The worst commercial I keep on hearing are the spotify premium ads. I hear around 3 different ones every 20 minutes .Since I'm too broke to afford spotify premium, I have to hear the same ads over and over when I'm listening to music. At this point, I've probably memorised what all the ads say. Whenever I hear the ads, I just get annoyed and sometimes angry. But I found a way to stop hearing them! Whenever I hear the ad, I just exit and close the app then go back on and the ad disappears. https://youtu.be/gCVxOyB_n-8
ReplyDeleteI completely agree, those ads get on my nerves, same thing for SoundCloud! Great blog!
DeleteI agree, when I'm listening to music with you its really frustrating when there's an ad. Good blog!

DeleteSeriously you always hear those.
DeleteFor me the most annoying ads are from when like your playing a game or on a social media and then this commercial comes on with the caption being only 0.01% of people can make it to level 6 even though for level 6 you just have to draw a straight line, and another caption similar to that is that if you make it to level 6 you are legally skilled. Another example of this ad is on one side the mom is playing and on the other side the dad is playing and somehow the mom always wins. They just annoy me so much and another reason why they're kind of annoying(and this is only for some of them) is because they literally make the x so small that if you try and click it, it will bring you to the download page. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYXS2eBZo3A
ReplyDeleteThose are also super annoying, especially the mom and dad ads. Great blog!
DeleteI agree, and after a homescapes ad got banned for false advertising I was very happy. It's like only 1% percent can solve this! :o but its just something stupid like which one is the murderer but theres a guy standing there with a sign saying im the murderer and theres no other options to pick from. It infuriates me.
DeleteI agree those ads are very stupid.
DeleteI agree, I hate those ads
DeleteOne advertisement that I hate is one for SodaStream. Once my family and I were watching television and that particular ad came on about 10 times. By the end of the show we were watching, we had all memorized it perfectly. The worst part of the ad is that the lady in it is walking in a bunch of plastic bottles and yelling at the same time. When I heard this ad for the first time I thought it was okay, but then it just kept playing and I got really annoyed and frustrated. https://www.ispot.tv/ad/I8H4/sodastream-plastic-bottles
ReplyDeleteThat ad is so annoying!
DeleteI've pretty much memorized it too because I have seen it so many time! Great blog!
DeleteI'm not sure what the commercial or advertisement is called but I have to shut it off everytime that I hear it. They always play it on the radio in between songs. It's related to Covid and it's this girl saying how she is alone everywhere. "There I am alone at the park, there I am alone at home, there I am blah, blah ,blah" It's so depressing!!! They are trying to send the message that we need to be alone to protect ourselves, but they don't have to keep on reminding us.
ReplyDeleteMy least favourite commercial is on the radio and its about speeding in a school zone. They basically repeat the same line. “I was driving and I hit a kid” they same this line about 4 times getting slower and slower each time. On the time the line gets changed into “ I was driving and avoided a kid”. I really don't like this commercial because it gets over played so after awhile it got super annoying. I don't really react but every time I do hear it it just reminds me of how much I do hate it.
ReplyDeleteI agree that ad is extremely annoying
DeleteAn ad that I find annoying is yOuTuBe PrEmIuM. While im watching a youtube video and I pause it for a second, it goes WaNt tO TrY yT pReMiuM. I then go no thanks and move on. But it just keeps on coming. Like jeez youtube, what do you think my answers gonna be after you ask for the 100th time? Whenever I see it, I wish there is a flip the middle finger at the ad button, but sadly no one has invented this yet so I just go no youtube, stop asking!https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2Fassholedesign%2Fcomments%2Fcdr77q%2Fthis_youtube_premium_ad_that_appears_every_time%2F&psig=AOvVaw26AnCe_7NfV3LpmQZ_sERZ&ust=1603312739301000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCJC-_MODxOwCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD
ReplyDeleteI agree, I hate it if I just need to pause it for just a second or just pause by accident, it always has to show up which frustrates ma a lot. Good job
Deleteyea those ads are so annoying great blog.
DeleteFor me, the ad that I hate the most are just those stupid ads such as "try to complete this level its impossible". It frustrates me as first of all, it always interrupts my videos and second of all it says that mother is always better than father. Literally the levels are very easy and they try to manipulate you to get it as the repetition of the video and how easy the game/level actually is. Personally, these types of ads just make me want to not play them even more as they bother me all the time. Unfortunately I don't have a video to show you but you have probably already experienced it.
ReplyDeleteThose impossible ads are really annoying and 99% of the time the level is super easy. good blog
DeleteI think the most annoying ads are the coronavirus awareness ads that often play on the radio. My least favourite of this genre of ad are the ones that are songs, these don't play as much on the radio as much as they used to but they are still annoying. I especially hate these because everyone already knows that social gathering is prohibited and that covid is spreads very easily. So I don't understand why these ads have to play multiple times every ten minutes.
