Posts like this make me glad that there's a glitch in my Saorview box that means it can't pick up Irish channels. :pac:

I noticed that, not only is it headwrecking, it gets my feckin budgies all excited and has them yelling back at the TV, trying to get that bird to come hang out with them.

theres a new windows and doors advert for aluclad or something, two old pensioners probarbly in their 70s with extreme south county dublin accents are ranting on about how cold the house was last winter, the aul lad in a bid to sound somewhat working class comes out with "yeeeeaaaassss Baaaaawwwaltic so it was" Then he says "ah well at least we dont have anything to complain about this year" to which the wife, who sounds like the mother/wife from hell that my own ma always told me I was lucky i didnt have, says "Feet OFFthe table" and the aul lad in a bet down voice says in a big half teenage drawn out whine "Almost"

This ad must be for all the old pensioners rotten with money across ireland, theres very few who are actually not filthy rich, my own aul pair even say that and there not looney lefties, they say that pensioners should pay for some of the free services they get and give the squeezed middle a break. anyway i digress, but the aul lassie on the ad sounds very uppity, bossy and one of these liberal new "moms" of the early 1970s there quite annoying old people now, they are usually to be found in middle class south dublin suburbs or other upper middle class areas of towns and cities. You know the type , not at all afraid of random interviews or calling up joe duffy live on rte, if it was my aul ma she would either start laughing uncontrollably, cry or repeat the same word over and over.

Just stumbled across this thread and post today.

You need to get out more, preferably to school.

Those Lenny Henry Premier Inn ad's particularly the one where he says : "Mornings seem that little more wonderful after you've had a great nights sleep, Don't they?"

No they ****ing don't Lenny, mornings are only wonderful for people like yourself who don't have a real job to go to.

The Just Eat ad on Irish TV, with the guy on the Dart.. "No more chicken, I'll turn into a chicken!"... I like this one. The Just Eat ad on British TV, the "I need a Balti!" to the tune of "I Need a Hero"... can go away and die please.

There were three ads in a row tonight which made no sense to me.

Doritos roulette add. Creepy looking koala, weird looking rabbit. Guy bottles trying a spicy dorito and turns into a chicken. WTF?

"I just switched our energy provider", "Why?" "Because its cheaper". Most men would go "fine with me." Instead this guy gets haunted by a budgie and a cat and then goes "Oh, because its cheaper!". Again WTF?

As I type this, the Carrs crackers ad is on. "Sad desk lunchers? Eat this instead". Yeah but if she eats crackers at her desk, aside from being hungry 40 minutes later, is she still not a sad desk luncher?

Oh yeah the third annoying one from earlier. Two guys in a car. One goes "I think you have rabies, have you any foaming around the mouth?" At this point the other guy takes a sip from his skinny latte or whatever. WTF?

Those ads, and any ads clearly made in a different language then awkwardly dubbed into English (kinder are also culprits) creep me out. Secondary offenders are any company that makes an ad in an English accent then pointlessly dubs it into an Irish accent.

All involved can go die in a blender related face accident.

Panti Bliss ad for...a film? His voice is highly irritating.

Budweiser ad...something like "do it your way"...the bit that kills me it the Uriah Faber looking bloke in a white top doing a stupid arm dance.

I actually think that ad came from The States.

I hate most of McDonald's ads. That new one with your one riddled in tattoos. And the one with the Irish farmer walking about his fields while they talk about 100% Irish beef. Has anybody noticed that the fields are all empty? They don't want to show where their meat comes from. Or maybe they're all on their way to the slaughter house.

Then it falls into the second category. Face, meet blender.

The expression on face of the girl who comes in the door with him sums up how I feel about this dreadful ad.

Mr. I'm so "windswept and interesting" (to borrow a Billy Connolly expression) on the balcony near end of the ad annoys me even more than arm dance guy.

Don't despise this one,but even after many hearings, I'm still convinced its a TG4 promo for their latest (we know good drama, and we show good) drama,.....Shush la hunga, Shush la hunga

The Burger King "How much would you pay for this meal?" ads, they made me laugh, because they dubbed the accents of the guy with the food, the couple he talks to, but the black guy who comes flying out of Burger King to accost him - "Oi! Wot you two doing?"

Haven't read through this thread recently. I'm hoping that cringe inducing Ulster Bank mortgage ad has been mentioned numerous times.


Just given birth to triplets...... Let's talk about fixed interest rates.

The face on those 2 smug twits who've just had the children really drive me mad.

The line "any little surprises , financially speaking" seems to idiotically imply that she could give birth to triplets as a surprise without ever being informed by a doctor that she was pregnant with 3 children .

The way that Burger King employee came running out of the store was so awkward.

Its not getting a lot of playtime but has anyone seen a McDonalds ad where they want to give their (utterly bland and tasteless) wraps "street cred" so they get a girl with loads of eyeshadow and tatoos to make stupid faces at the camera while she puts the wrap together? Its the cringiest ad Ive seen in a long time, they imply that making chicken wraps is her passion and thats why she works there, other companies do it with tattoo parlours and that kind of thing but working in a McDonalds FFS?

Also no fast food place would allow that much makeup near the food, same for all the piercings and jewelry, same for no hairnet. They'd probably even tell her to cover up the tattoos...

And the cute cuddly background music.
We're talking about a huge financial undertaking where your house is at risk here.

The overacting kid with the dog.

And the lad at the end. 'I can live with that' strategically looking at the camera as he says it.














Blonde one would still get it though.

The SSE Airtricity ad with the orangutan at the fun fair. I just find it so depressing! It makes me really sad. Also kind of feels like a Christmas ad, which confuses me even more!
