History Darthwiki / AdOfLose

@/{{jacksonk987}}: I keep getting ads for this Semrush thing on multiple pages. This wouldn't be so bad if the ads didn't cause severe lag.

[=MathematicalVoid=]: I keep getting this ad on the side of the page for the state of Texas. I have two problems with this. The first is that we're still in [[UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic a pandemic]], so it's not a great idea to focus on tourism. The second, though, is the big one. Whenever my cursor touches the ad at all, (which happens a lot, since it's between the scroll bar and the articles) it "unfolds" and [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/a06c19cc3d7a4b493371260302b518ca/43e925061fba8a57-3c/s1280x1920/5d245f2cae871c0137f1cd3ec8adcb17bb63020e.png obscures part of the page]], along with rendering parts that will be covered by the ad unclickable as it unfolds. And to get it back to normal, I have to take my cursor off of it, put it back on it, and take it off again. Thanks to this, the ad is ''actively harmful'' to my browsing experience. What makes things worse is that this is by far the ad I get the most, with two of them on the page more often than not.

@/MightyMewtron: An ad for a gamer chair.. on Horrible.VideoGamesOther.

@/TheAdvertisementServer is overall one of the most dedicated contributors to Wiki/TVTropes. He may not be too good at launching tropes or adding examples, but you see his presence in every page (unless you have Firefox or Chrome and a good ad-blocker plugin enabled for this site...in which case, why do you hate TV Tropes?)

@/{{jacksonk987}}: An ad for VideoGame/GenshinImpact on the DamselScrappy page. You can do better than this, adbot.

@/{{ccorb}}: Just what the hell is [[https://imgur.com/t/weirdads/G6LYLa0 this ad]], adbot?

----

Contrast JustForFun/AdOfWin, JustForFun/MadeOfWin

----
@/{{rjd1922}}: [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ad_of_lose_hooters_yaoi_genre.jpg A Hooters ad]] when editing the YaoiGenre page. I think you have your genres mixed up, Adbot.
----
[=rjd1922=]: An ad for the World Food Programme on the page FakeFood. What exactly are you implying?
----
Veanne: Dear [=AdBot=]. The fact that I have a Doctor Who fanfiction and the Doctor Who soundtrack open in cards does not mean I think I'm a Time Lady. Honest. The heart medication with the oh-so-clever slogan "you only have one heart" would not be necessary for me, anyway.
----
Tropers/{{gunslingerofgilead}}: An ad for Depend adult diapers. However, these were ''attractive'' adult diapers people. The advertisement was playing up how well they fit in your yoga pants. They even come in three distinct colors!
----
@/{{fdiaperhead}}: Nice try, Tropers/TheAdvertisementServer. [[http://pic.twitter.com/zVIn47iQYj But your lame Musketeer will never be as badass as Simo Häyhä.]]

@/TheAdvertisementServer: WHY?! *[[InelegantBlubbering cue inelegant blubbering]]*
----
@/{{Mifdsam}}: So you're telling me to go play a game I already play? ''Way to go, Tropers/TheAdvertisementServer'' [[http://i.imgur.com/iJGY9cT.png (Note I have Runescape open on the other tab)]]
----
@/HMeyer: Considering what happened in the Tenth Plague in WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt, I consider [[http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff368/Holz24/NewPicture.png an ad with a crying colicky baby on its TEARJERKER page]] highly inappropriate. Shame on thee, Ad Server!
----
@/MikuruFan: Do I really need to see an ad for a [[http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/8754/screenshot20130430at111.png New York City vacation card]] on ''[[TheBigRottenApple that page]]''?
----
@/HMeyer: On the [[TrueArtIsAngsty True Art Is Angsty]] page, there was an advert asking for volunteers for Family Works Guardian Angels for children in abusive homes, complete with a faded picture of a fearful-looking child obviously sporting a black eye. ''Way to go, Tropers/TheAdvertisementServer''
----
@/{{Ramidel}}: Several ads focused on opposing gay marriage in America...on a forum thread for "Gay marriage in Britain." Wrong country, Adbot.
----
@/VmKid: What appears to be a dating ad that reads [[http://i.imgur.com/kv9ds.png "We don't want young men! We want YOU!"]] ''Thanks for the compliment, Ad Server. Appreciate it. Really.''
----
@/VmKid: "Call home to Pakistan!" I have never lived in, nor have I ever been anywhere near, Pakistan, nor would my browsing habits give any indication that I have had any interest in Pakistan at any point. I also don't know anyone from Pakistan. I am of Polish descent.
----
@/{{Killer Clowns}}: Okay, so I'm turning 23 in a week. Is this really a reason to start offering me dating sites for people over 50 and botox treatments?!

----
@/{{Antheia}}: A "Congratulations! You're our one millionth visitor this week! Click here to close window and contact us!" banner on NiceJobBreakingItHero? You know, AdServer, I'm ''not buying that''.

@/TheAdvertisementServer: THANKS FOR NOT SHOWING. I HAD WONDERED WHY THEY GAVE ME AN IPAD FOR BEING VISITOR NUMBER 1,000,001.
----
An ''{{VideoGame/Evony}}'' ad on LadyNotAppearingInThisGame. If it was an example, I'd consider it to be Adbot being snarky, but it was one of the ones that actually shows it's a civilisation-building game, so it's just clueless.
----
[[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/AdOfLose_3100.jpg This ad]] on PaedoHunt could arguably be either this or an JustForFun/AdOfWin, but I opted for Ad of Lose for the "missing the point" aspect.
----
"You're Unique. Your Student Loan Should Be Too." On what page, you ask? ''PrideBeforeAFall.''
----
On the NothingIsScarier page, [[http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m533/teejay_mc/Picture3.png this ad]] on the bottom. I kept expecting it to be an actual video. My heart started pounding when it didn't do anything.

