Adverts you despise

Just saw this last night, and it is awful crap. Bring back the ones that used to annoy me before, e.g. the guy saying 'thirty euro a week, what's that in a year' ... almost seems like brilliant advertising :pac: compared to Aldi's present efforts.

AWFUL annoying ad !! But if it does anything to make the people who do this "bye bye bye bye" thing on the phone aware of how irritating they are, I could maybe tolerate it a bit. It's becoming a chronic condition in the last year or two.

I had the same problem before with this ad, that surely if she won then she'd be quitting, isn't that the fantasy people have about winning the lottery?! But someone noted this is part if that awful series of ads. She hasn't won, she's one of the parasites the guy who won brought with him on holidays, the same people who are spending his winnings on antiques and **** in another ad.

Which is also a terrible ad: hey, win the lotto then hand over your winnings to the most feckless, deceptive, stupid ***** you've ever barely known, good knows these leeches will be scraping at your back for the rest of your life, might as well indulge them.

As if thats not bad enough everytime I walk into my local newsagent I'm confronted by the advert featuring that cretin making a cretin face surrounded by said leeches.Not the exact one as below but close.

I presume the one you're talking about is the one where he's dressed as a sailor.

Radio ad but I am constantly hearing it when Im walking to work. 2 very dull people talking slowly about whether or not to eat pasta or curry, grind my teeth when I hear it.

Yes!I have to overcome the urge to put my fist through his stupid face everytime I pop down for milk.

British Gas and their creepy and annoying drawings/animations

Dirty Dingus McGee

The Today FM ad with the Horse.

Who the **** came up with that idea, it makes absolutely no sense and I don't know what the point of it is.

Complete and utter horsesh1te is all it is.

ewwww just caught the end of an alliance insurance add where I think its father and daughter sing Karma Chameleon out of tune together in their car!

The GoCompare ad with the singing man with the tuxedo and moustache. What an annoying little bastard.

The GoCompare ad with the singing man with the tuxedo and moustache. What an annoying little bastard. Everytime I heard his voice on the ad, it made me more annoyed. They should have replaced that bollox of a man with a woman instead.

Calin plus yoghurt


Are you going climbing that mountain?
I dunno, my Ould bones aren't great, at least I ayte yoghurt with calcium in it
That stuff doesn't have vitamin D, you may as well be having a twix. you'll probably perish up there

I don't like those aldi ads because they have completely over egged the thing that is "so irish"

Alot of Irish girls do have a problem accepting compliments but they don't go on like that complete mentaller.

Then the "bye bye" one. Something I am guilty of myself I admit But they've gone way over board to the point that the woman is saying "baw-baw-baw-baw-baw-baweeee" i.e. not even bye.

The length of time the girl and the woman go on. It's really not funny.

Husband and I were just talking bout that last night.

It's supposed to be an angry song and they have some one softly singing it in a careless way that doesn't fit the meaning or tone of the song at all!

Trivago. Hands down winner. So much so that i know the name but refuse to even look let alone fund the convayor of crap ads.

What about the other UK energy company with their CGI flame ?

It's not translucent so it looks like a small pile of poo.

Game of War is a 2013 game.


So how to revamp it ?

Late last year they spent spending 40 million on the ad campaign staring Kate Upton. Her character isn't even in the game.

It's one of those "free" games with in app purchases. They're making a million a day on consistent churn of new customers.

I'm sure it's been said a hundred times but the coffee ad with George clooney, tis fairly cringe. Fair enough sandals can be odd but the look of the other guy when he sees George wearing them.

I've just discovered Mecca Bingo's latest ad. It's fucking sad. The only sort of person who plays online bingo is a stay-at-home mum who thinks Loose Women is the height of comedy.

SuperValu ad with all the families in the kitchen. Waaaaaaaaaay too much false enthusiasm for my liking.
