I tend to avoid anything by Danone since their pseudo-science BS.

It's not so much pseudoscience as science that is in the early stages of research. So they shouldn't be latching on to it just yet.

You know the one..
Where the woman is worried about her HUSBAND and her tiny little babies:mad:
Jesus i hate that woman :mad::mad:

The way she says 'husband'. Soooo affected. :mad::mad::mad:

Bipolar Joe

That Done fucking Deal advert where the woman sells her husband to some other lady. Basically anything sexist really, REALLY winds me up, but that one put me into a state of rage.

And all shaving adverts. Awesome, you strapped yet another blade to a plastic stick. Calling it the Mach 19 Ultra Xtreme Mighty Behemoth F1 GrandMaster Stubble Destroyer isn't going to make me buy the fucking thing because I'm not a God damn idiot, you fucking marketing bastards.

Meteor ran me away years ago with their god awful ad campaigns. Next month will be cruel because the fcukers always roll out their Christmas sh1te in November. I think a lot of people are still scarred by the smug beardy carol singing twat from the last couple of years.

The ad for Optilase laser eye surgery when one of the post-op women says "I haven't looked back since" .... not the greatest of catchphrases all things considered.

Men who can cook are HOT. There's something very sexy about a man in the kitchen.

rubadub

I get put off by over advertised products, as I know I am probably paying over the odds for the product just to pay for the very ads I watch, whether I like them or not.

Used to love Maltesers until that fcuking stupid god awful women feeling naughty ad.

These ads just highlight the small portion sizes of these bars. Wispa & aero are 2 others full of air, all about the same kcal per 100g. They usually go out of their way to hide the small size by often not quoting its weight directly on the pack.

That McDonald's add with the cheers song.

It's all about healthy Irish produced food meanwhile;

That video is unfair. They should have cooked their own version and had it alongside it. If they did I would expect similar results from the 'unprocessed'/'healthy' version as the McDs. Skinny fries like that contain very little water, so do not really go mouldy, just like crisps do not, they are self preserving. Same with dried out bread & meat. If making their own version I would guess any decent chef is probably adding the same, or more salt than McDs, which helps preserve it too. I think this experiment was done in a very hot & dry state in the US.

Real men DO cook.

My speciality is steak and sweet potato, and spaghetti and meatballs.

Ladies, back off.

"Real men don't cook" guess that's why all the most famous chefs are men then..

I also have an irrational hatred for the way yer one says 'Mmm, Danone.' It's on par with the 'Zoom zoom zoom' from those Mazda ads.

real men cant cook ?

i say whalt whitman would disagree - that man can cook

bnt

I saw the headline, didn't read the details ... thought it was reverse psychology, selling something for real men who cook.

Remmy

That toothpaste ad where the woman does some challenge which involves her squeaking her teeth every few hours. Really annoying.

Also the Marco Pierre ad where he is extolling the virtues of his stock cubes. C'mon man .

steddyeddy

Very intelligent thread idea op! Hmmm I dont know about ad's that have turned me off a product really but the "real men dont cook" slogan would annoy me! the best cooks in my family were also the hardest b*stards going!

Edit: Oh wait that disgusting KFC ad where the women talk with their mouths full!

Dangerous Man

Bloody brilliant thread. There's this ad on the tele for Fisher Price - it has the most annoying twee background music 'we are exactly one of a kind...' inspired by Feist or some such shit and it makes me want to stamp on babies. Fisher Price will never find its way inside my home. Fisher bastards.

I know. If I just had a section and was facing 6 wks recovery and had premature twins I wouldn't be worried about my husband, He should be worried about the three of them.

And real men can cook. I wouldn't have much respect for a man who can't/won't cook and need a mammy replacement. Being able to cook is one of the very basic things an adult does or should do to take care of themselves.

Hande hoche!

+1 really wanted to hurt that gob****e. On the plus side it seems daft dave is gone for good.

"Real men cook" would be more accurate tbh.

Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Oliver, women love them.

Andrewf20

Real men do cook. One hand with a 20kg dumbell, the other with a frying pan. Its all real.

There really is a bang of 1950 off that add campaign. Woman in the kitchen, man at the 9 to 5.

Think it's a McDonalds ad where they're advertising their coffee and those annoying teenage girls are at the table and one says "and then he says see you later, like what does that even mean" I am never drinking McDonalds coffee again.

Why the fcuk couldn't he get out at the next stop and go back? The Paris - St Petersburg Express doesn't exist anyway.

Besides it is mass produced p*ss water and gives me a headache. Reason enough not to drink it.

Yeah, terrible ad. At one stage it shows the train traveling by some Alpine looking mountains, when in fact, "the Paris to St. Petersburg express" would travel via most of the European plain.

Has anyone else seen this poster all over the place? It's a marketing advert for some take out to deliver.

If anything this has made me not want to order from this crowd, the odd time I do order take out. The ad hasn't offended me, but I just think the slogan is pretty stupid and this is one of those Go-compaaare! effects where I will never ever buy your product or use your service as a result of your marketing.

So, what businesses have turned you against them as a result of their adverts?

Ah now, c'mon we do

Couldn't agree more.
Saw the ad yesterday and genuinely thought "Well I won't be using that service"
Stupid marketing, lazy marketing, and potentially offensive if you're a bit ofa sensitive sod...in which case you probably cook cos you're not a real man.

I tested this. Looks like the answer is "no". I put loads of things in front of them and they couldnt tell me how many there was each time.
