Question

Have you watched an advert that makes you not want to use a product?

Answer 1

Yup. Remember those Herbal Essence Commercials that used to come on a few years ago where the woman would be washing her hair and moaning and groaning like she was having an o****m?

I always found those really disturbing because I knew no shampoo was THAT good. I purposely didn't use it because I was so turned off by the commercials.

Answer 2

The head on commercial. that commercial is soooo annoying! Head on apply directly to the forehead! (times 8)

Oxy clean commercials and anythign else that is advertised by billy mase.

Sonic ccommercial for those smothies. would u like some fries with that shake?!?!?1?

Answer 3

lol....In the US Subway came out with 5 dollar footlongs, then a month later Quiznos decided to follow suit.  Except the Quiznos commercial all start off with someone eating a 5 dollar bill!!! Someone needs to seriously explain to Quiznos that money is dirty and the idea of eating it makes us all want to....lose our lunch, not buy it.  Seriously, they even had a weird nasty looking rat as their "mascot" on their commercials for a couple years.  

Also, there's a commercial for some sort of financial investment company that uses a cartoon fox as their "mascot."  When I think of a fox I think of old fable that teach you that foxes are clever, sly, smooth talking, and evil.  Not the kind of place I would go to invest my hard earned money.

Answer 4

Several ;-). The Sony Bravia TV ad with the bouncing balls got so much on my girlfriend's nerves that she vetoed me buying a Sony flatscreen.

Other than that I can mention Daz's TV adverts in the UK, any of the TV adverts for loan refinancing companies and compensation lawyers/vultures and an advert I saw many years ago for a car company stating that this was their "quality year". I just feel sorry for the people who bought a car in any other year :-).
