Its crap but still I thought it was an improvement on their previous Moon River ad with the woman taking the bus drivers hat and hitching a ride in a car. I hated that ad as it was all done on a computer using graphics and was completely fake. At least the current one has a couple of human beings in it, which is a vast improvement on their previous efforts where they didn't even bother employing a few actors.

Say Your Number

The girl in that Galaxy ad is Chanele McGuinness from Donegal, I haven't seen the ad so I can't comment on it, but she has a great voice.

FortySeven

The colgate whitening ad, the woman who has a face that is all teeth, grinning like a cheshire cat.

Totofan99

Don't know if this has been mentioned already... The Avonmore ad that comes on before and after the weather.

La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la

AAAAAAGGGGHHH!!

There's an ad running for some one of the a$$hole insurances at the moment, think it's Aviva, where it just keeps hopping from one scene to the next, after barely 1 second, of people doing stuff like setting off car alarms, hopping football off car, kids fighting in back seat of car, petrol pump counter, some lad listening to football match in car, some wan singing opera in her car, kids gurgling or crying etc., etc.

It's like an ad for people with attention deficit syndrome : "chirp > click > beepbeep > thump > clank > rev > goooooaallll > click > slurp > girglegurgle > waaah > luhllllaaaaaalllaaaalaaaaaaaaaawwww > honk > rev > try-it-now > line-of-bs-about-value "

I hate that $h1th€@d in the Oxendales ad. The same wagon who's in the laser eye surgery ad I think. So fake.

Who is she? She always announces herself like you're supposed to know who she is and care about what she thinks. She's always presented the way they would a supermodel aswell not someones grandmother. One of those "socialites" that the Independent chooses to raise up at random based on someone knowing someone no doubt...

Cookie jar. That ad makes my ears bleed.

The missus says she's Celia Holman Lee and is "famous" for, eh......, something or other.

One quick check of Wiki later............."Irish model, fashion stylist and television presenter" no less.

Too many last names, and too many job descriptions, for me to take any of them seriously.

I keep on thinking that's a road safety ad, and that it's going to end in a fiery crash, with someone telling us in a serious voice to keep our eyes on the road.

Another awful insurance ad. These ads go from bad to worse. Just waiting for the next No Nonsense nonsense ad!

The laser eye ad makes me laugh because in one scene she's on her iPhone and the screen is clearly calling someone but she keeps swiping at it like she's doing something else. Obviously she can't actually see what she's doing. :P

Well it doesn't help his case that he us the smuggest bastards around combined with the fact that he pretty much calls all his patients stupid and incapable of common sense.

McDonalds Curry ad, but this time with an Indian twist! And somehow more irritating than the original ad, which I thought would have been impossible.

Is she in the Oxendales ad for Downton Abbey too? Its a dreadful ad. Would never ever encourage me to do anything other than not shop using Oxendales.

Why was Tom 'he's new too' dropped from the Aero ad? Did he leave her because of that frilly black dress?

Could have been a few complaints.

Or maybe he just got a bit of a rash, and left
