Adds

[Knight Templar]

What adds annoy you? Or adds you just find funny, post 'em here!

My hated add is:
Any add where to show how good a TV is, they show images from the TV. That only works if I already have the TV!

So again, post funny/weird adds you've seen.

 

[gnaw]

I hate those adds that involve negative and positive numbers.

The only ads ads I hate are the ones that I can't simply ignore.

 

[Singing Gremlin]

The ones that figure, if it's memorable, its good, so don't bother making it fun and just fall back on remote-bitingly annoying.

"HI! I'M BARRY SCOTT! THEY PAY ME EXTRA FOR EVERY SET OF EARDRUMS I BURST!"

 

[GroteSnor89]

The adds that enlarge when you scroll over it with your mouse...
Or even worse the ones with a sound 0_o

 

[Hey Joe]

I don't get why people hate ads myself. I mean, they can be annoying but at the end of the day they're paying for the shows you like to watch.

If I had a top annoying ad though, it would be those ring tone ads. Or those ads that promise you fabulous cash prizes in exchange for answering a question that your inbred goldfish could answer. You know the ones I'm talking about.

I love the add at the end of the new Yahtzze review.

Not sure if everyone gets the same add though.

i got kind of a long list

1) GET OUT OF DEBT NOW WE'LL SHOW YOU HOW!!!!!
2) anything about that fucking chode jared and the weight he lost fuck you subway i like my fast food.
3) any add for online college usually comes on to g4 or adult swim.
4) the truth adds, those people are so self righteous i'd like to punch them in the face.
5) any adds for ED or "male enhancement" can suck my huge knobb


there are more but i tried to consolidate them and i really don't want to think about stuff that makes me flash white with rage

BUT i would like to end on a high note by pointing out the greatest add i've ever seen in my life. a few weeks ago i saw an add with one of those m&m guys standing in front of a mirror in the bathroom and as he looks at himself he says "since i became an m&m i wonder where my ears went, maybe i should make new ones." and procedes to hold up a running drill. that commercial was so funny i couldn't even laugh, i just stared blankly at the tv for a few minutes thinking i had imagined it. but when the shock wore off i laughed for a couple days. and sure enough the proof that it was brilliant i havn't seen it since. one time run commercials are usually that way because they are too good.

the latest ads that pop over the zero punctuation videos and make me miss his new penis drawings

I detest floaty ads on the net. The kind that load with the page you are trying to view then block you from seeing the damned page. Sure, you can close them, but that's still forcing my interaction with them.
Also, ads around certain holidays that make it clear that I am a horrible, horrible man if I don't go out right now and spend money I don't have to buy my better half shiny rocks to wear. 'Cause ALL women love the shiny rocks and will never believe that you love them unless you buy shiny rocks for EACH and EVERY holiday that comes along. I even saw an arbor day emerald brooch being advertised in a paper last year. Arbor Day.
I failed to purchase a single shiny rock for my fiance last year and she still loves me.
Must be a fluke.

The only ads I like are the ones that make my shit my pants(like this one, for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUuRddeQmV8 ) and some of the Orange ads, and very rarely something better comes up (like the Ikea commercial with the discarded lamp.)The rest of the ads just suck. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

[Geoffrey42]

There are people out there like me who advertising does not work on.

I don't think advertising works the way you think it works, if you think it doesn't work on you.

If you think of the Game, you lost the Game, and have twenty seconds to forget or you lose again...

I suppose I started this.

I'm a little disgusted that they recommend defacing wikipedia as a "good idea". A meme for the sake of being a meme? Someone was bored. Oh noes! I'm losing!

The striders on Lady Vashj, those fucke-oh wait...

 

[Melty Blood]

On topic, that party poker add that follows me WHERE EVER THE FUCK I GO. Unlike most pop-ups, it takes up the entire damn page, and when I close it, it brings up a window saying "Take me to party poker dot net!" [OK] [Cancel]. At which point did they think that attempting to trick people into going to their site would work?

 

[soul_rune1984]

I hate seeing adds on the movie theater screen. Show me a bunch of movie promotions not a damn car commercial! I can see those at home thanks.

One add I loved was the Burger King add where the guy wakes up and finds "The King" sitting next to him in bed, and he gets this look of "WTF did I do last night?". Then, "The King" hands him a breakfast sandwich. Wake Up With The King! That add was sooooo disturbing it was great.

 

[roo18]

There is one add that really annoys me. It normally appears at the top of some sites; it's for a site called RUTHINKING. The simple reason it annoys me is because, my name being Ruth, I think it's directly aimed at me and makes me paranoid.
When I click on it, which I do (every time), it turns out to be a 'Use a Condom' site, which makes me worse because now my paranoia has reached thinking that my computer is mocking me.

 

[ZenMonkey47]

Those insipid talking emoticon webbanners ("SAAAY SOMETHING!!"). The worst part is: they wouldn't exist unless someone was actually clicking on them.

Both parties should be tried for crimes against the internet.

And those damn parasites at illidan! Always try to sell me stuff >_<

The Head On adverts are by far the most annoying. The whole ad consists of a picture of their product and repeating the instructions four or five times.

"HEAD ON: Apply Directly to the Forehead!"
"HEAD ON: Apply Directly to the Forehead!"
"HEAD ON: Apply Directly to the Forehead!"
"HEAD ON: Apply Directly to the Forehead!"
"HEAD ON: Apply Directly to the Forehead!"

Then sometimes they show them consecutively, by the time my show returns, I've already grown bored with life.
