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
 

That one certainly gets on my nerves and lately its been these funeral adverts.

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
 

"Perf with Surf" :mad::mad::mad:

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.

What are "adverts" ;)

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

:D

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 :D

I'll never buy the car, don't even know what it is, but I have that song in my head for ages afterwards :D

If they’re on their Pelotons, they’re not on the roads… ;)

Win all round. :D

Are the the ones pedaling like crazy, doing 27 MPH and checking the app on their phone every 5 seconds . . until they hit the parked car :D

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

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.

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

God bless the BBC and the licence fee then ! Some campaign for that to be full of adverts too.

I love Classic FM, but its ruined by adverts.

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

I'd rather have rubbish ads than rubbish content that the BBC dishes up.

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

I get annoyed when adverts are interrupted by TV programs :D

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

Why do you guys even watch TV in this way? Advertisements are time wasting, boring and annoying. We all have VM boxes, allowing us to watch what we want, when we want, free of commercials. And yet….

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

and of course you're quite happy to pay VM a fair wedge every month for the privilege of delivering those adverts to your home, which you then ignore :D

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

I don’t pay for the adverts, Carth!

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

So VM supply them for free?

Can you opt out? LOL

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

Just in-case anybody was under the impression that "Medifacts" was some kind of independent organisation. Just a marketing tool. :rolleyes:

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

What I meant was that I pay for the content. I am not given the choice of whether to get the commercials as well, which are for the benefit of the commercial TV stations, not Virgin Media.

In the fullness of time, I hope that this can be rectified by way of SVOD. Not long to go now (fingers crossed). Hopefully, all the players owned by the main commercial stations will have an ad-free subscription option soon, and live streaming availability such as the BBC i-Player provides would be useful, too.

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

Oh, goody - more payments...

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

My ultimate goal is to subscribe to the terrestrial channel players and other streamers and ditch the TV channels. We are nearly there now.

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

They are the best few lines of that song tbf

Consuming small children, the smug cow cheerleading in the studio kept that quiet and just like that you're done, it's eaten both the kids and the kitten

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

So those that pay for the add free version will have to find something else to do when the ITV add free paid for service pauses while the free version shows the adverts half way through the 7.30pm release of Coronation Street. Maybe ITV can fill the intermission with re-runs of the old public information films. I always liked the one with the grim reaper and the kids trying fish the football out of the pond....

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

Car adverts seem to be so noisy and stupid

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

That's probably the noise from the engine mate, they tend to be noisy when revved.;)

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

And more often than not, they're not filmed in the UK.

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

To be fair, not many of them are made here ;)

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

Any advert with Philip Scofield in it :td:

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

Mrs G would agree with you. She's disgusted by what she feels is the way he has really misled his (soon to be ex??) wife.

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

Ditto.

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

I don’t know how they would work it. Similar to how All4+ works it, I presume.

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

Generally we record channels with ads, but sometimes there is no choice.

If you look at the car it has letters and numbers that can be flipped ad still look normal, except they ain't in a UK format

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

This why l always record any show :shocked::shocked:l watch . including bbc ,car chases etc all get the fast forward treatment :shocked:

Re: Adverts that make you change channel or hit mute
 

I was that annoyed by the Deliveroo one with the northern accent woman handing out food from a range of take aways that I complained to OFCOM that it wasn't representative of a delivery.

They upheld it too.

Anything with Meerkats.

Peloton.
