Adverts that drive you mad

[blue b4 the moon]

Well; I guess marketing men will point to the fact that we are aware of the ad, and the product it's promoting, as proof that it's working.

Awareness that won't translate into £££'s and turns people off doesn't seem a progressive business strategy to me.

 

[mancboy]

All of the ones where people are having a conversation about their funerals or their alarms or their windows its like whoever came up with those have never heard humans speak to each other.

Those awnings ads that seem to be popular at the moment. The one where the kid is gawping up as the awning opens/closes (can't remember which). It's an awning, it's not the mother ship from Close en-fucking-counters landing in your back garden.

What the actual fuck?

The one where the kid in school wants a crap and he’s there waving a toilet roll as all the class cheers ffs

 

[Tuearts right boot]

If you think about some of the adverts/public information films over the years, we've had -

• Learn to swim - Rolf Harris
• Save water - Stuart Hall
• Clunk, click - Jimmy Saville

and we even had Fred Talbot telling us the weather, no wonder we're all fucked up.

I can live with Stuart Hall saving water but......Rolf Harris in a swimming pool full of kids and Jimmy Saville 'struggling' to put a seat belt on some poor unsuspecting child just beggars belief.

That advert for Dusk (whoever they are).

“Dusk sayin’”

Makes my skin itch that line.

Designed to mildly shock and it succeeds. Horrible to watch but effective.

 

[TinFoilHat]

"Side effects include death..."

Pretty big one that for me.

Fucking US drug adverts.

 

[BlueRodent]

That "comedy on Audible" ad; "bing bong, exsqueeze me" abomination.

Makes me want to ram that twat's head down the nearest unflushed toilet, particularly the bit at the end where he turns to the camera and proclaims "It is funny!". No it isn't you absolute fucktard!!

Not keen on it then?

The talksport bet app add. I inadvertently know every word to it, and have even rubbed a bit of funk on it.

It will not leave my head.

 

[Man-chester copperpot]

Thought i would catch up on the days news.

This is the M.E.N. Website (aka the advert website) which greated me

It’s beyond a fucking joke.
Even had to chuck something about the Rags in….

 

[hammocity]

BET MGM with that insufferable bollox C Rock.

Gambling, advertising and the talentless all in one blipvert.

Eurgh.

Yep, and never bet with these charlatans, they take your cash but are very quick to stop you withdrawing, avoid.

 

[jimharri]

Lebara seem to have mastered the knack of making dreadful adverts. There was Sophie from Stockport, then those two checkout girls. Is there a new one out? I was in another room, and only heard what I think was one.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

There’s one with two bints on deckchairs trying to out do each other.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Got say these ads are working brilliantly for the agencies if they get every one talking.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

There are an increasing number of ads for different companies telling you what a good idea it is to pay for your funeral in advance, I wonder how many will still be around when the time comes to pay up?

No one. They’ll be dead…

 

[Double R]

Came here to mention that one. I dont want to see an advert of some kid having a follow through while Im having my dinner.
