Actually I don't think TV ads, in the U.K. at least, are annoying.

TV adverts are often entertaining, point me to products I didn't know about and they give you chance to go to the toilet or get a drink.

Also, very often they are relevant e.g. in Motor racing or shows about Houses.

I've yet to see and advert on Facebook that's useful or even just entertaining.
