    "HAVE YOU REGISTERED FOR IRISH WATER YET"?..................................:mad::mad::(:rolleyes::eek:

    Its probably already been mentioned but I'm getting real tired of that Guinnes ad with the Munster team. Especially the bit where it builds the All Blacks up as unbeatable and follows with the line "And thats your fate today the Munster team were told" What claptrap, I doubt the team ever took the field with the intention of losing.

    Yeah, and you can be sure they would never have gone down in history if they'd spent the previous evening sampling Diageo's range of fine products!

    You know when they are giving the Man of the Match award after a game, and it's usually some fat little eejit from the company who gives him the trophy, and at the end then the camera tries to get a shot of the MOTM, and the little fat lad tries to lean into the photo as though some of that sense of success and achievement might rub off on him if he leans in close enough?

    Yeah. That's what that ad reminds me of.

    The UPC Prime ad is grinding my gears, it comes across like its been put together in about 10 minutes by some college intern.


  • Registered Users Posts: 206 ✭✭tommytee


    I utterly dispise the aib brave ad,
    admittedly it's shot well but that über annoying American accent makes me want to put me head in a mincer,

    Used to annoy me enough when I was with UPC and their box never worked properly.

    Annoys me twice as much now that I've finally - FINALLY - made the break, gone to Sky, and feckin UPC ads are haunting me on every bloody channel every five minutes :mad: (I may be exaggerating slightly but not much)

    Tis as good a reason as any.

    I'm amazed that Betfair one with those creepy looking CGI horses driving rally cars hasn't been mentioned yet, I'll probably have a nightmare in the near future where the f*ckers are chasing after me.

    The trivago ad with the insipid guitar and vocals

    "Oh my body starts to sheeeeever..."


    UGGHHH!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 74 ✭✭LiamHam82


    Another vote for Trivago from me, their ads promote dirty hotel shagging instead of actually discovering the city your in. Trust me, when you go on holiday you spend as little time as possible in your hotel room.

    Don't hate me but yer wan in the Aldi easter ad singing has a really annoying lisp, so many sssssssss......

    I friggin hate that ad! She looks so gormless...

    Also "Ive kissed for peace" and it shows a load of hippies drinking coke at a protest, I think they need to take a look at some of coca colas activities in South America and other deprived regions there :mad:

    The bit where they say that betting with Betfair is as easy as "tap, tap, tap" is the bit that freaks me. "You can now lose your skin through your mobile phone in the middle of the night after a few bottles. It's as easy as tap, tap, tap. No need for those pesky betting shops and their inconvenient opening hours".

    Another reason to hate their ads.

    Th. Avonmore ad. Is she singing in English?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43 the raven 15


    That Boo Hoo.com advert on MTV.
    I hate the ad and the song with a vengeance, MTV show the advert, then the music video......then the advert again...

    You know the song....'oh oh oh ow oh....I was a king under your control....oh oh oh oh oh.....'

    I'm old enough to remember when MTV was a music video channel....
    Now it's a contraception station.....16 and pregnant....teen mom.....Geordie shore...x on the beach.
    When you watch MTV now you just start hating the human race and never wanna procreate.....
    Horrible people.

    That stupid McDonald's ad is back; the one with the oul'fella and the youths, with the tagline "We've all got McDonald's in common."

    I remember those days too Raven - the best of music and music videos - and Vincent Hanley :). Complete tripe now though.

    Any ad that portrays as Life as a Journey with predefined Milestones that you Must Achieve. :mad:

    You know what I mean:
    young white man or woman goes to school;
    first kiss at a "rock" concert;
    goes to university (cue cap and gown);
    puts on a suit and goes to work;
    gets married in an expensive ceremony (cue white dress and tuxedo);
    next shot is of woman in hospital in just enough pain (not too much) as she squirts out a sprog;
    couple of years later, cute kids are doing something fun and educational;
    first day of school, doting parents drop the brats off at the school gate, maybe one tear;
    hand shoots up in class - popular and smart (no glasses - can't look too smart, now);
    teenager argues with concerned parent, who fails to put his hand upside teenager's face;
    parents help teenager move in to university accommodation;
    ...
    parents are now grandparents ... it's all part of the Circle of Life, don't you know? And don't you dare deviate from the ordained schedule, or you will be a Failure as a Human Being and Unworthy of our Product.

    Yep ... "despise" is the right word. :o

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    There's an ad for Allianz on the British channels, and although the woman in the ad is supposedly getting singing lessons, she still has a sh*tty flat singing voice!


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,653 ✭✭✭✭amdublin


    BOI Mortgages

    Weird man with voice like five year old with weird girlfriend who acts like five year old.


  • Registered Users Posts: 206 ✭✭tommytee


    New Tayto ad is a tad weird!!
    Do I need to see some lads meat and two veg in his tight shorts? Certainly not. All capped off with mr tayto sitting on a dudes bed with his arm around him, i dont despise it yet but a bit creepy nonetheless

    "You come and go. You come and go. Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon".

    I hate it. I hate her and her flat voice and flat eyes and her stupid father and his gormless expression.

    Homophobic much?

    He has a slightly gay voice, but it doesn't mean he is gay.

    They could have lost the -"who's winning? It doesn't matter"

    Them two muppets in the AIG advert really annoy me. Strolling around in his bathrobe with his big monstrous head.
    Hate them fools with a passion.
