What Is Something You'll Never Buy or a Place You'll Never Shop at Based Purely on Their Advertising Campaign?

I despise the Vodaphone ad with that vapid jerk "Dylan" seemingly on every commercial break to the point I will never get a vodaphone plan.

Will never buy Red Bull because I hate their ads.

Will never buy anything Jo Silvagni advertises because I dont like her giant forehead and mouth and tiny beady little eyes.

Robins Kitchens can blow a goat.

Never get a haircut at Stefans because of his old ads on Bert Newton with his silly jingle and pink powerboat.

And finally CITY TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit: forgot makin mattresses with the stupid woman saying “yes Mr Harvey we sell them you don’t”.

      Ads work, that’s why they’re beamed to the masses. No ads, no FTA TV or commercial radio.

      • GG57 on 05/04/2022 - 10:19

        I'm not sure that ads work.
        I am sure there is a whole industry that convinces business owners that ads work, and that they should 'invest' accordingly.

    The only ads I find really annoying are the ones Google pastes over something I need to see or use like the OzB search bar 😠. Although the huge new ads on Gumtree mobile are almost as bad. Want to see the content you’re searching? How about we give you this ad instead. Can’t boycott Google or Gumtree though.

    Basically everything that is advertised on tv. I can't remember any purchase I've made inspired by an ad. Not unless you count Woolies catalogues and the like but that's only if something is half price.

    • Euphemistic on 05/04/2022 - 18:50

      I was shopping around for insurance once and tried Youi. Couldn't get a price online. Had to provide my mobile number for someone to call me. What the hell is this? Every other company just gives me a price.

      So I wanted to see what would happen. Clicked, and a few minutes later someone called with a price, which was much higher than the competition. 'It's a great price, isn't it?' read the sales droid on the phone. I said no thank you and hung up.

      Youi. We get you. Annoyed.

      • chartparker on 06/04/2022 - 07:36

        Every time I checked Youi they came in way more expensive than both AAMI and RACV. Either I have cars that their pricing algorithm doesn't like or there are some suckers out there that just go with flashy ads without checking competitors pricing

        • brendanm on 06/04/2022 - 17:29

          Have a look under the people's names in the ads. Will be something like "only drives to work 3 days a week, where she has secure parking" or similar. It probably works out ok for someone with very specific, low vehicle usage circumstances, it just pisses every else off.

          Have to say they are good to deal with as a 3rd party though, had one of their customers hit my wife's car, Youi were great.

    Harvey Norman. Their advertising is annoying, but the most annoying person is Gerry Harvey himself. A billionaire who popped up in the media regularly crying poor.

    Also I avoid advertising whenever possible. Don't listen to commercial radio, pay for Youtube, record TV and skip the ads. Life is too short to spend time watching advertising.

    Gillette. A bunch of woke lobbyists got together and said "How do we relate shaving to toxic masculinity and male shame" and came up with that advert a couple of years ago. Their newer ads aren't bad (the one with the kid who pretends to sing - it's so low budget that it kind of won me over a bit). But being made to feel like toxic masculinity has to be associated with every male product to make behaviours change - try it on someone else, silly advertising agency. You're selling razors (overpriced ones at that), not psychology - and the idiots who support toxic masculinity aren't going to listen anyway!

It was so bad I wont buy anything made in Italy especially products that need parts.