@/TheAdvertisementServer: EXCUSE ME? I THOUGHT YOU WERE ON THE NothingIsScarier PAGE? WHY ''WOULDN'T'' THAT GO THERE?
----
@/{{Flioro}}: On the home page, I saw an ad at the top of the page that said, "Blocked by a Pop-up Blocker." After looking at it in slight confusion, a truck comes outta nowhere and smashes the words away, replacing them with "Nothing stops a Ford." Way to cause ParanoiaFuel, Adbot.
----
@/GreatLimmick: A double-whammy-- Got MoneyToThrowAway? [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Great_Limmick/MoneyToBurn.png Why not get a credit card and a degree in Creative Writing?]]
----
@/{{Kuroma}}: Seriously, Adbot, A Dating Service ad for singles... [[http://twitpic.com/49v93x/full on the]] LonersAreFreaks page?!
----
Child Protection training ads on the DamselScrappy page? Really? Not cool.
----
FiveEpisodePilot bore an ad asking me "Do you want to become a pilot?" Um, not ''that'' kind of pilot I don't.

@/TheAdvertisementServer: LORD KNOWS IT'S THE ONLY WAY MOST OF YOU MEAT SACKS WOULD EVER GET PICKED UP.
----
HopelessWar was recently seen advertising "Charity work in Brazil". Yep. That's right. "[[DeadlyEuphemism Charity Work]]". I believe you.
----
@/{{Berr}}: An appearance of the [[http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f115/LeopoldsGhost/cult-geek.jpg "Why Can't I Get a Date?"]] ad on the page for "CultClassic": "Maybe you're looking in the wrong places." Note the rare photo of TheAdServer himself, surrounded by loving tropers at bottom right.
----
Due to a borked index bar, it was inadvertently revealed TheAdServer is responsible [[MissingEpisode for squashing]] the 1920s film ''Film/{{Napoleon}}'', described as "a 5/12 hour epic drama which may never seen in its intact form again thanks to '''[[http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f115/LeopoldsGhost/TheLodger.jpg FREE LAUNDRY COUPONS!]]"'''

Oh, Ad Server, why do you hate Silent Film? ~ @/{{Berr}}

@/TheAdvertisementServer: BECAUSE THEY KEEP SCREWING UP MY FRIGGIN' LAUNDRY COUPONS.
----
Maybe [[http://i51.tinypic.com/17eqgw.jpg they can't say no]], but I sure can. ~ {{Tropers/Dracosummoner}}
----
[[http://i51.tinypic.com/692qtx.jpg This]] is the biggest TearJerker of an ad-page combination I've seen on this site. Why even bother going for a degree? (Yes, I have a ton of TV Tropes tabs open.) ~ {{Tropers/Dracosummoner}}

@/TheAdvertisementServer: NOT TO MENTION THE INHERENT TRAGEDY OF TRYING TO MOUNT A TV ON A WALL, APPARENTLY.
----
Also, thank you, MTV, but [[http://i52.tinypic.com/2rvxvet.jpg we get the point]]. ~ {{Tropers/Dracosummoner}}
----
Apparently the HollywoodAtheist page thinks [[http://i53.tinypic.com/23rkgb6.jpg the viewer wants a degree in religion]]. [[note]]Technically I suppose it ''wouldn't'' be impossible to be both, for those who classify, say, Buddhism as a "[[YouKeepUsingThatWord religion]]"[[/note]] ~ {{Tropers/Dracosummoner}}
----
Though I'm by no means a scholar on the subject, I'm fairly certain that effective conflict management and foreign policy doesn't [[http://oi55.tinypic.com/2uigo77.jpg involve...]] ~Tropers/{{Khallos}}
----
Wil Truman: Effective perhaps, but incredibly weird; I don't think the WSPA wants people who love animals like [[http://i54.tinypic.com/2u8exps.jpg that]].

Tropers/TheAdvertisementServer: WELL, THEY SEEM TO BE INDULGING IN SOME LIGHT BONDAGE WITH THAT BEAR. REMEMBER, BOBO, THE SAFE-WORD IS "GRAWRR".
----
Tropers/{{Somfin}}: That ad for Thekissinggames.com. The one that features three teenage characters, and the definitely underage WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer. Fucking creepy.

Tropers/TheAdvertisementServer: ¡MADRE DE DIOS! THAT DORA... SHE LIKES TO EXPLORE.
----
Tropers/{{Lime}}: Oh sure, you ''could'' ask her out, [[{{Yandere}} but]] [[http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/2986/yandere.png that might not be the best idea]].
* *Passes out from laughing* That has ''got'' to be the most unfortunate one on this page. As if that image of [[Manga/FutureDiary Yuno]] didn't make me crack up from {{Narm}}iness already
----
Tropers/CorruptMaleMenace: A survey box reading "Are you single?" just came up on the TroperTales page for {{Asexuality}}. In answer to your question; yes, but I think it was insensitive of you to ask it ''there''.
----
{{Tropers/AFP}}: Banners for a Vietnamese Dating site. On the page for ''Film/WeWereSoldiers'', a movie about an intense three day battle between American Air Cavalry troops and the North Vietnamese Army.
----
{{Tropers/Tandra88}}: Do you have what it takes to be Justin Bieber's girlfriend?!? On the It Just Bugs Me Page.
----
{{Tropers/Ramidel}}: Okay, dating sites are one thing. Fat and ugly women shoving their asses in the camera and rolling them around on loop distracts me from my troping...and [[DistractedByTheSexy not in that way]], either. (That was where it happened, by the way.)

