Does youtube really think I'm going to sit through 45+ second ads to watch a 1 minute clip? I can't even imagine YouTube without ublock origin. If ublock gets defeated I'll just never use YouTube. Or most of the internet. |

I often use the app on my Xbox but every couple weeks the amount of ads becomes insane.
Only thing that doesn't get them are the shorts videos.
And half of them are clips from a show/film but titled like it's a real situation and they all use the same music.
Like this shit

How has Tom Kerridge managed to lose so much weight? His latest advert for M&S has him cooking beef, carrots and dumplings, and it looks lovely. But each item is tiny when served to when they are shown being cooked. I often try things as I am cooking, but that bastard has eaten two thirds of the dinner.

Who on earth for that Qatar Airways ad with the AI faces was a good thing.

We listen to Absolute Radio a lot working at home. Radio adverts are still the absolute worst by a huge margin.

Get an internet radio and find a channel with no adverts, there are plenty, I listen to an Ibiza house station, no adverts except for their own station but there are so many to choose from. For a while I used to listen to some local town channel somewhere in the US, all the adverts were local for Al's Air Conditioning or Joe's Repair Shop or whatever so quite novel but the music output was just fine.

Why does it seem like every ad now have someone do a silly dance? Hoping for the off chance it takes off on TikTok or something?

Persil, for that hideous slowed down version of Dreams by The Cranberries.

Every Christmas since the 1990s Bring back Tweed Agreed Floggers of perfume cheaping out & recycling their nonsense adverts from last year If purveyors of perfumed pisswater can't be arsed to update their marketing for yet another year then I feel no guilt at recycling last year's complaint |

It’s a load of Americans that have been dubbed. It’s simple. If you can’t be arsed to make an advert for the U.K. I can’t be bothered about your product. |

Could fill a thread with shitty Christmas ads alone. Lily Allen covering Keane was seventh layer of Hell level shite.

I don't find it annoying, but it's bonkers that Nintendo can make a new advert for the Switch that mostly uses Mario Kart 8, which first came out in 2014.

Nintendo adverts are the worst.
Homogeneous, inoffensive, banal nonsense that suggests Nintendo games are just for kids.

To be fair that one with the depressed man playing Tears of the Kingdom was brilliantly weird.

For ten years, from 2005 to 2015, I worked at now-defunct kids' channel CITV. We had two large tellies in the office that were always tuned to the channel. And I'm sorry to report that, most of the time, kids' channels did not show ads aimed at actual children.
Most of the ads appeared to be aimed either at single mums or grandparents.

"Have you died? Are you going to die soon? Wouldn't it be great to be burned when you do? Yay, cremation, yay!"
Fuck. Off.

I was today years old when I found out CITV is no more. Kids today may have the internet, smartphones and any kind of technical advancement they want, but we had Melanie and Martina on Fun House. We had it better. It’s not even close. |

"Have you died? Are you going to die soon? Wouldn't it be great to be burned when you do? Yay, cremation, yay!" Fuck. Off. They should be advertising bio-degradable coffins, and really push the fact that traditional coffins are an overpriced fucking racket. |
