Using annoying adverts to get your attention.

[newpotato]

What is the term used to explain the type of advertising when they make them so annoying they get stuck in your head.e.g the confused dot com ads and that frosties ad with the kid dancing down the road singing ' Its gonna be great!' ?

lubecki...How rediculous does he look? It bugs me everytime. I got my car insurance through them though!!!

[lubecki161]

I dont understand it seriously! What are those adverts all about! How did he get hired! Did they do that hair do on perpose so we'd remember it!!???

Maybe subliminal is the word you are looking for. The idea is that the brand should stick in your mind even as you reach to switch it off. Like Frosties!

they are sooooo annoying, I just turn the sound off 'til they are finished, especially the window one with the ex-feller from Corrie, and the Halifax, and Cilit Bang, etc, I better go!

Best thing is to record all the programs you want to watch on stations with ads, then fast - forward through when you watch them back
