Adverts you despise

+ 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.

Reading a bit too much into this?

"We had it nothing back then... we should go back"

"...[pause]... yes, we should"

WHAT THE F*** DOES THAT EVEN MEAN DO YOU HAVE A F***ING TIME MACHINE OR SOMETHING, OR ARE YOU JUST REALLY F***ING PRETENTIOUS TO THE POINT OF MAKING NO SENSE!?!?

Can't believe Martin Scorsese directed that ad.

"They drove a dump truck full of money up to my house, I'm not made of stone!"

syklops

That new one with the fella spreading vicks all over himself in the office. Such an annoying ad!

Another perfume offender...

Ralph Lauren Red- is it actually the original from the 80s? So cheesy.

The Playstation 4 ad with the camp lad entering the game to save his friends after being invited, and being killed straight away.

Presumably because you look like a man, but now you smell like a girl.

Because perfume is for girls, you see.

Reading this post before seeing the advert, made it more enjoyable.

Yer mans' reaction in the meteor ad at "too much egg not enough nog", could possibly
be the worst acting I've ever seen.

I hadn't noticed that until a few days back, really irritating. He might as well try to slam his jaw off the ground while groaning "hhhwwwuuaaaahhh!?!?!?". Worse than you would see on a Nickelodean kids programme from the 90s.

The infomercial for the cervical screening, where the lady get progressively older. The preachy tone of the whole thing really grates with me. I DO know what screening is, not a complete thick.:mad:

"I'm not going to be who I'm expected to be anymore "

Woop dee ****ing doo

In fact all perfume ads are bollocks

the purple tin

The badly dubbed loan shark ad with the doctor helping the man who seriously injured himself trying to pay off his 1038% interest loan obviously he wasn't paying it off fast enough and got a friendly reminder from a couple of company goons.

Mikosyko

Vistaprint

"I just wanted you to know....."

He even looks at the camera while he does it, he's the worst actor Ive ever seen in an ad outside of the freaks they get to do American infomercials.

I think that's meant to be ham acting - hardly meant to be taken seriously :rolleyes:

I doubt he's waiting on the Oscar nomination to drop through the door.

The one with scarlet Johansson in it! "I like your dress", "it likes you back" fcuk off!!! Argh.

And the one with the woman in the house, bath etc and there is a man with the creepiest voice asking her to pick up the phone. She is so pretty etc. He sounds like a crazed stalker and she seems delighted with herself.

I purposely do not know what either of these ads are advertising apart from it is perfume. They make me want to smash my Tele in.

Obviously but theres good ham acting and then theres "Sh1t we need another body for this, grab someone from the office whose never been in front of a camera in their life" type of acting like we see here.

Is she supposed to be sexy? She looks mentally ill the way she's rolling around the place cackling, really disturbing ad.

The Ultimate Wingman. I swear to Jesus...

Two things:

1. The laddish culture in which a wingman might exist is the world of the imbecile.

2. If you insist on basing your crappy ad on the idea of the wingman, try to make him look in some way appealing to...somebody, somewhere. Scraggly long hair, a scraggly beard and an awful, awful curly mustache. And a kilt and stick? What the hell is that all about?

Finches for me, from now on.

The dfs winter sale advert has started, no amount of happy people at a funfair with sofas will make me want to go there at 9am on St Stephens day, apart from the fact the closest store to me is over 2 hours away :P