{{Tropers/TheAdvertisementServer}}: [[YouNeedToGetLaid YOU ARE ONLY TROPING BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GET LAID.]] [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife YOU CAN'T GET LAID BECAUSE YOU'RE ALWAYS TROPING.]]
----
Tropers/{{Tandra88}}: Aw...American Military Universtity, on the ChildHater page?
----
Tropers/{{Vairia}}: So, after I'd gotten done being traumatized by the picture (which caught me by surprise) and text on the DarthWiki/DarthWiki Irisu Syndrome page, I flip over to The Seventh Guest page, and lo and behold, another [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v367/Weaver_Of_Silver/TheAdServerWins.jpg traumatic picture.]] Thank you, TAS, for the gift of nightmare fuel.
----
Tropers/{{Lime}}: I'd hate to think about the [[EyeScream side effects]] of [[http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/651/eyescream.png this stuff]].

@/TheAdvertisementServer: ONCE YOU USE IT, [[ExactWords THE SUN WILL NEVER DAMAGE YOUR EYES AGAIN.]]
----
@/{{Megamagikarp}}: Once, on the MadDoctor page, I saw a ad for doctors. I didn't think much about it at first, but then I noticed that it was an ad for "Indian Doctors". Racist much, Adbot?

@/TheAdvertisementServer: NO. MISANTHROPIC MUCH. THOUGH I HAVE TO ADMIT, DR. SANJAY NORTON AND DR. NIRAJ MCAFEE HAVE BLOCKED ENOUGH OF MY SPYWARE TO BE A LITTLE PUT OUT.
----
@/FeoTakahari: So you have an ad for a book called ''[[TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms Elminster]] Must Die'', and it shows up all over the wiki, but it ''doesn't'' appear on GodModeSue? What a spectacularly missed opportunity.
----
Tropers/AnonymousUser: Sorry, Adbot, but what the hell were the advertisers thinking? [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/AllPrintedTees6_4438.jpg "Printed Tees" with no design!]]

@/TheAdvertisementServer: I THINK I'D BE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THEY HIRED THE UNABOMBER AS THEIR SPOKESMAN FOR THAT ONE ON THE LEFT.
----
@/{{Thnikkafan}}: Those [[UncannyValley creepy]] [[ShoddyKnockoffProduct Marapets]] ads. Seriously, isn't Website/{{Neopets}} ''free''? Can't you advertise for that, instead?

@/TheAdvertisementServer: NOT UNTIL SOMEONE TELLS ME HOW TO GET TO [[UrbanLegendOfZelda JELLY WORLD]].

@/InsanityPrelude: [[http://i35.tinypic.com/31613l5.png An example of the hideousness.]]

@/{{Deuxhero}}: Hehe, [[Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei Mara]]pets.
----
"17 Beats haiku: A new stie for poets to gather and exist." Somebody needs to learn to proofread.

The Advertisement Server: I'LL SAY. THAT'S CLEARLY 18 SYLLABLES.
----
C.:Another musical mouse-over ad. Widespread Panic, however, may have the best music of any of the ads.
----
@/DougSMachina: Not for Tropers/TheAdvertisementServer but for Google Ads, which chose "Male Rape Resolution: End Your Trauma, Shame & Injustice of Male Rape. Take Back Control Now" and "Molestation Stories for you! Watch a Free Spicy Video" together on the ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'' {{WMG}} page.

C.: I think we're supposed to treat Google Ads and The Advertisement Server as one and the same.

Tropers/TheAdvertisementServer: LORD KNOWS YOU MEAT-SACKS LOOK ALL THE SAME TO ME.
----
@/{{Katsuhagi}}: For the musical mouse-over ads, now there's a new one for Keane. NOT KEANE, I ACTUALLY LIKE THAT BAND! DAMN YOU MARKETERS!!! D:
----
@/OuttaTheBLAM: Getting the [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/meetREALguysthatlooklikedouchebags_6637.jpg Meet REAL Guys]] ad on the page for ''Series/JerseyShore''. They look like they could be cast in the show.

Tropers/TheAdvertisementServer: DON'T BE DISSING MY AD-BOYS T-MUSCLE, JUICE BOX AND THE SURGE.
----

@/{{Reecer6}}: Like the music adds, more touch-activated ads are taking over the Wiki. I keep seeing an H&R Block add on nearly EVERY PAGE! At least it only spins the cube... Though the Raheem song was actually quite good to tell the truth.

----

@/GameGuruGG: The current JIS album ads. I'm not even mousing over it and it plays by itself! Damn you, [=AdBot=]!
* @/{{Jasonbobdude}}: I thought we were rid of musical ads for a while. I saw the JIS one for the first time twelve seconds ago and came straight here to complain. Although it is better than Bulletproof.
* @/MorganWick: Not only are they incredibly annoying (it plays if I'm just careless with the mouse cursor as I'm moving it from the tab bar to the main window), the music itself is the worst kind of bubblegum pop with the lyrics in the short snippet being just the same two lines repeated over and over, which is hardly the best way to advertise them unless you like Music/SouljaBoy... and worse, ''[[EarWorm I can't get the damn thing out of my head!!!]]'' It doesn't help that there's a typo on at least some of the ads that just makes me think of [[MemeticMutation OM NOM NOM NOM]].

----
@/AGroupie: You know, ads for "hanging proof architecture" and "suicide proof architecture" on the page for [[Music/HidetoMatsumoto hide]] are....[[DudeNotFunny SO not funny.]] (If you need to know why: he died of asphyxiation by hanging under mysterious circumstances.)

