Adverts you despise

Thargor

It must be a pretty big home that produces enough Dolmio to fill multiple shelves in every single shop in the Western World, funny how homemade bolognaise is one of the tastiest dishes you can make and yet "homemade" Dolmio tastes like 2 packs of McDonalds ketchup mixed with a pint of mince and water.

Not a tv ad but that bus stop ad for Electric Ireland or something with this fella proposing to his other half on a bus makes me want to smash something everytime I see it thanks to the really stupid open mouthed expression on yer wans face.

no ad has ever made me want to cringe in embarrassment as much as this one, I have never seen anything so crass in my life.
"power comes in many forms" aaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggghhhhhhhh!!!

Silly dolmio puppet family with their nat-oo-ral in-gray-dients.

Two lines in those ads puzzle me. Papa says ' you can't beat home made' and the whole family explodes with laughter.

Papa says ' si mama is a real nat-oo-ral' cue gales of laughter from the family.

Are these jokes why do the family laugh Is mama putting some special homegrown nat-oo-ral in-gray-dients of her own into the bolognese?

Those ads are brilliant.

The insurance ad with pat short :mad:

Diabhal Beag

That brutal song in the sony ad will no doubt inspire a mass-murder.

Miss Lockhart

That new one for some Karcher window cleaning gadget. There's a horrible squaky sound off the windows during it. It's like nails on a blackboard.

I'm going to do a pooh at Paul's

Denture ads with overly-smiling middle aged people eating apples and sitting on park benches

Here comes the science :mad:

I worked with Italians there for a while, and they really, really hate those ads, with some of them going so far as to label them racist. Think what it would be like to have an ad for Kerrygold in the UK with puppet priests and dancing leprechauns saying "bejasus" and "begorrah", and you'll have an idea of how they feel about those ads.

I'm amazed that this one hasn't been mentioned:

Padraig Harrington in a shameful attempt to endorse what looks like a stupid product:

Stupid Radio Nova ads on the side of Dublin Bus

gugleguy

Maybe it's just me but I'll say it:
There 's more than one poster on this thread who is posting on the thread to deride posters that post their own despised adverts, because these adverts are actually one of their favorite adverts. The same posters must prefer the ad breaks to the actual programs on that TV channel, or whatever. How imaginative.

Tzetze

Switch on the news while sitting down to eat some dinner. Ad break comes on.

There's a woman emptying her manky foot-scrapings out of a ped-egg.
Starving kids being trotted out to guilt-trip us into sending 'just €5 a month'.
Diarrhoea remedies.
Ladies sanitary products.

Any commercial that talks about school/work is annoying.

The cheerios campaign centre ad with the little Billy Barry snotbag kids. 'even more chacladee'.

The new Pepsi one with Beyoncé is ... well, I don't know that I despise it, just that she has me wondering "WTF?" I think it's supposed to hark back to her past, but she "dances" like she has ants in her pants, just throwing bits of her body at the camera. No class whatsoever. I must be getting old. :mad:

It kind of annoys me how it seems like no big "star" has any shame doing crap adverts any more

Beyonce in Pepsi (as an aside, looking peculiarly - white)
Pierce Brosnan in sky
Thandi Newton in every Olay product going
Banderas in that stupid Wrigleys ad
Kevin Bacon in EE

Also, Two Door Cinema club may as well be renamed ****ty Background Music Club - their songs are in at least 7 frickin ads at the minute!

Catkins407

The Hillarys blinds ad makes me physically sick. Your ones mouth is so fecking huge . It's like a car crash , I don't want to look at her mouth but can't not look at it. Seriously it's ****e.

It's funny how the people in ads who are portrayed as being really hip, cool and trendy look like total gonk's. Do these ad writers never pull their heads out of their arses for two minutes and look around themselves?

Despising that SONOS Hifi system Advert, keeps getting me excited that Wayne's world is on but it never is.

sunbabe08

any advert on youtube, the current lot are getting on my nerves

Catkins407

Have to mention the Renault learn to live again ad. The chicken in the oven couple do my head in and the chicken that's currently in the oven is probably more attractive than either of them. I have to say though that Morgans general air of bewilderment and delight when he is asked to turn on the heating gets to me though. His sisters hat is also fairly epic in a "homemade crochet trying to sell my homemade ****e on a Facebook page kind of way". Lol

the purple tin

That annoying, plummy voiced woman who talks to the camera about her holiday and then tries to cover it up when her husband walks in on her is annoying. I hope he has her commited for being a mentaller when they get back home.

Temaz

The mother in the new UPC ad is a right smug bitch.

Miss Lockhart

That ad on E4 for some new mentalist/magician guy - Ben Earl I think. Every time I hear it I think he says:

"Ever since I saw a book on sliced pans in my local library...." instead of "a book on sleight of hand".

Every time I hear it I'm like WTF?! Gets me every time.
