone, hdtv recorder thingy, tv content

feel free to not buy it, etc.

Not a tv ad but I saw this in the cinema a few years back

Really a very effective ad. Ok, more a public service message but it was played in between ads for whatever tosh.

Anyone seen the Breitling one with the two 'fighter pilots'? I almost had to rub my eyes to believe it'd actually happened in from of me.

broadband, phone, hdtv recorder thingy, tv content

That's a bundle. Still, if I was going to have a pay-for-tv service, I would want it to NOT have adverts, myself.

And as you point out, I do indeed feel free not to.

Oh, and speaking of which - I HAVE A P [EEEEEEEEEEEE].

Get in.

Those Boddies adverts were great!
An excellent pisstake.

Not seen the Elite Singles/Voyage Privee/Prime Location ads before.
They make me want to dissect live kittens.

The bit in the prime location that says 'this is your reward for missing the school play' - Surely a more approppriate reward for that would be a child with anxiety and a bus load of pramface-silent-tea.

if the RBL are happy to be associated with it, then I'm in no position to get wound up over it. They represent the people who properly have a right to comment on it. Not some shouty people on the internet.

I know it's all smug and everything - but since getting rid of the TV and getting a projector to watch Netflix/downloads etc - adverts just seem utterly bizarre and pathetic.

What's the actual message here? This Audi is the car to buy if you're into unnecessary, convoluted and stealthy gramophone destruction? Meh...

I think the Audi one is a response to this Jaguar one:

Doesn't make it right though, in fact it annoyed me more!

Ok konabunny, if you want to intellectual about it, **** off!

I know it's all smug and everything - but since getting rid of the TV and getting a projector to watch Netflix/downloads etc - adverts just seem utterly bizarre and pathetic.

Yep.

That new payday loans advert with woman walking along, makes me furious that these vultures are allowed to operate.

We just mute them when they come on. The Muller (I think?) ones with that vacuous bint off the telly, where she ends up with a cute and adorable splodge of yoghurt on nose as if to accentuate how cute, adorable and buttonlike it is, can get [i]right[/i] to f- as well. Oh,a and that stupid advert for fat free yoghurt where the two other vacuous bints turn out to be centaurs- wtf?

Last time I tried to watch something on terrestrial commercial TV at prime time, I counted 5 minutes of adverts in every 15 minutes of telly. A friend tells me this is roughly the ratio you get when you pay for SKY as well.

So 1/3 of your viewing time consists of people trying to sell you stuff.

And of course, if this is a documentary, they have to spend a couple of minute reminding you what went on before the commercial break.

All the gambling ads are awful.

The grey, alcoholic looking couple in their dingy, grey flat who find roulette chips in the freezer etc being the most depressing.

[i]A friend tells me this is roughly the ratio you get when you pay for SKY as well.[/i]

You know what really really bugs me - channels you pay extra for and EVEN BOX OFFICE events also show loads of ads! As if they aren't making enough money out of the subscriptions. But what can you do about it eh?

I find the channel 'idents' as annoying as the adverts tbh.

I don't want to be constantly reminded which channel I'm watching, I just want to watch the bloody programme!

At least you can brew up during the adverts.........

At least you can [s]brew [/s] skin up during the adverts.........
FIFY

If you ever watch anything on tv in Austria the ad breaks are about 15 minutes long.
They also come on about 5 minutes after whatever your watching has started.

[i]I find the channel 'idents' as annoying as the adverts tbh.
[/i]

Argh! And the "this programme is sponsored by.." relatively new phenomenon but my lord how annoying are they?! The same words about the same damn Lexus/perfume/film/etc before and after every ad break. Irritating as shit.

The bit in the prime location that says 'this is your reward for missing the school play'

Niiiiice.