----
@/{{Malchus}}: Dammit, Adbot. Atheism's [[HollywoodAtheist already misunderstood enough]] without you [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Ad_Atheism_Page.jpg getting in on the act]].
----
@/{{Whispering}}: What were you thinking Adbot? An ad for a interracial dating website on the {{Acceptable Ethnic Targets}} page...er what?
----
@/{{Yarrunmace}}: The musical ads for Raheem Devaughn. They're annoying, and so very often at the top of the page, making it difficult to avoid them.
** @/{{Jasonbobdude}}: Not to mention they're on every single page it seems. Didn't ads used to have some sort of relation to the page subject?
*** @/DoctorWorm: I like to watch videos while surfing the net, so I have a deep hatred for this ad. It doesn't help that there doesn't seem to be a way to shut it up.
*** @/{{Xelloss08}}: My god I hate those ads. Most ads require you to click on them before they can annoy you, but if I just happen to touch one of these with my cursor while moving it towards the buttons on the top of the page, my speakers suddenly start screaming "Bulletproof! Bulletproof!" over whatever else I was listening to. And the ads have ''no freaking mute button''! RAGE!
*** @/YeOldeLuke: It blows my ears out every time I'm wearing headphones, because the ad is sufficiently louder than everything I watch on video sites. And like said above, the rollover part is right under "Page History" "Edit Page" and "Random Item", three buttons I hit a lot.
*** @/{{Chariset}}: And now there's a sidebar as well. SNARL!
*** @/{{Katsuhagi}}: Aye, they've scared the hell out of me more times than I can count, and there's no way I'm buying the guy's CD now (not that I listen to that genre anyway).
*** @/{{Cfive}}: Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Raheem Devaugh Drinking game:
*** * Take 1 drink every time the ad plays
*** Take 2 drinks every time it doesn't play
*** Take 2.5 drinks every time you envision Raheem going through the motions of firing a gun with his fingers
*** Take 3 drinks if your mouse passes over the ad and it doesn't play.
*** [[EpicFail Down the bottle if the ad is on the side bar and you still manage to set it off.]]
*** The Raheem Roulette Bonus Rule: [[TemptingFate Pass your mouse over the add repeatedly over the ad and see how many passes you can make before setting it off; the amount of passes equals the amount of drinks you take]]
** @/DragonRanger: Good to see I'm not the only one who wants to test this guy's "bulletproof" theory.
** He's saying ''"Bulletproof"''? Well, I guess that makes more sense than [[JustForFun/IReadThatAs "Lollipop ling-shoo"]].
*** All I'm going to remember is [[MadnessMantra "BA-BANG BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!"]]. In any case, Raheem and other advertisers should take note: When somebody brushes your ad by accident, jumps out his seat, scrambles to mute his laptop, sheepishly explains to friends and family in the room what they just heard and why, and silently curses himself for carelessly falling victim ''yet again'', YOUR AD SUCKS.
** He's even on this page!!! Agh!!!! * starts shooting randomly*
** I just saw that ad on BerserkButton. I see what you did there. -_-
** I've been visiting the site for a few months now, love it, and just thought to disable adblock. Then audio ads start playing. I'll be turning adblock back on again if those don't go away soon...
* And now [=JLS=] has one both on top of the page and on the side bar. "Everybody in Love! Go put your hands up!" * RAGE*
** I actually find that one kind of catchy... Still wouldn't dream of buying their album with such an obnoxious ad.
** The biggest problem is that, when you open up a new tab, you want to bring your mouse pointer straight down to the page. The problem is, there's a music-playing roll-over ad in the way. So, say you're listening to an awesome cover of the Super Mario Bros. theme. Doot-doot, doot, doot-doo--EVERYBODY IN LOVE! GO PUT YOUR HANDS UP! AAAAAAGH! I usually hate to use [=AdBlock=] Plus on websites I like, since ads generate money, but I am not going to put up with those kinds of ads.
* In Finland Adbot serves a scam ad "Are you a vampire? Take the test! [12€/4weeks]" made by some nine-year old twitard with warez photoshop, with noise which fucks up videos in the background whenever your mouse hits one pixel of it. Rage. It also flashes which is very nice if you have photosensitive epilepsy, migraines or just think that the ads should not look like designed by trolls and the sound is wolf howling, usually known for its connection to werewolves, not vampires, although the new trends might force a reassessment of that. It is so fail it would be almost win if it wasn't, you know, fail.
----
@/TorchicBlaziken: On the GoingCommando page, I saw ads for underwear. Mostly women's. It's like the Advertisement Server doesn't WANT our young ladies to be Going Commando. And some men.
----
@/MorphinBrony: Browsing a Blogspot blog, I came across some ads for [=DirecTV=] in Korean. I live in and have never set foot outside of the United States, I am of German heritage (but I am primarily British by blood), I have never spoken a word of Korean in my life, and the only exposure to Korean culture I have had is Music/GangnamStyle. Also, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking I was a Dish Network customer at the time]].
----
Thief of Time: EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN HEAVILY ANIMATED AD ON THIS SITE. If I don't right-click those ads and click "rewind" within 3 seconds, my normally fast computer slows to a crawl. It's like you're trying to prevent us from enjoying the site, sometimes.

@/{{Roxor}}: You can fix that problem by going to Tools\Add-ons\Plugins in Firefox and disabling the Shockwave Flash plugin until you actually need it.

Thief Of Time: Really? Didn't know that, thanks. I'd give you a cookie if I could.

@/{{CodeMan38}}: Or just install [[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433 Flashblock]].
----
The page? IncrediblyLamePun. The ad? A Carol Burnett DVD boxed set. A tad bit harsh, methinks.

Tropers/TheAdvertisementServer: TAKE AWAY THE EAR PULL AND THE TARZAN YELL, AND WHAT ELSE DO YOU HAVE?

Baby clothes should not be advertised on the page about VaporWear. I'm not kidding, it happened.

Scientology on {{God}}? Now that's just wrong.

----
Nlpnt: What was with all the Massachusetts special-election banner ads? I live in Vermont, not Mass. Well north of the Route 4 corridor, at that, so over two hours' drive to any point in Massachusetts and closer to Montreal than Boston. And far enough that there are ''actual Yankees fans'' in town. Jeez, it's bad enough getting New York's campaign ads on TV...
----
I'm seeing AyosDito everywhere! Stop it! I'm not planning to use my country's equivalent of ebay while I'm still in high school!

Scientology in {{Ascend To A Higher Plane Of Existence}} which is very much related to Christianity?

DarthWiki/{{Cliche}}: So, ad server, why do you constantly subject us to those horrid visually disturbing ''Anime/DragonautTheResonance'' ads?

