TV Ads You Hate

[Rita Chevrolet]

Obviously the channels I watch are targeted by the funeral and life insurance plans, the wheelchair & mobility aids, the walk-in baths and ready-meals (including poxy sticky-toffee-pudding). One ad break just contained all this stuff, not a single Just Eat or anything else.
Jeez I must be OLD!!

In the US you get Viagra and incontinence products advertised.

Simba mattress. For a cool deep sound sleep in a sexy husky welsh accent.
It's a frigging mattress.

I might add that with Her breathing all sexy over a mattress FGS she gets the alliteration all wrong.
Its the "Titanium aerocoil (pause) springs........." bit and it drives me mad!!!! Gawd I have turned into the Grammar Police

Life insurance ads are in a league of their own aren't they?

One I saw last night was a woman driving about. She stops, gets out in the rain and stands there getting drenched, then she drives off next to be seen wading through floodwaters, onwards through magnificent countryside seen from a drone to pitch up at a cabin on a hillside where there are kids running about with a dog in the long grass who run to her eagerly. The strange thing is that since she got caught in that acid rainshower she has aged forty years, her hair is now grey and she's wrinkled!
Errrrm what is this supposed to be telling us? Acid rain is age-ing? Don't wade about in floodwater? Just weird!

I hate the magnum ice cream adverts. The super loud sound of someone crunching into the chocolate the sound of people eating sets my nerves on edge!

I have no idea why I laughed - I'm seeing the same adverts!

Morrisons wonky range - why 8s everything in plastic?

exactly, the best thing about home workouts is not having to deal with that very OT but I have limited space and was thinking of buying a fold up treadmill that would fit into my wardrobe, has anyone ever bought one?

Nationwide cringey awful poems
Go compare - who cares
ABC Mouse
Any kids toy advert as my kid gets excited and shouts “mummy I want that at” all of them

and that bird's striped trousers - is she channeling a pirate or what?

Verisure have released another dreadful one onto the realm recruited again from the School of Cardboard Actors. This one is two hipster young Dads, one recommending the other get his brood Verisure alarms to ensure they are safe at home. Jeez its grim

I was genuinely shocked that they advertise prescription drugs on American TV, and actually encourage you to ask your doctor for certain drugs!

The adverts are hilarious though. It's always a soothing voice going on about the new miracle drug for migraines/cancer/schizophrenia, and images of happy people arranging flowers and playing with their grandkids. The happy imagines continue while they read out a list of utterly horrific side effects. "You may be at increased risk of suicide. You may suffer hair loss, shortness of breath, or bleeding from your anus..."

And then the next advert will be for a law firm "if you've been affected by drug X, call us today and sue."

America is awesome.

My friend was talking about American health adverts and said they literally list every single side effect on the advert. I watched one the other day and was speechless

The Colgate advert! How is that advertising toothpaste!!

 

[Red hair dont care]

Just seen it, the Ford Mustang advert. Too much crap to advertise a car. Just so the car

I hate them especially the one with the fast Talking. American guy who is so up himself while that bloody woman sweats buckets making me feel sick.

Have you ever read an American magazine? Neither have I….still looking for an actual article among the 4 page drug adverts

That Cadbury advert with that dreary kid “I’d like a bar of chocolate please”. Name me 1 shop keeper that would let a kid pay for that with a toy unicorn .

Many years ago I used to subscribe to Vogue but had to stop due to the numerous adverts.
