Adverts On The World Rugby Cup

[bobbie22]

What do folks think of the tv ads on the World Rugby Cup? Getting on my wick and ruining the competition for me.

It's so that people watching in pubs and bars can get to the bar for a top up.

You mean they're P breaks not Ad. breaks?

[bobbie22]

Good answers. Not to my question though. They do spoil the continuity of the game IMO

Ads are always irritating, but that is what you get with a commercial channel.
Although some of the rugby-related ones have been quite amusing
They don't really spoil the continuity of the game, though, to be fair.
It will be a dark day when that happens

There was recently a poster on the wall of my office (commercial TV company):

"Think about Downton Abbey without the Adverts...

...There's no need to. It wouldn't exist"


The same goes for Rugby World Cup (since they decided to sell the rights), X-Factor, Grand Designs, I'm A Celebrity, etc ...

If your question is that the RWC adverts are particularly annoying, then maybe you're not the target demographic?

As an England fan, I found the adverts the best bit of their matches :-)
