Companies you WON'T use due to their adverts

[megah0]

You must know what I mean, those adverts that are so annoying that you vow to never use the products, services or company involved.

I have several:

eSure car insurance due to Michael Winner.
Money Supermarket due to Ommid Djahilliorhoweveryouspellit.
Wonga.com nuff said.
Several on the radio, my personal most hated one is for a garden centre local to me, with some high pitched bint singing, the advert ends in "christmas comes to (company name) a million reasons to believe" A million? Really? List them. And believe in what? be more specific damn you!

What are yours?

Apple.

They take up to much of the flipping ad space with their overpriced poor technology, they also brainwash my colleagues and a lot of my friends so im forced to hear.... "OMG the new iphone is out, its so amazing and its better than your non apple device because APPLE ADVERT SAYS ITS SO FAST" day in day out! And i tell them to read the small print where the scenes have been cut out to make it look fast, they still dont listen though . They also seem to repeat way to often, i hate being show bull**** every other minute in the adverts lol.

And the same as you listed, they annoy me.

There are loads that annoy me and make me dislike the company/product but cant think of any others at the minute .


(PS: let the flame war begin?)

Not that I would probabily use any of the companies listed, but on principal for the adverts, or marketing tactics these lot are out.

Go compare.
We buy any car.
wonga.

More than likely many more that I cant remember off the top of my head.

Oh yes, we buy any car... what a lolable company , their adverts are annoying.... dad went to see about selling his xantia to them and they offered £50 where as the scrap yard offered £175! The car is being used now as i keep seeing someone driving it around LOL.

One advantage of not watching broadcast TV - I avoid all the really annoying adverts! I also very rarely listen to the radio, so basically I get the big billboards while I'm wooshing past on the bus, the online annoying flash ads, and that's it. And I don't think any of those have put me off buying any particular brands recently.

In a similar vein though, I do instantly shut *any* website that plays sound at me without me asking. What is this, 1998?

[GheeTsar]

Any price comparison website
Any ringtone advert
Any debt consolidation firm
Any no-win no fee solicitors
DFS
PC World

How did I forget we buy any car?!

And Lawyers4you. The tagline being 100% lawyers 100% compensation. Really? you employ no one just to answer the phones?

If I had ever been going to have anything off Sky, that new ad with those unbelievably lame blue things has done for that.

Most supermarkets, Morrisons in particular, and Caroline Quentin wittering & pulling twee faces for M&S *shudders*

Anything with a child in it

I was shocked the first time I saw the wonga advert, they made out it was so great... then you just look at that APR, its nothing more than an online loan shark to be frank I do not believe it should be allowed to trade.

[Funkstar]

Anything with a child in it

Anything with babies or animals talking.

[Behemoth]

Moon Pig
Funky Pigeon
We Buy Any Car
National Accident Help Line
Phones 4 u

I think thats about the lot.

That stupid Foxy Bingo advert at the end of Jeremy Kyle, there's just too much spacing in his speech. And then the swinging "Back in 5" sign, that's annoying as hell!

Also, vagisil, what a horrible advert! I don't wanna know about vaginal perspiration, thrush or itching, I just don't!

[Behemoth]

Men can suffer from Thrush too !

Wonga - Seriously, wtf?

Moonpig - I have always hated these adverts with a passion!

Vagisil - Lmao, its so funny!
