Adverts you despise

Same here. I just hate that ad, the guy with the hostile angry face on him, EM-MAW...EM-MAW...I couldn't buy that product, I hate the ad so much.

It is a toss between the 'Emma Emma' ad and any of the No Nonsense ads for me. They are embarrassingly bad.

PrepayPower.ie finally changed that f***ing ad!

The new one is equally crap but not nearly as hyper dramatic and rage-inducing. There's a new jingle bit at the end though, which is even tackier sounding than the last one!

Thank God they changed it, the old one was a real nightmare.

That the guy saying 'Listen MATT' and reeling off all his insurance advice was supposed to come across as an arrogant twat, and we were supposed to be happy when he gets smashed to a million pieces by the No Nonsense brick??

Just my interpretation!

I did like those ads at the beginning but it's been two years at this stage!

cjmcork

right price tiles have a Bruce Forsyth type impressionist doing their ads at the moment - why any company would think that THAT ad would make me want to buy tiles is a mystery

That tesco ad at Xmas with the Rod Stewart song was particularly horrific in my view.

The Yellow Brick Road one is by far the most axe-in-the-head like.

I just saw the "Follow the Yellow Brick Road" one, With a kid (Girl) doing it..

That's not the one i meant . I meant the Granny making the squeaky voice and doing some line from the Wizard of Oz.. Head wrecking.


And the advert "Thisss is a Baabysitter.."

The ads for some gym, I think it's 'energie', annoy me.

Mike Litoris

Just saw an ad for GPnow on tv3. Ad is ok but the music is all kinds of wrong.

I think their whole approach is gas, 'we leave your bin back where we got it' 'we don't block the road', I can just see a load of grizzled aul binmen sitting in a PowerPoint presentation listening to some young gimp from the marketing dept outlining this revolutionary new PR strategy. City bin, ye are cheap, that'll do

"we don't block the road" how are they actually going to manage that one?

the big cheesy head on "amy" in the new amazon ad

Amy with her "bobbley" head saying to the thicko who couldn't be bothered to find out how his new gadget worked "just beam it to the tv"
Beam?..Ok this isn't Star Trek.
Oh and then to be too personnel at the end " now get back to your friends"

The SMA ads. You're doing great Mum

Feck off - patronising twats!

The one with James Nesbit on holidays with the family
He just seems to be a trouble maker in every advert.
Normally someone who causes fights, ends up in someone else's room and seems at some point to have flashed at the poolside, would be kicked out. Pretty sure he would be the holiday reps worse nightmare.

The fact that there's no mention of dads (and the fact that the site is called SMA Mums) really annoys me.

True! I will think of this now when I see the ad!

AAagghh! Was going to post that earlier. His accent is headwrecking too.
It must be an in-house advert, There's no way a marketing company were paid for that shít.

Swi-swu I think Amy is flirting with yer man

I know this isn't something I can do anything about nor is it aimed at any advertiser in particular, but I really hate when an advertiser uses a popular song (or a song with personal memories) in their ad and just ruins it.

Case in point- UPC with One Republic's 'Good Life'. Now I know it's hardly Bach but it was a song that brought back good college memories for me. Now it just makes me think of flippin' UPC!

That Tesco ad with the badly-made up "mum and dad" with mum clearly thirty with grey highlights shown over Christmas....
