Please Make it Stop

[Wolfe Tone]

Anyone who has watched even a little television over the last couple of weeks should know what I am talking about. Those damn mobile phone ringtone adverts. That damn 'Crazy Frog' or those annoying little birds and other nonsense like that. It seems to be on 2 or 3 times every time there's an ad break. Also the volume seems to be set higher than the audio of normal programs and ads. It's enough to drive a person crazy. I would think that all the morons who wanted those pathetic ringtones already have them and there's no need for continued saturation. It's getting worse as they are starting to take over some web pages.

It is really getting out of hand. The owners of the company that's responsibe should be tried for torture or crimes against humanity or something equally as heinous

It's about the only advert shown now...

I heard the craxy frog before it became the craxy frog... It was on an insanity test... The adverts ruined it...

 

[samildanach]

I hate that frog. Pub morons seem to like him

 

[viper275]

I haven't heard that ad (maybe it's only in the UK?) but I have heard of the ringtones. They also tend to use the most obnoxius and repetitive songs I've heard, too. I know someone that uses those ringtones, and I almost want to yell every time that phone rings.

Edit: Oh, this is about that ad. It sounds annoying...

Extremely annoying. And the fact that they are on at least 10 times an hour doesn't help matters.

I'm a fan of BBC so don't know what you are talking about

 

[Joeb WK]

That bloody frog is without a doubt the most annoying thing on T.V I'm all hanging the people who made it. I really cant see whats so funny about it.

 

[Ciceronian]

Grrrrr I really hate all those ringtone and screenlogo ads. They are on all the time, really loud and with the most pointless and agitating tunes. These things must be really cheap to produce yet the prices charged are extortionate. Suppersalmon is right, these things could really drive you insane.
The first time I saw the Crazy Frog all I thought was "This is surely the downfall of Western culture". Such primitive c**p is advertised for on TV, which I cannot imagine anyone other than the most brainless pleb would ever want to download. But people are downloading it! The Crazy Frog is more popular with the youth of today in Germany than Bach or Goethe, the situation is so paradox you could laugh and cry simultaneously!

 

[ComradeDavo]

I hate that damn advert.

Death to the crazy frog!

Whilst watching Star Trek I was forced to swear at the TV for the duration of that advert! Needed.....to...realese....stress.....

 

[Reno]

Seen it only once on German tv, and it's true that the advert is annoying.

 

[GeneralZed]

When I first saw the frog and his sound he was doing, made me very angry because he used a sound of an insanity test which made me laugh so much, in the first time. Now I just feel anger when I hear that...

This test is much funnier than the ad.

It is threads like these that make me somewhat happy that my dad got in an extended arguement with the cable company recently and we no longer really watch much TV.

I HATE annoying commercials.

 

[Rambuchan]

Since we've been given more TV choice in the UK I've noticed that I watch far less TV. Jamster (and that *&$*ing frog) to me is just one of the indicators of how intellectually moribund the whole industry is becoming.

I used to work in film and TV but don't anymore partly because I found myself working on increasingly idiotic productions driven by some obscenely annoying commercial entity (such as Jamster but not Jamster). I used to think TV was a good thing but I'm not so sure these days. Jamster's frog has helped this process.

 

[stormbind]

I concur. The quality is terribly thinned out.

Back in the golden age of television, there weren't enough channels to show all the best programmes. Now we have multiple channels repeating old stuff that should never have had airtime, broken up by monotenous US-style adverts with a distinct lack of comedy.

It is a good thing I never paid much attention to television, but maybe that also explains why I don't make use of many channels.

Channel flipping is the result of having many weak simultanous broadcasts.

 

[Suppersalmon]

Quick someone apply for the job at Jamster and bring them down from the inside Link

 

[h4ppy]

I haven't heard the ad but I hate ring-tones so I'm kind of glad about that.

 

[amadeus]

TV commercials today are terrible.

Coke now has these ads out where they put a bunch of "teenagers" (who conveniently happen to be in their mid-to-late 20s) out to "make a movie." They go around to stupid things and supposedly interact with people, all of who are also oddly extremely attractive, as opposed to the typical acne-riddled teenagers.

It's the biggest piece of pandering pretentious marketing horse---- I've ever seen.

Commercials today now make me less inclined to want to buy their products more than anything.