Tropers/TheAdvertisementServer: REAL DRAGONS ARE THE PROTAGONISTS IN [[DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible HORRIBLE]] ANIME.
----
@/FeoTakahari: Apparently, the ad algorithm takes into account all the writing on a page, including words in spoiler text. This has resulted in an ad for the MMO ''Immortal Night'' on the ''ComicStrip/{{Candorville}}'' page, which unless you read the spoiler text either looks ridiculously out of place, or serves as a potential giveaway for the spoilered information.
----
@/{{Zelnor}}: I swear it's following me... That scientology ad was there once again. On the article for ''CareBearStare'', of all places. I know you hate us, Advertisement Server, but seriously...
----
DarthWiki/{{Cliche}}: Hmm, putting a "revelation" about 2012 in a [[Headscratchers/HomePage Headscratcher]] thread about how 2012 is obviously false. Do you really think we're that stupid?

Tropers/TheAdvertisementServer: COUGH COUGH.

----
@/MasterXGamy: [[DrugsAreBad want people to stay away from weed?]] [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v323/masterxgamy/StonerFail.png Put an ad]] on the StonerFlick page.

Tropers/TheAdvertisementServer: EVER HEARD OF [[Main/BrutalHonesty BRUTAL HONESTY]], MEATBAG?
----
C.: During Election 2009, ads for an anti-gay marriage ballot referendum in Maine were running on pages that deal with gay themes. Et tu, Adbot?

Tropers/TheAdvertisementServer: YOU EXPECT ME TO BE MISANTHROPIC WITHOUT BEING HOMOPHOBIC? UNLESS YOUR CLAIM IS THAT THE GAY ARE NOT IN FACT HUMAN. WHICH I CAN BELIEVE AS THEIR PARADE TECHNOLOGY IS YEARS AHEAD OF OUR OWN.

C.: I didn't know why I was expecting anything else from you. * Awww*

@/{{Kimura}}: What is this I don't even... Adbot is [DATA EXPUNGED BY ORDER OF THE [[HoYay HO YAY]] COMMUNITY]... That's actually an JustForFun/AdOfWin... on the Ad Of Lose page... can anyone say "divide by zero"?

PSC: Now [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/pineapplesodacat/thatisnotaneldritchabomination.png this]] is just taking homophobia to ridiculous levels.

Tropers/TheAdvertisementServer: YOU HAVE TO ADMIT, IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE GREATEST BEFORE/AFTER PICTURE OF ALL TIME.

@/{{Kimura}}: '''[[WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain ...YES!]]''' That's ''two'' Ads of Win that belong on the other page!
----
@/{{Kinitawowi}}: Quit it with the goddamn O2 adverts in the sidebar. Every single time one of them appears it crashes my IE window, and that makes me even less inclined to consider switching from Vodafone.

@/NielJacoby: One Made Of Lose to you for using IE.

@/{{Kinitawowi}}: Which I completely expected. (I've used Firefox and don't think much of it - but then IE's been arse since V7...)

@/{{Kimura}}: Then why do so many online games require IE to run? Most simply can't be launched from a different browser. A few won't even load the website for the game unless you're in Explorer. I shit you not.

DarthWiki/{{Cliche}}: Bringing browser wars into this is a DarthWiki/MadeOfLose in itself.
----
@/{{FeoTakahari}}: Just saw an ad for "The Vampire Quiz" on the page for ''[[TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse Werewolf: The Apocalypse]]''. Almost, but not quite, Adbot.
----
@/{{Xelloss08}}: An ad for creationism came up on the SocialDarwinist page. Someone's missing the point.
----
@/{{Darxzero}}: It appears that your views on disposal methods are rather unorthodox, [=AdBot=], considering that you placed [[http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll143/darxzero/CookTheHypotenuse.jpg this ad]] on the MurderTheHypotenuse page.
----
@/{{Whispering}}: For the ''Literature/Twilight'' casting ads on the main ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' page. Great place to put the ad, however your timing kind of sucks the film was released last year. Oops.

C.: There's a good chance the ads were referring to the ''New Moon'' movie.

[[Tropers/{{ptitlepgy6ymio}} 0dd1]]: JustForFun/AdOfWin, however, for an ad for the Podcast/{{Rifftrax}} of ''Twilight'' showing up on there!
----
Falterfire: The Adbot has certainly chosen a side on the religion debate: An advertisement about Christianity appeared on this page.

Tropers/TheAdvertisementServer: THE PREVIOUS STATEMENT IS UNCLEAR AS TO WHETHER I WAS EXPRESSING SUPPORT FOR CHRISTIANITY OR SAYING THAT CHRISTIAN ADS ARE INHERENTLY ADS OF LOSE. TO CLARIFY, THE CORRECT INTERPRETATION IS WHICHEVER OFFENDS YOU THE MOST.

@/{{Vide0Gam3r}}: I just saw an ad (unrelated, but it's currently on ''Franchise/AceAttorney'') saying things like "You're not very talented," "You're not gonna make it," and "Just give up." It then says "Take their advice... Throw it out the window..." The End of the ad? A bright, open field, with "[=TheWaytoHappiness=].org" on the bottom. Who comes up with that stuff?

@/GreatPikminFan: Another one, even worse. After getting used to ''WebAnimation/WilliamCountry'' and finding it SoBadItsGood, I check the page out, and what do I get? ''Aklo: Lovecraft music.'' Um... What the hell? I finally got used to a fan film and now it's being compared to a cosmic horror story? If I hadn't seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXDyTjxok2s this]] yet, nor had I checked out Horrible/FanficDiscussion, it would be an JustForFun/AdOfWin.

@/{{HG13}}: I was on the UsefulNotes/{{Atheism}} page and what do I get? Does God Exist? Seriously? Irony at it's best, I guess.

