Adverts you despise

youtube!

Jesus Christ I can't explain how much this ad and indeed the whole series of "Metal Mossy" ads make me cringe!
Typical of Mario Rosenstock though,his characters are either really quite funny or really terrible,his new series attests to that. Awful.

The new ad for No 7 finding out what shade of foundation you need. The end where it clearly says, "Tah Dah" on the screen but the voiceover says "Tah Dum" :mad:

The actress has the skin tone of Tom Hanks, towards the end of "Philadelphia".

We get it.... Its about foundation.
The woman doesnt have to look ill.

The referendum ad is a hum-dinger.

Perfectly covering all demographics.... Or so they think.

We have:
- Thick accented farmer.
- Woman in hard hat on building site (yes.. Ive never seen that before either )
- Attractive woman on library computer.. (everyone knows library computers are just for the homeless to look at porn).
- mixed race kid.
- old woman who croaks with the voice of death.... (rewind and listen again.... Its scary )
- post man giving us the skinny.


Great ad.

That lotto ad with the old lady has been on every five minutes tonight.

That advert on youtube with the cheesy American guy in the lab coat 'Sorry for being so direct, but you've been obese for a long time'. Since when is insulting your target market a good way of winning customers 'Your fat and you know it and you've been that way for ages you fat bast*rd!' really weird approach and so unnecessary!

The tv3 one for live subtitling.

Yer wan from Ireland am looks a bit unhappy or smug or something. Lucy Kennedy is holding a MASSIVE smile for about 6 seconds and then you have one standing on the green. She's alright.

But then Mark Cagney comes in and looks like a plonker standing there with white noise.

I don't know how much of this is him though, and how much of it is Aviva - they are an infamously 'safe' company in every aspect (having worked in insurance) and you only have to look to the ads they have done in the UK with *Paul Whitehouse for further proof of this - this is the same guy that Johnny Depp figures is the best actor and funniest man in the world. This would have been a decent sketch and great ad... literally 18-20 years ago.

*Paul Whitehouse is the skinny guy from The Fast Show who did the incomprehensible jolly old posh guy, the Irish 'Ted' from Ralph & Ted, one half of 'Suit You Sir', etc.

...and some Rowley while I have the excuse ...

WeHaveToGoBack

Also dislike the RTE Subtitling advert. For an ad telling us to use subtitles, it does so using the most illegible fonts ever.

I need to watch it again on that front, but when your one looks around making the exaggerated turn signal, she looks around and eyeballs the driver, then grins...and the whole thing looks like something from a fcuking horror movie. Not sure what was in their heads when they filmed it, she creeps me out. Are you expected to make creepy eye contact with the driver behind you when turning right?

(Also on a practical level I agree, it's stupid to have it in the middle of nowhere, she signals with no traffic around...why not just cycle on? The big show of signalling doesn't make sense: at a Dublin traffic light, while you're looking around freaking out the driver and looking like a psycho, the light would be gone green and they'd be getting ready to beep the horn and fcuk you out of it)

I mentioned this ad earlier in the thread. Its as if she is looking at him and inviting him to take part in some dogging up the road and he backs out at the last second when he thinks that his wife set it up as a trap.

HA HA! I was the one who posted that backstory for the bold ad that means people can't view that ad the same way anymore, but seriously that is hilarious, I already found that ad ridiculous/scary, but now I'm forever going to picture her directing him to the dogging field. Now I think of it, the nod he gives is kind of a knowing one, like he just needed confirmation of where to ho. It's the only way the creepy smile she gives makes sense! Great post!

The Santander ads with the sports celebs endorsing and are now taking part in the ads, as opposed to sitting on a red couch looking at the camera. Combined, they have the personality of a wet plank.

The new Ulster Bank ad for mobile banking on the train is getting on my nerves. Clearly they didn't use crappy Irish Rail seeing as there's nobody standing, scumbags drinking, a mobile signal due to the substandard wifi and people with any money left in their accounts after paying massive fares.

You forgot Anto & Jacintaaaa engaged in a stand up screaming match..... The graphic hovering over them saying "no account found".

The ticket man just looks at the tickets and doesn't validate them the way they do on Irish Rail.

There are no people shouting "I'VE NO WI-FI. I 'M ON THE TRAIN. I SAID I'M ON THE TRAIN. WE JUST LEFT (turns to person beside them and asks "where are we? ". PORTLAOISE, WE JUST LEFT PORTAOISE SO IT'LL BE AGES BEFORE WE GET THERE" into their phones.

The one with Gareth Bale?

That stupid therapie ad (laser hair removal) - it has gotta be one of the most annoying ads on TV.

Andbelieve it or not, they have trimmed and smoothed it out to be less annoying.

"So, Daily millions is on every day?"

"Yep."

Names every day of the week, followed by "yep"

"So why don't they just call it Daily Millions?"

Apart from being incredibly annoying and shít, i don't get it.. Is 'the joke' just yer man being thick?

Green Giant

That "it's not smart, it's thick" one for Meteor (I think?) where the woman asks her 'phone' for the capital of some dump that I've forgotten


It's thick alright

Most importantly, they've turned the truly divine Audrey Hepburn into a cheap whore hawking their junk.

Unforgivable.

Didn't they do something similar to an Elvis Presley song for a lotto ad?
I aint no fan of Elvis-but you could tell that it wasn't him.

That walking talking mushroom thats a mascot in the Champions League ads is really starting to annoy me.

What's the story with POC in those Pinergy ads ?

The people who's house he's in seem so shocked he's there, did he break in ? what in hell is it supposed to be
