Adverts you despise

Thank Cavans broadband services for that double post

The 'backing brave' rubbish from AIB, ugh! I know I have posted about it before, as have loads of others. Whoever thought of that meaningless phrase should be forced to listen to the ads on repeat, for life. That voice, .

Any ad where words are pronounced with 'd' in them, when there isn't a 'd' in the word... Eigh-dee for eighty, Gaie-dee for Gaiety, for example, and usually pronounced in little, breathless voices. :mad:

Those prepay power ads where the father is standing in the hall pretending to hold a press conference make me want to scream.

The way the mother and daughter sit there all smug annoys the hell out of me.

And that new McDonalds add is awful. That kids annoying voice, then him giving his Dad a burger as if thats some great honour. Odds are the dad gave him the money to buy the damn thing

and still ricky villa

and another thing, whoever does the music for the Super Valu ads should be looking for a letter from Fraggle Rock's solicitors in the post

Must have cost all of 20 pence and the lad with the waggy finger gives me nightmares

They're called Stings, and boy do they hurt.
May I also add my disdain to that awful pre pay power ads not only that awful Pre pay power.ie press conference one but also Electric Ireland's ad with iRadios Cooper frying like he's spinning decks.

Lidl ads, stereotype heaven. Novelty calenders and nuns. Genius.

"MDV". It's a thing of "hardening" various consonants. You also hear "P" becoming "B" (my bayrents are, like, so pissed at me) and the hard C becoming hard G - "goffee gups".

Such pretentiousness.

The radio advert for Doonbeg Trump golf resort sounds like a sleezy porno site advert.

Allianz have an online ad running (saw it on twitch.tv) that shows a woman going to overtake a garbage truck, and running into it. Cue allianz insurance call centre view, ended with the original woman in another car, pulling out in front of the truck (same driver). Woman is blonde. To me, that ad is too damn stereotyping.

haribo ad with them doing kids voices.
goodfellas pizza where she the mom goes on about the cool kids are in the kitch.
Give me the creeps.

It was just on there now. I know I should be in bed but holy **** it's so ****ing offensive. Any teenager hears that and they wouldn't say "you're so weird" they'd say "you're such a pathetic embarrassing ****ing loser and I can't believe I'm from the same sad little puddle of failure just outside the gene pool that created your sad excuse for sentience you creepy, insipid freak masquerading as a human being. The kitch? **** off and die an agonising death you pond scum".

Although maybe I've lost touch with the kids since I was a teen and now they actually find that patronising **** funny.

No wonder the girl won't go to the kitch, the mom is such an annoying person. When I see that ad I want the girl to smack the mom and tell her to grow up

I still don't think that's as bad as that woman in the It's 4 Women ad who says:
"I wanna thank my daughter,because she keeps me....AWE-SOOOOME!!

What's the idea of that anyway?Tis almost tryin to say that the other insurance companies are only for men.

That is a really annoying ad.
Another one is that as where some lady goes Anything for you cupcake, I think it was an ad for hotels.
She had some kind of weird Newcastle/Birmingham accent.

Muahahaha

Well some good news is that last week I saw a new Its4Women insurance ad and it wasn't any of the annoying ones with those annoying bints with their contrived accents and stereotypes. So it looks like Katie Taylor and pals may finally be consigned to the advertising equivalent of the advertising scrapheap, here's hoping so anyway

Anyone notice the guy in the "Emma" ad bears a disturbing resemblence to Graham Dwyer?It was bad enough to begin with when they first started showing it about two years ago when no one had heard of him.

FrKurtFahrt

Nearly every Heineken ad I've seen over the past few years. The smugness of the 'lead' man in them - be it the Rugby ad, the Indian ad or the new ad (Paris?) would make you want to slap him, a lot.

Does anyone remember that Coke add during the noughties that featured a tonne of bottle caps and cans being opened in rhythm as part of a song?

Really random but I cant find any link at all and I remember as a kid I loved it! Think there wa s pair of lips made of bottletops in it haha
