Adverts you hate.

[Champ]

There are many ads I hate' date=' both on TV and radio, but to name them would defeat the purpose of me adding to this thread, in that I'd still be mentioning their name and thus bringing attention to it, which, even if an ad is shit, is the purpose of advertising in the first place - product awareness.

 

Whether people are talking about how good or bad an ad is, the result is the same - they're still talking about it and spreading the name. The result being, the advertisers of the product or service and the ad agencies win.[/quote']

I dont know about that because some adverts are just so annoying that I would actively avoid the product they are selling

[Chocoholic]

I concur with that, and there's nothing that will persuade me to buy anything advertised with a shit ad. But the point is that the ad and the product is still being talked about, and that's the aim. So even if you hate it enough to avoid it like the plague, if you talk about that hate, you're still furthering awareness of the product and that may make another person you mention it to buy it.

 

Bringing to mind the old adage 'There's no such thing as bad publicity.' Many will buy something simply because it's so hated and to be contrary to everyone else.

[Da Bitch]

Hate most ads on both Radio & T.V very few make me chuckle! My daughters mate calls WKD etc.... Proof Juice!

 

Have to disagree about the Foster ads they make me laugh.

[Stouffer]

Teh new Haribo one is fucking dreadful.

[Tocky Mo]

any ad with three or more "lads" or "female equivalents" enjoying a bottle of beery liquid (or latterly Strongbow ciderette) or in the case of females, eating cereal or using hair removal products, where there are 3 white and one non-white actor and they are always laughing like simpletons at the ludicrousness of it all. Pure racial stereotyping. The implication is that the three white biffas don't go drinking without their patronised non-white mate. And why is it not 2:2 or even 3:1? Anyone who does not see the sickening exploitation of racial minorities is as dim as the directors of these stupid ads and probably feel a warm glow of acceptance.

Is that the wedding photo one with the kid in an ill-fitting suit holding a bag of Haribo bigger than him?

 

The Fosters "advice" ads are basically shit, but the Holly Valance one has a decent last part ("That think you're thinking? It won't be that.").

 

A really shit advert is the compensation one with Joe Pasquale doing voiceovers. "I've had an ak-sea-dunt!" Fuck off you squeaky-voiced unfunny cunt.

Those Fosters' ads are not as good as they think they are but that is a good line

[Bobby Hundreds]

There's an advert were they trick the boss into thinking he's losing it so they can watch the match, at the end for some reason they are all dancing infront of the tv, it's fucking gross misconduct to my sensibilities .

Haribo Super Mix Advert - YouTube

[Trumo]

Ah. I hadn't see that steaming pile of shite before, and I'm now wishing it had stayed that way. Frightful how much money "creative" types are paid for their ideas.

Product awareness is only one possible aim of advertising, there are plenty of others. There is definitely such a thing as bad publicity but a lot of the really annoying ads are just going for recognition, so they don't care if they annoy you because you'll remember them to look for cheap insurance.

 

The Skoda ads are a good example of not going for recognition but shifting a brand perception.

Oh sweet irony.

[RJ Fan club]

Fuck me. That long Shane Warne Advance Hair Studio advert that's just been on CH4 was bad.

[Preston Red]

Them Flora adverts with them two Bolton fuckwits Vernon Kaye and his shithouse mother. The radio adverts are real ear AIDS.

Wrinkled old gobshite on the right- i'd kill her slow.

[ChrisM]

I don't know about you, but when I'm looking at changing my current account, or shopping around for a new mortgage, the most important question I ask myself about a bank is 'can the staff sing?'

 

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, HALIFAX.

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

The one with the fella who was in eastenders selling loans, hooks the woman up to a lie detector, then as she walks out the room goes 'nice tie' and the lie detector starts going off on one. She is no longer attached the to the fucking lie detector so how has it detected the fucking lie !!!! fuming.

[Trumo]

Boots. "Ooh Vitamin C. Is that for your eyes then?" Obviously pleased with her "wit" despite actually coming across as a complete biff.

That advert genuinely makes me feel sick, if it's the one with the two women pretending to be dj's ?? my work's blocked it thank god. First off what kind of dj would just continually play the same verse of a song ?? makes no sense and sounds really annoying, secondly, how are they focusing on there jobs when they've got fucking earphones on and knocking mugs everywhere, soft bitches. The smug fucking look on theire faces, horrible, horrible advert.

Yeah, that's how word of mouth works:

 

"I fucking hate that ad, and the product is shite"

 

"Yes, I might buy it"

 

WRONGGGGGGGGG!

 

And PS: there is such a thing as bad publicity.

They were the last set of fucking shit Halifax adverts, they were all vomit inducing those dj ones, especially where that prick goes 'can I borrow your car?' and makes off with someones car keys. PRICK.

 

These new ones involve loads of Halifax 'staff' in a choir singing in what looks like Abbey Road, singing turgid shite like 'I'll Be There' to demonstrate the fact that their branches are open on saturdays.

[ChrisM]

What a horrible collection of smug shits -

In fairness I cannot think of any other way they could have demonstrated that.
