Reading through this thread makes me realise how little I watch live TV and therefore adverts. I’m surprised how many people still do. With the exception of live sport I can’t understand it.
Hate most adverts, special mention for Argus with the weird frog/monster and the Chucky like female doll. Only advert I've ever liked was the Gorilla playing drums to a Phil Collins track for Cadburys Milk Tray!

its a dinosaur! ............frog?!?! frog!?!? How can you think its a frog?!!
I keep getting served the same YouTube ad for this stupid castle defense game over and over and over and over and over and over
Go Premium mate. Well worth the dough if you watch a bit of YouTube
Yeah I've definitely been thinking about it. You might have pushed me over the edge. They seem to have upped the frequency of ads lately as well.
There used to be a D&AD Chrome Extension which instead of YouTube ads, played a selection of the best ads ever. It was brilliant, but sadly stopped working now.
Those fucking Haribo ads with grown men dubbed over with toddlers voices!!!! Wrong on every level 🤬
Seems to me that so much advertising is either aimed at the gullible young and/or assumes that the entire population has a mental age of about 12 years
Just seen that terrible Kellogg's advert where some bird pulls a lever to drop her partner into a void so she can get outside a bowl of cornflakes. Charmless. They had to tack on a bit about the man recovering in the basement, when she calls down "sorry" no doubt after poor feedback to the original version.
Can't watch TV durring the day without being bombarded with ads for prepaid funeral plans, leaving cash to charity in your will and over 50s life insurance. FFS you don't need this all day long when you are retired! I'll stick to the Internet I think 😆
I wouldn't say it annoys me, but the Tom Kerridge M&S Gastro ad on the radio gives me completely the wrong vibes. The way he says 'Gastro' makes me think more Gastro Enteritis than Gastronomy. I end up imagining the chef with his trousers round his ankles desperately phoning his M&S paymasters to get them to deliver another packet of poo tickets. Try M&S Gastro? No bloody way, I don't want to suffer the shits like Tom does.
Not adverts as such but watching the Pakistan v England cricket on TV, the way they promote the sponsors by seemingly inviting spectators to pretend to be drinking a brand of tea or solar power charging their phones in an area surrounded by branded hoardings is grinding my gears..
The latest No7 renew serum advert. Whenever I hear that stupid woman say “I know right, we were just having fun” I want to put my foot through the screen.
