    You know the denny ad, the one with the little girl on the pink bicycle. Aside from me not knowing what the child says, at the end of the ad the mother goes "Im tired after santy coming are you Paul(the dad)?" and he says yes. I always feel like shes about to say "So why dont mammy and daddy go back to bed for a half an hour, ;);) nudge nudge".

    Maybe advertising standards cut the last line.

    Unless she's tired after Santy (the dad carrying out Santa duty) cumming?

    The Kildare Village radio ads. They just seem to promote shallow materialistic lifestyles and the woman's voice is annoying.

    And the Head and Shoulders ad with Joe Hart. Can't stand it.

    Not so much an ad, but more of a voice over, the bloke ( i think!!!) that does the voiceovers for the three mobile ads and is now doing the voice over for RTE Sport, dear god, his whiny voice is annoying so much, like he's on the crest of waiting for his b*lls to drop,i hit the mute button when i hear his 12 year old voice wailing through the TV!!!!!

    Or that f**ing annoying voice that says *not thinking about us again*
    I think advertising companies just don't get it, piss people off and they'll remember us?
    I remembered to cancel my gas bill!!

    The song on the Dundrum Town Centre ad, on the radio.

    Who the f*ck picked that?!

    Don't listen to Irish radio or tv unless ads are forced on me through TV
    If I lived in another country I'd probably put my head in my hands if an Irish ad came on in a bar.

    The Bisto one, telling us to give a spare seat to an old person who'd normally eat alone.
    It's on every fcuking five minutes and I'm sick of the oul one sniffing the chicken like a carnivore.

    The panadol ad with the "girlzzzzzz" and the "Hi I'm Celia Holman Lee and I've had laser eye surgery...."

    I hate that other bisto ad, where your man is in the kitchen blabbin on about makin the dinner,
    While his 12 year old girlfriend is showin her mother their new baby.

    Johnston, Mooney & O'Brien have dusted off that nostalgiajerk ad.

    I see those Rachel and Steve ads are back again. I hadn't seen them for a while and thought they were gone for good.

    The only annoying thing about that ad is the fact that they shortened it. The longer one is far better. They all but ruined it by shortening it.

    Other than that I like it! :)

    Well at least you'd know not to eat the cake.. coz they're obviously two nutters lol

    Funny little ads though.

    Those BetVictor ads that were on a while baqck, with Paul Kaye. He used to be funny-ish (remember Dennis Pennis?). But those ads were painful to watch. And as for Victor Chandler himself; he's got the personality of a ping poll ball.

    There was a theme going for a while where named bookies would put themselves in the ad themselves (betfred) being the other one.
    Still better than Ray Winstone's gigantic noggin telling you to "have a bang off that" as they showed over inflated odds for a ridiculously unlikely outcome.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't upc / virgin media or whoever control the ads, programs, movies etc. via playlist management system.
    Everything is on file, they create the schedules for their weekly or daily playlist manager.

    Just because we're big? tiny lil people scattering around.
    I liked the style of animation for those ads.

    No the family with the nerdy DJ Son who looks about 24 and wants to attend a party with his Mum and Dad. It's all a bit remedial and weird.

    The older lady has been the best actor so far and she didn't speak :) Can't help feeling like the others sold them selves out a bit. If only the writer actually had a sense of humour, they might have worked.

    The man in the moon was a bit creepy too.

    Any predictions for worst advert in 2016? As in what they might be advertising?

    TV: Whoever thought the new Apache pizza song was a good idea needs to be shot with balls of their own ****e.

    Radio: That stupid VW (?) ad comparing their vans to the evolution of insects or some such ****e, someone trying to be too clever and just sounding stupid.


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,034 ✭✭✭✭Ash.J.Williams


    Sean O Brian shouldn't be advertising Supermacs especially shoving a burger in his gob. Same goes for Shane Byrne and his obese sausage world cup pizza....

    The song on the Dundrum Town Centre ad, on the radio.

    Who the f*ck picked that?!

    The same w@nker who picked it for the Kildare Village ad I think. I hate their ads. They had one about red shoes there at Christmas on the radio and the song in the background made it sound like it was for a charity. Found this instead when I went looking for the radio edit.

    Why arent there any funny online videos about spreadsheets?

    AAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!

    Generally switch stations when it comes on the radio.

    Cant even remember what its for but it is the most annoying drivel ever to assault my eardrums.

    With a special shout out to the VW vans ad mentioned in another post. Insects have 3 willies or something, Coincidence?

    Yes you twat its a coincidence!
