Most offputting Advert on TV?

Not had the pleasure of seeing this a advert and it sounds like a total gross out.

The sort of thing that would really
appeal to the Rugby brigade or younger wnd dad older men on a boys night out.
You know where they are aiming for total obliteration of sll senses.

I also hate grown men talkng childrens voices adverts. It makes me feel nauseous. YUKKK!!!!

However by the worse and l think the most exploitavtive advert l has recently seen is the O2 advert about freedom which heavily features anew born child is and narration by so called National Treaure, Sean Bean.

Who baby was that? It could hardly give permission to be featured could it.

The Advertisement Industry us run by very self regarding types. Usually men who think there are the epitome of creative talent. Leading edge, whi shape our choices and push thr envelope in creative media.

Tricksie and slippy to the core.

Bring back the Cadbury's Smash and Oxo tye adverts from back in the day

Pee pants does my head in but the one with the temp men talking in young children’s voices makes me feel bad 🤣

Another one here who finds the Haribo ads funny - especially the policemen one!

We must be very childish, Clawdy 😂😂😂

My goodness, I really started something here, didn't I? I have cable (VM) with a TIVO box and record nearly everything I want to watch in the evening, but I still get caught out by these gross adverts in the morning when I am watching Jeremy Vine - just when I am eating my breakfast, usually!

How grateful I am to you all for showing me the sordid world of current ads...I record everything so I can watch progs at the best time for me then fast forward through 'em straight back to the prog

So do I. I wonder when the advertisers will realise that a great number of people don’t watch the adverts at all. Many of us will fast forward through them, and if we can’t, we will make a cuppa or do something else while they are on. The ads go on for so long now that I find I can go to the loo, wash my hands, make a cup of tea and be sitting down by the time the programme is back on. Soon, the ads will be on longer than the programme! I actually timed the ads in a programme recently and it turned out that the ads took up nearly 20% of the programme! That is appalling! I watch less and less ITV because of this.

The fact that you remember these adverts must mean the advertisers job is done, the only thing is can you remember the product.............

No 😂

On principle!!

On that thought, have you noticed that you can't fast forward on most of the 'on demand' channels. I think they have noticed the tendency to record and fast forward ... soon everything will be 'on demand ... '

It's funny really - not funny ha ha but funny peculiar. We don't generally worry about watching toothpaste and teeth ads for example but we do about our bottoms which are also part of us.

Not so keen on the ones showing spitting and spitting blood though.

Yes - but do you realise that, if you fill it up (or it breaks) and you have to buy a new one, you can't transfer anything you might want to keep? I didn't; I was very upset!

I can't stand the one for chewing gum, where there's a mouth on a person's forehead. So stupid.

"that's a Boomerang Smell" what twaddle!!

But I do have to laugh at the thought of the auditions held for the wobbly bottom toilet roll ad! "Just walk away from us, Miss Hopeful.....hmmm, not enough wobble, thank you. NEXT!!!"

😂 Now there’s a thought, casting for a Wobbly Bottom role….. these things just never occur to me but someone has to do it I suppose.

Any way we can "forward" this thread to the Ad company? Mind you, they probably won't care: we aren't their "target audience". The young Ad makers all know that old people smell bad but are too dumb to realise it or care!
