Adverts you despise

Don't know where to post this.

But, I've just seen the Guiness ad.

On Sky.

At the end of Barca's milling of Mourinho's Mullikers.

Heaven!

Christmas is here!!

That current eircom ad really is the definition of cringe, that "brett from Albuquerque" and that french grind thing, jesus, if hitting those stereotypes as well as that was the intention, fair play..

Either way, that ad is catastrophic..

Not as bad as the Eircom rat ads but you'd almost need subtitles to understand the mangled Deefer accents.

What is going on with Eircom? Their ads are just horrific, the new Christmas one with all those horrible cheesy closeups of people who are clearly not related trying to act like a family after Brett from Albuquerque and bunking off to a festival, how are they so bad? Im guessing someones niece or nephew got the nod for that job at Eircom in the great Irish tradition.

What the fûck has interpretive dance got to do with paying a tv licence? I wanna shoot that fûckface! :mad:

Also all those stupid fragrance ads. The smug pricks in those ads put me off buying them.

"Do you have the code?" Er no now pìss off!! :mad:

Stupid ads set in a video game shop where the guy just hands out games for free to his friends

Hope the next one in the series shows his boss having him arrested for theft.

Those tv license ads are the pits.Pathetic attempt at surreal humour, the one with the rabbit as well.The intended effect is,"wtf" was all that about?" but it just falls flat.

1980s esb ads thats been pulled from the archives

byhookorbycrook · 18-12-2011 10:05pm

Vhi ad, "and your husband and your tiny babies", does she think her husband is totally incapable???No wonder VHI subs are costing me an arm and a leg, it seems to be on tv every 2 mins.

downwithpeace · 18-12-2011 10:29pm

That one with some guy sitting at a press conference and a man asks if some women should repeat the question really annoys me, no idea what it's for or why it's on.

Those ads clearly done in non English then dubbed, badly, to English really annoy me.

Karen23 · 18-12-2011 11:38pm

Without a doubt the worst ad at the moment is the Thomas Gear ad , that man is creepy

Yeah, he looks like the friendly guy at the start of the film who turns out to be the serial killer, and who tries to butcher the heroine after slicing up her boyfriend with his kitchen knife. He seems to enjoy scoring the meat just that little bit too much!

Yer wan who sources the ham is some little royde though!

Lyons talk in the tea ad.

The one with the smart @rse husband making digs at his wife for daring to spend her money on her hair.

If my husband went on like that after drinking lyons tea there'd be no more lyons coming into the house.

Btw her hair is not blonde either so I don't know what he's going on about

+1. Those sexist ads putting me off Lyons for life. The radio ad has him giving out about his wifes shoe collection.Ugh they drive me mad

zac8 · 22-12-2011 5:04pm

The gay Bord na Mona advert - the person who came up with this concept just had to be taking the p**s :pac:

The one with the two "weightlifters" chatting in their office is the best one.

"Put on more weights, There aaarrrre no more".

He was a bit too obsessed with the chicken he was grasping so much so that he wouldn't even make eye contact with the Supervalue worker he was talking to

I like the gay BNM ad- I hate boots ads that make men out to be idiots and women multi tasking saviours

I buy all my own medication - generic brand from my local chemist and I'm not a blundering idiot

longhalloween · 31-12-2011 4:50am

The Bord na Mona gay ad. Seriously, whoever said... 'yeah, thats a good idea, that's a fair representation of our company' should be shot.

Mikosyko · 31-12-2011 12:25pm

One time coca cola ads at xmas were nice with the holidays are coming jingle...this year they have that talentless fùckwit natasha bedingfield screeching throughout! :mad:

This ad is like nails on a chalk board to me.

The guy's accent is so put on like hes trying to suppress his real one, i.e. common as muck 'innit bruv' accent.

cringe worthy
