Make Christmas with Dunnes Stores.

Don't buy your Christmas presents from us - just recycle the ones you were given previously.

Opel can shove their €99 per year "on start" sh*t up their backsides.... along with that kid.

"can't you afford an opel"?
Yes... yes I can... that's why I don't drive those sh*tty GMs.

Its such a blatantly desperate attempt on Opels part, "so you can't afford an Opel?", errr yeah I can you little sh1t, I can afford 10 Opels Id just rather buy a decent car...

The Aldi one, but only the Irish version.
The original features a woman singing a Christmas song in the tune of "A Few of my Favourite Things", but for Irish tv they've gotten an Irish woman to sing it.

You can really hear her "Irishness", especially when she sings "...crackers" and "cream". It's cringey and unnecessary.

The new Eir Christmas ad
'Sellin the ball the ball headin the ball the ball selli' - oh, it's the Billie Barrie Brats choir in their anoraks! What could be more festive!

Ha ha, brilliant, a few clips of the eucharistic Congress for the next one and begob we've the paddies bought...

Theres an RTE promo being played in every ad break at the minute for the Mario Rosenstock show and it has to be the lamest comedy they've ever produced "Would you like to see my willy Miriam?", cringe inducing sh1te. How long have RTE being doing comedies that seem to 90% rely on making fun of the culchie accent?

Theres an Ikea ad with a robot and 2 horrible puppet things aswell and goes on for so long, the robot makes about 4 attempts at flying then there's a long sequence showing it actually flying with ear-grating music and other shots, it must cost a fortune, I think they'd make more money if they showed you what you can actually buy in there rather than this arty marketing crap.

The emphasis she puts on "fayyyy-vourite things" is rage inducing.

Radio ad really pissing me off is one where a whiny kid says "hey daddy, want to hear what I learned at my first saxaphone lesson?"

ARGH

Strangle the child

The new Ikea ad. Weird, trippy music. A robot, a bat, and a chicken with a case of the mange. And this is meant to inspire me to buy furniture?

Fire that marketing exec now.

The McDonalds 'power of taste'.With people pulling faces while eating different foods (all real) and then a guy smiling while he bites into one of their sh1t burgers. And it goes 'taste matters' or something. I hate that ad.

Try telling them that honey, grapefruit, pesto, blue cheese and wasabi are all delicious and healthy, and their response will probably be something like this...

I have a theory about this. I saw the Littlewoods ad with their custom music and on the screen it says "Buy with Shazam now". The old eir ad with the same song, if one were to shazam it would get you the youtube video of the original band singing it. A marketing exec at Eir said "Hey, why dont we create oar own version of the song so itll be like, unique? And like, then people would like, buy oar product".

And then another marketing went "Oh mah gawd! Thats like totes amazing".

I don't mind him as much as the girl, who takes the teeniest bite off the end of a chip, and even still looks like she's struggling to eat it.

That is the actual worst ad ever.

Don't risk eating anything with a crazy flavour like...honey.

It makes me sad to think there might be even one fool out there who might take that "advice".

I've just seen the "Can't you afford an Opel?" ad. The dubbing is atrocious.

Unusual that they got an English accent to dub an Opel ad

Hello.ie where a kid is like a teacher to adults in a class

Radio5

Ford Kuga ad.

The dubbing of the fake "Dublin" accents into it is beyond awful.

Then there's the continuing infantilising of men implied by the storyline. A group of male friends, one of whom we are to presume has enough money and intelligence to buy a Kuga and yet they go off up the mountains for a camping trip without checking the weather forecast!!! Genius.

An Riabhach

"Khool khaair."
"Has it gawdd a smaartphone opp?"
"Buudd idd auddomoddicly calls for help if you crosh,riide?"
"Caan't you afford an Oewpel"?

Cannot stand that dubbed voice.

Ralf and Florian

The John Lewis ad,what message are they trying to send out,"Tell someone theyre loved this Christmas" yet banish them to the moon?

colm_mcm

That ad cost 7 million to make apparently.
