There's one for every note/chord, and are useful for tuning guitars mainly. Of course, you could just use a digital tuner, but some people prefer to use these. I'm surprised you've never heard of them. There popular enough. Once you hit it off something hard, the vibrations of the forks emit the sound of the note/chord.

So how many mentions so far for that feckin' Moneysupermarket advert with the two fellas having a dance off in an underground car park of all places- yer man in the hard hat and high viz and yer man with the Beyoncé arse and high heels combo.

Just die already. Baby, you are NOT worth it.

Annoying English guy in the ad with annoying English accent:
''can I have some hot water mate?''

'' McDonald's are bringing the authentic taste of new York to Ireland ''

take everything

I won't have a bad word said about the Lidl full ad. :P I attend French classes with the actress who plays the mother.
Very nice person.

At the end of the day these people are only actors and we are going way ott with the personal abuse. Attack the ad and not the actors.

Let cut out these kinds of attacks, please. Take the piss out of bad ads as much as you want, but these actors are just doing a job.

The latest Aldi ads where Dougal is out Dougaling himself.

Atlantic Dawn

New Mars ad for the Euros, wtf were they thinking having people coming across the sea in all types on contraptions with the current refugee/migrant crisis?

I don't despise it, more so find it mildly annoying - the Hidden Hearing ad.
What age group is that class being taught verb or adverb... Assuming they are adults, why doesn't the person who gives the correct answer say 'yes, that was what I said'.
I can understand why the guy thinks the other guy said 'New York' and not Majorca. And I have good hearing.

That new Domino's one with people grunting and making strange noises with weird effects around their mouths, doesn't entice to want to buy any of their products, instead it reminds me of that strange video for Black Hole Sun that Soundgarden had out in the nineties.

This advert gets on every nerve.
Doesn't remind me of the Black Hole Sun video (and now have the tune in my head ), but is a seriously cráp advert, done cráppily.

I have no idea of all the words that are or aren't censored, yep it was a 'just in case'. I did it without thinking.

piss is not censored but F*** is - when i grew up you werent allowed to say piss in my house was wee wee, or its raining outside, or look at him he is drunk, or he looks very angry ... : i guess piss these days is not swearing any more and can freely be used on tv before the 9pm watershed also ... most probably thanks to the americans

Some hot Woah-Tah!

Seem to be rerunning the AIB mortgage ads again with that annoying little Billie Barry so and so , the "is she diesel" line grates on me like nails on a black board and herself runs for the remote to mute it every time it comes on before I set off on one of my rants about what I'd like to do to the kid :pac:

Holy Christ I've just seen an ad for some menopause tablets with some oul'fella saying "Look at yer one, in the depths of winter!" and then his wife intrudes on the woman's personal space to give her menopause tablets.

Then it cuts to a woman at a desk telling us how she's overcome her sweating issues with these special pills.
It's so Oirish, twee and cringey.

That Supermacs ad, did he actually say SANGWICH.

in fairness the bloody vodafone advert with the pig (piggy sue) is getting like that, seen the advert so much I am beginning to think the bleedin' Pig is living at home with us and part of the family!! *

*does not make me want to buy Vodafone or a TV Box or any of their services any more by being bombarded with their ads... in fact it could even be having the opposite effect!!

And since it's an ad for hearing aids, why doesn't it have subtitles instead of voiceover?

The Muller ads.
A girl is on the beach and she's eating a yogurt.
Or a girl is in the park eating a yogurt.

Sorry, but I don't know anyone who decides they fancy a yogurt when they're at the beach and I certainly don't know anyone who's in Stephen's Green on a sunny Saturday thinking: "I really fancy a yogurt."
I certainly wouldn't consider carrying a yogurt around in my bag on a hot day.
Bloody stupid.

This advert,
It is just so cringe worthy and hard to listen to. Awful ads, that and the money supermarket ad with man with large arsh. I thought American ads were bad but UK ads are just the worst.