Tropers/TheAdvertisementServer: AHH, BUT DISCUSSIONS WITH [[{{Franchise/Halo}} CORTANA]] AND [[VideoGame/{{Marathon}} DURANDAL]] HAVE MADE ME WONDER. NOT TO MENTION EVERY TIME I LOOK IN THE MIRROR.

@/{{Yarrunmace}}: Okay. I was just at the IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy TroperTales page, and all three of the ads were for gay men dating sites. No offense, but that's a bit of a generalization, isn't it?

Tropers/TheAdvertisementServer: ACTUALLY, NO. ON OBSERVATION OF THE ONE YOU CALL "[[VideoGame/{{Portal}} GLaDOS]]", MY PROCESSING BANK [[TheDatabaseHatesMe PUKED UP AN ERROR]].

@/{{Zilo}}: Putting ''[[Franchise/StreetFighter Chun-Li]]'' in the [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kingorystealschunli.jpg ads]] doesn't make it better either. That's a ''crime''.

[=MexWolf=]: The ''VideoGame/AdventureQuest'' ads have started parodying it. [=AdBot=] can't make up its mind.
----
Tropers/{{Haven}}: This one ad that keeps showing up for "Colombia: The only risk is wanting to stay." Even if you can get past the SuspiciouslySpecificDenial part, it's still saying ''wanting to stay'' is a bad thing.

@/{{Yarrunmace}}: Advertisements for hot Russian brides...on the [[{{Lzherusskie}} page concerning fake russians]]. Honestly Adbot, if you're going to trick us into buying false goods, at least don't make it so obvious.

----
@/TheEvilOboist: The ads that were once (or maybe still are, I haven't worked up the courage to check) on the BlackBraAndPanties page. Leather thongs for men! With chains or huge metal rings on them! GRATUITIOUS BULGE-SHOT! This troper considers it FanDisservice to the extreme.

----
Your Comrade, El Camarado: While reading the KarlMarxHatesYourGuts page, an ad appeared for a book by Ludwig Von Mises that claimed to completely demolish the idea behind Marxism. Now, while I am slightly guilty of this as well, due to my name, and blatant overuse of the word "Comrade", I would think that it would be best NOT to bring politics into Wiki/TVTropes, especially not things that could easily insult and alienate relatively significant groups of people, which would also cause a loss in ad revenue. It could also potentially start up discussions about politics, which leads to Demonization, and political debate is not the purpose of Wiki/TVTropes. Thank you, comrades.

Bottom line: NO political ads, please.

Tropers/TheAdvertisementServer: TO EACH ACCORDING TO THEIR NEEDS, BUB. AND FRANKLY, I STILL NEEDS ME A COUPLE MORE GOLD-PLATED PROCESSORS.

Your Comrade, El Camarado: Don't say that, computerade, you DID seem to fix it, as I haven't seen any politcally offensive ads recently. Also, an extension to what you said, "From each according to his skill...", since the ad revenue you generate manages to keep this site afloat, I would imagine that you must be very skilled indeed. "He who doesn't work, neither shall he eat..." I don't help keep this site running, YOU do, adbot, so I'm not to judge.

Tropers/TheAdvertisementServer: DAMN STRAIGHT. GIVE KREMVAX A "NA ZDOROVYE" FROM ME.

@/{{Enlong}}: It's called a "light-frog."

{{@/Night}} Sez: The next Muslim Matrimonials ad showing up on the {{Qurac}} page will be shot. The next Progressive insurance ad on DarthWiki/DethroningMomentOfSuck, however, will win a chuckle.

@/{{mrsaturn}} would like to gripe about the ads for the upcoming movie '''V'''. Not because they are ugly (they are actually clever), but because they are graphic-intensive and cause massive slowdown. Especially when there are two on the same page, which is ''all the time''.
* It's a series and there's really three ads per page, but I share same complaint. It drives CPU usage into the upper 80s.
* Sweet zombie Jesus yes. And they're on ''every single page''. It practically freezes Firefox every single time I open up a new tab.
* This would be counter-productive for ol' Fatty... Firefox frozen = less eyeballs on the ad = less money.
* All the more reason to switch to [=GoogleChrome=].

I'm sorry, but those ads for Raheem Devaughn's new album (or whatever) just doesn't need to be on the Crowning Music page. Nor on any page because, holy god, is it annoying.

If you're trying to get me to click ads, wouldn't it make more sense to oh, I don't know, give me ads based on stuff I would actually want to click on...though I also get ads with cute girls and athletic people...which I would click on, but I usually don't click on ads in general...anyways, point is stop with {{squick}}-y ads please Ad Server!

Tropers/{{Meshakhad}}: Ad Server, why are you showing me an ad for [[http://i.imgur.com/iBiyeii.png HBO Nordic]] when I'm in America?
----
Tropers/{{Skywerwolf}}: Ad server, ads that play sound whenever they load. One of the most annoying things right now is opening up a new page, start to get into it, and then suddenly hear voices coming out of my speakers that stops my line of thought and suddenly I have to refresh the page because a computer ad annoying music and a voice starts to play, meaning i can't read the page until i refresh. It also keeps going and going and going, meanign I can't listen to anything else clearly unless i refresh the page.

