Adverts you despise

Expose...its just one long ad ..

colm_mcm

Costcutter ad,
"Stock up on your treats for the big show" while waving a packet of taytos and smiling idiotically.

Brendan Bendar

That Dunnes stores ad, the one with the chinny ginger kernt in it.

blueser

That new ad for the Honda HRV, with the "dancers" (or whatever you want to call them) in the grey jackets and red shirts, doing carefully choreographed routines around the moving car. Pity the car doesn't hit one or ten of them! And that soundtrack; made for the mute button.

Shifty Shellshock

Really can't stand this. After seeing it on and off during the week you really grow to hate it. Those idiots in the crowd with their really stupid expressions. Cringing crap

Ticking and Bashing

1. Meteor's Christmas Limited, that ad is pointless...
2. Littlewoods ads (HATE the song)

blueser

The "just eat" ad, with that gobsh1te on the train and the old lady shushing him. If I was there, that phone would be getting inserted somewhere where he may not get good coverage.

Aldi's "Favourite things" ad is taking the absolute píss at this stage. Its like its played 2 or 3 times, on most adbreaks on all the Irish channels.

And the UK channels too, they must have paid out in the millions for them :mad:

The Eir ad. "Heading the ball, the ball".
Ahhhhhhllianz Insurance.

Hate these with a passion.

EDIT:
May as well add the badly dubbed Opel ad that everyone on the forum hates as well.

The red haired gentleman with the prominent chin, at a guess?

There's another awful ad for Orchard Thieves unfortunately!!

blueser

Too lazy to trawl through the whole thread, so this one may have already been nominated. Another example of poor dubbing in order to make the ad more "Irish".The KFC one from a few months back; "how much would you pay for this meal". If you can't be bothered to produce an authentic Irish ad for the Irish market, leave the original ad alone. We're not going to go all tear-y for Wolfe Tone, Pearse, Connolly, Davitt etc at the sound of an English accent.

That was Burger King actually.

You're right. What the hell was I thinking, putting KFC?

Liamario

The guy who does the narration for the TV3 show, 'The Joy'. He seems to be doing every advert going. I want to punch his voice so bloody hard. I want someone to make his voice a tangible, solid object, so I can punch it!

brian_7070

That add with Paul O Connel “Im Mary, Im jimmy” or whatever piss off.
That Carlsberg add were the guy pretends he knows Irish poetry but is coming out with random bits of Irish that we all learned in school. Pathetic attempt at humour just because we can associate with something doesn’t make it funny the amount of people I have heard say they love this add.

While that Mace ad with the cute red-haired one does a good job at showing how convenient it is to shop in their stores, I'm surely not the only one who gets a bit uneasy at the fellow customer who gives her an arrogant smirk when she drops something she picks up, and then bumps into her at the checkout.

STRANGER DANGER. STRANGER DANGER.

The guy behind the till is a bit too enthusastic about the whole thing as well. Off-putting.

YES! Smiley Mace Man, he's been known as in my house. He had a few lines there a few weeks back too, but he sounded very serious. The face on yer man when she drops the bottles on the floor, just want to slap him!

Perhaps Mace should sell mace. Just in case.

What can you expect from a franchise that had the sweaty-palmed, trouser-rubbing, leering eejit that is Brendan O'Connor advertising their shops?

blueser

That DID Electrical ad, with those little red, er, yokes.

Muahahaha

Yeah I love Aldi as a supermarket but their Xmas ads are out of control at this stage. Its on American levels, 2 ads per break and even if you switch channel its likely you'll see one on an ad break there too :mad:

That ad was on at least 8 or 9 years ago,is it back on again?

ProudDUB

I'm rapidly starting to despise the ads Eircom have commissioned for their fancy Dan Eir rebranding crap. That bloody "huma yer man, huma yer man..." Riverdance Lite music is just the worst. It's even more ridiculous, now that it features in their Chrismassy ad. The one with a bunch of Billy Barry type brats singing the bloody thing, when they are out carol singing. Yeah right, like I sang "Pennys, got a whole lotta things for Christmas...." when I was out carol singing at their age. Feckin' eegits ! :rolleyes:

BoJack Horseman

Eircom's attempts to seem more Irish than Peig Sayers, wearing an italia 90 Ireland jersey, dancing a jig on the roof of the GPO with a bodhrán & inflatible shamrock.... is indeed starting to grate.

Am I right in thinking Eircom is still owned by an australian hedge fund?
