The Annoying Advert Thread

Every single advert annoys me but particularly those claiming some obscure clinically sounding cream is going to rejuvenate your skin. All advertising is right on the edge of making false claims and dishonesty

They know how far they can go and they take it right to the limit.

[StanSP]

The smart meter 'Einstein' one.

[Stinkenzo]

All Nationwide adverts

AllSunlife adverts

All adverts that follow the same pattern as Sunlife adverts

Yep. This.

[Wymsey]

GoCompare adverts.

 

The first few usedcto be quite amusing, but the recent ones seem more about the actor himself than what he's actually advertising.

[Unabomber]

Wasn’t there a tuna one where the guy was beating up a bear? That was class

[Strokes]

I don’t watch adverts.

[Corky]

Ocado is my current, er, favourite of this type.

 

The worst have to be adverts where some crappy female is airily singing a belting anthem in a slowed down, twee fashion. Companies should be fined for it.

Plenty of annoying adverts, not least the one that seems to be on all the time right now butchering a song by the Carpenters, but none I’ve actually had to actively turn off until the Kevin Bacon / getting shaved by a robot one. That is an incredibly uncomfortable watch.

[Adster]

Do radio adverts count? 

 

That bloody Trade Centre UK advert. The fvcking annoying bloke is basically shouting at me to buy a car.

I found that robot advert bizarre!

Great thread.

 

Everyone in the Vanguard advert, especially these two.

Are we talking currenty, or historically?

 

Because not much beats this...

I work in advertising (well, media), and even I can't stand this one. It's annoying anyway what with the sirens and the shouting but the sheer stupidity of it as an advertising strategy is the cherry on top. Switch station without fail.

 

And to OP, in my opinion Dominos is actually one of the few brands at the moment with what seems to be a coherent strategy, executed well. But what do I know, I'm just the numbers guy.

The last fella orders a vegi supreme and 7 chicken strippers. Coherent my a*se!

 

 

Apart from that yeah dominos are great at advertising. Their pizzas are far from world class, but they are so consistent and that sets them apart.

[Dan LCFC]

The HSBC one.

[Houdini Logic]

Can I just remind people about the Dominos track my order robot thing which you have to watch for 30 seconds before the ****ing thing tells you that your pizza isn't even in the oven yet. 

Screw Dominos

[Nalis]

Any ad involving a large corporate who claims to be 'by your side' or something similar. Also any that disguise marketing as corporate social responsbility on issues like mental health awareness or inequality rather than giving a shit about the issues at hand in the first place. 

[Nalis]

Although their pizzas are rank, I actually think the Domino's ad is alright.

[Arkie Bennett]

Any advert where the central character is some sort of dimwit or idiot. You think I'm going to buy your cider because you fly a hot air balloon 4 feet off the ground and crash into things? A few years ago BT Sport ran a whole series of ads based on their staff being stupid. It just makes you look incompetent.
