    "Can you place your things on the natural table?" - The Denny ad that claims they're the only one who produce ham using "100% natural ingredients." How do they get away with that!?

    Well the water they use to bulk out their ham is natural, and I guess the chunks of pig they bind together to form their cooked ham is natural as well. In the same way pus or snot is.

    :) That's put me right off ham sandwiches for lunch!!

    The Denny ad really annoys me, not because they make a point of using "100% natural ingredients," but because they claim to be the only producer to do so.

    On many occasions I've bought, non Denny produced, hams which were dry cured without the use of synthetic (if that defines non natural?) preservatives or enhancers :confused:

    Referendum Commission ads.

    Especially the woman at the end, a pure YES voter that's what she is :D Mammy McSmug, or should that be Von Smugberg.

    Especially the end bit that keeps saying you must have ID . In all my years voting I've never been asked once.

    This ad does my head in. "CLA 24/7 burns fat and magically reduces the size of your skeleton!! Watch as your hips shrink before your eyes!"


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,641 ✭✭✭✭Elmo


    LOW LOW ad

    With the girl in the middle of the screen trying to decide between good and bad. Very 80s, even her acting looks very 80s for some strange reason.

    "Mum always puts the lettuce on first, then the ham"
    There's an awful amount of whiny little brats in ads lately.


  • Registered Users Posts: 54 ✭✭stephen090


    Starting to majorly dislike those "48", Go Conquer adverts... The young, ‘hip’ Americans with their typical Beverley Hills "OMG" voices were totally unnecessary to portray a ‘cool product’ for young IRISH people!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,159 ✭✭✭stinkle


    The special k ad where yer one sounds like she's talking about 'weeing myself in public'. Turns out she said 'weighing'. It's caught me out twice today!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,449 ✭✭✭SuperInfinity


    The new healthcare insurance ads with the close-ups of the people who look sad at first and then turn happy and it zooms out and you see their whole family and the music starts playing.

    Makes me want to puke. I look away. There's something really not right about those ads. They're so cheap and cheesy and ridiculous.

    New Rabo Direct ads with some fool doing an awful Bill Hicks impression. :mad:

    What are you talking about? Not this surely...?



    I think it's a great ad. How is he "some fool", how is he "doing a Bill Hicks impression" and why the angry face?

    Again, not sure if this is the ad you're talking about.

    All of the ones that have linked on to the Euros particularly

    1. Curries
    2. The newspaper ads with the father and son cut out heads, paint in the tricolour and with the thumbs up.
    3. Coco Cola ad is just weird
    4. And another Newspaper ad telling us about some crap free poster.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,770 ✭✭✭shockwave


    Is bark natural or unnatural........................NATURAL!

    Every channel on the box has this ad, it does my head in.

    Shove yer ham up yer arse Dennys coz i wont be eating it!


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,542 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    The Kilmeaden cheese ad where this young wan is on the couch texting and good old mammy makes her a sandwich.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,081 ✭✭✭fricatus


    I saw a Kia ad with a soccer theme - and I say soccer, not football, because it had that really bland marketer's touch about it. It looked like it was made by Americans to appeal to the Hispanic market (where they watch "saaker"). Dire.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,628 ✭✭✭darkdubh


    The Ladbrookes betting ad with that old lad going up to people and screaming hystericly into their faces.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,234 ✭✭✭Thwip!


    That Advanced Hair Studio ad that goes on for about 5 mins


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,943 ✭✭✭✭the purple tin


    Seems like every second ad on RTE now is Euro 2012 related.
    The worst is the reporter talking about the "Scrappatoni" deal. One of the most unlikeable cnuts to ever darken the small screen.

    Lucozade ad "Yes Your Weekend" - WTF? :confused:

    Is "Yes" now a verb? How about making "No" a verb too, as in "No Your Soft Drink" ;)
