Adverts you despise

That insurance ad where this Bob Hoskins lookalike is argueing with an Oriental woman on the street and people and the background bumping into each other.

A Disgrace

Lucozade+Feeder+Skateboarding = Urge to commit mass murder

Mary Byrne didn't get a role in the George Best musical that must be dissappointing for her!

And do you have a cheeky Volvic if you manage to do it? Amazing how even the words from adverts can influence people.

Oh. My. God.
I have just seen that Oreo ad, with the sound down.
It is so gross, the child and her granny, I assume, licking the middle off the biscuit. And is the granny a maid or something?
Is it an ad made for the European market? Next thing you know they'll be advertising Hersheys chocolate, which I think tastes like sick.(Sorry, off track here).
I will force myself to watch it with sound, it might improve but I doubt it.

Very american ad alright. US chocolate is not very nice. Oreo's are a very american brand.

That black and white rice krispies ad witht the woman and daughter making shít outta rice kripsies - I hate the way the daughter says "they're popping"

THeYuR PaawPEEENG!

Why does the 7 year old girl sound like a 13 year old boy who's voice is breaking? WHY!

The Head and Shoulders ad with Jenson Button. I hate it so so much!!!

emobile:

"Meet Edward.
He's a creepy looking hipster-nerd.
Despite him only being about 30 we have decided to film his little weirdo nerd child scenes as if they took place in the early '70's for some unknown reason"

F*ck off you c*nting c*nts!

Not sure if mentioned already but that boots ad where your one thinks Vitamin C is a book or something. I just want to punch the telly when that comes on.

Also the no nonsense car insurance ads wreck my head we get were getting ripped of blah blah but ye are just as bad as the rest!

Vitamin C is that for your eyes. The Noel Fielding look alike.

The one where you have to talk the rice into coming out of the microwave. Simply tragic.

I read somewhere M&S are getting rid the celabrities in their ads, but I still reckon you'll be able to sense the smugness radiating from the TV about from about 2 miles away whenever the new adverts are on. Their whole image is just so bland and inoffensive yet so blatantly marketed towards posh, middle-class knobs... hate them!

Yes talking to appliances really makes them work better. I've heard about talking to plants, but talking to appliances!!!!

Ever get the feeling that some advertising executive saw a voice controlled microwave and didn't understand?

Given my perpetually angry and grouchy state, I have a feeling I'll be posting in this thread for quite a while.But while I'm here, I'd like to bring up another ad that gets me vomiting with rage. It's been brought up once before but I'll bring it up again.

That ****ing Lucozade ad with those Indie, barely-capable-of-being-able-to-hold-a-note bunch of twats. The ad itself has an interesting, albeit unoriginal, concept but they take what is a fantastic song, get the local garage band whose only knowledge of the guitar is power chords, and completely butcher it. It truly pisses me off that this ad exists. I hope those smug pricks who probably compare themselves to Nirvana but are more comparable to Fall Out Boy get what's coming to them. They truly deserve it.

New Safe cross code ads :mad:

Only Judge knew how to cross the road properly , not these american accented little blilly barry nut huggers who demand a code or password for me to be able to cross the bloody road :mad:

Dont hate that 123.ie ad...just curious as to whether thats a mini-me Sean Hughes..or is it his son/brother/relation.....:)

the purple tin

The online dating ad where the two americans are trying to have sex but she bangs her head and he hurts his back etc. Terrible acting and a bad attempt at slapstick.

willonzo

Any ad where gorgeous real Irish girls are waiting on the line to chat TO YOU! Especially the one with the girl in the very obvious blond wig. It makes me wonder whenever I see them, am I the intended demographic for this ad?

Also, the TK Max ad where the girl explains how it's a lifestyle choice and not just a step above the 2 euro store. Hate the dippy female vocals on the song.

Elmo

Masterchef Ireland ad, I think its time to call 999 for all three of them in that add.

The intended demographic is not looking at what you consider a very obvious blonde wig.
