Adverts you despise

The badly dubbed nicorette one, where they're "glad that's over" and go for a fag break. The guy stays at his desk, has some nicorette and a band appears
Nicorette the product that causes hallucinations

The blonde slut from Sex and the City pretending she's ever played a game in her life, trying to get your average Sex and the City fan to buy a DS:

Pathetic.

I just saw the latest Mace ad with that clown Brendan O'Connor. How the fúck is that supposed to get you to shop there?

Go to Mace and frighten the crap out of your children.

ALL of those cost plus sofa and beds etc. ads, especially the one with the p*xy country singing dog!

And the CGI in those ads is terrible, too.

Wouldn't surprise me if they, and those Imagine ads with that bald guy on a guitar, are made by the same agency... :rolleyes:

If I see that bint with the plastic face, utilising all the realism of a unicorn playing the drums say one more time ; 'I know! Our comprehensive car insurance starts at .......'

I may end up on the news in some sort of hostage stand off.

Why are they idiots? I have a Nintendo DS, they are awesome machines. Do you still live in the 90s when most people still thought handheld videogames were just for kids?

It is true that generally males like videogames more than females. But I think it's a stretch to say she has never played a videogame in her life.

Hi, I'm kassie depaiva and I'm here to tell YOU....every 15 mins during the day on TV3/3E. Headwreck!!!!!!!!!!! I believe it's useless too, well according to reviews online (power of advertising eh, I actually checked ) My baby's completely obsessed with it though, stops everything to watch it.

I'm actually turning away every times she comes on now.

On a different note, I LOVE the DoneDeal ads!!

Gonna get killed for this but the concern ads drive me mental and they always seem to come on when you're sitting down to eat something, and you'd say something but the ****ers probaly have more money than us at this stage !!!!

Naah, I hate all that guilt-trip sh1te too. I'm all for giving to famine relief, but there comes a time when certain charities (not talking about Concern here in fairness) just have to justify their existence.

The worst offenders are those bloody ads on in the daytime on UK cable channels like UK Living or Hallmark or whatever - you know the ones that go on for 10 minutes about how just two pounds could get little Sanjeev an operation that would allow him to smile like a normal child.

I don't care if people see me as a heartless white male - I just reach for the remote...

The DoneDeal ad is a frickin disgrace - if it was a man selling his wife and the buyer asked ' Is she a goer' there would be a fuppin outrage. Advertisers really think we love the idea of the savvy super Mum and the hapless dope of a husband. Sh*te.

I hate adverts for dry skin on the feet and they show horrible feet like scholl i think it is its disgusting!

Have to agree, but I like the ad all the same.

I mean idiots as in "yer one off sex and the city haz a DS so i will get one" idiots.

telekon

Surely mentioned already but this monstrosity...

I actually don't mind the female version of the ad but this creepy dad just weirds me out. Look at me, the alpha male, the top dog, the king of the jungle etc. :rolleyes:

"Come hither woman and children, come into the bosom of thy king and master. I will feed ye and provide ye shelter, oh, and include thyselves in any household insurance applications..."

As well as that, my wife goes mental every time it comes on. Ugh...:(

In addition, the dad actor is far too anxious to kiss the actor son before the gorgeous wife actress. Weird...

Those 3 ads with the Irish team and Trappatoni













What the **** is Trap saying?

GastroBoy

Whilst not strictly an advert, when you hit a wrong key on UPC and it jumps to their own information channel.
Theyve had the same sod doing it for years, think he was on Dragons Den a few years back too:mad:

Just saw that for the first time a while ago.The computer graphics are straight out of Dire Straits Money for nothing video.

The Laya Healthcare ad would emit a cheese like smell if it were a tangible object

the purple tin

48 had to pull some of their soft porn/ads because of complaints :pac:

Elmo

Special K ad where the first woman says something like "I am embarrassed about weighing myself in public" yet it comes across as "I am embarrassed about weeing myself in public", I always think the ad is going to be about blather problems.

I hate that add, espec the one where he's running through dublin, Someone should've tripped him up. Now that wouldve been a good ad.

Hate the 'Wella, hair sponsors' on pretty much every show on Living tv.

Muckit

'Thought you couldn't have gas because of where you live.....?'
