    That Nescafe Dolce Gusto one, with the talking sculptures/works of art. If the telly wasn't mounted on the wall, it'd be in grave danger of going out through the window when that comes on.

    The Lidl restaurant ad really grinds my gears. If those middle class bellends were told they were eating Lidl produce at a fancy restaurant they would probably puke it up on the spot.

    There's one on UK TV from time to time I find it almost slightly disturbing. It's about some old goat that's trying to get you to be her friend. Apparently she's suffering from dementia and she's trying to sell to you the idea of befriending someone like her with dementia. As if your life wouldn't be complete if you didn't' have someone with a long term illness in your life. The add goes on with a collage of TV game/chat show personalities such as Paul o'Grady and Amanda Holden etc rocking back an forth to the tune "i'll get by with a little help with my friends" as if they were singing to a group of people with the mental age of 4. They all look really awkward as they sit in their own homes standing in front of a tv camera acting like a muppet. The add winds up with the old goat wearing here best cardie saying thank you and pointing to a web link where you can rush off to sign up to get your get your free dementia friend. I wonder did a single person go to that web site. And before anyone says I'm making fun of people with dementia I'm not. I'm making fun of the add.

    Oh and there's also an add I don't recall what it's for , maybe Guinness, where there is a football manager going mental in a locker room giving a motivation speech to the team before they go out on the pitch. He's spitting , roaring and slurring his words in his attempt to show his 'passion for the game'. Utterly pathetic.

    If you don't press play, and just look.....

    I better add to that.




    Is it just me, or does she look real old? (I have no idea what age she is, but I would've put her in her 30's before I saw that.)

    Yeah,it certainly does not capture her at her most flattering looking.If I had never heard of her and was to guess her age from that still I'd say well over forty.I think shes 35 ish.

    haha I always laugh at that ad. I know its a serious ad and is supposed to be hard hitting but it makes me laugh as there is something very sinister about the surgeon who almost seems to take joy at seeing mangled bodies coming into his A&E. The bit where he warns us against wearing a seatbelt under your arm because "the seatbelt will have lacerated your vital organs, going through them like cheeswire" always gets a belly laugh from me; he says it in such a creepy voice that it almost seems like he gets a perverse kick out of seeing someone come in with a seatbelt embedded in their lungs :D

    The new Guinness ad advertisng this Hophouse 13 lager.

    The complete sh1te they go on with in all of their ads that somehow whatever alcoholic drink you like defines you as a person and that drinking Guinness shows you have real character is just nauseating.

    The fact that they try to pretend that they got a load of people off the streets who amazingly all happen to be quite young good looking and stylishly dressed to head up to the Guinness factory and taste this stuff instead of a bunch of wino's who are really he only people who would drop everything in their lives and head to St James Gate for a tasting of new beer (did these people not have anything else to do while they were in Dublin that day) really pisses me off.

    I'd be quite happy if Guinness (apart from the loss of jobs) went out of Business so I don't have to endure their pretentious ads anymore.

    Yer man who does the voicover is getting close to being as annoying as yer one on the AI "brave" ad.

    I hope who ever buys any Guiness on the basis of there ads get a most desperate hangover from the stuff. Thats all they ****ing deserve for being so thick.

    That ad with all the babies laughing is beginning to haunt me - it'll be giving me nightmares soon.

    I have no idea what it's for. Of all of the ads that have me reaching for the remote, that one has me absolutely kamikaze diving for it.

    I know we're all meant to be hardwired to love cutesy lovely laughing gurgly babies - but I clearly missed out on that gene and will do damage to my TV soon if it keeps being shown :mad:

    That ad turns my stomach.Wouldn't mind if they just dressed yer man up as a woman and had him doing an unconvincing drag act but they seem to have transplanted his torso onto a womans lower body through CGI and the result is like something out of a horror film.And it seems to go on for fecking ages.

    And what about that one with the Jamaicans dressed up in their 'smart' clothes. There so poor that they don't realize that it not the same their smart clothes are cheap. Well that's a general Jamaican trait anyway as depicted by Patrick Trueman character in Eastenders. You know his waistcoat only cost 6 pounds from some grotty eastend market. And then they prance around in the middle of the day thinking their the sh*t cause of the look when they just look like the poor immigrants that they are. <kisses lips>.

    If its the same ad I think youre talking about theyre not Jamaican,theyre these guys in The Congo in Central Africa who are part of a kind of sub culture that involves dressing up as "gentlemen" and strutting their stuff.Anyway,regardless of where theyre from I don't see what any of it has to do with Guinness

    Ad on Radio Nova for Kilruddery House and Gardens, which says you can get there by Luas. Nearest Luas stop is over 12km away. It's actually closer to the city centre than it is to the House! Really need to think things through when putting an ad together
