    They drive me mad too. The worst one is: "It's about magnetic field's....positive and negative". Makes me want to go to the local shops and puncture all the lucozade bottles.

    Finally someone agrees with me, I hate the two gits that do it so much.

    i liked the ones last year..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,658 ✭✭✭Patricide


    The most annoying thing is that one of them is bound to be right in the end, DEath to those adds


  • Registered Users Posts: 286 ✭✭Fridge


    It's so unbelievable irritating. I mean who's clever idea was it to have two highly irritating and quite mingin people say a line and then just stare smugly into the camera for another 5 seconds. Do they seriously think that's gonna make people want lucozade?

    I thought last years were pretty crap, but at least they were just trying to be funny.
    What really gets my goat about the Lucozade ads, is not just how stupid they are, but the fact that they're comparing us to these plebs and their 'theories'. It's like they're holding up those ads and saying "That's you that is". It's irritating and insulting.

    lol I agree,at least if they had gotten good looking people the ads might not be so annoying. I mean come on,that chick with the big head and massive eyes...:eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 210 ✭✭thecutter


    them ads are working but..... think about it, a whole thread about the 'lucozade ad'
    It has us talking about their product!
    I personally dont like them ads but!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    That's got to be a rule of Boards.ie right there.

    Whenever someone starts a thread complaining about an annoying advert someone will always come along and say 'Oh, but you're talking about it so the advert must be working'

    This would be true if it was a new product that none of us were familiar with, being annoying is a good way of getting the products name into peoples heads and it was what Radion washing up powder did. But we already know all about Lucozade... all they're doing is creating antagonism towards the product.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 497 ✭✭FranchisePlayer


    What about the one when the man repeats the numbers like an asshole and stares blankly at the screen.Some of the ideas are just so damn dumb.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,367 ✭✭✭Agamemnon


    Let's all boycott Lucozade until they get better-looking chicks to do the ads.

    Club Energise is a better sports drink/hangover cure anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,676 ✭✭✭Chong


    I hate lucozade imo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,589 ✭✭✭✭Necronomicon


    I have to hit the mute button every time it comes to a break. Far more annoying than last year's.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,977 ✭✭✭johnny_adidas


    ive actually gotten a stronger index finger since they started those ads cos now i can flick to another channel before the ugly dopes open their mouths. maybe lucozade are trying to help us improve out remote control skills!:rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60 ✭✭Greener


    Your one with the big stupid lips annoys the hell outta me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,784 ✭✭✭im...LOST


    imaybe lucozade are trying to help us improve out remote control skills!:rolleyes:
    Apparently that takes alot of ENERGY and Lucozade will give it to you:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,190 ✭✭✭Haven't a Clue


    They were grand to start off, their theories were reasonably credible. Then they went mad saying it was a reality tv show and whoever got voted off was killed.

    They're a pain in the arse now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 53 ✭✭Silage


    I would agree with ya there. I didn't think they were that bad the first few times. Something to think about. But now...what a load of me bollocks! I'm getting a shotgun soon and i know exactly the first two things i'd use it on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,190 ✭✭✭Haven't a Clue

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,101 ✭✭✭NUTZZ


    Those ads annoy me so much, why couldn't they have given us one of their decent Lucozade ads like this or something similar.


  • Registered Users Posts: 121 ✭✭imalwayshappy


    I think wha the marketing department did was go around and ask everyone what they thought lost was about and got dumb and dumber to say it at the breaks. I agree though it wrecks my head.........................get a REAL SPONSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111:)
