It's honestly like they try and set out to make them as annoying as possible - horrendous cover versions of songs, annoying straplines that make no sense, irritating voices, stupid premises, etc. I think that because we're just bombarded with shitty adverts through so many channels now (TV, radio, websites, apps, billboards, magazines, post, podcasts, etc) they just blur into one annoying mass of noise that I want to blackout as much as possible, and it makes some things (like commercial radio) unbearable.

I couldn't believe how numerous and obnoxious the ads on youtube were when I watched some stuff on my Xbox instead of my PC the other day. Thank god for Adblockers making that site bearable.

The guy on some of the Google ads does have a very punchable face.

Doesn't help with Google nuking Vanced but it's only a matter of time before a decent replacement pops up

That Samsung ad where the woman decides going for a jog at 2:30 am, in a deserted city center with earbuds in is a good idea.

Also has a shitty slow acoustic cover of Seven Nation Army with the line with the naughty word (cigarette) edited out.

strawberry float off Samsung.

Slightly late to the party seeing as the last episode has just finished but the Visit Ireland adverts wrapped around Derry Girls are strawberry floating awful.

Is it just me? Or are the Airbnb adverts getting even worse?

The Cancer Research UK ad with the woman saying "Are you trying to tell me you think I have cancer?" rather oddly boils my piss.

Fairly certain a doctor would be actually telling you that yes you do unfortunately have cancer.

I have nothing against the ad other than the infuriatingly condescending woman, but women sneering at 'useless men' in ads seems to be a common thing at the moment.

Not sure if anyone's seen it yet, but there's an ad doing the rounds now which features a shitty slow cover version of The Only Way Is Up by Yazz.

The Experian Boost radio advert :dread: is so annoying with the out-of-tune guy singing :dread:

There's a Tik Tok ad that I see pop up from time to time on youtube and other platforms that starts with the loudest most obnoxious alarm noise.

I would pay good money to see whatever cretin came up with that get horribly hurt.

I'm utterly pissed off with Google Pixel 6 ("Magic eraser!") ads on YouTube. It looked kinda neat the first few times but now... no. No. NO!

Just came here to see if anyone had posted the Katy Perry Just Eat advert yet. Wow. They must have paid her A LOT.

The javelin thrower in the Commonwealth Games tickets advert is committing a foul. They have all the footage to pick from and they pick that...

My channel has been providing plenty of those of late, I'm sure the viewers are super grateful. :nod:

I'm not even sure what it is (some sort of accounting software?) and, strictly speaking, it's not on TV, but strawberry float me, I don't think I've ever seen such a concentration of ads by a single company on Youtube before. It's not just that they're shite in and of themselves - with the blatant desperation to have their product synonymous with a certain colour - it's that the sheer volume of them is strawberry floating unbearable.

This advert. Can’t say I’ve ever been to a party or night out like that, where everyone are on their phones.
That looks strawberry floating gooseberry fool party to me



The sad bastards didn’t even get a bouncy castle.