ReplyDeleteI dislike those ads too, great blog!
DeleteI don’t have an ad that really bothers me but the ones that I can’t skip are annoying. I always get this 20 second ad about a workout app that seems pretty bad. I don’t need to do a regular workout, the workout I have is one that I created with my trainer that is best for me. Everyday I get the same ad and bothers me. It seems like youtube really wants me too download this app. I would prefer no ads but it would be better with a variety of ads instead of the same one over and over.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, the workout ads have no logic in them.
DeleteMy least favourite ad that i've ever heard was the ad by Reese for Spotify. It's already annoying enough to have your music being stopped but this ad fills me with rage. It gets me so mad because it's supposed to be an "asmr" of someone opening the Reese to show how "satisfying" it is. The ad always catches me off guard and the sound of the packaging opening infuriates me so much that I can't even describe the annoyance I get from listening to that sound. I don't know who thought of that commercial but I wish them the worse in life. I couldn't find the actual ad since it's more sped up, but this one is the closest one. https://youtu.be/3IPijKSdGCM
ReplyDeletehaha yea i hate asmr its makes cringe so much. great blog!
DeleteThe most annoying commercial in my opinion is the “puppy monkey baby” one, I honestly don't remember what they were advertising and selling but I'm pretty sure it was some kind of soda and it was really weird. i think it was a super bowl ad and it was kinda funny at first but then it got really repetitive and annoying because it would play all the time. I don't see it as often as I used to but whenever I do, I just turn the volume down so i don't get a headache. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQcfK9EKfL4
ReplyDeletethose sound really annoying, great blog!
DeleteMy least favourite ads are the nerf gun 2.0 ads featuring the NHL stars Brady and Matthew Tkachuk where they are fighting for pizza, its on all my social media, and it frustrates me because theres these huge hockey players playing nerf guns in a house and it makes me cringe. I actually like the Tkatchuk brothers as well as players, so the fact that an ad that they are a part of gets on my nerves, frustrates me even more.
ReplyDeleteGood blog, but I disagree. I would enjoy having the Nerf ads.
DeleteMy least favorite ads are the car ads. The reason for that is because they show up on youtube as I am watching videos all of a sudden, which is extremely strange because I have not lied about my age on youtube, and I can't even drive. Also every single ad that shows a bunch of stuf, yet somehow the ad is for a completely different product. It would show someone playing soccer, and then it's a watch commercial. Soccer athletes aren't even allowed to wear watches while playing!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree, the ads are even worse when they don't make sense!
DeleteMy least favorite ads are the unskippable ones on youtube, because you can be watching a video and out of nowhere a guy starts telling you about World of Warships. They are around twenty seconds long and you can't skip them. It's super annoying because it's the same thing over and over again. It's even worse when there are 2 consecutive unskippable ads because that's a good 45 seconds that you will never get back in your life. It's so frustrating because it's usually the same ads over and over to the point where you memorize what they say.
ReplyDeleteI hate those commercials.They always pop up when your watching a video on YouTube and they repeat the same ad on many different videos so that it may get stuck in your head.
DeleteThe most annoying add for me is definitely the little Caesars adds that come up on YouTube. I swear I have seen that add as many times as I have seen my own family it drives me insane and if you have ever heard the voice of their spokes person you can tell how irritating it gets.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. It seems every time I am on youtube all I hear is, " Hot and Ready!"
DeleteMy least favorite commercial is the one they play on the radio telling people to be cautious and to stay home. The commercial is of a girl with a monotone voice talking about how she is constantly alone at home and at the park... The commercial is super boring and depressing and I get annoyed every single time I hear it. I hate the commercial so much because when I am listening to music I do not want to be constantly reminded that there is a pandemic going on. (I can not find the commercial)
ReplyDeleteI agree, the commercial is really depressing and we don't need it to remind us about the pandemic. Great blog!
DeleteThe commercial that I dislike the most is ¨Cymbalta¨ which promotes a drug used to cure side effects of depression. This commercial starts off by introducing the side effects of depression and how it may cause anxiety but when you get to the end where they tell you the side effects, your in for a treat. This drug not only cures depression but may cause heart diseases, liver problems, high blood pressure,etc. The side effects of this drug takes up half the video.
