Window Between Seeing Ad On TV & Beginning To Hate It Becoming Shorter

THE WINDOW between barely noticing a TV advertisement and then developing such an incomprehensibly intense hatred for it that you would throw your TV out the window to avoid it has dramatically shortened, according to a recent study.

Analysing ads currently broadcasting during ad breaks, researchers at IAAA (Institute of Awful, Annoying Adverts) has concluded that people’s patience is wearing thin in record time.

“One test subject actually threw themselves out of the window instead of their TV,” explained researcher Kevin Lange, “he’d broken his legs but was still conscious so he could hear the faint sound of some insurance ad he hated. It was torture stacked upon torture”.

Complaints ranging from ‘state of yer man’, ‘the voice on yer one’, ‘that fecking song is like nails on a chalkboard’, ‘this makes no fucking sense’ and simply ‘fuck sake not this ad again’ have all led to TV viewers hitting record levels of impatience.

“It used to take 10 or 15 airings of an ad before someone grew tired of it, I don’t know if it’s marketing folk putting even more cocaine in their coffee but whatever they’re doing adverts now arrive on screen instantly unbearable on first viewing almost 100% of the time,” added Lange.

So irritating are certain ads it is rumoured that the CIA are using them as part of their torture methods when illegally detaining innocent people at undisclosed black sites around the world.

For their own safety people have been advised not to utter ‘I actually don’t mind that ad’ when someone expresses displeasure at certain ads appearing on TV.

“The hatred actually becomes most serious issue when a company dusts off an old ad you thought was gone forever and begin airing it again. This actually caused several test subjects’ heads to explode,” concluded Lange, who recommend muting ad breaks, flicking between channels, switching to streaming services entirely or petrol bombing creative agencies as possible solutions.