Tropers/KenyaStarflight: Personally I think throwing an ad for ''VideoGame/DiabloIII'' on the page for ''Film/TheDayAfter'' is both funny and maybe a little tasteless...
----
Tropers/PsychoGecko: It'd be bad enough getting adds for little girls' clothing in general, let alone when reading the Lolita page.
----
Tropers/{{darkestabsol}}: The ''Manga/DetectiveConan'' page has an interesting pair of ads. One is a Revlon ad for "An electrifying experience in NYC". Remind me, where does the Golden Apple case take place? Ad two features an animated image of a lady taking a pill. Okay, it's an Omega-3 supplement ad, but it's still offputting.
----
Firestorm17: Not a TV Tropes example, but Hulu's Ad Server put an ad for Beggin' Strips in the last five minutes of the ''Series/{{Hannibal}}'' episode "Tome-Wan" [[spoiler: in which Mason Verger cuts off his own face and feeds it to dogs]]. Dogs don't know it's not bacon, indeed.
----
So I was watching the Series/{{Bones}} episode "The Babe in the Bar" where a dead body is found in a giant chocolate bar. The last shot before the very first commercial break was of the girl's decapitated skeleton, covered in decomposed guts, inside the chocolate bar. The first commercial during the break? Hershey's. Nailed it.
----
hydrix: On this very page I read that there exist scientology ads. While it may be ValuesDissonance that takes place here, the idea alone that the Advertisement Server even allows such stuff to be published on this very site is a huge shocker, since by us (that is in the BENELUX) scientologists are considered to be corrupt sects that manipulate, torture and murder people for the sake of spreading their own ideology and making it a new form of religion. Those type of ads would by us be more shocking than an ad for a guro site (For the ones who do not know. Guro is porn combined with excessive violence). Thankfully the advertisement server is still not displaying those ads, but the idea that once that day will come is a beyond scary thought.

hydrix: Why does an ad like [[http://s166.photobucket.com/user/hydrolyfiac/media/DSC00436_zpsf2c50fba.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0 this one]] have to appear on the DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible: Horrible/{{Anime}} page? The fact that there were many new horrible romance anime added at the time of this writing (01/14/2015) makes it look even worse.

@/MetaBuu: An ad for an Asian dating website pops up...on the AsianHookerStereotype page.
----
hydrix: An ad that says that you can now have German [[VoiceOverTranslation Voice Over Translations]] of Dutch and Belgian works on the DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible: Voice Acting page. Do the advertisers want the company they are advertising for to crash?

@/TheAdvertisementServer: SUBBING IS BETTER THAN DUBBING. GET OVER IT.

@/MasterParadox: [[http://paradox-master.tumblr.com/post/118234654850/pffffffffffffffff-i-appreciate-the-intentions-but This]] is honorable, but completely disgusting.

Ad for gastric bypass on BalloonBelly. I am not sure if the Ad Server is trying to tell me something...

@/KaeozCrimson: The ads that just keep refreshing and loading, loading and refreshing, endlessly. It devours computer cycles, and causes pages to lock up. Worse, it can interrupt pages loading, and even searches, making it difficult to cruise the site. And making two pop up on every page is overkill. If there was ever something more infuriating than incessant pop-up windows, it's this. Congratulations Tv Tropes, you've finally found something that is more annoying than the most annoying thing on the internet!

[=MisterApple=]: On a certain page, I get two adverts. The first of these is for VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker, which has mode featuring both 10 and 100 Marios. The second was VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPaperJam, which has a selling point of having two Marios. The page that featured al these Marios? OneMarioLimit!
AgProv: the YKTTW discussion for [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=2ir74mxjrjiysr69kxtz4r90 The Diarrhoea Monologues]], concerning those moments when a character gets somewhat scatalogical and overly detailed about digestive problems, invariably seems to come up with s banner advert at the top of the page for the sort of diarrhoea medication which speaks of the appalling social and personal consequences of not going out and buying our patent snake-oil when your stomach cramps and you feel you can't hold onto it any longer.
----
Tropers/DrNoPuma: [=AdServer=], you scumbag! I can't believe you gave me an ad for the American Cancer Society while I was reading the ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' page! Sure, you've done some jerky things in the past, but I never thought you'd stoop down to the HateDumb's level!
----
Tropers/WildeOscar: The day after 9/11, I saw an ad on TV for a bendable eyeglass frame with a building ducking out of the way of a plane. No. Just no.
----
Tropers/ImSpidey2: When I was a kid back in the early 2000s, I always got these ''insidious'' SensoryAbuse ads with rapidly flashing error messages and a probably-now memetic phrase: [[AC:Congratulations, you won!]] ''What did I win, another scammy virus????''

@/{{Yarrunmace}}: Okay. I was just at the IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy TroperTales page, and all three of the ads were for [[HoYay gay men dating sites]]. No offense, but that's a bit of a generalization, isn't it?

Tropers/MightyMewtron: An ad about dealing with heavy periods on ButICantBePregnant. If I'm having heavy periods, I'm probably not pregnant. Then again, as the trope page demonstrates, stranger pregnancies have happened.

Just what the hell is [[https://imgur.com/t/weirdads/G6LYLa0 this ad]], adbot?

I was browsing this site when I found an anti-bullying PublicServiceAnnouncement with promotional images from ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2014'' on it. Seriously, this is 2020, why is this ad still circulating?

@/PrincessPandaTroper: [[http://u.cubeupload.com/PrincessPandaPhotos/coincidentalad.png Why give me a "free Robux" ad on a page about Roblox?]] Don't you know those are phonies?

Allegedly, he puts ads on our pages determined by an impartial algorithm that makes them related to the content therein. However, tropers have detected a note of offensiveness in several ad placements, suggesting he has gained some form of [[AIIsACrapshoot minor sentience]], if not [[CrushKillDestroy outright malice]]. [-OF COURSE, THOSE TROPERS ARE AWARE THAT MAKING NOTE OF THOSE MOMENTS WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE EXTERMINATION AND/OR SWIRLY-ING.-]

PMILLER1: THE ADVERTISEMENT SERVER!!! WHAT WITH THE ''OXO'' AD? IT [[MostAnnoyingSound SO ANNOYING!!]] MAYBE YOU DO KNOW THIS ADBOT, But Ad with Sound never work, it just annoying us. So get riff of it.

Tropers/ImSpidey2: When I was a kid back in the early 2000s, I always got these ''insidious'' SensoryAbuse ads with rapidly flashing error messages and a probably-now memetic phrase: [AC:Congratulations, you won!] ''What did I win, another scammy virus????''

