Adverts you despise

Allyall

The An Post advert with Lisa Hannigan singing Christmas Waltz.
Slowly grating more and more.

Anyone absolutely hate that All Blacks ad, the way he emphasised 'All Blacks' proper annoys me.

All those smarty arty ads for fragrances. The worst of them IMO is that Invictus ad. How smug can you get.

I like the fragrances ads, some I prefer over others!

ivytwine

Usually like Chanel's ads but that slowed down version of You're The One That I want grinds on my ears!

Two in a row
Rabo Direct, "We should start saving for an extension"
Boss, "I am a man of today"

The supermarkets have excelled themselves with crappy adverts this year but this gets my No.1 puke award for smugness and general disconnectivity with the real world. No ugly people anywhere in sight, homeless beggars, drunkards etc.

All smiles, beautiful people, beautiful homes....

100% agree. And note I carefully removed the youtube clip.
It just typifies the cynical outlook ." Can we have a good looking but ordinary guy who'll smugly smug around in smugness smuggings things with his smug wife in his smug house.."

One of the annoying things at Christmas is all the perfume/eau du toilette ads which seem to get more pretentious every year.

I saw the Dolce & Gabbana one earlier with Matthew McConaughey and Scarlett Johansson. I really like them both but the advert is just terrible. They'd probably sell more of the stuff if they just said nothing and showed a bit of skin.

Whoever the guy is who does the talk over to advertise this website - it comes on when i watch home and away online - sounds like he got an unexpected phonecall from someone telling him its now or never to do the add, and he is in bed under the bedclothes, with a horrendous hangover and just could not be arsed!!! Painful to listen to..... I mute it now, but OMG!!!!:rolleyes:

"Have a Holly, Jolly Christmas.....it's the best time of the year"

The marketing team at Vodafone should be made spend 12 hours in a room with their christmas ad on a loop. If they emerge unscathed, without wanting to beat the living snot out of anyone who looked at them cock-eyed, then they are allowed run with the ad.

God yes. The worst is that the ad is almost always on more than once in a break, so it sounds like a broken record.

Dennys real family ads. Grrrrr :mad:

"he's a werry dud santee"

"I'm tired after Santy coming Paul. Are you tired Paul"?

Paul: "Hmmph" *stuffing himself with gross cheapo sausages*

There's enough Masons, Jaydens, Kaydens and Braydens running around, let me assure you. Puke.

A lad I worked with a few months ago from Tallaght had a half day once (morning off, doctors appointment or something), came in laughing his ass off about popping into the Square after on the way to work and hearing some mother calling her child over... "c'mear Pocka-jahontus!" :pac:

BoJack Horseman

Dunne's Stores Christmas ad.

Aside from being generally sh*t & up its own ass, I also know it's filmed in Wicklow Town.

As a resident I know that: Snow is unicorn rare & that no one is that good looking or happy in the town!

donegal_man

There is a truly repellent McDonalds ad on at the moment with some woman reciting a piece of puke inducing doggerel while an instrumental version of "I Wish It Could Be Christmas" plays in the background

I hate that ****ing vista print add. It seems to be on every two mins. But hey I guess they just wanted you to know.

"I'm not going to be the person I'm expected to be anymore".
Some perfume brand or other. Annoying as hell every single year before Christmas and has undoubtedly been mentioned before.

+ 1 for the Dunnes Stores ad, but more so because I find it a bit creepy, he is on his way home from work, and seems to be paying a lot of attention to young, high spirited girls, continues on playing a peeping tom and then arrives home, where what seems to be his mother is looking after his daughter, as I said to Mr Cofy "and why wouldn't he be smiling at his mammy, he probably has the wife buried under the floor boards!!".

Then again the voice over does not help.

Is it just me, that the adverts are going on a bit longer on TV lately for Christmas?

Agricola

Every advert for perfume and especially aftershave. The worst offender I've seen recently is one with Gerard Butler. It's like something they got him to do for Comedy Relief, its teeth wateringly awful.

The marketing executives must realize that they are now parodying pretentious perfume ads and are just saying "Fúck it, it'll get us noticed!"

Thargor

Nah Mathew McConahay and Scarlett Johanssons one is absolutely painful every time it comes on...

Tipsy McSwagger

Jaysus that car ad on UTV with Liam Neeson doing his Taken speech is awful.
