In the back of her dad's car singing to some terrible disco racket while the AA man fixes his car. God Almighty, roll on death - give me a rest! I agree - it is awful !!!

FLY2 10,108 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 A good education was wasted on these so called intelligencia who devised these infantile adverts. In retrospect, drowning at birth was the solution ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,296 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Apart from the occasional one that is genuinely funny or clever most of them are inane rubbish and more likely to have me avoid the product or the store than buy. The three worst things about ads on TV here are :- Repeating the same ad two or three times in the same break The increase in volume of some of the ads On the odd occasion when I see something that I may be interested in they do not tell you the price or where their store is and just refer you to a website - as if.

Brew 5,418 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 They have discovered that the more reaction it engenders the more memorable it is - and that's really the whole point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,296 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 No doubt about that Brew, but in my case the reaction is never to buy their bloody product ever again. In many cases the ads are so weird that I actually struggle to work out what it is that they are advertising. Recording and zapping through the ads works best on the odd occasions when I watch commercial TV Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Can't say we ever watch live TV, we are about a week behind on catch-up, but you can skip the adverts, the news, not seen the news for years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,872 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Any advert with James Cordon in it. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
woody 552 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Give it long enough and some witless outfit will give awards to the makers of these purple adverts that most of us think are an insult to your intelligence. Any actor worth their salt would have nothing to do with this rubbish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Looking at it another way............they work otherwise the money would not be spent. Doesn't say much for the intelligence of the population now does it. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Considering the huge numbers of TV adverts why does the general public put up with it anymore ? More adverts than TV nowadays. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Much prefer the action man dollies to the Barbies anyway. My least favourite has to be without doubt, the 'Bog Off' adverts now with Pam St Clement. Previously with Jeff Brown.

catfan 14,793 Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 All part of the process of brainwashing the public in to accepting homosexuality as normal behaviour, the same as Lloyds bank showing a big poster of 2 men ? hugging with the caption "He said yes". Sickening the lot of it. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,683 Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Hate the Wayfair furniture advert with Lorraine Kelly . I like her generally but that part in the advert where she's doing some exercise with the sweat-band lady and then the final scene where Lorraine is doing some sort of "dad dance" at the bottom of the stairs is cringeworthy. Can't believe she needs the money that badly . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
