Seriously annoying adverts
There's nothing I hate more when watching tv than utterly annoying and stupid adverts.

At present it's the Victoria Plum bathroom advert.

About a week ago I was watching tv and it was on every single advert slot, I mean what do these ad companies think? Do they think that I'm going be enthralled by the womans story of her bathroom struggle?, Seriously who gives a crap and while they are at it why not add two toothless children in the tub being annoying.

How much is it costing them to throw that many ads?

I'm not in the market for a bathroom but I certainly wouldn't buy from them due to their incredibly annoying ads.

I know what you mean. The Asus commercial for the Taichi with Doug Gilmour is ridiculously annoying. It is literally on EVERY commercial break for hockey games. It's just ridiculously overplayed.

Here's the short version of it, but hearing that every 10 minutes or so gets very repetitive and annoying.

Ok I have one...the window advert where a lunatic shouts at you.

Soo annoying and I don't get why the company thinks I would buy windows from a madman shouting, would you want him turning up to fit your windows?

This style of advert I think is from the Americans....loud and obnoxious !

Haven't seen a TV advert is years, thanks to TiVo

The downside is you do miss out on some new series as you miss their promotional adverts, too.

If I'm watching a programme on Sky I find myself pausing it right at the beginning and then I go and do something for ten minutes and then comeback to give me the ability to forward wind through all the ads.

I stopped watching television a couple of years ago when I realised I was paying for a TV license to watch adverts and re-runs.

Same here, the only downside is that i get weekly letters from the tv licensing lot threatening me with eternal torture and damnation if i don't pay for a TV license, even thou i have told them countless times i do not have a TV nor watch TV.

The Lenor "bed-in-the-middle-of-the-US-somewhere" ad is particularly good for this as the guy clearly says "Downy?", which is the US brand of Lenor...

It only seems to be on TV during sports broadcasts though. I rarely see it during the daytime.

But yeah, TiVo/Sky+ is the single greatest thing to happen to television since television itself.
