Generally speaking I avoid adverts like the plague by either watching stuff on catch-up, or, pausing a live show for 15mins, make a brew and then skip through that shite at my leisure.
There are two exceptions:
1) When I’m working away and don’t have the luxury of a Sky or YouView box.
2) Listening to commercial radio on my travels.
Now I know the BBC have no ads (currently) but they do have shit programmes not worth watching or listening to, so I see what’s on FreeView.
As soon as those 118 cunts come on I do a bit of channel hoping and every other commercial channel also seems to be running ads at *exactly* the same time! Cunts.
Same with commercial radio. As soon as an ad comes on I search up/down onto yet another ad, and another, and another.
Again you hit the odd BBC piece of shit but who the fuck wants to listen to Vanessa Feltz drone on about her fucking brood and her 1/2 frog grandkid at 5am in the morning! Not me, that’s for fucking sure!
When we only had ITV & CH4 you never got ads at the same time. Now in the digital era they’re all sync’d so if you do channel hop you still get to see some cunt’s advert knowing full well that for every cunt who’s hopped off their channel, at least one will hop on to theirs.
Whoever managed to organise advertising slots across channels – give or take 10secs – desperately requires an utter cunting! Fucking cunts!

Agreed Rebel without a Cunt!
This is why I drink so much fucking tea. As soon as the shit comes on I’m off.
I just can’t face the risk of accidentaly straying onto a British State Broadcasting Cunts chanel and catching some lefty victim telling me what a cunt I AM for what I believe in. It spoils my night fellow Cunts and Cuntesses. You don’t catch me on their box telling them what a bunch of cunts they are.
ITVs as bad now too. My eyes were shot at last night by some tom-boy-dyke giving a world ending speach about leaving Communist Europe (the stiff bitch didn’t acknowledge he Economic 4th Riech that we’ve almost got away from, of course)

Rember when Ads used to be good?
Nowadays on the sports channels it’s a loan-shark ad, followed by Ray Winston to blow your loan money ree-sporn-sibleeeee, followed by cash converters to flog your possessions in order to pay off the loan-shark because Ray – the cunt – didn’t pay out. Repeat.
Daytime TV’s advert ferris wheel is ambulance chasers direct, followed by are you looking after your family when you’re dead? Followed by pre-paid funeral services. Repeat.
Then you have the nauseatingly unrepresentative Xmas ads which doesn’t represent any kind of community I’ve ever lived in – and I’ve been all over the knot-end in the UK – just to fulfil a PC agenda.
And has anyone else seen the: “He’d set his heart on that bike?” pre-xmas loan-shark ad (on the low-rent FreeView/Sky channels) – utter disgrace!
And all synchronised with one another across 200 channels of shite! Radio the same.
I would like to start a campaign for honest advertising, e.g.
In the Coca Cola ads, rather than a young smiley “rainbow” of happy kids frolicking in the snow because Santa is fetching them a glass bottle of coke, I want to see some Jabba taking up the whole settee to themselves with a plate of cigarette butts on one side and 4L placcy coke bottle t’other, who gives the camera a smile when the “Only the real thing!” tag line appears revealing a solitary, half rotten away front tooth!
Or instead of pissing away money on exotic locations and actors to advertise the “all new Nissan Micra” (or any small car of any manufacturer) they should just show a bloke off to work in a factory, or a harried mum with two kids, and both just turn to the camera and say: “Yep, 52mpg!”
Etc.

At least that advert for Csillit Bang cleaning fluid isn’t being shown now…some cunt called Barry Scott bursting into a room bellowing like a water buffalo, couldn’t help thinking the daft cunt must be hard of hearing

The adverts are the whole point, the content is only there to attract us to sit there in front of the box and be good consumers.
Commerce is what keeps us in jobs or keeps us enslaved depending how you feel at the time. Sometimes I wonder what sort of world we could of built if we had paused to think……….oh look Amazon have a new talk thingy…. oh look a pigeon

Yes, this is indeed a cunt. However, I no longer work away (or at all) so only watch recorded stuff. Fuck the adverts. And in the car I only listen to my music (including 50 odd years of vinyl) on my USB. I am beyond the reach of these cunts, therefore I am a smug cunt.

Don’t know if this phenom has reached the great shores of Blighty, but over here in Yankland they’re rather partial to showing the same commerical back to back. That’s right, the exact same commercial twice in a row. In fact, I’ve actually seen it a few times where the same commercial was shown 3 times in a row. THREE FUCKING TIMES!
Then there are the ad breaks themselves where the same collection of ads are shown every single time. Do the advertisers think we all have Alzheimers? Some channels will tag on to the end of an ad break a promo for another one of their shows. EVERY SINGLE AD BREAK! Again, do they think we have Alzheimers? We just saw this 13 minutes ago you cunts!
Don’t know about you guys, but any ad which irritates me is a sure fire winner to never ever get my business. Especially those bastard ads which are shown back to back. It’s beyond annoying and I cannot for the life of me understand why Marcus or Rupert at the ad agency thinks this is a great idea. Presumably it’s an attempt to influence you through frequent and close proximity repetition. Wrong! Too frequent = annoying = I now hate the product, want the company to go out of business and the ad agency freakoid who came up with this bollocks to have dog poo shoved in every single orifice.
Happy Saturday to everyone!

I feel your pain Imitation Yank I use to watch telly like theres no tomorrow but the horrible commercials and shows themselves shown me it wasn’t bloody worth it. The advertisements nowadays are getting more annoying too before they were stupid but funny stupid creative stupid but the recent ones… blahh unbelievable shite!
“Fastest way to get a headache watch a commercial” “fastest way to get a migraine watch it again”

Yep they’ve started doing that here too. I never watch anything live. Always record and fast forward through the ads or download it without ads.
What pisses me off with American TV is that they go straight into the ads with no warning and you wonder what the fuck is happening at first!!
‘Sponsored by..’ gets on my tits too.

Wouldn’t it be great if the “sponsored by” programs/slots were sponsored by more appropriate sponsors.
“Loose Women, sponsored by Durex.”
“Lorraine, sponsored by Canesten.”
“Homes under the Hammer, sponsored by Black Horse Repossession Services.”
“The pollen count, sponsored by Always Discreet.” (think about it)
“Fifth Gear, sponsored by Halfrauds.” (no, not a typo)
“Judge Rinder, sponsored by KY Jelly.”

LBC radio is fuckin unlistenable to now. more fuckin ads than content . most of the stuff they advertise is for some sort of ‘service’, ie money for old rope. a good rule of thumb is if its advertised on there avoid like the plague.

A mightily good shout indeed. And how many are rammed down our necks by Dermot O’Dreary and that whining smugwipe David Mitchell? Oh then there’s Lenny Henry pretending to doss in the lap of luxury of a Premier Dustbin. Maybe not related ads but all part of a system orchestrated by cunts to keep us in a trance. Not fucking likely.
