Benecol contains things that lowers cholesterol and other miscellaneous extremely positive claims. Grand lets just leave it there ok. No. "Because as Maeve says thats a fact." Oh right? So if Maeve says it. And Maeves a great girl is she. Done a lot of research in this area has she? Knows more than me? I dont know her, what she looks like, what she sounds like, what her politics are, even if thats her name, or if she will grow up someday to work in Centra and try to BRIGHTEN UP MY DAY...but she says its a fact does she. Ok. Ill try a carton then. :mad:

That wan drives me nuts and she has a friend - Rachel. Rachel did some research when she decided to move on from breastfeeding and 'heard' that iron is good for babies.. Seriously? She heard it? Needing iron is a rumour now? And that was her research? Give me strength!:rolleyes:

I just saw a Christmas-themed DFS ad. I love Christmas. I'm already excited about it. But it's the middle of October ffs. I had the TV on mute so I didn't hear the ad but I can only assume that it's a pile of sh1te.

That hello.ie ad with the kid drives me nuts.

I think I want to cancel my NTL subscription now.

I'd rather pay through the nose for my insurance than have that little so-and-so inflicted on me again.

The inventor of the mute button will have my eternal gratitude for helping me overcome these sort of travesties

Bank of Ireland's latest ad, featuring all those dancers. WTF?!

darkdubh

The ad for wifi with yer man dancing with the tranny.That old "accidentily walking into a gay bar" or "unwittingly getting off with a tranny" trope has been done to death down the years re Only Fools And Horses Police Academy and Trainspotting.

Elmo

Brad Pitt's Chanel No. 5's ad was going to appear here it was .... inevitable :rolleyes:

No Nonsence insurance which has from €201 and in the small print stats that it is for a 40 year old woman accountant .... <<<< Not sure if its part of the joke! Does profession matter?

Hate the McDonalds "we know the name of our farmers, aren't we great" ads.

Wow, doesn't change the fact that your food is making our nation obese!

Valentina

The eircom Phonewatch ad where Niamh the eircom girl actually invites the burglars into the house. :rolleyes:

Anyone else find the Mc Donalds ad to the Cheers Theme totally irrelevant...

And the McDonald's ad that uses the the Cheers theme tune.

Did anyone on here ever hear a McDonalds staff member greet a customer by their name? I mean, they hardly know their own names.

It's a travesty they got to use that song/idea.

Someone should sue..

That Lucozade ad with the "cool" hipster rockband going downhill on their skateboards/tricycles.

Ignoring for a second that it stinks of hipster, but note that it also stinks of unoriginality. Clearly someone involved just remembered the Miller Downhill ad and the Sony Bravia "bouncing balls" ad and thought "oh I know, ad's with stuff going downhill are good. No ones done it for a while. Let's just make a piss poor play on that minus the tricks and/or the artistry.".

The end result is that piece of shít.

I don't particularly like the ad either but I don't see how it's got anything to do with hipsters at all.

The Emobile Ad. Rob likes to ask questions blah blah blah. Why doesn't the glue stick to the inside of the tube. Puke

The gormless way he asks "What's in a spice burger" makes me want to slap him across the face with a giant battered cod.

Rob likes to ask "Why don't any intelligent people work in the irish advertising industry?"

Galwayguy35

The Dubliner cheese ad with the blonde one in it saying how she is "the much younger aunt" whilst making a bad attempt to flirt with the hippy looking fella behind the counter.

Valentina

The toothpaste ad where the "skeptical" girl says her teeth are squeaking clean.

Squeaking?

Its part of the joke. I find their ads very funny.

What about the ad with the couple in bed and the girl wants a coffee. Rather than go out and get proper coffee (or even make proper coffee in the kitchen), he uses some instant powder, sticks his head out the door to pretend he was outside, and gives her coffee in her own mug.

Anyone who thinks that stuff is 'barista style' coffee is a moron.

Wouldn't she hear the kettle boiling downstairs. This has always bugged me most about this ad.

The funny part is, while the guys featured are clearly supposed to be hipstery and trendy, the actual music they use is really weirdly dated and stale. It's like hearing a teacher namedrop a past-it band, trying to sound cool with the kids.

Stretch Armstrong

Those Irish star adverts with Dolan and Houghton. Its like they're answering a question that was asked off screen before the advert starts. 'Absolutely, we have some great players'. Seems to be on during every ad break too.

She's hot, so I don't see what the problem is.

Hot, but deaf, stupid, and unaware of what real coffee tastes like. Bad trade off.

Edit: No offense to the hearing impaired (before the political correctness nuts ambush me!)

Heroditas

The new Renault Master ad.

"For men who do REAL work with their hands..."
All very manly... grrr... I'm so hard, I wear overalls to work.

I hope it was done tongue firmly lodged in cheek because it's extremely cringeworthy.
