Adverts you despise

My god. Every time that Vauxhall Zafira ad comes on with those two stupid fat English kids pretending they're all grown up + talking shíte in general, I just have to scramble around looking for the remote to turn the tv off or hit mute or something.

That hotel ad with the young bell boy being 'deflowered' by the older guest is a bit disturbing and in poor taste.

I just came here to post that but you beat me to it.

This is nothing to do with the handball but Thierry Henry is becoming one of the most annoying dickheads on TV.He's a smug ****er with absolutely zero like-ability, and honestly I don't understand why sky are paying him so much money for adding nothing of quality to their coverage and I'd imagine it's done nothing to boost their viewership either.

Yea. And I don't know if its very appropriate for the middle of a Sunday afternoon either during the half time of the Munster final, which was the last time I saw it.

Can't find the thread for ads we like, so this is in the wrong place. Apologies.

I love the Eircode ad. It could have been based on a friend of mine. When giving directions to anyone, he will go into long descripitive explanation and then say, "yep you're in the wrong place altogether"!

Okay, it's not as bad as the 'byebyebyebye' one, but it grates on me.

The Blue Insurance ad, put me off before I even looked them up.

With the annoying child's voice at the end, 'don't renew unless it's BLUE'. Ugh.

Or, you can get a mortgage to move away from these two clowns. You'll be happy to know your repayments are funding ads like this.

In the interest of fairness they should have a version where a rich old Baron instead of a Baroness drags a female teenage hotel worker into bed and deflowers her with loud thumping sounds, Im sure nothing would be said about it in the papers

Thought something like that happened in America a year or so ago, then he lost his job as baron of the purse strings of Europe, and all the papers were full of it. :rolleyes:

The new UPC missing dog ad. So the girl who was so in love with the guy she met in a coffee shop in the 3 advert, is now single (too many nights forgetting her keys?) got a parrot to make up for the loneliness.....
Ad is twee, but I guess it could be worse..

HotelsCombined with the white bear has to be the worst ad ever. I hate it, the bears voice creeps me the hell out....
