Adverts you despise

The 9.99 train ad. There cannot be a train to Dublin (at any price) from platform 6. I'm pretty sure the only stations in Ireland with a platform 6 are Dublin Connolly and Dublin Heuston.

That SMA ad where the mammy smells the kids arse only to find out he needs changing and the other kid with his face covered in food, if she stuck his head in it I doubt it would be as bad.

What I hate about that ad is the song-I know tis an old song coz me Ma told me,but the way she sings it she sounds like she is trying to sound funny,but really sounds ridiculous.

I don't get the humour thing, is she trying to be funny?

I don't think so that is the style of her singing

AIG all blacks ad. Are they a couple or flat mates? Are they trying to be funny? What's the point of the ad?

Who? That's a really old pop song, least if it's the one I'm thinking of.

And if it is, that ad is the worst example of the "Mums are great for being Mums" trash on TV right now. "Take it from us: you're doing great". "Oh, really, faceless corporation: I'm doing great because you said so? Well that feels wonderful. Me, personally? For all you know I'm starving my kid in a shed. But no, I'll take it from you. And if I am doing great...why would I need the validation of a formula company?", said Mum.

The song sounds really different, as if they mixed it up, and stripped the strings, making it sound terrible.

Well, whatever, the ad is awful. Sniffing ****ty arses and getting piss in your face are occupational hazards for those who choose to have kids. Those of us who choose otherwise, don't want to see it.

"I wish I was an actress. I wouldn't be sitting here with 4 children. I told him to get the snip, would he listen? No! instead I have to do all this **** and he does nothing, the bastard."

The Hive song is really getting on my nerves, especially the really long version

The folks at PhoneWatch have just distanced themselves further from Eircom by introducing a new logo - but they're not distancing themselves at all from those burglars.

Do they not think that that ad might be starting to show its age?!?

John McGuire and his Quote Devil colleagues don't feel that they need to make a new ad, either - which, knowing McGuire, is only marginally more surprising than the Pope being Catholic... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

On the other side of the water, meanwhile, the real Andrex puppy has made a welcome return. Unfortunately, it's not a triumphant one - he isn't even in the lead role...

The three advert where the animals are photo bombing.
The guy talking over the advert thinks he is a comedian and it's really distracting while he is talking that he keeps interrupting what he is saying every time an animal photo bombs.
Can we have a thread regarding tv announcers thinking they are comedians or telling us what's going to happen in the program coming up next or giving out personnel opinions on the said program. Rant rant

AIG. The feckin eejit who is so excited about AIGs new ad. In his dressing gown. Why is he so excited about car insurance, he doesnt look like he has a car, sat at home in his dressing room in the middle of the day.

That ad for the adult literacy course. Working class Dad in his working class living room, how f**king patronising. :mad:

Getting bombarded with these lately, is there some chronic shortage of accountants or something?

The Park TV adverts.

Child: "I got amazing toys! Toys such as LAGO the south korean clone of Lego. Its almost as good as real Lego! I also got a Pee-S-Pee handheld games console, which is a south korean clone of the popular handgames console. My favourite game is Fukushima Football"

Dad:"I got lots of treats!. Not great but better than last year when all I got was a packet of smokes and a visa bill".

Oh John maguire, I bet he's angry when RTE did a show a year ago about people who moved back in with their parents. Probably wonders why didin't RTE revive I'm AN Adult, Get Me Out Of Here. He sounds dead cocky, when he says "you also get whatchamacallit cover, but you won't get that for 250". Yeh, because you want to steal our money....

Apparently someone who worked there pointed out that the ad looked a bit chea and shoddy, respectfully, after he showed it to his staff. That person didn't work there a lot longer.

But the €250 part isn't his fault - as much of a plonker as he comes over as, he doesn't set the prices. That'd be the underwriters, like AXA, Zurich, RSA, etc.

Haha I've just seen a quite excellent advert for Three Mobile where their current everything offer doesn't hahaha include 'cheese', haha or 'the British Empire' or hahahaha 'alarm clocks'.

It's brilliant they way they've done that, to try and show how 'random' they are.

Yeah not liking the bombarding in certain TV spots. Irish people are not the only customers after all.

That Coors Light ad when the bloke goes into the log cabin and it's full of hipsters copying his moves as he tries to get a pint. The song, the actors, everything about it annoys me.
