Which TV ads do you mute/switch over from/ignore the most, and why?

Question

For me it's:

1. That retard singing like a five year old on the mobile phone ad (whosever it is) where you can over-run your credit limit.
2. The anti-smoking ad that blatantly advocates fuel pollution, plastic waste in landfills, and blown litter caused by putting cigarettes and packets through a bark shredder.

Answer 1

I'm a grumpy old man who hates pretty much everything but here's a few...

1.Picture Loans. The idiot with the football and the kid shouting for the scooter are equally annoying. Ocean Finance are no better.
2. Admiral Car Insurance. Smug-looking tw@t with a parrot on his shoulder. Not sure which one's the most irritating.
3. Senokot. "Go on, enjoy your day" Dreadful. Just dreadful.
4. Safestyle UK. No comment required.
5. Those effin' Pimm's adverts. "It's Pimm's o'clock!" No it ruddy isn't pal!
6. Orbit Chewing Gum. Idiots punching fresh air on station platforms - wtf?
7. That Rice Krispies ad with the little lass and her mum. "No, that one's pop". Takes cheesy to staggering new lows.
8. Air Freshener with the little kid on the toilet shouting "It's all gone..." For a start, he's run out of air freshener and not toilet roll so why do a (highly accurate) drawing? And why get back on the toilet afterwards? Unless he had REALLY long arms and could reach under the door from where he was.

And not forgetting those dreaded words that are guaranteed to have me reaching for the mute button: "HI!!! I'M BARRY SCOTT...!!"

Answer 2

It has to Sheila's Wheels for me and all the ones from the loan sharks - Picture loans especially annoys me.
Cillit Bang, I don't understand why the guy has to shout all through the ad.
There are loads of them really, it would be easier if you asked which ads don't make me press the mute button.

Answer 3

Oh i hate that mobile phone one as well.

Not sure if it's still showing at the moment, but the Frosties ones with that annoying boy singing 'They're gonna taste greeeaaaat, they're gonna taste greaaaaaat'

They made words sound stupid just so they'd rhyme with great- like pirAte...

Bet you that boy got a right slagging at school after doing those ads!!

Answer 4

I hate the one where the man is on the phone to an insurance company (cant remeber which) and he gets a really good quote and takes the paint roller from his wife jumps in the air and rolls it up the wall, that one drives me mad!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and i have just remembered another, picture loans where the person on the phone asks their partner the loan amount they want, as if you would't discuss it before hand!!

Answer 5

A1 steak sauce add where the man licks the hot grill because a drop of sauce fell on the grill. Plus the one where the men jump up several times to help the last drop of sauce come out.

Answer 6

Picture Loans, she shouts to the kids, then mouths 25,ooo to her husband with her hand over the phone, then shouts at the kids again, Barry Scott, Cillit Bang , gets on my nerves,

Answer 7

I'm on a healthy eating plan and its going great, I sit through my partner eating fish & chips and loads of smelly yummy things with no problem but Oooh, those adverts for M&S food get my saliva glands dripping, (I JUST CAN"T WATCH.)

Answer 8

The speed limit one where the car hits the little girl i cant watch that one! Also the cilit bang adverts! Any loan/debt/compensation adverts!

Answer 9

I hate the one about replacement doors and windows, where this oaf with the loudest voice say, "I said, you buy one, you get one free" over and over again. The advert appeals to the lowest common denominator and I switch channels the minute it comes on
