Most annoying adverts

[Sizzle Montyjing]

Hello fine... well, adequate people of the Escapist!!
Today I grace these interweb halls with my presence to ask you a question.

What is the most annoying advert you have come across?
For me it has to be a youtube banner ad, World of tanks to be precise.
Breaks the whole bleeding youtube player unless you go on full screen.

I fucking dare someone to find a more annoying ad campaign than this!


There's dozens of the bastards! Can I get a /thread in here?

You can get an /thread.

/thread.

/thread x1000

I hate people who do /thread's and I'm doing one because that's how freaking bad it is!

I want to shoot him in the face, then a few more times JUST to make sure.

Scuse me, I need to go punch a wall.

Well, there's a few really:

1. Any ad that goes over 30s.
2. Pretty much every ad for cleaning supplies. Seriously we get it, you think men are totally incapable at any household task and ALL women are pros at it. Can we PLEASE move on?
3. The ones that go way over the top, even for ads. Hey, buy this deodorant and women will tear off their clothes and run at you! Hey, buy this deodorant and you will make the world a better place to live in for everyone! Jesus Christ.
5. Other perfume ads. You know, the ones where you can't figure out what's being advertised until the very end?
6. Car ads. Showing as many images as possible of children being safe and secure inside your car does not tell me a single bloody thing about it.

Actually, every ad except the Meerkat one grinds my girders.

Simples.

I agree withe everything above. Have you ever noticed that in adverts for cleaning stuff they always have a really shit voice dub. I've noticed that febreeze adverts do it a lot.

Febreeze adverts there all annoying and shit.

It's OK I understand your misery :'( Why won't they stop showing them? Why?!

Well back in the early days when Mobile phones became ever so popular, the polyphonic ringtone was in the craze.
With that in mind it was common to see alot of ringtone ads during breaks and among them was the most annoying of them all. That ads name is Crazy Frog.
Now only was those ads was bad but what made worse that the Crazy Frog itself somehow became popular among the masses (who I will called stupid people).
Seriously there was a Crazy Frog song which was just using the Beverly Hill Cop themetune and was rank 1 in the music show Top Of The Pop. He even had his own game and other merchadis like toys and stuff!!!

That one doesn't count.
Besides, it's not even that bad, I think mine is worse when it's actually something that makes you refresh.

Hey hey hey!!
You can't just win the thread outright like that, it ain't fair I tells ya!!
But hey, reminds me of that 12 minute long ad I got on youtube about some christian bullshit about the apocalypse.
Also, I feel that the Meerkat has lost his touch... and sold out.

Why? Why does it not count?

Mainly because you couldn't catch the amusing undertones I placed in that sentence and by some sort of divine power expected you to pick up on. My bad on that one.

That and it's far too obvious a choice.
I mean, I feel like we're more supposed to hate it rather than actually hate it.

Yeah, the newer ones don't have quite the appeal as the first few did. Still far more bearable than the Confused.com ads though. The only message I got there was BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOUNCY BLOODY BOOBS.

As for the Captcha, well.. it can go to GO COMPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE for all I care. :/

Yes, you can have the /thread, you can have as many as you want!

My vote goes to Head On! Apply directly to the forehead!


My favorite part is when they tell you to apply directly to the forehead.

The actual ad isn't that long but it can get annoying pretty quick. plus it doesn't tell you that it's supposed to relieve headaches or anything.
