Default Annoying adverts.

Every nation has them, annoying, cheesy and generally rubbish ads. Explain them on this thread!

Very true. Yesterday I had to watch 30 minutes of annoying adds in cinema before the movie started. Thankfully I don't have TV so that's about as bad as it gets

Any Burger King commercial. Take your pick. Oh yeah, and those stupid pizza commercials for Pizza Hutt (or whichever it is) with Jessica Simpson in them."These bites were made for poppin'!" And I'm gonna pop you in the eye!

You don't? Whoa.

Well, about cinema ads; they do not really annoy me. As they are always kind of the same, they give me a cinema feeling, hahah (strange, eh). And I don't mind to watch the trailers either.

But television ads, blah. The most annoying ones are the badly lip-synched ones, aahhww awfull, they are! Mostly cleaning products advertisements are the worst. Really, they can make me mad, they are soo incredibly dumb.
And there is this 'Bob the Builder'-soup ad, which is annoying as hell. All by all, there are too many to point out.

But, there are some fun ones too (phew). Like KFC, and Nike has some cool commercials as well.

But the bad outnumber the good. It's strange how those people employed to make ads get paid so much (atleast I've heard it's a good job). Considering most seem to do their work so bad, I'm really surprised about them getting so much money.

One of the main reasons I quit watching TV. I'm not going to have a show, which aren't that good anymore, interupted every 5-7 minutes to show me 2-3 minutes of commercials.

Now I only watch movies.

As annoying as those ads are, you remember them and that is the goal of the advertiser. I don't know why the company would put up with them though. It would be nice if they went with some more imagination and less celebrity placement. So what if Jessica Simpson is advertising pizza. Do you really think she eats more than a slice a month? At least they should try to be realistic, but not the Jared realism. **shudder**

That is just your opinion.

Ad I hate is the Progressive insurance and all coke/pepsi commercials.
Geico ones I like

Jessica Simpson in them
Why?
Because she is hot
She does'nt look as good as she can in that commercial they did a bad job IMO.
I'd like her to pop one in my mouth

There's about 20 minutes of commercials in the theaters. It was enough to get me to consider complaining. The same thing over and over too, its enough to make a man cry.

As for TV commercials, I don't really mind them, but commercials during tv movies are the worst. so irritating because movies are one continous loop hehe.


graphically inclined.

The Cillit Bang adverts are so annoyingly bad.

I don't like the sponsor adverts on during 24 either. Some woman hunting for diamonds...bah, Jack should just go up and shoot her, then it would be awesome.
