Which TV adverts make you switch channels

Are they getting worse?

When that ‘go compare’ ad appears l either hit the mute button or switch channels – IMHO it’s the worst TV:eek: ad “so far”

l’m also sick of bloody Delia Smith, and because of the run up to Xmas they seem to be pushing every Comedian’s DVD as the funniest.

l’ll probably remember some more later.

None. I fast forward when watching a recorded programme and press the mute button if watching live. Easy, peasy…….;)

Go Compare
Halifax
Vagisil and other ‘thrush’ remedies, and tampons, lovely at mealtimes! Can you imagine the outcry if a product for blokes problems downstairs was advertised on TV at peak time? perhaps Scroteeze or something;)

And my award winner is………..Iceland!!

A relative of mine used to work in the sales dept. of Lever Brothers and said to me once that anything that makes you remember an ‘ad is good news for the advertiser. I argued that it would simply make me avoid the product, he gave me a wry smile and said “but would it?”

Go compare drives me insane, Like Spitfireman I find all these injury claims ones even worse.
If your daft enough to use the wrong tools for the job you don’t need compensation, You need your head testing. Our claim culture takes the p$$s.

Also have a problem perfume adverts at Christmas not sure why but they annoy the hell out of me.

The new ones from Iceland, that have several versions all running in the same break……..

These.

Dressing a bunch of birds up like they’ve come off the set of Moulin Rouge!, then adding a “rock” twist and some crap, syllable-mangling lyrics to Christmas songs is NOT going to make me, or my mother for that matter, want to go to sodding Iceland!

Easy enough to avoid the whole damn lot by using a HD recorder or watching online, am I missing something?

Lawyers 4 U (etc)

” fell off a ladder recently, wrong sort of ladder, got Β£7.000 for being a kn*b and going up it even though I knew it was the wrong sort of ladder! “

” walking across the floor and tripped over some plastic strapping, got Β£4.500 for not looking where I was walking……….”

” Got Β£3.000 after putting my kitten in the microwave and it died!!! There was no warnings I could not dry my kitten this way…………..”

These compensation ads make me turn over!

Those awful Halifax adverts! The Go Compare adds I can kind of understand and tolerate but the Halifax ones are just crap.
