What really winds me up about this is them flat to g Connor McGregor shouting "60 g's baby!" on his UK debut (it's the prize given to the best knockout win of the night).

RTE never showed that. So why are they trying to take credit for it? They ugh as well slap some Superbowl highlights in there while they're at it.

I assume they are doing some documentry or something about him, I don't think they are taking credit..... in fairness there is very little to be taking credit for in that promo.

The new Budweiser World Cup ad with the lad kicking a ball off the roof of a building!! The production team made a right balls of it as the building goes from being square to being round Drives me up the wall!!! Now in the version below there's a wide shot at 0:11 of the second square building but it's defo not in the TV version

Definitely agree that almost everything they are "highlighting" on there is brutal, but the way they show it definitely tries to make it look like they showed that fight. It's in the same nature that some of the sports highlights show up, if they were being honest they would have showed a quick lip of him in the Late Late Show. It's just shockingly false advertising really, because they have little else to claim.

And on the subject of RTE...

That ****ing Erin McLove ad for his new cook g programme going around to the elderly and talking about cake, wooly jumpers and the smell of Irish tomatoes (seriously, wtf?). Some call him Donal Skehan, but we all know he is really Eoin McLove, and he really comes over as one detestable bag of farts.

That Tesco ad with the chirpy "grab and go it is so". What?

Whoever conceives these stupid ideas for ads should all thrown in a box and dumped at sea. All they succeed in doing is showcase an lot of detestable people living their life as nothing more than marketeers guinea pigs.
"Remember the Summer of '14 - Every little helps". Meaningless catchphrases for meaningless products.

So, how many times have those STUPID "bin it your way" chewing gum adverts shown up in this thread?

I hate them sooooooo bad......

A terrible ad, but when she says 'gum lidder (not litter) fine' in a wannabe American accent, that just finishes me off.

Cricket fan

Every day I wake up I thank Jesus that that hello.ie add is gone (hopefully forever).

"But you all have mortgage protection....right?"

"Its soooo simple. Even an adult could get it"

grrrrrrrrr. I want to see that kid being slowly lowered into a shark tank!!

Hande hoche!

That Low low advert with your one giving tips.

Since the last time the all blacks came to Ireland, presume the thing was done ihn the quick while they were here. Crushes my balls that ad.

The Lotto ad, the one ringing Malcolm to say 'it's a woman's problem'. Hate that ad.

Q. "How do I get rid of the bloodstains after tracking down and killing the whoever was behind the Just Eat ads?"
A. "Just pop the the items in a solution of Vanish, scrub and wash as normal with another scoop of Vanish in the machine."

It makes no sense! Surely if she's won the lotto she can quit her crap job!

When you're making an ad for a price comparison site for hotels, what do you choose for the background music? Something upbeat and cheerful?

Some Granola-Munching Wanker at Trivago's Marketing Department: "Hey, I found this depressed busker in the 'Tube station today! Let's get him to sing something for our ad!"

Totally agree. I know it's supposed to be humorous, but running an ad that says that it's OK to defraud your employer if you have just won a load of money on the Lotto is just plain wrong.

That yoghurt ad featuring Shakira with emphasis on her toned belly, I think she has it because she does a million sit ups every day not because she eats some brand of yoghurt.

Cricket fan

Adds that are all about "honesty" and "compassion" and then finish with the guy speedtalking through about 20 terms and conditions so you dont actually know what you're getting yourself into

The baby milk add with the father acting like a goof at the end. Its got the song "My love has no beginning...." in it. Yes because all men are useless and inconsiderate a**holes. Imagine the uproar if it was the other way around!!

rotun

Any payday loan ad. 1700% in the small print..

Also was up feeding the baby at 4 this morning, and that sma ad with all the mammies doing a great job came on.. Not a dad in sight.

Ah bit sure why would they want to give credit to dads? Sure if anything it's fashionable to be borderline e sexiest against fellas in advertising these days.

Look at the hotels combined ad (feck g woeful ad to begin with) where the boyfriend is some whacked out lunatic, but thankfully for them... girlfriend to the rescue!

Or the prepay power ad where the wife is looking after the housework, while the husband is unable to even pour himself a cup of tea. Luckily... wifey to the rescue! Even after she makes the kettle small again, she pours it since he must still not be capable.

And those bloody "Donal!" ads that are still going... I don't even know what they are for after all this time, airtricity maybe? Anyway imagine that it was the husband going bonkers at the wife for not having his dinner cooked, his clothes washed and ironed, and his breakfast waiting for him in the morning... only for her to make a clown of herself at the end so we only laugh at Donal's wife for not "doing her job as the woman of the house".

Obviously these are markets where women tend to be the key market to sell to hence why these companies do so, but the fact is the reverse would cause uproar and it just grates a bit. Doesn't help that they are terrible ads to begin with, which also explains the reporting to cheap tricks, but there you go.

The only reason I dont hate that "Donal!" add is because my name is actually Donal lol. Every time it comes on I look around the room to see who's calling me haha

Currently, the McDonald's ad "Taste" is getting really annoying with it's music

This is a perfect as for the average Irish thickos. Don't experiment with new foods. No they are not tasty. Look at these muppets making faces pretending they are eating new foods. Stick to our processed shi*e and you'll be safe.

Makes me sick.

The new Andrex ad with people discussing how clean they feel after using the the toilet.

Well put - I had been trying to pin down what I hated about this ad, and it's exactly this.

It's an appeal to the "I wouldn't like that" brigade, and people who go to a restaurant and say "now there's no sauce on that, is there?"

The 2 people they use to taste the McDonalds food at the end are so fcuking weird and smug looking aswell, especially the male one.

I wish that smug look to the side he does after taking a bite was followed by a fist flying in to smack it back out of his mouth.
