and any of those stupid ads where women go into the sauna and steal the towels as an excuse to show men covering their bits and bobs looking stupid. There is currently one of these for kinder bueno with the catch phrase "bit of what you fancy" WTF?

of course when there were ads like these which portrayed women in this light there was up roar. I remember many a late late spent on the topic of how the media portrayed women in the 80's. Petty the same respect doesnt work both ways?

Love them or hate them.. Barry's tea ads will affect you for the betthar or worse..

My favourite has to be the old woman sits down with her daughter and shows her an old photo album.. The young wan is happy out flicking through the pics until SHOCK SHOCK HORROR HORROR, she spots a photo of her ma back in her hay day with a man she doesn't recognise... HER REAL FATHER :eek:
:eek:

The young wan enquires as to who he is, and the mother, with a filthy glint in her beady eyes says " Ah.... Twas somewan else!"

What a trollop. It send out wan message and wan message only - the postman is more than likely to be your real father.. No reference to tea whatsoever!

She's cute so I'll forgive it. Their other ads are undeniable kack tho to be sure.

The ad with the 2 sluts at the strip show. I think its for Galaxy Minstrels. I just want to hop the crap out of them everytime I see the ad.

New O2 free texts ad (usually the last ad before the movie in cineworld

) the guy's voice just bugs me, he sound like he should be fronting some go nowhere indie band in whelans

That the one with a lot of depressed looking youngsters? "We are O2".
I've made my feelings clear about that one already so I won't go on...

That new Snack ad is very annoying. Why does the guy relinquish his snack so easy? He deserves a snack in the face...

_Kaiser_ · 15-03-2008 10:55pm

Not so much depise, but my nomination for "stupid ad of the week" goes to...

.. the latest Fiat Grande Punto ad. Y'know the one, 3 Punto's driving around (presumably) Italy in an obvious rip of the Italian Job's Minis - there's one red one, a white one and a green one.

And at the bottom of the screen it says.... "green paint not available" :rolleyes:

KnifeWRENCH · 16-03-2008 4:38pm

Ugh I hate the Babybel ad where a woman throws cheese out the plane, and three men jump out after it.
Women are smart and men are stupid, you see. :mad::mad::mad:
Oh and I hate the Perlico ad with the creepy smiling woman....she just stares out the screen at you, it's like she's contemplating how best to eat you and your children....UGH!! (shudder)
On the flipside, I love that CokeZero ad with the eyeball and the tongues...it's just so random!!! why is the eyeball French??

Toto Wolfcastle · 16-03-2008 5:02pm

Did anyone see that DID Electrical ad a few weeks ago where this mad guy who looked like a serial killer or something jumped towards the camera and announced some deal that they had going on in store?

It was really strange and a little bit scary!

Pigman II · 16-03-2008 5:29pm

I hate the new McDonald ones where the dad is trying to get his pink princess of a growing daughter to come to the cinema with him.

They're trying to make out that she's sometimes great / sometimes a pain but at each stage every stage I just find her insufferable.

Ironically I want to punch the face of the last girl in the most of all.

Pigman II · 16-03-2008 7:35pm

This ad doesn't annoy me so much as the actor "Peter Halpin" in it does.

Never mind the torrent of ****e he's spouting but look at his face at the end. He's just plain CREEPY looking!

ifconfig · 17-03-2008 11:51am

I have to admit that new advert for the new Ford Focus with the
"orchestra" playing these engineered moulded parts gets completely
on my nerves. So contrived !

Someone else mentioned the Opel ad with the little puppet characters (C'mon).
I actually prefer that and think it's quirky compared to the pretensious
Ford orchestra cr*p.

KnifeWRENCH · 17-03-2008 10:42pm

Ok there's a really stupid ad now where a hospital patient asks her doctor "Have you cleaned your hands?"
As if your gonna say that to his/her face!!! If I was a doctor, I'd "forget" to give that bitch anaesthetic.

If I was a patient I would hope that I wouldn't have to ask that question! It's not my bloody responsibility. The cheek of that ad, asking us to make sure the doctor is doing his/her job properly!

idlesupernova · 17-03-2008 10:52pm

Can you imagine asking that to a doctor or a nurse in A&E on a Friday night, you'd be bumped down the list in the waiting room and made wait another 8 extra hours!

OK-Cancel-Apply · 18-03-2008 9:15pm

1) Bord Na Mona - "And Oh she was the Sunday in every week". Argh!!

2) Barry's Tea - (mumbling) "And don't be late..I'm nervous enough as it is". RRRrrrrRRRRRAaAAHHHH!!!

Toto Wolfcastle · 18-03-2008 9:18pm

That ad for the lighters. (Bic?) That child is clearly the spawn of the devil. His face when he sees the lighter is hilarious. Stupid ad, only going to make kids want the lighter more.

I just hate yer one with the really annoying voice '' "What's wrong with me?" or "When am I back to normal?" ''

Yeah it's like asking if the chef cooked the food properly when at a restaurant. Utterly retarded ad.

OK-Cancel-Apply · 18-03-2008 9:28pm

Yeah that 'have you cleaned your hands?' is definitely up there. Would be really funny if it had been some dude covered with blood with his guts hanging out, who suddenly sits up before emergency surgery.."Have you cleaned your hands?"

Ugh, I mean come on.... "Have you been to medical school?" lol

"Can I see your degree please?"

AlmightyCushion · 18-03-2008 9:32pm

That vhi ad with all the women saying one word of the sentence just irritates the piss out of me.

I'd be thinking that a doctor/nurse would be offended if you asked them that, so I probably wouldn't. It's like telling someone how to do their job.

There's a certain type of Irish ad out there that always involves the following:

1) Slow motion

2) A purple-ish tint

3) The latest track from whatever band is 'in' at the moment.

4) A single person standing smugly (usually with folded arms) outside some place of significance, while the camera tracks slowly around them without them saying a word.

Someone tell me they know what I'm on about! I swear these ads must have the same director.

I think that's the point. The child is growing up so fast but the dad doesnt feel old! I dont mind the ad.

Latchy · 24-03-2008 7:38pm

The adds were the volume jumps up a few decibles to grab your attention which is just about tham all , b'stads :mad:

I hate ads that really try to pull people's guilt strings like that. It's pretty much saying, "Go to McDonalds or you'll miss your child's life". yuck.

Or ads like, "If you don't buy this cereal, your child is missing out on all these nutrients. You are a bad parent!"

Also the child would be fatter having spent so much time in McDonalds

It's just 20th century capitalist propoganda /advertisement started by Americans for Americans and also believed by millions of them (and some europeans to ) .
