Pet pig interrupts an elderly man trying to score with his 2-3 decade younger lady companion.

Just a regular day in Ireland.

Only thinking yesterday about this myself, awful!

That national lottery one with the fat-arsed dude in the camouflage outfit has surfaced again.

Annoys me big time.

Not to mention the gobsh1te meditating on top of a mountain. "But you CAN check your numbers?".

Muahahaha

I normally like Specsavers ads. They're funny and witty and usually get a laugh.

But that Specsavers ad with the fitness instructor going into the old folks home has been running for what feels like a good three years. I laughed out loud the first time saw it just because of the shock value of elderly people and the dancing moves. But three years on and perhaps hundreds of views later it really needs to be canned.

Not sure if it's showing on Irish telly yet, but there's a new Specsavers ad out with John Cleese recreating the Fawlty Towers scene where he's beating his car with a branch.

The new Vodafone pig add where he brings a woman around, he's so offputting, like he's a junkie or something.

Head on him like a hollowed out turnip.

Looks more like a goon who would more used to World of Warcraft or something rather than entertaining some poor female.

Creepy gimp.:eek:

And yer one, "Hello Sue!", so disingenuous and ott, sounds like the way you say hello to a teddy bear when a child introduces it to you.

I saw this hideous ad in the cinema the other day


BOI or AIB - 2 hipster folk talking pukesvillngly about their trip to Finland which they got a loan from the bank for. There is nothing as boring as listening to 2 hipster folk going on about their holiday and showing us their holiday pics/film. It's horrendous and I am embarrassed for the hipster couple in it.

Saw it in the cinema last Sunday.It seems to go on forever and its about three quarters of the way in that we find out what its even for (AIB).I hate the smug laugh yer wan gives at the end.

Thargor

Does anyone actually secure a loan and go into debt just for a holiday? That just sounds incredibly stupid to me.

Creme Egg ads are always stupid though. They have about 9 months to come up with a decent ad, and they are always pathetic. They dont even need to put a lot of effort into it, just say "Creme Egg, on sale from the 5th of March".

I wouldn't say the "Here Today, Goo Tomorrow" ads were pathetic...

Yep, they've pretty much run it into the ground by now.

I prefer the sheepdog ad, anyway.

It's absolutely terrible, some things, in fact, everything that happened in the 70's should be left in the 70's:mad:

That ad is so wrong on so many levels (a) great idea having a pig in the gaff now that swine flu is on the loose again and (b) would the pig not be shyting all over the house.

Actually, piglets as pets are becoming bizarrely more common, apparently, despite the vast majority of animal welfare societies suggesting that their not suitable due to their specific needs.


Besides that, it's also clearly a sequel from the first advert in any case.

Say Your Number

The AIB ad featuring that precocious little bollox is back again

A more satisfactory conclusion to it would be if the old woman next door brings out the football then sticks a knife into it and then says 'If you try that again you'll be the one getting knifed, Understand? now f*ck off'

Netflix and swill.

Mr.Nice Guy

That ad for Drunk History on Comedy Central is doing my head in. And it's on all the time.

The Ad showing in the cinema by the financial institution with the hipster couple who took a loan out with the bank and went to somewhere like Iceland on their jollies. It goes on for hours.....

Yeah, any ad where hipsters intersect with banking is particularly odious. Worse again if it's not mercifully short.

I heard her screeching voice coming from another room, I thought it was that ad where the dumb man (yet again) who can't do diy was back.

Kind of makes you hope for another economic crash to wipe them out.
