That disaster moment when you are watching your favourite movie and you end up muting your TV or freeze it. Why? The annoying adverts such as Go compare and Big fat gypsy. It drives me nuts that I even sometimes just want to turn my TV off. I bet you hate the irritating opera singer too. The jingle won’t get out of my head. Amusing ads like the Meerkat one I like and will tend to go for - 'Go Compare' drives us daft. The advert’s main point to the audience was meant to be car insurance but all I can think about is the irritating ‘sound’.

The first commercial featured former England left back, Stuart Pearce, who is famous for football, aiming a football at the annoying Gio. Well first off I was so glad that Stuart had the same feeling as the audience towards the Italian character Gio who is deliberately repeating the annoying company jingle. However kicking a football into the singer’s stomach has set bad examples for the children. Children are likely to obey what they see and copy what they learnt. Even though the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) claimed that the commercial was a ‘light-hearted’ meant no offence or either set a bad examples. Well we all agree that the producer should of thought about the consequences. Right?

Yes, right. How dare the ASA back the company up saying the images meant to be a joke? They need to be able to make proper, informed choices about what products and services are available to them. It is hard to avoid adverts between programmers, and children are exposed to this ridiculous, senseless and violent advertisement. The go compare advertisement didn’t just finish in one episode they decided to make another one too.

Wimbledon presenter Sue Barker for ‘blowing up’ the irritating Go Compare opera singer with heavy machinery in a new TV advert. Again, first they showed inappropriate view for children now they are showing violence by using a heavy weapons to attack somebody. Isn’t the first one was

    c. The television commercial is a terrible thing. The move away from the use of propositions in commercial advertising began at the end of the nineteenth century. But it was not until the 1950 's that the television commercial made linguistic discourse obsolete as the basis for product decisions. By substituting images for claims, the pictorial commercial made emotional appeal, not tests of truth, the basis for consumer decisions. (Neil Postman, 1985).…

    There are now at least over 10 different Go compare adverts and each of them there is a different setting, with the same message which is to ‘’Go compare’’. All of these adverts have the same main character; the Big Guy dressed in suit and has a distinctive moustache. The ‘’Go compare advert also has very memorable theme song. The theme song is mainly vocal and quite loud. The phrase ‘’Go compare can be heard throughout the commercial which adds to making it a very memorable one. The specific ‘’Go compare’’ advert that we looked at as a group is the one with the setting on the beach where the big moustache Guy comes running out of the…

    All commercials appeal to a person using at least one of three ways: logos, pathos and ethos. When I think of an ad that displays pathos, I think of the disheartening commercial for the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). It is an advertisement that is on TV often whose purpose is getting its audience to support its cause through donations. Because the video shows such resilient emotional appeal, it more effectively targets women who tend to be more susceptible to sentimental propaganda than men. The video is saying that many animals have been helped, but more has to be done. There are still animals out there in need of being rescued from their abusive homes. More donations are needed. The…

    Sainsbury’s launched a Christmas TV advert that showed a story based on the 1914 Christmas Day truce during the First World War. Most complainants objected to the use of an event from WW1 to advertise a supermarket. While acknowledging that some found the ad to be in poor taste, the ASA did not judge the ad to be offensive and in breach of the Code.…

    Why do charity adverts get complaints? Shocking, inappropriate, offensive- these words are often thrown at charities about their advertising. The Barnardo’s ‘Stolen Childhood’ campaign is typical of charity adverts, which engages people to donate, take action and make changes. Surely this means for people to support this charity, and not something to be complained about? The Barnardo’s campaign has created great controversy. This has made the public disapprove and to some what find disturbing.…

    The Superbowl has been a part of American culture for what is now 50 years, as of yesterday. Many people enjoy it for different reasons, whether it's actually watching the football, the food at parties, or what most enjoy, the commercials. The commercials are enjoyed almost as much as the football itself, because in order to get your ad in the Superbowl, you have to pay a rather demanding fine. So, as a result of the large payment, companies will up the bar for the quality of their commercials, to make sure their money doesn't go to waste. One of these commercials was by Mountain Dew, showcasing their new flavor of kickstart, midnight grape, with a rather obscure mascot dubbed "puppy monkey baby." Yet how did it hold up compared to all of the other commercials?…

    olution is to boycott this kind of advertising and legislate rules and guidelines for the advertisers. Although it is true that these types of advertisements are deceptive and disappointing, I disagree with Jozui’s solution because advertising is just another average appeal. Maybe her solution is not the best oIn the prompt, Sue Jozui claims that advertisers use celebrities’ testimonials over their products to gain the approval of the consumers. She identifies this as a problem because it is a misleading type of marketing that insults the intelligence of the audience. She argues that we should not fall for their tricks because the celebrities are getting paid to promote their products; however, this does not mean they actually approve of them or even use them. Her sne out there. I believe that making legislate rules is going a bit too far.…

    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.…
