    The one with the Wayne Rooney lookalike being stalked by a cat.I don't even know what the fecking things for like with a lot of these irritating ads I don't wait to find out.

    That car ad with hanna ware saying that acting allows her to explore.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,272 ✭✭✭Barna77


    There's an ad, I don't even know what's trying to sell. I hate it

    A voice over is talking in rhyme, the likes of
    this is a geezer
    tweezer
    freezer
    or whatever

    bloody hell, it makes my blood boil

    Every Harvey Norman ad ever made. Every week they've a sale. Right now "it's the one, the only, THE BIG ONE", must end today but without fail they'll have another one next week. Liars!

    One of my favourite Stig introductions on Top Gear is along those lines.

    "Some say he bought a sofa in DFS when there wasn't a sale on."

    The Chivers jam ad with "Dod" and his lost keys.

    The brightest kitchen in the world. Yet another ad where the man is an eejit.

    The Knorr ad where they slowly and lovingly prepare the veggies by hand, and not in a massive factory.

    Agreed! Always makes me laugh! If you taste the soup it's about as far from tasting home made as it's possible to get and certainly doesn't taste chef made at all!

    Another One? Ah now, at least get the worth out of your old one.

    The one with family and friends calling round to see
    A. The pig. And
    B. The girlfriend.


    It's not great, is it?

    Perhaps they thought the girlfriend was a pig and wanted a gawk.

    The most annoying ads at the moment are all them bank and insurance ads. Like, they're on every second ad it seems! Apart from them that IKEA flying shirts ad is one I am beginning to dislike. But Orchard Thieves was the worst of them all and seems to be gone, even worse than No Nonsense and Backing Brave.

    Also, Bulmers/Magners makes better cider as well as better adverts - but then that isn't difficult. :o;)

    The Trivago ad where the woman explains what Trivago does and how to use the website, step by step.

    Better than the ones they used to have...

    No annoying hipsters/hipster music.

    These ads were probably made some time ago....
    That pig is probably dead....

    Enjoy your day! :D

    I'm hoping this campaign will grow into a new will they/wont they campaign like Nescafe in the 90s & Kerrygold /'horse to France' campaign in the naughties...

    The best culmination would be a wedding setting..... the pig is obviously the ring bearer, with a cushion strapped to his back.
    The add ends on a sour note though when the man dies of heart attack on the steps of the church because the old drauger looks like he is in his 70's.
    His 20-something bride consoles herself with the pig while watching Netflix....
    and it comes full circle.... fade to black.

    Yes, in the form of a Burger King ad. :mad:

    They still play that Haribo ad at earsplitting volume in IMC cinemas.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,771 ✭✭✭lertsnim


    That Apache Pizza ad really does annoy the **** out of me.
