With all of the advertising mediums out there, TV adverts have irritated us more than online ads (which was the same in 2016). 5,127 complaints have been made about 2,272 TV ads this year alone. With online ads receiving 4,062 complaints about 3,852 ads, respectively.

And it seems men continue to complain more about ads than women. In total, men lodged 7,729 complaints compared to 5,031 by women. With women more likely to file a complaint about harm and offence, while men are more concerned about misleadingness.

With Christmas adverts soon to drop, we do wonder which ones will steal our hearts – or leaving us feeling like Scrooge.
