The Nikon ads with that really depressing song ".....I've come ho-ooo-oo-ome..."

That Bulmers ad where me man is walkin around doing things with one touch of his hand and quoting some poetic rubbish

Any ad that has Jedward,One Direction,David Beckham or Rory McIlroy in them

I actually like the new David Beckham ad. He doesn't open his mouth.

Just when you thought the Aviva rugby add was annoying, they bring out its sequel with an even more annoying, hammy acted, dodgy accented Metal head. What accent is that meant to be?

I'm probably talkin about the wrong ad here(which Ive just seen,the one where he mentions Judas Priest and Mötley Crue) but is that Mario Rosenstock?

Can't disagree with you there.

Grab All Association

That Viking river cruises sponsorship of drama on ITV. Trying to watch Murder She Wrote ffs stop taking breaks.

The Bórd Bia ad with pretty-boy Lochlainn Ó Mearáin saying "....your food is our passion".....x-(

Not sure if they count as proper ads" as such but any kind of meal "deal" (thats usually not a deal at all) doing this kind of "take, grab, choose" effort, trying to sound all casual and cool. Like "Choose a main, grab a side, pick a dip" or whatever the fuuck else it might be. :mad:

Pat the Baker song also in my head right now.

Anything that tries to jizz up water. All those kind of "pure" / "mineral" / "spring" associations. We get it free like, (for now).

The worst of these is the current Ballygowan ad. You get two awful slogans for the price of one: "Water is Brilliant" and "Drink it in"...jesus lads all we're paying for when we buy the stuff is the bottle and the marketing, you'd think we would get something better. I'm waiting for their next one: "water quenches thirst...consume it"

That aviva ad is ðesperate. State of mario rosenstock and the accent on him which sounds like the dodgy waterford accent he used to do.

Speaking of the vintage dress ad, I gather from it, that the friend has been borrowing the dress which is why it has all those mystery stains, but it looks way too long for her.

The accent is woeful.

If they run it for as long as the fooking rugby ad we'll still be bitching about it in 2-3 years time.

Irritating or inaccurate though? It's an accent I'm obviously very familiar with, and IMO, he doesn't do too bad a job of it, even though it is a little hammed up!

I do like the choice of character too, even though it makes me cringe. There are a couple of pubs around Waterford that are full of lads like that, with the Harleys parked outside. I dare say it's a little close to the bone!

Sounds fairly close to the Waterford accent, boy! Actually I think he went to school in Waterford.

According to Wikipedia, he went to Waterpark.

That mop haired chef talking about his stock cubes comes across like a big headed wanker.
He did an ad with his children and they all had mop heads too.

Its very hammy, thats what I dislike about it. It might be accurate, but its how its delivered which I don't like.

There a Lotto ad where she's lying to her boss about having womens problems so she could go on holiday but its a bit odd because surely the whole point of winning the lotto is that you could do those things without having to give a sh1t about your boss? Really repulsive actors in it again aswell, where do they get these people?

Kevin Bacon must be getting it tight for cash these days, always guaranteed to see him popping up during an ad break.

The following was fairly shi/e. but it's back for another season. His ads are fine. He's Kevin Bacon so he knows how to act.

She didnt win it, she was brought on holidays by someone who did.

That new IKEA ad is one creepy ad and where do i begin with that daft Beckham Sky Sports ad?


All the different David Beckhams dont even interact with each other so whats the fúckin point?. Talk about unimaginative. I hope he doesnt try go into acting at any stage either. Poor attempt at trying to fake interest at the football on his laptop/tablet/tv/etc

As you mention the IKEA ad I can only think of the one with all the gnomes being smashed.Apart from the line "say no to gnomes" I haven't a bull's notion what the exact message is supposed to be.

paddylonglegs

Eat a few starburst, and.....uh oh, cue dancing around like a prat in front of your bosses. International advertising at its worst

Apologies if this one has already been mentioned,but has anyone seen this on British TV:

"I am the fire that left you homeless.
I am the food shopping you cannot afford.
I am the reason you are in a wheelchair.
I am the stone stuck in your child's throat.
I am a crisis-and I don't care who you are."

I hate it-because of what tis about,and also because I find her little voice extremely irritating.

And if I was 20 years younger,that ad would have me sleeping with the light on.

Oh god that Beckham ad is really annoying!
