    Wasn't the -EXACT- same woman on an ad for them before an claiming something else? Either that or whoever makes their ads has a thing for really annoying, similar voices. It was the one where she was harping on about "your little tiny babies" which came over as pretty fecking low all in all.

    Different person but equally annoying. This Roz is much more nasally.

    That smug "Emmaaaaaaaa" one.

    Revenge I guess for the "Donaaaaaal!" one.

    You must have very little in your life bothering you if that ad makes you want to cry.

    My main impression with that ad is that the look on Emma's face says "how did I end up married to this condescending s***bag?"

    Has anyone seen the 'lavish' new M&S christmas ad?(christmas = alice in wonderland apparently).

    I could be wrong is the "actress" the one from Transformers 3?

    It also features Helena Bonham Carter.... goes on for a whole minute & looks like it cost about a million pounds.
    Yet I still thought it was terrible.

    All the big Christmas ads are a let down this year.

    The Park Ireland for Christmas. Jesus wept.

    It's on 1000 times an hour. If they saved all the money on advertising they could give it to them anyway. :(

    Well, the choice of song is good - but everything else... :rolleyes:

    The voiceover sounds like he's trying to be Alan Hughes - if so, he's failing miserably.

    Also, "a massive €25,000 cash". I don't think it's that massive, actually - especially when one considers that every contestant on Stinging Reek (you know what I mean) goes away with at least €20,000...

    I liked it. But then I'm a sucker for fairytale/Alice stuff.

    Just had "Donal, donal? DONAL!", followed by "Emma. Emma? EMMA!"!".

    Thoroughly irritating.

    I'm surprised someone hasn't made a mashup of the two of them.

    This isn't one particular ad, nor do I find the ads themselves that annoying (well some can be), but not being able to sit down and watch a football match without being bombarded with instructions to BET NOW!!! by about 6 different online bookies infuriates me. Shut the fúck up, I do not want to throw all my money into a black hole, and I hate the fact you make hundreds of millions from people who do.

    Paddy power
    Betfair
    Victor Chandler
    Ladbrokes
    Coral
    William Hill

    Fúck off and die. All of you.

    Ads with 007's aftershave for men.
    What sort of After shave do the Bond villains use? Both male & female?Think of Pussy Galore in Goldfinger etc... Now there's a product line! Thinking of Christopher Walken here in ' A View to a kill' - he features In better quality menswear ads at the moment does'nt he?

    Instead of paying for your electricity with bills you can top it up with a prepay plan.

    All the car adverts at the moment, are completely unbearable apart from maybe the Toyota one. Bad music being the main reason.
