Have you had enough of injury lawyersâ telling you help is on the way? Are you tired of cheesy adverts that make you cringe ? Do you think itâs time to put an end to those irritating slogans and songs that are constantly getting stuck in your head? If so, we can all agree that adverts should be put into room 101.

Like me, Iâm sure that most of you all watch quite a lot of TV. But does it not anger you that, just because we decide to watch a variety of entertaining programmes on ITV and Channel 4, we are unfortunate victims of ridiculous advertisements and catchphrases every ten minutes when itâs time for the so called break?!

I find it particularly frustrating when watching a high action film. Imagine: youâre sitting at home watching Die Hard on ITV, when the main character is on the verge of death and fighting his enemy in a high action scene. Your on the edge of your seat wondering whats going to happen next , when suddenly a big bloated man with a fake, cheesy moustache starts jumping around repeatedly singing âgo compareâ in an extremely annoying voice which completely destroys the tense atmosphere, following the trend of stupid adverts would be the highly annoying song we buy any car. This song not only sticks in your head, but makes you twitch for how bad it is. The thrill you once had quickly turns to anger, as you feel ready to throw your television screen out the window. However its not just these 2 adverts. There are hundreds and hundreds of other irritating commercials. It has also been statistically been proven that 94% do not pay any attention to T.V adverts. This more evidence to why adverts should be banished to the darkest corner of room 101.

    Advertisement has become so engrained in modern society, it is nearly impossible to go through a normal day and not be overwhelmed by it. Whether it be watching TV or walking through a city street, people are bombarded with hundreds of ads trying to sell their product on why it is the best. The persuaders documentary does a great job of highlighting this when they described marketing and advertisement today. The constant need for companies to make their product know or keep their product relevant has led to a clustering of information as depicted in Time’s Square. This sensory overload of ad after ad has led to a numbing reaction by the consumer in which they no longer notice the ads as much as they use too. The documentary does a great job…

    I can tell be honest when I say ads sometimes get in the way of what I'm trying to watch or listen too . I usually just turn the volume of and start doing something else in the meantime . I know the ads are usually just 30 seconds- 1 minutes but if you're really not into a certain ad at all it might take a century just to finish . Advertisements are not always believable .…

    Everyday, we see advertisements all around us. Weather we choose to look at them or not, they are there. Reading from the text, “Advertisings Fifteen Basic Appeals” by Jib Fowles, talks about how advertisements manipulate the public. I have chosen to pick five advertisements of my own and will describe them and see, in my opinion, if these advertisements do manipulate me in any way. But not only will I examine these and give my opinion, I will describe them and tell what need it is targeting to get our attention the most.…

    The effects of advertising on our minds have left a scar on the name of advertisement. The criticism has piled up and is now a name that advertisers must live with.

    This advertisement is incredibly persuasive due to the extended use of Ethos, Logos, and Pathos. The goal of the advertisement is to show you exactly what could happen when distracted driving. From the very beginning of the advertisement to the little boys’ sneaker lying in the road, we are shown the reality of the situation and our emotions are heightened. The advertisement captures our attention and keeps us holding on to the very end. It forces us to think about our actions as well as others actions around us. We are left very wretched and distraught after watching the entire…

    The One Show, 6th October 2014, Textual Analyses of first 3 minutes As a live television programme The One Show must be clear and succinct, so that the programme takes place within the set time while having the authenticity of it all happening at the same time it is being watched. The importance of television being live can be explained by Philip Auslander, ‘the common assumption is that the live event is ‘real’ and that mediated events are … artificial reproductions of the real.’ However, with a combination of both live and pre-recorded it could be argued that this ‘liveness’ is not essential.…

    A team of researchers at the University of Southampton have looked into how the use of language in the NHS smoking advertisements has an impact on viewers and explored whether the language has developed in the extent of its influential power. They found that a number of the TV adverts, in fact, used very little language and relied mainly on the visuals to make their point such as in the ‘Getting Unhooked’ advert in which a fish hook is used to represent a smoker’s addiction and the ‘Hidden smoke’ advert in which the cigarette smoke in the air is coloured black to see how much it effects those around you.…

    Everyday ads are shown through newspapers and media. We can see them everywhere, from park benches to sides of buses. However, no one really pays attention to any of them. They are skipped, ignored, and turned over to the next page over by many every single day. The most commonly used saying about ads that one could hear is that they are simply “annoying”. Whether there is a celebrity in them or not, people just want to continue with what they are reading, trying to watch, or listen to.…

    So, what I wonder is why aren't adverts getting stopped forever? Well, when asking around I've been told that some people wrongly think adverts are useful, saying they use this time either to go to the toilet or make a drink or snack. Well, when counting up the amount of advert breaks in-between an hour-long program I was watching yesterday, there was a massive 4 breaks interrupting it! No way do people need to get up and do these so-called useful things 4 times in an hour, which is every 15 minutes, which is ridiculous!…

    Either we like them or we don’t. That’s the simple truth. And if we’re perfectly honest, most of the time we don’t. Advertising has always been a daring game in the 21st century, though. Facts, figures, weasel words, and magic ingredients: whatever the strategy, ads are everywhere, and with the opportunity to sway even a small fraction of 7 billion people, companies will stop at nothing to win us over.…

    One of the things that annoys me most are TV adverts. Now, I think that TV adverts are a bit like marmite, you either love them or you hate them. Personally I absolutely loathe them seeing as I find them really irritating as do most people. Whenever an advert comes on the TV I usually switch the channel to another programme that’s on until my programme comes back on. Why? Because TV adverts are just ridiculously annoying and so time consuming. One of the things that annoys me the most is when you have to change the channel because you don’t want to watch the advert but then you end up completely forgetting about your first programme causing you to miss it. I mean I believe that TV adverts are basically hated by everybody. To me there is nothing worse than watching your favourite programme and having to wait about 5 minutes during adverts to find out what happens next. For example, lets’ set the scene, you’re sitting at home looking for something good to watch. You find a horror film that looks quite good and that has just started. You start to really enjoy the movie, you’re dying to know what’s going to happen, you’re on the edge of your seat and the rising suspense is unbearable. You’re just getting to the best bit and all is about to be revealed when suddenly the darkness from your screen is replaced by bright light. The creepy tension building music has gone and now your ears are filled by with nice calming music as the John Lewis clearance advert begins. Then you have to sit there for the next five minutes having to…

    The modern advertiser stresses not the product but the benefits that may be enjoyed by purchasers. The fast talking and attractive videos and audio come-ons that persuade somebody to do something by flattery or gently but persistent through argument and attract consumers into buying the products or services they are hawking. The ubiquity of these advertisements makes them a constant part of everyday life. Yet beneath the smiles and smooth patter being kept up by the ad 's featured shills and beautifully…
