What was your most annoying ads you ever had?
One of mine was either lots of surveys kinda ads. I also got redirected from PMC to my AppStore (which is on iPhone #not advertising) which is pretty annoying be ause it was nearly every 20 seconds.
What was your encounter of an annoying ad?

Note: please don't like advertise more ads in this post as it makes it even MORE annoying


No offence Paril or Cyprezz (I hate iPhone's auto recorrect when doing names 0_0)

Worst Ad in the history of Ads, the stupid new one on Skype, the one above your Chat Windows, that when it drops down, will stop you from typing, making you have to re-click in the Chat Box. Worst thing Microsoft ever did with Skype.

I get all the gaming ads
Me: Uhhhhhh..

I get ads about bladder control
Me: o.O I don't have bladder issues

I kept getting this ad in German that advertised espressos. It was an animated ad where a statue in a museum talked to another statue about espresso in German, in a weird voice. It then fell off its pedestal and died. All I heard of what it said was "ist macht espresso" I google translated what it was saying and it kind of made grammatical sense: ist macht espresso = is making espresso. The ad said more than that, but it was in German so I didn't catch most of it. This ad showed every time I tried to watch a particular show.
Me: WHAT THE HECK GO AWAY (After seeing it 20 times)

Does this win first prize for weirdest. Then again, dating Russian cougars is pretty weird.

Another annoying ad that I only have seen when I'm on my iPad on YouTube I ALWAYS see an ad before every single video. It's always the same ad too! It's about some governor of Pennsylvania telling you about "The All Boy Club" as she calls it. I have no idea what she's talking about. Also, IT'S A WHOLE MINUTE LONG. SERIOUSLY WHY IS THIS NEEDED??

I always use adblocker. I do not care about ads, i do not want ads, and i will never turn of my ad blocker to help anyone. If someone need money for their websites, ask for donations instead of adding advertising shit all over the website.

#1: I start seeing this ad after I visit PMC almost everyday. It is the "SEE HOW PEOPLE PRAISE THIS FOOD AS THE 'HOLY GRAIN!" with some small pink and slimy balls. And then I started seeing it on YouTube and my website.


IKR its just a random fruit

#2: I used to download torrents at piratebay but I don't visit that anymore because everytime I visit it I brace myself for the ad "DATE HOT,SINGLE LADIES IN THAILAND!" with a video showing the girls removing their cloths and a bunch of other gross stuff.


Jeez i really hated that, i had to get adblock, but before that, it was horrible

#11: This ad keeps telling me that I should install iLivid so I would get better experience with my computer! Once again I was all like: Yeah you would make it worse.

I receive like hundreds of ads everyday because I always use my computer from 3 PM until 2 AM in the morning. So I will tell you the most common ads that I got in the internet.

#1: I start seeing this ad after I visit PMC almost everyday. It is the "SEE HOW PEOPLE PRAISE THIS FOOD AS THE 'HOLY GRAIN!" with some small pink and slimy balls. And then I started seeing it on YouTube and my website.

#2: I used to download torrents at piratebay but I don't visit that anymore because everytime I visit it I brace myself for the ad "DATE HOT,SINGLE LADIES IN THAILAND!" with a video showing the girls removing their cloths and a bunch of other gross stuff.

#3: Everytime I visit in Facebook there is always a section in the middle of my news feed. It's the "suggested games" ad. It shows a bunch of meaningless games with pictures of some girl showing her butts or (I don't want to mention the word but I think you guys know it).

#4: Everytime I click on some blogs on PMC, it will direct me in a shopping website for women. Excuse me, I'm a man and I don't do online shopping for women!

#5: League of Angels.

#6: After I click download on mediafire it will create another tab that is called "Vube" that plays some guy or girl singing a song.

#7: Some ads with a naked girl with a yellow line and it keep saying "CUT IT IN ORDER TO WIN AN IPHONE!"

#8: That Trevor game add. It also appears on PMC asking me to throw the axe. I did it once and I got directed in a website but I press exit before the website shows up.

#9: Not sure if this is common or what but I got ads bugging me with a jet moving left and right and I control the cannon. It says "TEST YOUR SPEED!" I didn't bought it.

#10: This is probably the most common ad of all. It is the "Your PC has some errors. Click here to fix it now!" I was all like "Yeah right if I do that you will NOT FIX MY COMPUTER! YOU WILL MAKE IT TEN TIMES WORSE!" There is also a bunch of ads like this.

#11: This ad keeps telling me that I should install iLivid so I would get better experience with my computer! Once again I was all like: Yeah you would make it worse.

#12: There is one add with just a simple white background but there are 2 buttons. And that is the "Play" and "Download button".

Yeah I receive this kind of ads everyday.

Well, fortunately I don't get them any more!

I use adblock. If you think the Internet will no longer be free because of this you are being ridiculous. If you want to protest adblock feel free to do it. Anyways, I got adblock because I was sick and tired of all the inappropriate ads.

It just astounds me what some of the advertisements i see contain. On PMC which is a site that many children get on, i have seen some of the most inappropriate advertisements that I am sure is luring kids onto websites they shouldn't be on. Also I do not want to hear people saying "well advertisements just reflect what sites you usually visit" because that is obviously a lie haha.

I use adblock, and use the "allow" function on decent website that I frequent. I leave it on for social media and youtube.
Worst add ever: On a different TF2 trading website, I was just chilling, cruising through sellers, had 10ish tabs open, and then all of a sudden, there were at least 5 audio ads playing, somebody was cutting onions, and another one was for a car, and after I got all of those closed, I got hit with a huge popup that didn't have a close option. No matter where I had my mouse on the screen, if I clicked, it would link me to some site for one of those "I am waiting, my Liege" mini rpg games. Had to use task manager to close it. I was very upset.

On PMC:

I've never seen something so true.

As for the AdBlocker debate, I'll personally never use it. Yes, ads are annoying, but it's how sites pay for hosting. Without my sites ads, I couldn't pay for my server (Revenue is about $120 a month which covers all my costs, as well as a personal monthly debt I have to repay, perfectly).

Using it on huge sites like YouTube I see nothing wrong with. But, those sites use the advanced Google cookie system, so most of the time it's stuff I'm interested in anyway. I actually used a service I saw advertised there for about 8 months.
