What TV adverts really annoy you ?

[Dave Mac]

So I have the ability to shut out most things that are present in the room that are of no interest. Alas some tv adverts do filter through and these are what annoy me, the all singing car advert that shows a vehicle built in Britain but on the advert is left hand drive and in small print states some features not available in this country (which country we don’t buy lhd vehicles here normally).
The super food product that’s a best seller now has a new improved recipe and tastes even better, (they found a cheaper way to make it and it taste different).
When did pets suddenly decide their food had to look better than mine?
So what makes you grip your ring in the advertising world?

Definitely 'French' car ads.....fake French accents, left hand drive cars......can't be bothered to make a UK specific ad.....

 

[Pete C]

Pretentious perfume ads, mainly shown before Xmas.

 

[Jay586]

Merc do that with adverts too, show full-leather or something that's not available in the UK. Fake Swedish accents aren't great either for Volvo.

The Verisure ads manage to make everyone in them look as thick as mince...

 

[Bargy62]

ads for funeral plans that state
if you stop paying you get f all and you may end up paying in more than the plans worth
and loan ads with an APR of 1250%
All preying on the gullible

 

[JOG]

Building some model or other….,100 issues required at £11.99 per issue!

 

[RichDavies82]

Sofa ads! If I bought a sofa for £1200 and two weeks later it was double discounted to £299 on a bloody bank holiday, I’d be straight back there with the sofa demanding £901 back!

The pathetic EE ADVERT with Kevin bacon landing an aircraft from your living room GET REAL

 

[La Dodgy Vita]

Adverts for mattresses.
Surely for every pound spent on a mattress these days 99p must go back into advertising.

Also ads that contain impossibly cheery / condescending voiceovers e.g. the Omaze ones

 

[Morris67]

Yeah and her non stop cheesy sickly smile

 

[Loz]

British Seniors and those Verisure alarms

 

[Sackmycook]

Any car advert with the cheat Thierry Henry in it.....

With me it’s anything bloody french!

I can't remember the last time we turned our TV on, it certainly wasn't this year, thanks all for reminding me why!

 

[Peatey]

Every single advert going annoys me

I record everything then fast forward when they come on and get 15mins of my life back for every hour

I can assure you, neither me or the missus looks like that when we wake up following a night on our pocket sprung, memory foam, breathable, hot and cold mattress without a sheet on!

And no pillow cases and brand new Jim jams ( I’m not allowed to wear mine in case I’m taken into hospital they need to be clean ready) not sure what she has planned for me.

 

[Murdoch]

ALL adverts on subscription based channels - you pay for the channel, then get endless adverts too

 

[Chippie1]

Some ones knocking at the door! You know the advert!! Gets stuck in my head once I’ve heard it
