... Hmm, don't really know what to make of this one.

That mobile one that redirected you to candy crush on the appstore. Infuriating.
Those are the kind of ones that make me want to throw up adblock. Yeah, either you had a shitty ad slip through or you can go without the ad money from me viewing.
 
I keep getting this ad that's trying to ruin my wallet

or Ford Ecoboost ads :/

Did just get a Wolfenstein banner, so that's cool I guess.

I hate this thing. It makes annoying squeaky noises in the background. And those candle goblins are very ugly. I dont even know if this is a strange Dungen Keeper Like Game or a SM fetish site. And I dont wanna know.

this shit has been haunting me for months, oh please make it stop
 
All I get are ads from shit I bought or recently looked at. Ordered a pair of hiking shoes last week and now I'm gettin hit with rei ads on here. Kinda creepy.
 
You can believe me or not but I have NEVER searched or watched porn on my phone and I still get, these half sex "did science gone to far" ads with half naked ladies and super annoying because can really look at gaf normally on my break at work like that.

This picture made my toe hurt... eww.

[quote="Stumpokapow, post: 113406067"]Since 2004, GAF mods have logged something like 25,000 bans. The number of people banned for bragging cavalierly about how they've blocked the ads here is somewhere between high single and low double digits. That's less than one tenth of one percent of bans.

Ban bait is when your thread title is: Anita Sarkeesian: Sony sucks [proven by VG Chartz], piracy is a force for good, but what sucks more is treatment of women of colour in gaming., and the body of your thread starts "Here's a bunch of GIFs of people hit by trains and spoilers for Game of Thrones:"[/QUOTE]

Yeah I always figured that was overblown. People just remember the fistful incident which was hilarious and stands out.
 
The best one is still sword to the boobs. Play now, my lord.

I sometimes get the ones with a breathing woman and her boobs move in a weird manner.

Aren't google ads based on your search history?

I swear I'm not searching for thai or even asian girls in general.

Yes, ad networks build profiles based on searches from your IP address/browser cookies. Sometimes it just serves random ads.
 
Gyft. 90+% of mobile ads I get on the entire internet are Gyft ads. Often all the ads on a page are Gyft. My brother sent me a gift card on there one time. One time.
 
I saw this thread title and realized I've never really noticed the ads on this site. Then I go ahead and open up a thread and this Nordstrom ad enlarges this big red dot over half the screen. It's like, "Oh... there we go."
 
Just about every time I enter a thread I get a related add. The only one that's following me around right now is for "car spoilers."

Luckily I've never had to witness the toe nail fungus one yet.

I think the only one that made me scratch my head so far is after I entered that one thread the other day about some subway fight between some guys and Trans women I got an add for an "LGBT Credit Card."
 
I see the fake Halo 4 ad pretty much every time I check the thread

It just bothers me how much of a copy/paste job it is, have no idea how they can use that material without getting in trouble somehow
 
The ads I get in Brazil are incredibly tame and boring. Except for a shampoo ad that almost crashed my system. HTML5 is indeed the new Flash, except it cannot be easily disabled.

Ahh. I thought it was policy to ban those who were blocking ads.
 
On my home computers I never really see ones that annoy me, but on my phone I keep seeing this terrible ad for snow blowers that drives me insane. The picture of the snowblower is also really bad quality.
 
Usually I get the vanilla ads for cars or credit cards.

Though I do remember the Evony ads across runescape, and some dating site that used a girl in a white bikini with a cowboy hat on a beach as a vertical banner.

I don't even know how I remember that in such detail...cause even with the raging sex drive of a 13 year old I was still pretty addicted to runescape.

You can't even begin to imagine how much I HATE this woman. The commercials are bad enough, but then her face pops up on 50% of my ad banners.
