    I'll start it off with perfume ads.

      All of them. Most of the time I have no idea what the hell they're peddling it's just a jumbled mess of imagery and noise

        I love all the Meercat ones and am okay with ones with the Welsh opera singer Wynn Evans.

          There's a new craze for 'plant based' products at the moment. Not the plant based as in fruit and veg, but basically a more marketing friendly way of saying 'vegan, but processed to the extent it is completely unrecognisable'.

          One series of adverts features kids trying to guilt trip and shame their parents into choosing such severely processed products, like the adults are incapable of making their own decisions.

            That's the one we dislike the most and why I put it first. We actually turn to another station when it's on.

                The think with ads are they are designed to make you remember them.
                The fact you hate the ad is irrelevant, just as long as you remember it.;)

                  Like that Stelios geezer from easyJet once said, bad publicity is free advertising.

                  I know the one you mean. I actually don't find it annoying, I just find it amusing. Ever since I saw Bill Bailey on TV making fun of perfume adverts, followed by his Yorkshire pie advert in the style of a perfume ad, but with a heavily exaggerated Yorkshire accent, and about pies, perfume ads just amuse me.

                  I don't really agree with that and Mrs S certainly doesn't! I haven't the faintest what it is advertising but Mrs Shiney says that she would not buy the product under any circumstances.

                  Tell that to Gerald Ratner! :roflol:

                  Everyone to their own opinion. :noidea: I just find the inane repetition extremely annoying. :blue thumb:

                      Can't say I have ever noticed either of those adverts. Nor the daisy one. I hardly watch the telly these days and can't think of an advert that annoys me nor one that I like. Maybe I only watch BBC these days, it's not something I notice.

                        Most of them wind me up these days, but one that really gets on my **** is the "dolmeo mattress topper" mostly on some of the slightly different channels further up the scale, it just goes on forever and is often shown twice in a row.

                          I hardly ever watch the tv so I don't see adverts. When I do watch something I press the mute button in the commercial breaks.
                          I've blocked them on my computer.
