Which adverts make you switch off or change channel???

Most adverts are just plain annoying! How many dam times do we have to be subjected to "CASH 4 GOLD" arrghhhhhhh. One of these gold adverts has a bloke on it who wouldnt look out of place in the film Scanners. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE bwooshhhh lol.

There are always a few gems floating about and my faves are:

Milk Matters - The recent time travel one cracks me up
Creme eggs - How can you hate choc eggs blowing up?
 
A lot of adverts are shocking, whats worse is when they are LOUDER than the thing you're watching...

I'm sure there was a ruling on this recently but it really grinds, thats why I often slam the mute button as soon as adverts pop up in the middle of something.
 
The window advert, bye one get one free i say bye one get one free has a northerner in it no idea who he is.

The phone advert with the black guy singing. God i hate that one.

The watch company one has some really dodgy geazer in it

i stopped watching tv and i block all the ads on the http sites. the advertising i get is billboards and on buses.

i hate advertising. i always used to put it on mute when the adverts came on.

if i want to buy something i will go and look for it.
 
Sex health ads; condoms, chlamydia, tampons, durex play, etc..

I usually "buffer" all my shows on my V+ box by about 15 mins, then fast-forward all the ads. The only stuff I don't buffer are live events.

I would love to set it up so that adverts are automatically muted and you get a YouTube classic instead.

I said to the missus a while back that I'd make my millions by starting a TV channel that showed 4 minutes of funny videos every 15 minutes of adverts so that when every other channel is on a break people could tune in and watch that and then flick back.
 
I'm in a minority but I really like the Go Compare adverts. The tune is super catchy.

Worst advert is the Dale Winton one, with Cash My Gold.

Or the Nintendo ones with Ant & Dec, perhaps make some decent games rather then employ those idiots.

Most of the above and anything to do with constipation, diarrhea, impotence, lack of self control, Fibogel etc. A lot of adverts are fine first time round but by god they play them to death and when you think they are about to go away they reinvent it slightly differently :mad:

So you don't find any advert annoying. I don't believe you :p
 
I don't know if it's just me but I noticed when fast-forwarding the adverts on Sky+, theres a pause right when a company logo appears at the end of each advert. Whether on 6,12 or 30x speed.

Anyone else notice this?
