Adverts you despise

PopePalpatine

Blue Insurance have brought that annoying shouty kid onto TV now.

The Irish Rail ad where the narrator is mimicking a conversation between two lads who are asleep.

The Sun King

Any dubbed ad. There are a few awful ones out there. I imagine it's done for a pan-European audience but Jesus...

I actually like that ad!

Back on topic I see that godawful ad for Cadbury's Creme Eggs )the one where the bloke is getting ready to try to "seduce" a creme egg) is back. Terrible ad.

Stupid Weetabix ad with "talking" blueberries, insult to intelligence.

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.

havent seen them but I used to love strutter

There's two around at the moment, the San Miguel ad where none of the voices match the actors and a coffee one.
Christ they're bad.

Their ads have been offensive to me right from the start. I reckon they must be around over 10 years at this stage. Lots of different styles but universally rubbish.

Brilliant ad. Makes me laugh and remind me of how much I hated living in Dublin at the same time.

Nature Nurture Pet Store. The one on the radio with the two over enthusiastic girls encouraging you to 'Wander in and sniff us out'. Who writes this stuff?

I know the message is important but the chap who suffered brain damage after a drunken crash. Its the frequency that I hear " trust me,I know what I'm talking about" that drives me demented.

Exactly. It's a real ad, mistakes and all to hit home. I'd take that any day of the week over 99% of the fake, staged crap ads plastered all over TV.

I really think I hate all ads. Particularly radio ads. I will bitch slap the individual who came up with that recruitment one 'Deep sectoral knowledge and are highly networked'. Really just please stop.

One of the few useful and decent ads. I always feel sorry for the poor guy and you have to admire him for having the cajones to go on air for an ad relating his experiences. At the end of the day if what he's doing saves even one life then that has to be commended!

Woeful ads all these insurance ones are. Just as you think you've seen the worst one (e.g. the AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAlliance one or those bloody No Nonsense ones), an event worse one comes along.

Many in this thread have complained about shouty Barry Scott banging on about Cillit Bang.

Well it looks like Cillit Bang have finally listened and decided it was time for a complete change.

It's kind of awesome:

Can't stand the Barry's Tea ad with the Granny talking about her superstar granddaughter who holds her cup of tea with two hands.

blueser

I see those Meteor "extras" ads with "Jack" are back. FFS, I was hoping we'd seen the back of them.

fussyonion

The Just-Eat one with that girl shouting "I see you baby, chicken Madras!" and cringe-dancing.
Ugh, I want to punch her.

That clown shouting "curr-eee", as if a tin of yellow powder is going to magically transform a meal into an authentic Indian curry.

I just saw the ad you're on about there. God that's terrible. I wouldn't mind, but I loved their first ad. They had to go and ruin it though!

That Brendan bloke from Off the Rails showing us Italian leather, American wood and Brazilian coffee.
Nothing wrong with a bit of Irish mate.

Figured he'd be more interested in Italian wood, American wood and Brazilian wood.

Slam dunk.

I hate that radio advert where the precocious child says "This is no ordinary panto...it's a Gaiety panto". If that child is in it, I won't be attending
