KFC Radio ads. Hate the 'Street' accent, hate the product even more but yoof culture at its worst. Closely followed by the Oasis soft drink rap.....all about inclusiveness. Utter rubbish.
You sound like me, I suspect KFC adverts or products are not aimed at us. Doesn't stop me hating the advert though, especially the double something that means they now need 2 people to talk at the same time but slightly out of sync.Given that when they had supply issues and people were phoning the police because they couldn't buy some fried chicken it's safe to assume they know the target audience better than we do.
There is another radio advert for 5day or something like that. I've no idea what product they are actually trying to sell me or what their service offers but it's very annoying having a couple of 'street' sounding guys sing the web site over and over without giving any info.
national lottery "who wins if you win" adverts. I f
king hate 'real people' campaigns where they use actors, but this one is excruciatingly bad.
My friends they are good. They are not my family, but they are like a family to me. They do not know how much they mean to me.
So fking wooden.
then the asian guy with the fake beard which isn't even there as a joke.

I hate all ads out of principle. I totally ignore them, find something else to do while they're on. Can anyone explain why advertisers think screening their ads relentlessly persuades people to buy (eventually) their product or service?
Well, because it does? Otherwise, they wouldn't do it.
Edit: Because brand recognition plays a huge part in this. Getting the product or company name into your head will work in their favour when the time comes that you "need" a certain product.
Let's say you want to go on holiday. You duly open up the internet and type "Holidays to Spain" and up comes 3,000 different options - though you're only looking at the top few results, which is what most people will do.
I've just done this, here are the resutls
TUI
Jet2 Holidays
OnTheBeach
Thomas Cook
lastminute
travel republic
holiday gems
Now I personally have never heard of Travel Republic or Holiday Gems. Do I trust them? I don't know. But the mentality i have is that TUI, Jet2 and Thomas Cook are "established" brands that I know, I've heard of them because they pump so much money into their advertising campaign. TUI sponsor all of Sky 1 programmes, Jet2 have some irritating song playing all the time on their ads... but I've heard of them. and I've never heard of those last two. They could well be the best holiday company ever, they clearly make enough money to be positioned high in Google's search results, but in my head, and that of many other people, knowing the brand is enough for it to be trustworthy.

The Fiat 124 spider ad that keeps cropping up on YouTube. The driver gets it a bit sideways, but the way it's filmed makes it look like he's a st driver who just lost the back end briefly. If he'd held the drift for one more second it would look way better. Bugs me every time I see it.
No, I clearly don't have enough in my life to worry about.

I caught a bit of a musical advert for Equity Release truly awful, and the advert looked/sounded crap too.
That's the "Key" one that was mentioned a couple of pages back.Lets hope the advert puts people off and less fall for this con.

In the USA for several years theres been adverts for Cranberry juice featuring 2 "Numpties wading in a sea of berries. Actors "pretending" to be simple farmers. Makes my piss boilking hate 'real people' campaigns where they use actors, but this one is excruciatingly bad. robinessex said:

I do what any above average intelligence person does and call a broker/several specialists? Rather then paying the bare minimum and getting the bare minimum service?Both as annoying as each other but at insurance renewal time..........
Granted, most people are either average or below average, so that's their target market.

I thought my eyes were deceiving me at first but no it was definately Floyd Mayweather advertsing some really crap UPVC windows and reading out the telephone number!
The advert was appalling and surely he can't be that hard up for cash can he?
Thought you was mistaken at first but you’re right. Wtf?! The advert was appalling and surely he can't be that hard up for cash can he?
