Evil Within: Current most hated commercial

Aerozord · 06-11-2014, 05:10 PM

Now I never minded ads playing before videos for the most part. I treat them the same way as I do commercials. Worst case I tab out and check messages and stuff while it plays. Really long ones I might grab a drink. However this is one that not only didn't make me want to buy the product, but made me hope if fails to discourage this crap.

Basically the ad is a "screamer", thats one strike against it right there because as far as I am concerned such a cheap jump scare is the lowest form of horror. Though its far worse because its a commercial. Its the exact same 'scare' the exact same way, every single time. Even if it did scare me it wouldn't anymore. So now for a good chunk of my videos I have to deal with a random scream before I watch it and since its a scream there isn't much I can do about it. If I mute the ad it will mute the video so I have to turn it off and on.

Geez this is irritating marketing. Who thought this was a good idea?
