The entire Renault "afford to live again" campaign.

while humorous at first it really doesn't make a lick of sense.

"oh no I left the immersion on - is ok mary" and "turn on the heating, etc"

so you can't afford to leave the immersion on or the heating but you can afford €25k for a new car? ? WTF?

All in the name of saving a few hundred a year on tax/ins/fuel

piss off

Also: Renaults are crap.

The current hello.ie ad does my head in.

Or more specifically the little **** on it does my head in.

I'd love to take an aluminium baseball bat to his face. And ribs, legs, arms, back, head, throat, etc

Thargor

There's this pretentious Heineken ad where some guy goes to a rich party and dances around doing tricks with various **** while a waiter tries to give him a bottle of Heineken and it has one of the most teeth-grindingly awful songs of all time in it where some blonde one screeches 'Sing it out loud blah blah Sally, sing it out loud away with me'. I want to friggin scream when I hear it. By far the worst ad on tv atm.

Another one, the trivago ad. That man must haunt the dreams of many, with his creepy, unnerving smile.

I hate that one :mad:

There's another one, could be Heineken in fact, set in a log cabin on a snowy mountain where some scrawny cardigan wearing bellend has to dance his way to the ****ing bar to order his pint. Every time I see it I'm hoping against hope we just might hear the distant rumblings of a deadly avalanche approaching their twattish little party.

That's the asteroids galaxy tour, i think they do a few Heineken ads, and they're real Scandinavian bubblegum catchy kitsch pop. Always grits on me after 2nd time hearing it.

I think that's Coors or bud light.


The advert doing my head in right now is the one with the people saying things like "I want to have what she's having." and "I want to hear what he's hearing." etc.. The whole advert doesn't do my head in so much as the girl at the end who sounds like a really loud Kermit, - The baby laughs, and she says "I want to see what she see's" in kermit voice.. Aaaggghhh!!

Mute mute mute!

Just saw an ad for moist toilet tissue things (?) with Dawn Porter having a party for everyone who's used them. Eh, ohhhkay... Then at the end she asks "have you ever gotten a round of applause for wiping your bum?"

Dawn's career must be really going down the crapper (no pun intended) if she is reduced to this.

The ladbrokes ad with the shouting Italian. Grossly offensive.

That's the way he always is though. It's not Ladbrokes being stereotypical, Crudeli is just mental when it comes to football.

Pay close attention at 0:20 and 3:35.

He says his uncle was a great person but he thinks he's a muppet because he chose to spend his own money how he wanted to rather than leave it to his grasping little sh1t of a nephew.

The new Sky plus ads.Woulden't mind them so much but they have this music which completley dosen't sit with the ad content at all,sounds like it was added by mistake.

Emobile ads. Horrible. Meet the head of questioning things, who's actually the biggest corporate yes-man in the world.

I generally detest most ads on telly, but one that makes me want to smash my tv is the rte guide ad. "I hit the floor and don't care how I dance". Christ almighty I hope you do hit the floor, with your head!!

Another vote for this one. I hate this "ain't mediocrity great" vibe we've been reveling in for about 10 years now, encapsulated by the singing in this ad.

You can even tell they're probably trained actors who probably have decent singing voices but are slumming it just for the ad.

There's a horribly dubbed advert for "Fibre 1" cereal with a supermarket boss and a girl with the dirtiest, lankest hair imaginable. The last line she says is so weird compared to what her mouth is saying.


Edit: It's this one - but this isn't dubbed

Anyone who's seen the Hidden Hearing ad enough times will know almost by heart what's said in it: "5,000 hearing aids to give away free", "If I can't see to read I wear my glasses", "Better hearing from Hidden Hearing", et cetera.

Well, for whatever reason, the company has just set up a new division called, imaginatively, Digital Hearing - and brought out an ad that uses almost the exact same script, the substitution of "digital" for "hidden" being the only noticeable difference.

IMHO, that's just plain lazy - and I doubt it would please those whose first thought is that Digital Hearing is a brand-new company. They might say, "Why the hell are they saying almost the exact same things as Hidden Hearing?" or "If they say that they've been helping people improve their hearing for over 30 years, then how come I've only heard of them now?"

And why the need for this new division in the first place, anyway?

(All this is said without any disrespect intended towards those who are hard of hearing, BTW.)

Very poorly animated mouse knocks a Moby lookalike's phone into a fish tank The whole thing comes across like a bad trip.

Cannot stand the new guinness black and white "made of more" ad. Horrible accent and I just can't understand what the heck they're trying to get at.

the purple tin

That Maggi mexican chicken ad is so cheesy and forced.
Weird right wing christian feel to it for some reason.

Ironman76

That f**king Ad on ITV "If Youre Abbey and you know it . . ." (about some shopping centre up north). My most despised advert of all time.

There's another ad on Telly at the moment where a mother explains to her child, "This is the baaaayybee-siddur!" in an (I want to say 'phoney' but it's getting harder and harder to tell) American accent and points to a nervously smiling and dumpy looking woman. What is that ad and why the need for the accent anyway?
