Adverts you hate #3

😂 this is me every ad break - I can't bear them. The sound chops and changes every 2 seconds, they sing at you, adverts are all just so annoying - that Corsodyl mouthwash ad where the woman appears in the mirror and then they both scream at each other is the absolute worst ad at the moment, but they are all awful 😖
There's something happening with volume at the moment; screeching adverts, deafening quizzes, strident soap operas, and Taskmaster making up for no longer being funny by shouting all the time. Do they think it's engaging their audience because if so they're wrong.

It's like bars that blare their music onto the street, doesn't entice me to go in (or anyone else it seems as when I peer in they're almost always empty so why do they persist?) And buskers with amplification, drives me mad. Warbling at 100decibels! It's all too loud!

Any advert that shouts or patronises = I make mental note to boycott their services/products.

tit cakes in a tub and the cakes look basic with like a full bourbon on top and they are usually so loud and we are scrambling to turn it down so the kids don't get woken up

It's because the expectation is now that people will also be on their phones whilst watching - they're aimed at getting you to look up.

It’s also why they keep overexplaining things and rehashing the plot in a series. If you’re paying attention, it feels like they think we’re stupid.

I have no idea what it’s even for but that one where the dog says “what doing?”

There is a special circle in cringe hell for people who do voices for animals and make them speak cutesy idiot language.

I don’t hate the advert and I know I’m probably over thinking it but the Tetley ad where the nervous guy walks over to the woman (who he doesn’t know) in the cafe and said he thought she looked like she could do with a drink and hands over a tea he’s purchased for her

It’s probably not a good idea to drink something some random guy has just given you especially with the warnings over spikings

I've had this exact same thought, if it happened IRL it would be creepy. Also what if you say no? The guy who has already overstepped a boundary has a boiling hot liquid to hand.

I refuse to pay for YouTube Premium and I'm being punished by seeing this advert every single time I open the app.
Paying for YouTube Premium (the Lite version anyway) has honestly changed my life when it comes to YouTube.

Now I only have to suffer NowTV showing me the same one advert every ad break for about a week at a time before it changes to another one.

Because right not NowTV is making me lose my mind to that bloody Northern trains advert.

Also a bit weird to use that kind of advert when as you and another poster have said spiking/male on female violence etc is being so widely talked about and one of the biggest/most popular/effective ways to discuss grape and sexual violence is the using the 'cup of tea' method.

I know I'm thinking too in-depth about a teabag advert and I'm not upset or offended or triggered or anything, but the whole thing is just very weird and doesn't advertise the product well.

Another one who happily pays YT premium. I cancelled my TV licence and do most of my viewing on YouTube now. I don't watch any live TV. I find YouTube much more value for money and it's great not having adverts. I get a bit irritated by the sponsored ads (you really need this supplement!) but ff through them.
