IF YOU CAR IS BILLOWING SMOKE FROM THE ENGINE, DONT PROCEED TO DRIVE IT ANY-FURTHER!!

PULL IN AND CALL YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY.

What really gets me about that ad is that she lives in this D4/Blackrock-type redbrick mansion with a gravel driveway - probably worth €2-3 mills, yet she's driving a pre-07 Mondeo?

Definitely wouldn't happen in real life!

Yeah I always assumed it was a second car but then in one ad the Dad is holding up a sign in the background and it's still the only car in the driveway. That's a serious failure to keep up with the Joneses. The Joneses will be laughing their arses off at the smoking junk heap now! Shame on you, irritating lady with an irritating gullible family (how many times have they been robbed in broad daylight?)! Shame I say!!!

Personally I think some people attach the term "hipster" on to way, way too many things - a lot of people just lazily attach it to anything and everything in fashion now that wasn't 10-15 years ago for example.

Having said that though, let me introduce you to possibly the most over the top, definitive hipster ad yet...

It's not even all that bad or irritating to me really, but my god talk about trying way too hard to look like your not trying all that hard.

Ugh. Really annoying Newbridge silver Christmas ad with Amy Huberman

ivytwine

Ugh. Its4women and their "handbag" cover. Beyond patronising. I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole. I'm a woman not a simpering 50s throwback.

I like that ad.Was expecting to hate it,don't think theres anything overly hipsterish about it either.

Transport yourself back to a simpler time

No wonder our forebears went on an arson spree.

Littlewood's Christmas ad, makes me want to vomit. It's not 2006 so drop the overly self conscious consumerist garbage!

They're smack bang out of the mid 90s, really.

Yerra feck it, she's still looking incredible, when she turns around in the coffee shop I thought they had used CGI at first. They're no more terrible than any other car ad on the go right now, but with the added bonus of Claudia taking me back to when I was 15 again.

Take from that what you will...

Oh dear god the Amy Huberman Newbridge ads are back on for Christmas. Cringe!

The "Budweiser Dream Job" ad is really starting to grind my gears to be honest. Especially that smug git at around 52 seconds into the video in the link below going on about his chain of "five star hotels across Ireland". Want to punch him every time I see it.

The twerp from all of the ads has been revived for the Axa red line ads again.
I thought they were done.

For some reason they are annoying me more this time around..

Squeaky voice "You're really really small, you know that?"
Girl "Stop, you'll break it"
Attempt deep voice "Break it"

:mad:

"Oh look the axa red line..."

"F*ck off".

I think he works in the Shelbourne Hotel. He looks like the fella who is on the documentary series about the Shelbourne on RTE, (being repeated now on Sundays at 8.30pm)

So do I, not a bad ad at all.

The Guinness ad trying to, I don't actually know, get some shine from Munster Vs New Zealand.

Guinness had nothing to do with that day, what next a Guinness ad around the Apollo Moon missions?

Made of Less - Less colour, less alcohol, less hops, less roasted barley

Actually most Guinness ads of late. No one actually drinks the stuff in the Ads.
If they can not get paid actors drinking it, why should I? Seems like pure being artsy for the sake of it and padding the C.V.s of marketing folk

That Herbal Essences shampoo ad - 'yeess, yeesssss, yeeesssssssss'.
No! No!! No!!!
