Very annoying and insulting. And they play over and over. Some are just plain stupid. How can some companies think you would buy their product after seeing them.

Adverts are there for a reason. they encourage us to buy a product and television is one of the best forms of communicating that to the public!!
If you notice, the volume on your TV actually increases during a commercial, that is because we all get up to use the toilet or make a cup of tea or something, and they still want us to hear.
However........... there are certain adverts that drive me nuts!
The ones where the 'presenter' shouts at you, or it doesn't make sense like the perfume adverts. I find these rude and sometimes insulting.
I have brought products because of the advertising on the TV so it isn't all bad.
I tend to just play couch commando when the adverts come on these days though.

yes, they are. my two least favorites are those annoying commercials where they SCREAM AT YOU about some great furniture sale going on THIS WEEKEND ONLY! like yelling at me is going to get me to spend my money on some plywood crap. the other annoying ones are the commercials for tampons. i mean, they really don't need to advertise that. women will buy them regardless...we have to. i hate election season, too. same ole mud-slinging all the time. christmas commercials are also annoying. and any old navy commercials.
oh, and those girls gone wild ones drive me nuts, too! they have a guys gone wild now, also. what a joke. and how about those late night ones-must be 18 and over-call now to talk to hot chicks...or text-flirting? seriously...
guess that's more than two. oh well. i hate commercials

They are not annoying... They are insulting..
They assume that if they show me a pretty female I will buy something I have no use for.
'If you by this every loose gal in your hood will come a running."
They want me to tell my Dr. what to prescribe.
"Have herpes? Its ok and your partner won't mind either. Just buy this." "Oh by the way its side effects include intestinal cramping and anal leakage."
They assume that their comedy writers are funny.
'HA HA HA... HO HO HO... Not buy this product so you too can be as funny as we are."
SUV's are the worse... Lets review...
They think Iam gona spend 2 years of my total income (including interest on the loan and insurance) and go up in the mountains and go BLASTING through mud, snow, over rocks, along brush choked trails. And basically beat the hell out of it.
I have a SUV but it was built in 1993. Paid $4,000 for it and I don't give a rats tail where I take it.
Have we had enough of sales?
Year end sale. Year beginning sale. Year middle sale. Going out of business sale. Getting into business sale. We lost our lease sale. We are loosing our a$s sale. I have just been arrested for back taxes sale. My wife is leaving me sale. My mistress is leaving me sale. My wife’s boyfriend is leaving me and moving in with my mistress sale.
I could go on but I think you see my point. They all require me to LEAP out of bed at that very moment, get dressed, explain to my mistress, wife, or her boyfriend that I simply must attend this "before Armageddon" sale.
And PLEASE don't get me started on the ads of Sat. morning with the cross hairs directly on my child.
They are all insulting...

Not only a big fat YES! I will either mute it or switch the channel on the more annoying ones.I hate any commercial that is aimed at making us look like we have low IQ's.We are not stupid but some commercials make me grab the remote and tune them out.

It's not the Ads which are annowying, rather its the timing and the number of times they are aired and for the duration for which they are aired is annoying leading to people hating advertisements.

No. Everyone has to do business. TV ads are often cleaver and slick. I enjoy them. Some can be annoying, but like people, you just have to deal with them.
