    That video doesn't work or link for me. But yep, that Ryanair ad :(. The girl sticking her tongue out.. :confused:?

    Should be sorted now. Foil Arms and Hogs take on Ryanair. They are brilliant. 'Arms' is actually in the Mcdonnells curry ads which were mentioned previously

    Any ad containing the phrase "the ____ you love".

    I first heard it a few years ago in a Sky television ad, "the movies you love" I think it was, and found it instantly grating.
    It's been used many times since - "the food you love", "the shows you love", "the brands you love", etc.

    Presumably the idea is to aid potential consumers justifying to themselves spending their money on whatever product or service is being advertised. After all, spending a few quid on something you actually "love" seems quite reasonable :rolleyes:

    Whatever the reason behind it, it gets on my bloody nerves.

    That is such a crappy name for a restaurant. You might as well have a "Tojo's Sushi".

    Re: Mao..he makes it sound as if he's addicted to some kind of drug. "I'm mad for Mao".
    "Jesus I used to be addicted to Mao but I'm five years clean now".
    "She must be on Mao, she's as high as a kite".
    Stupid name for a restaurant.

    What happened Mary and the Pig? I'd rather see Beardyman & Mary in the field being saved by the pig. For anyone who's actually been chased by a bull there isn't a lot of time to go arsing around with a phone. I'm sorry the ad isn't more true to life.

    Don't think it's been mentioned yet, and apologies if it has, but the Irish Life ad that has that awful fool singing "I was scared of dentists and the dark" - that song really really grinds my gears. And it's on the radio ads constantly as well grrrrrrr

    I wouldn't be surprised if this thread sank it.

    I'm sure they read this out in the Leopardstown HQ.... advertising people have a lot of time to kill between coffee & cocaine breaks.

    I don't know which advert it is, but you are correct. Ray D'arcy (I think) was on the radio in my Mothers when I went to cut the grass, and they were talking about it, interviewed him last week apparently, and got him back tonight.
    Is that the vodafone advert?

    Detestable ad, the stupid look on his face at the end where he's trying to look impressed but the actor is completely talentless, drives me mental how long the camera lingers on his face there. I really despise Vodafone ads, they'll never get a cent from me.

    And it features Tiffany Chapman who played Rachel Jordache in Brookside.
    Even more reason to hate it.

    The infuriating nonsensical ad for Beagle Street.
    I don't understand why the dog wants to man to throw all his trousers away.
    What a random concept.

    I also hate the Ribena ad; it's stupid and I imagine it's how stoned people see the world.

    The ad for 118118 loans, especially the one featuring the couple and the red-haired one says "It's very stressful applying for a loan".
    She says it like a little girl in this squeaky voice that grinds my gears.
