My friends, if you watch tv, chances are you will see the same advert over and over. While some are very good, others, not so much.... What adverts you do you dislike for whatever reason?

This advert is very annoying because cheese is cheese. It's a block a cheese. It's not fun at all. And if it was a character like the one in these adverts chances are you'd want it dead.

All of them. Even the ones that interest me. I don't care if they keep things free... I'd pay to have them shoved up their creators' backsides.

The chick (Lily I think her name is) in the ATT commercials trying to sell "10 gigs of data for a family of 4 is only $160 a month". She irritates the hell out of me and if I was a potential customer and that was her only spiel, I'd leave the store and keep Verizon.

I respect your opinion but Britain (specifically Scotland) we have some very memorable and well made adverts.

In 30 seconds a good Irn-Bru can pretty much demolish 90% of 30-60 minute comedy shows in terms of dark humor.

I hate pretty much any commercial. Especially if I'm watching something like CSI and I want to watch what happens next then...BAM:

"We have a heartworm treatment you can apply to your dog every three months! Every three months! Buy it now while it is still half the price of similar brands at petco"

I change the channel to something else and then change back to watch the show.

TV commercials don't really bother me. It's the internet ones that really grind my gears. Especially the ones that pop up with that extra, large window and try and hide the CLOSE button.

With adblock plus I haven't had a forced advert in years.

Saying that though, on the topic of internet ads, I hate the ones gamespot have in which in tiny tiny print it says "promo" when it's shit designed to sell call of duty under the guise of a legitimate show, using gamespot staff, studio and resources. It's seedy and **** and puts fuel on the fire for people who blast the gaming media.

I don't see so many commercials nowadays thanks to Dish but in general I can't stand commercials that try to make you feel emotional about things that don't need emotional attachment, or ones that make things sexual when they aren't supposed to be.

Same here. I don't think most TV or even internet ads annoy me that much.

I don't watch TV a lot anymore, but the commercials do annoy me sometimes when I watch. YouTube ads used to REALLY bother me, but then I discovered Adblock. Adblock>>>sliced bread. Nuff said.
