The one for deodorant set in a gym with several very overweight women shaking their fat about and sweating profusely. Blurrrgh! I can almost smell them! Whatever were the people who came up with this advert thinking? Clean and fresh is good. Fat and sweaty isn't.

What advert puts you off buying the product?

Haribo sweets, I find the ads really creepy
thankfully I hardly ever watch an advert.
Any ads that feature a celebrity; the amount of money they pay these people, who often don't even use the product, means they're overcharging us to pay them.

TTT, nor me. I record almost everything I want to watch so zoom through them. This one I have seen though ... unfortunately.
What about white and sweaty Naomi?
Question Author
Fat and sweaty is fat and sweaty, Margo.
That IKEA advert where a man greets you at the door to show you around. He is so off-putting.
No advert would put me off buying a product, any stupid or daft advert is a waste of time and nothing to do with the product itself.
Haven't seen this as don't watch ads but why bring colour into the discussion, Margo?
Fat and sweaty is fat and sweaty as Naomi says. Whatever colour or creed. Not nice.
I've just looked at this again and can only apologise Naomi. For some unknown reason I read that as black and sweaty (unbelievable I know) and thought 'how rude' I'm squirming with shame now :-((.
Anything advertised with mostly non-white participants, I just assume it's not made for me, like hair straightening serum, skin lightener and clothes to fit an enormous posterior.

That's not a definitive list.
if the makers of Lynx deodorant had any real idea what a goat actually smells like, they surely wouldn't have used one in their most recent advert...... :-0
Ads where people are all delighted they got a loan .
The Lynx goat advert - I know GOAT stands for greatest of all time, but goats smell disgusting. Ask the children who used to sit next to the farmers lad who spent a lot of time with his goats!
Those Sun Life Ads where he's so delighted to get a free gift with the policy!
Oh, and anything that has bright young things dancing and doing that one arm in the air thing that appears to be written into law.

Ad makers are anything but creative.
For me it has to be Go Compare.
My most hated advert on Tv, although in my dotage, I am happy to report, I have not yet the need for them is a brand of nappy.
It shows the parents in a flap whilst the chubby faced baby gives a smile of relief as he fills them. I have assisted in this operation many times but the face of of the baby looks like an adolescent choir boy who has lent one rip and seeking approval from his fellow choristers in front of the vicar. It looks spooky to me.