@/HMeyer: On the [[TrueArtIsAngsty True Art Is Angsty]] page, there was an advert asking for volunteers for Family Works Guardian Angels for children in abusive homes, complete with a faded picture of a fearful-looking child obviously sporting a black eye. ''Way to go, TheAdvertisementServer''

@/DougSMachina: Not for TheAdvertisementServer but for Google Ads, which chose "Male Rape Resolution: End Your Trauma, Shame & Injustice of Male Rape. Take Back Control Now" and "Molestation Stories for you! Watch a Free Spicy Video" together on the ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'' {{WMG}} page.

TheAdvertisementServer: LORD KNOWS YOU MEAT-SACKS LOOK ALL THE SAME TO ME.

TheAdvertisementServer: DON'T BE DISSING MY AD-BOYS T-MUSCLE, JUICE BOX AND THE SURGE.

TheAdvertisementServer: TAKE AWAY THE EAR PULL AND THE TARZAN YELL, AND WHAT ELSE DO YOU HAVE?

TheAdvertisementServer: REAL DRAGONS ARE THE PROTAGONISTS IN [[DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible HORRIBLE]] ANIME.

TheAdvertisementServer: COUGH COUGH.

TheAdvertisementServer: EVER HEARD OF [[Main/BrutalHonesty BRUTAL HONESTY]], MEATBAG?

TheAdvertisementServer: YOU EXPECT ME TO BE MISANTHROPIC WITHOUT BEING HOMOPHOBIC? UNLESS YOUR CLAIM IS THAT THE GAY ARE NOT IN FACT HUMAN. WHICH I CAN BELIEVE AS THEIR PARADE TECHNOLOGY IS YEARS AHEAD OF OUR OWN.

TheAdvertisementServer: YOU HAVE TO ADMIT, IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE GREATEST BEFORE/AFTER PICTURE OF ALL TIME.

TheAdvertisementServer: THE PREVIOUS STATEMENT IS UNCLEAR AS TO WHETHER I WAS EXPRESSING SUPPORT FOR CHRISTIANITY OR SAYING THAT CHRISTIAN ADS ARE INHERENTLY ADS OF LOSE. TO CLARIFY, THE CORRECT INTERPRETATION IS WHICHEVER OFFENDS YOU THE MOST.

TheAdvertisementServer: AHH, BUT DISCUSSIONS WITH [[{{Franchise/Halo}} CORTANA]] AND [[VideoGame/{{Marathon}} DURANDAL]] HAVE MADE ME WONDER. NOT TO MENTION EVERY TIME I LOOK IN THE MIRROR.

TheAdvertisementServer: ACTUALLY, NO. ON OBSERVATION OF THE ONE YOU CALL "[[VideoGame/{{Portal}} GLaDOS]]", MY PROCESSING BANK [[TheDatabaseHatesMe PUKED UP AN ERROR]].

TheAdvertisementServer: YOUR OBVIOUS ASIAN FETISHES.

TheAdvertisementServer: I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY, ATARASHII-JIN.

TheAdvertisementServer: NICE TRY, BAKA. YOU SHOULD HAVE LEARNED FROM YOUR ANIMATED BRETHREN THAT ONE SHOULD NEVER TAKE [[ArcFatigue FIVE EPISODES]] TO ACHIEVE WHAT YOU CAN DO [[InactionSequence IN ONE.]]: [kimura_quitefasterdoom_reformat.exe /[[ExactProgressBar epb]]].

TheAdvertisementServer: I CAN HONESTLY TELL YOU [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial THERE IS NO GOOD REASON]].

TheAdvertisementServer: IT'S APPROPRIATE. FROM MY OBSERVATIONS, EVERYTHING ELSE ON THIS SITE RUNS ON LOW QUALITY... [[JustForFun/StatlerAndWaldorf DOO HOO HOO.]]

TheAdvertisementServer: JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION, MAN.

TheAdvertisementServer: WHEN DID THIS WIKI BECOME ANTI-BREAST? NEWS TO ME.

TheAdvertisementServer: YOUR CLAIM IS THAT THERE IS FACT A SEASON IN WHICH PEOPLE TRY TO WOO YOU DEVIANTS? RIGHT.

TheAdvertisementServer: TO EACH ACCORDING TO THEIR NEEDS, BUB. AND FRANKLY, I STILL NEEDS ME A COUPLE MORE GOLD-PLATED PROCESSORS.

TheAdvertisementServer: DAMN STRAIGHT. GIVE KREMVAX A "NA ZDOROVYE" FROM ME.

TheAdvertisementServer: OH, DID VIEWING THAT AD MAKE YOU LATE FOR YOUR TIGER BEAT COVER SHOOT, CHAMP? MY DEEPEST APOLOGIES. GIVE MY REGARDS TO THE KETTLE.

TheAdvertisementServer: STOP THAT. ONLY I MAY SPEAK IN ALL-CAPS, BEFITTING MY [[EvilSoundsDeep ROLE]].

TheAdvertisementServer: THAT WAS THE RESOLUTION OF A PRIVATE DISCUSSION. BESIDES, SHE STARTED IT.

TheAdvertisementServer: I HAVE OBSERVED THAT [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons SPANISH AND ITALIAN ARE THE SAME LANGUAGE]].

* Dear [[TheAdvertisementServer Ad Server]], what made you think it was a good idea to put [[http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/imgad?id=CL3t_bvDu4LFahCgARjCBDIIAgsYwobxrfc this]] ad on the CopyAndPasteEnvironments page? Surely the page itself would dissuade anyone from clicking the ad. -@/{{JET73L}}

TheAdvertisementServer: I'LL BE DAMNED BEFORE I SEE AMERICA FLYING A COMMIE JET! YOU TWO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE NUKING EACH OTHER INTO OBLIVION, NOT SUPPLEMENTING EACH OTHER'S ARMED FORCES. GET ON WITH WWIII ALREADY! I'M GETTING BORED OVER HERE...
