That AOL advert that goes: “I want total catastrophic system failure!� and “I want to loose all my family’s pictures!� is really pissing me off at the moment. It’s using the same paranoid crap that Bush and friends used to win the election. Funny really, coz all the prats I know who use AOL seem to be Republican and/or military types. Serves 'em right, I s'pose, paying through the teeth for a crappy, overpriced service designed for simpletons.

That's when they are being nice! I work in the O.R and have seen them be cut open because they are so 'pumped up' on blue pills etc that they won't go down and jabbing them with big needles didn't work!!

Enjoy your 'pig in a blanket's' today hehe

I "resemble" that remark!

Hmm, ads that make me see red? Probably the ads that are for drugs that I have no idea what they're for?! I'm sure that the people who take them know, but then they don't need to be convinced, do they? That antacid touring bus couple have GOT to go!!!
Also, they have a habit of showing the same ad two times in a row. Deja vu all over again as Yogi Berra said.
I like the Geico ad, HP one (with the Kinks song) and the current one for Verizon (?) I think where the parents are watching the kids shovel snow outside to earn time on their phones.

That's a good verizon add, but the other ones, with the tour bus are annoying...

The Mercury adds where the couple are getting up and ready earlier each time...that's insanely annoying, as is the other mercury adds, like the guy on the date...

Default Re: Adds that make you see red?

Any advert that asks you to call a number at the end. I'm thinking in particular of those endless adverts which all seem to have the voice-over saying "But wait! If you call in the next 10 minutes....". A phrase which anyone with half a brain should realise is total b*llocks.

I'm getting fed up with those beer ads where the bloke makes his flatmate wear an electric shock pet collar to stop him nicking beer out of the fridge. They make me cringe, especially the one where he comes home to find his mate plus girlfriend dancing in the living room. Who does that?
