Adverts you despise

That Ulster Bank lad on the radio every 10 minutes apologizing & telling us all what a great job they are doing sorting everyone out .

RTÉ's ad for Criminal Minds, its not a bad ad it just a pity the show is so bad causing the ad to look bad.

The actors look of shock and horror as one of the characters are not dead, such bad acting.

At the end the returning character says "You have mourned the loss of one friend, I mourned the lose of six".

I was sure she was saying sex!

The newest 123.ie ad, where the girl at the start has either had a bad lip job done or just pouts like that. She drives me insane!

they like Morgan Freemans Voice, but not his skin colour or what he charges for a genuine voiceover.

That new Vanish ad with the teacher in the classroom, asking the children what colour things are and they answer in this really sing-songy mumble. I hate it. HATE IT!

It's awful alright, especially as the basic premise was done, far better, about 10 years ago for a toothpaste ad

I can't believe TV channels let that 123 ad run, I instantly change the channel.

Ads for companies sponsoring the olympics telling the public (mainly in uk) how great their company is and the great support their giving the olympics and teams and the wonderful things they are offering the public are getting a bit uch now the equivilant for xmas ads being aired in october

Thwip!

DEAR GOD BEDS ETC IS NOW USING STAR TREK

I have no particular axe to grind against junkfood however any advert where the likes of McDonalds and Coca Cola sponsor the Olympics as ''official snackfoods'' of the Olympic teams etc I find extremely irritating. It would actually be unbelieveable to a rational alien intelligence which had escaped being corrupted by the local mindset which takes this for granted that unhealthy junkfood could be the official snack of something where the very best in human health and performance is being showcased. Impressionable kids watching these sports will not mentally register that those foods and any goal to be like their heroes must be extremely separate indeed. Real life is stranger than fictional satire.

That Vodafone ad where everyone's dressed as doubles skipping & dancing around the place all cheerful looking!

Me also, then I realized "oh six". The actors are fine usually, but they do look like random people picked up off the street in that clip. A pretty good show at times, you just have to completely suspend belief and live in an alternate reality for a while, an occasional guilty pleasure. Knowing RTE's timing, this is probably the exact incident people will point to as the "jumping the shark" moment... :rolleyes:

I assume to prove that only a select few ads in the 80s were any good.

That current coors ad where yer man is signalling to his buddys in the bar and the dancers around him start copying him is a complete ripoff of an ad for something else that was out about five or six years ago.Can't remember what it was for but there was a black guy in a nightclub signalling with his hands that he was driving home and the people on the dancefloor copy him.Like the coors ad it was ****e.

The Bulmers Ad about apps and apples...aaaagggghhhh! Really hate it! Patronising s@&€?!

That simpleton Hector O'Huchaeaieienneain and his ad for his breakfast show.

The ad is crap and I've no idea what it's supposed to mean.

KoolKid

Come to think of it... Anything with Hector in it.:eek:

I'm Jim Ryan and I'm the head of branch banking at Ulster Bank......

We've 'helped' 100,000 customers so far.

We've made a promise that none of our customers will be permanently left out of pocket ..... and we intend to keep it.


Big swing. You mean ye actually intend to keep your promise... wow,
The next time I hear this crap on the radio I'm going to drive in the front window of the nearest Ulster Bank.

donegal_man

The new Persil ad where the bunch of repulsive stage school brats play 'we will rock you' in the garage. For shame Queen, for shame :-(

I'm the same regarding Hector.Tho my feelings pale in comparison when compared to that guy from Kerry who does presenting work on TG4. Maybe I'm just a gaelgoir racist.

I can't think of his name (Daithi something perhaps?) but he's a real 80's throwback (despite I'd say he's prob only about 35-40?). He thinks he's a real comedian and a charmer but truth be told he's nothing of the sort. Kind of a poor mans David Hasselhoff in reality.

Can't be bothered even looking up his name but I'd say you all know the guy.
