Oh, ohhhhhhh this one.

Advertisements that can't help but be annoying.

I have nothing against advertisements, but come on, I just have to rant out how and what advertisements I can't help but find annoying.

There are only two things I associate with advertisements:

One, that they only delay the current show I'm obsessed with and therefore I strongly dislike them,

And two, they are betting a whole lot of money on a twenty-second ad that they can only HOPE will actually catch viewers' attention.

But there are advertisements that. . .

One, ACTUALLY have a good point and moral lesson, and therefore make sense and get stuck in the minds of people,

And two, is worth the time and payment.

Personally, I think that the most annoying advertisements are the following:

Number One: Ads that promote politicians
Okay, so, first of all, basically this ad is for election preparations and stuff but honestly guys,
What the ad shows won't really happen in reality.
Say your politician is shown helping people like donating food, clothes, building shelters, etc. But seriously, I think that your typical citizens who aren't politically-infatuated are going to choose their bet for politicians based on their respective ads. This means that the better and more legit-looking your ad is, the higher chance viewers will vote for you. Honestly, I find this disturbing because a) It disgusts me that what's happening in the ad won't even come true once they get elected, and b) What the ad shows is just basically what they want us to see, as citizens, and not what they will actually do.

Number Two: Hair product ads
I will be completely frank, but it sort of pisses me off that in hair product ads, they actually make the model's hair look good and straight and long and shiny. So, like, I go buying their products at the supermarket with this newfound hope in me that my hair will actually look good and straight and long and shiny, and until the whole bottle is used up, nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing happens. Of course, in order to promote their products, they have to make the model's hair look really REALLY good and straight and long and shiny, and that is TOTALLY understandable, but honestly, that 'new hope' kind of actually does get stuck in the minds of viewers, but actually end up disappointing, and therefore becomes annoying. Over the years though, I have grown to appreciate my hair, and only then did realization dawn on me that no matter how good and straight and long and shiny a model's hair will look in a hair product ad, does NOT guarantee such in real life.

Number Three: Ads in the website
Okay, so, I'm playing a game, a.k.a. Flappy Bird, and I am beating my brother's high score, I am totally rocking the game, and this ad about Home Design and Flower Vases comes out of nowhere and my bird falls miserably to the ground and it takes everything in me not to grab my skull and rip all my hair off.
I mean, I cannot even begin to describe how much of a pain in the ass it is to have this kind of thing! Especially those ads that you have to wait, like, five seconds to skip. Oh, and especially those ads whose exit button is just so small you have to press it thrice to remove it. Seriously. But I have to admit, there are times wherein the ad that they actually show is good, and has this catchy music that you can't help but replay it or look it up in Google or something.

So, yeah, here are the three kinds of ads that I can't help but find annoying.
