TV ads you hate

[DouglasReynholm]

you know the magazine part works where you buy a magazine and you can build a plastic Aston Martin in 18 months
They are moving up market ad on todays TV for a metal model of a Uboat
The cost is shown for about 2 seconds
35 parts at £50 each (inc p&p) thats £1750 !
How many people is this aimed at ?

Don't you mean 35 parts at £5, £175?

Yeah  first issue usually sells for a low price of £1:99 then the rest of the issues sell for £9:99 . It takes about 200 issues to complete the model . It works out cheaper to buy the real thing. 
How many people is this aimed at ?  Idiots I would imagine

The real thing? Oh, if it is a real U-Boat £1,750 is great value! Wunderbar!

it was 35 parts at £45+£5 p&p - admittedly metal not plastic and the first issue was cheaper £17-50 !

I guess people get their money's worth from actually putting the thing together.  Think of it as a very slow jigsaw.

Ahh, so it's a baked beans advert, I turn it over every time it comes on so I never got as far as what it was for.

Adverts for bingo games…how thick are their target audience if that shit encourages them to buy the product.

[mr.bluesky]

The latest advert for Walkers crisps with David Beckham and Thierry Henry. Both have made millions playing football so why the fuck do they need to advertise crisps. It can't be that they need the money.

The car advert where the voiceover says "can we skip to the good part?"

No but brands want recognisable “celebs” fronting their advertising campaigns.

I hated that Domino's yodelling advert, but now it makes me laugh.

I was following a delivery guy on a moped, I had an irrational desire to stop next to him, wind down the window and yodel at him

True but they could have made a better advert than that.

The latest advert for The British Heart Foundation Lottery with the smug git fronting it.

I think the new McDonald's advert (the one that features two solid minutes of humming with a half chewed Big Mac in some blokes mouth) has leapt to the top spot of current most annoying ad.

Octismart mattress. And any other mattress  advert early in the morning they normally come on,and they go on and on and on

The new compare the meerkat with them sing “ I feel like Nero”. I used to quite like these when they very first started but now they just irritate me. Enough is enough with it now.

The RSPCA ad telling me not to step on snails. Stick to protecting animals that matter FFS.

Personal experience with the RSPCA I can tell you that they’re not quite as caring as they say they are. I once found a dog that had been tied to a lamppost and left and was in distress. When I rang them they refused to come out to collect it. When I stated it needed help they just said to me to take it home myself. I couldn’t do that so in the end took it to a local vet who kindly looked after it. They wouldn’t even come out to see if it was chipped. Terrible they were.

That was my experience with an injured cat when I contacted them, basically take it to a vet yourself 

Someone at work when I told them what happened said they are fucking useless and only interested in the "Big" stories like a seal washed up on a popular beach etc where they can get the TV cameras and press down to document it and then say to the whole world "Look how amazing we are, give us a donation"

The new andrex advert 'get comfortable' where the woman farts in the office  then takes her own loo roll off her shelf and gets up to walk to the loo, picks up some great big book and does the slow walk, stops at the loo door, snifs the loo roll defiantly and looks around to see the whole office watching her go in.

Absolutely fucking ridiculous advert with some stupid tag line of 40 something % of us are not comfortable taking a poo at work

So you don't offer Hardsports then? Not something I'm into either.

It is shite and I hadn't seen it until now. And I wish I still hadn't. External Link/Members Only

I do wish service providers would post more here though.

If it hadn't been for the puppy under her desk I'd have been none the wiser, now that's marketing for you
