Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
What Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute?
My dad it's the Go Compare advert.
For me, it those "Parents" in the Internet Matters ad, God they pee me off.
I pray that they are just actors and not real parent.

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
tend to swerve most adverts by watching On Demand and using AdGuard so I guess my answer is all of them

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
On the rare occasions I sit down to watch TV, my viewing experience lasts approximately 8 minutes.
This is the time taken to flick through the numerous channels available, most of which are showing adverts no matter what the time is . . if I do chance upon something that slightly gets my interest, adverts turn up 2 minutes later. *click*
All adverts get my blood pressure rising.
99% of radio stations also don't interest me for the same reason.

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
How much time have you got? In no particular order:
1. The £3/month adverts etc.
2. The funeral adverts including life insurance.
3. The Rrchenault adverts.
4. Adverts where the cars drive on the right.
5. Peleton.
A small starter.

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
That bloody Peleton advert is as pervasive as the damn cyclists now infesting the roads around Wokingham.

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
As I've mentioned before, adverts really annoy me.
I rarely watch TV but her indoors has it on for the usual soap crap and tea time quiz stuff.
I'm almost ashamed to say that one does actually catch my attention - a car ad I think - simply because someone had the excellent taste to use 'Aphrodites Child - The Four Horsemen' as the soundtrack
I'll never buy the car, don't even know what it is, but I have that song in my head for ages afterwards

If they’re on their Pelotons, they’re not on the roads…
Win all round.

Nah. When they're on the road, they're not on their Peletons but will be.

I wish. They are the ones who:
1. Go fast when you need them to go slow;
2. Go slow when you need them to hurry up;
3. That ride slowly two abreast across Sonning Bridge;
4. That put themselves at the front of the traffic light queue.

They had to recall all the treadmills as the tilted ones were consuming small children and the screens kept falling off and hitting people.
Probably why they're pushing the other ones so hard.