ReplyDeletehttps://youtu.be/OTZvnAF7UsA
This ad also makes me really confused of wether its better to stick with depression other than taking this drug if I was suffering from depression
DeleteOne commercial I can think that I hate is the AFK arena YouTube ad. It is an ad about a game on the Playstore or the Appstore and I am glad that there is a skip button. It is very cheesy and trying to be a funny type of ad. For example, one time it said that a way to get rid of AFK arena ads is to download the game, but it doesn’t work like that which makes me hate it even more. The main reason why I hate it is the person talking. He talks about it way too enthusiastically and I know that the person just wants to get over with the ad. Whenever I see the ad, I just count it to see how many I can get in one day so I can see how desperate the company wants you to download the game. https://www.afkarena.net/
ReplyDeleteTo be honest any youtube add pisses me off. One that comes to mind is any of the food related ones. A food add is never right, though if you try the food its sooo good but still doesn't look the same. these ads are mainly just to get you to buy their products I understand why they would lie but it still gets me frustrated especially the mcdonald ones for some reason. I buy a big mac and it comes all un done it makes me think sometimes, am i really loving it? But then I take that first bite and I couldn't care less about what it looks like cause it just tastes so good.
ReplyDeleteFor me the adds that get on my nerves the most are the ones on sketchy movie websites, the adds aren't just videos, these will pop up a tab and every once in a while they can be very inappropriate, it only takes 1 second to delete the tab but if I'm lying down near falling asleep and I have to get up to delete a tab that really get's under my skin. Also, YouTube has started putting two adds back to back which are sometimes not able to be skipped, very irritating.
ReplyDeleteThe most annoying ad that I get constantly in mobile games are the mm and dad ad. This ad is basically an ad where it shows an easy game with two people playing, your mom and dad. Your mom would be level 100 and she would be doing so good while your dad is level 1 and is really bad. I really detest this ad because of how many times I've gotten this ad and how unrealistic it is. I've gotten it millions of times and it is just gotten to the point where when I get it, I just close my phone and stop playing. It is so unrealistic because this game is so easy a toddler could be 100 times better and the dad side of the game which makes it more annoying for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPo07qglsE0
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen that ad but it sounds super annoying! Nice blog!
DeleteI don't have a specific commercial that I dislike, but I do dislike the ads that just come out of nowhere when you are watching a video on Youtube or while listening to music on Spotify. The ad just pops up and says if you manage a team you have to try Monday.com... It's pretty annoying because it interrupts the video or the song, and sometimes you can't even skip it. It's always the same ad that kept repeating for multiple times, and in the end, I can even memorize it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ELpzmNeS4M
ReplyDeleteAn ad that i can't stand is probably the bank one i see when i watch the british bake off since i just want to see what the bakers can make. The reason it annoys me is the fact that it is the same one being repeated a million times. I just laugh because it is only seconds long. Sorry, i can't find the link.
ReplyDeleteI do not have a least favourite ad in particular, but I do hate the ads that you cannot skip. I hate them because if I’m on youtube or other social media, I just want to see the video, but instead I have to watch an ad and wait 60 seconds. It is really annoying to have to watch an ad for that long on something I’m not even going to buy. I think that for every ad we should be able to skip it if we don’t want to watch it.
ReplyDeleteMy least favourite ad is the Selena Gomez's new makeup line "Rare Beauty". That ad was plastered all over all my social medias and drove me crazy. I memorized every single line of the ad, Im convinced that she spent more money on the advertisement than the actual product. Even though I saw this ad so many times, I was never inclined to even look at the website or purchase the product. By over advertising an ad ur just enraging everyone and aren't neccesarily going to make sales.
ReplyDeleteMy least favorite adds are definitely YouTube adds. These adds are just the worst of the worst, they are almost always unskipable, they last like 30 seconds and sometimes if you're watching a really popular video from a good youtuber he could have 5 adds in a 10 minute video, which I find to be completely obnoxious. It also sucks that all the adds are never showing anything good, it's always some dumb stuff about a swiffer wet jet or how to get insurance or how to book a cruise, which is so dumb because the last add you'd want to post on a Minecraft or an Among Us youtube video is something about taxes because the audience is made up of people from 9-17 years old and yet they are the adds I see the most frequently after the stupid "CaN u EscAPe ThE BoX!!?? game adds that no one has ever downloaded. All in all adds are useless and I dont think that people should pay money to produce them.
ReplyDeleteI also hate how you can't skip them! Good point!
DeleteAds annoy me a lot, but the one that annoys me the most is probably the covid one on the radio because they repeat the same thing like every hour. especially the ones they make songs out of, i dont know why but I can't stand them at all they really get on my nerves most probably because they're so bad. I usually get really annoyed and get up and change the station.
ReplyDeleteMy least favorite advertisement in the world is the Joe Fresh clothing one. It is the only ad in YouTube that you can't skip and it is one minute long. It is the most annoying ad in the world because all it shows it happy people jumping up and down in slow motion about how cool they look in Joe Fresh clothing. Their clothing doesn't even look the best so I have no idea as to why they are so happy. Every time I see this ad, I exit google and search up whatever video I was going to watch again. I keep doing this until I get an ad I can skip, or at least an ad that doesn't drive me crazy. I can't seem to find the link sorry.
