Adverts you despise

flazio

Just seen this new Leap card advert and in it they bring up a map of Ireland to show what cities you can use the card in, only it looks like Galway is where Westport should be, Limerick is where Galway should be and Dublin encompasses pretty much all of County Louth.

Nearly all of them are a pain in the arse these days. So much so, that I just hit the mute button when they come on.

But, some you can't escape, like that feckin Virgin advert announcing their takeover of UPC.

Christ on a bike... :mad:

Sarcastic dentist guy "well are you still using the toothpaste"

"Nope I'll start using it again, along with changing to a new dentist thank you very much".

OldNotWIse

"What noise does mummy's car make?"

"duh duh duh duh duh, duh duh duh duh duh"

What sort of a sound is duh duh duh duh duh? And what kind of a stupid question is that anyway?

I HATE that guy! I posted about this before. If you listen closely you will hear him say, "say" before almost every sentence.

"My clients tells me he still has sensitive teeth. Say...Well are you still using Sensodyne? Say no....Say...well you need to keep using it" etc. :mad: Listen closely next time and think if me!

Maybe he is saying "So" like that freaking awful habit that has sprung up relTively recently.

"Tell us how you got started in this business"?

"So I got an idea... "


Boils my urine Big Time, I say, BIG TIME.

That Heineken add with the nob getting the coin to the ref , very time he bumps into Lomu I want him to go into a rage and tear his left arm off him and beat him to death with it.

And who thinks "why are there no funny online videos about spreadsheets?" According to that ad that is what business people are thinking about - a bit insulting to our business people I think!

It's a radio advertisement but Eurocycles Eurobaby ad has to be the worst thing in the world.

The cartoon UPC ad over summer with a hedgehog on a skateboard used to drive me up the wall also.

Meteor extra ads!

Really hate that Nissan ad!!

There's a VHI healthcare advert where the guy is on about breaking his finger playing hockey.
That guy really sickens my hole.
So much so that I'd love to break everyone of his poxy fingers.:mad:

I fcuking detest those ads. I probably wouldn't mind if I saw it only once a day but twice on every fcuking ad break on Sky.

Electric Ireland prepay ad. The father/husband is portrayed like a big eejit in the shower with the suds on his face. Yet another ad where the man is an imbecile.

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!

Me too! The poor orangutan is so alone in the ad. I don't get it at all.

Also the first time I saw it I thought SSE were announcing they were doing something to conserve rainforests/help orangutans... but they don't appear to be? What's the link between the two?!

That jam ad where the father cant find his keys is so weird, "Not like your keys dad!", theres something really off-putting about it, definitely does not make me want to buy jam.

delaad

Don't really despise this one, but can't get it out of my head that SHUSHLAHUNGA is not a promo for TG4's latest Weknowgooddramaweshowgooddrama.

The new Opel ads are so badly dubbed it's as if they can't be arsed anymore.
The Ethihad airways one with the rugby ball"any truth about you and the supermodel" Jesus H Christ all the millions they have is that the best they can come up with?

take everything

I think i read somewhere that it was some "creative's" depiction of what it would feel like to experience electricity for the first time.

Utterly uninspired and with no intelligence to it.

Pathetic.

The Barclays life skills ads that are on English tv. Absolute headwreckers the lot of them

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...

Uh-oh, looks like they've increased it to every ad break now, the smug look she gives the camera after she serves them... Did the marketing people really think they could sell working in McDonalds this way?
