Adverts you despise

Acacia

The Compare the Meerkat ads have just got super-annoying... it was mildly amusing the first couple of times, but now it's just overkill. And they're trying to flog their own merch as well as whatever service the website provides... that fake accent drives me bananas... "Get limited edition Safari Oleg toy..." Get a limited edition kick up the arse, more like.

The ad for the Oscars on RTE2. Everytime I hear that music I hear the opening bars of "Praise You" by Fatboy Slim.

They were annoying from the beginning.Utterly hate them and that stupid "simples" catchphrase.

The latest PrePay Power one that's on every ad break on Sky at the moment. Just f**k off you bunch of sh*t-stained cock-knockers with your equally sh*t product. Especially 'Mom' with the ugliest fringe in existence. Her hairdresser much hate her as much as I do.

Omackeral

Any betting ad that airs during a football match. Promotes in-game live betting with a slick looking 'bloke' always being a 'lad' or else a cockney wideboy Ray Winstone growling at you to Cash Aaht. Just f*ck off.

Any daytime tv ads during the likes of Jeremy Kyle are invariably thrashy yokes for bingo, personal injury compensation or horoscopes. At least they know their target audience ,I guess.

ollaetta

What's with this rehashing of old ads from a few years back?

That ultra annoying one with the 4 tossers waxing and shaving their chests is back and the lottery ones with the auld wan and the Jack Russell are getting just a little (alright, huge!) bit tiresome.
"new Nenagh by-pass"? Come on, it's only there about 15 years!

How many more drops can PhoneWatch milk out of this advert?!? :eek: :eek: :eek: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

By the time they finally consign it to history, it'll probably be as shrivelled as an old cat's bottom...

Elaine still looks good, though. Here's her Facebook:

That originally aired at least 7 years ago!

The couple,brother and neighbour in that advert are the most unlikeable,smug collection of hideous w@nkers to appear in any advert I've seen in years.

With any luck their houses are being burgled while they're out.

madmaggie

No, no, darkdubh, they all have such nice names! I bet the burglars are called Anto or Johnno, but we not told that, maybe in the next ad.

Anto and Johnno aren't that ****ing stupid, more like Dekko and Ianzer.

Awake&Unafraid

Quote devil ad - "We also do young drivers insurance, but you're not going to get that for €250" ugh makes my f***ing blood boil.

All their ads are actually a disgrace to mankind.

Who is the slimy, slick arsehole in those ads. He acts as though people should know who he is. I don't trust him anyway.

That's him. What you just linked confirmed him to be exactly the kind if Celtic tiger spanner I would have expected him to be. Sounds like something he wrote himself.

lertsnim

That nicorette ad with the smug bollocks running the race. Also the coors ad where the two idiots dig their way through the snow to the back door of the pub. They are the ads that are annoying me greatly on just the last ad break

Bruno Mars Toyota Yards ad!!! 😒

LynnGrace

'Rachel is moving in....oh we will have secrets and dares'...

What age are you, eight!?
Jesus wept. That Bank of Ireland ad is sh1t.

It is spectacularly annoying, in fairness.

Which is probably the whole point, but still.

Very, very irritating.

I'm also killed trying to figure out why she looks so familiar and where do I know her from?

Willfarman

The macdonalds ads with the farmer bringing the wife for a floppy pedigree chum burger after a spot of fencing and a drive on his Massey. They know their farmers by name say they. They and the processers they buy from are robbing rual economies.

Does every ad nowadays require an empty, meaningless hipster aesthetic?

Glasses-check.

Cake-check.

Sound effect from the Bionic Man (I think)-check.

Orla Kiely tweeness-check.

EBS ad with Mrs Middle Class and her washing machine. If it's on the middle of the floor, how come there's water everywhere? Lookit, woman, disconnect the yoke.
