I have to remind myself - what is the purpose of an advert? Surely to persuade us to buy the product. So what to do if we dont like the advert? Simple. Take careful note of what is being advertised and boycott the product.. That's people power and will very soon produce results.
oh how naive, of course adverts have nothing to do with the product, just look at car adverts.
Adverts are made to win awards for "The Best advert, featuring animals" "The most innovative advert" etc. etc., To sell product really!!, what next, politicians meaning their election promises

Neudorff slug killer - I have never heard such bad sound quality on TV! It's as if the voiceover is being done over a really bad phone line.

**** me, trivago don’t half like hammering their message home do they? How often is that bloody advert on? It was once on twice in one ad break, with the smug bint saying the same thing she’d just told me, 30 seconds earlier. Yeah, I get it, you can compare hotels, it’s hardly rocket science!

the RNIB ad for their lottery, hardly sensitive to have a car as a prize, the lottery is in support of the BLIND.
I was talking to an american woman when the pelican crossing lights started to bleep, the yank asked me "Why does that make that noise?" I replied "It's for the blind" she said "Gee in the US we don't allow them to drive"

Reminds me of the quote from US Department store owner John Wanamaker who said:-

"Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don't know which half."

Agreed. I hate Bodyform adverts with a passion and, as such, I've never bought their product!

The Muller ad with Kris "I have a very annoying voice) Akabusi. Possibly the worst advert so far this year

Booking.com. Hate it.

They think they are so booking edgy, and so booking clever, by pretending to swear.

They are actually booking juvenile.

Yes that twaddle gets my vote as well.

I saw this for the first time last night. I couldn't help but to shout 'Oh God Kris, what are you DOING?' Surely he's not so hard up that he needs to appear in such a cheap, crappy ad?

Are they the ones with the small chef? If so, I agree - they are really, REALLY lame.

The only adverts I can think of that has influence over me is console and certain game adverts.

I tried them (or something like it, maybe it was the Ritz ones). They're foul, like eating carpet slices

4000(!) complaints for the first Booking ad, yet they have passed them every time.

Has Le Rustique's "authantic taste of Fronce" ad been mentioned yet? His overdone accent is an all-out assault on my senses

Lidl surprises, with that annoying female narrator and the glottal stops. Do they think it sounds cool?

Those very weird little Travelodge dolls give me the creeps and would put me off staying there. They make Lenny Henry at Premier Inns look positively cosy.

I'm sure it will be mentioned several times, but what the hell was that Ronseal advert all about during Gogglebox? A 3 or 4 min ad with a guy literally just painting a fence! Then at the end the guy turns to the camera and basically tells the viewers they are stupid for watching the advert!
Well no worries Ronseal, next time I will turn off and not watch the ads! Will that help? Sure C4 will love that.

I HATE THIS ADVERT! I'm so glad I watch Four in a Bed on Sky+. I REFUSE to put up with that annoying woman and not to mention the way the music stops abruptly making me think there's something wrong with the TV!

“To avoid wrinkles you can stop laughing, have early nights, or just be happy and use Q10”

Hate to break it to you, but none of that shit will stop you getting wrinkles, it’s called getting old and it’s inevitable… oh and nobody that uses anti-wrinkle cream is happy.

Here's any idea, just be happy and save your money.
