Adverts which make you hate the product

[Sethzard]

anything to do with McDonalds Commercials. Especially right now. Olympic athletes don't eat mcdonalds.

Well they do, if they want to get kicked from the team

"HEAD ON, APPLY DIRECTLY TO FOREHEAD!!!"

worst commercial of ALL time!

That stupid god damn Samsung commercial with the Asian woman who says "15 yearsh agoo, I lost mah sight...". It comes on every day at the same time, and we have grown so tired of it we just mute the TV or switch channels. It doesn't even advertise anything, its just really alloying, and has made me never want to buy a Samsung product, ever.

Well there is always evony... someone would have said it.

those don't make you hate the game persay, they are just misleading.

But it's the misleading commercials that can really piss you off. I tried Evony before they started their new "let's have a bunch of semi naked girls in our pictures" campaign, and if I had started after they started promoting the game with semi-naked women, I would have been pissed when I got to the game world and found out how you don't get to see semi-naked women, or any person for that matter, and how horribly slow the game is, thus making me hate the game for being misleading.

I hate most adverts. I take the mentality of;
I know what I want, and what brand I want it in, I do not need people screaming at me to buy their shit.

More specifically though, injury lawyer adverts fuck me off something awful. While the clip of some fake accident is being played and voiced over by some fake person, the colour is washed out and the music is glum, then after the advert explains what they do and shit, the colour is over saturated the and music much nicer. It's possibly the least subliminal shit ever.

Let's not forget the billions of prescription drug commercials. I never know what the drug does. All I get from the commercial is that you'll be happy and jumping on a trampoline with your new puppy.

I group these commercials with the lawyer commercials.

That's why mum's go to Iceland!

...You wish, I'm afraid you've blinded yourself with your own idiocy.

AT&T and Verizon have awful ads, they're just slinging shit at each other and making themselves look like assholes. Seriously, I haven't heard anything but, "Verizon > AT&T" or "NO, AT&T >> Verizon" for over a year.

And any insurance commercial (ESPECIALLY Progressive) except Gieco.

I know that, but why is Barry Scott introducing himself as if his personal endorsment means something?

I have no idea and I don't really care to be honest. He's just a guy from an advert at the end of the day. Maybe it's similar to cold callers phoning you and starting the conversation with 'Hi, I'm whoever and although you have expressed no interest in our product, I'm still going to try and sell it to you.'

I don't watch TV so don't have to watch those stupid ads anymore, just thought it would be amusing to point out the obvious.

Why they got rid of the Gieco Gecko, I don't know.
Also, I don't really watch T.V. anymore, although ads for Evony annoy me.

If you can't say anything good about your own product, it's probably shit.

Wow, all those commercials and not one thing about gaming.

I never cared for Macs. If you really want to make a comparison you should compare the Windows Vista OS to the Ubuntu Linux OS.

I hated that Bayonetta ad.

Also Like someone said above me Car Insurance adds, expect geico.

'HeadOn, apply directly to the forehead! HeadOn, apply directly to the forehead! HeadOn, apply dire- *blam!*' Those commercials must have earned a record for how quickly people came to hate them. Oh, other commercials that tend to annoy me are locally produced ones for local businesses, mainly because the actors are very bad.

PSP Squirrels...

Spoiler

I know. There must be something in the water in Sony's marketing departement. All Sony's advertisments are fucking insane or freaky.

Most beer commercials remind me of why I don't drink beer: to avoid drunken assholes. Remember that one where the guy sicked a bear on his friend.

Many of the commercials in the Superbowl this year were incredibly sexist.
