    Has anyone mentioned the EDF energy one?

    What looks like three religious nutcases knock on the door of a woman, and when she sees the dancing sh*teball on a radio that they've brought, her first instinct is to laugh. Then she happily presents her personal details from her bill to these weirdos who then float off with them in a balloon.

    Somebody was on acid developing that.

    Hate that ad that's on before the news every night. Don't even know what it's for.

    Haha that Supermacs ad is a classic, when yer man appears in the background and says "Looks like another winner Pat", pure cringe.

    "How many of our competitors can say that?" Errr... say what? We sell sh1tty deep fried overpriced factory chicken that you need to be off your head on drink and/or drugs to stomach? I think that would be all of them Pat...

    That Supermacs ad about their new chicken burger. Great production values. Comical acting and directing. Looks like a comedy sketch.

    I finally saw it.

    It's better than the previous ad, and by better I mean worse.

    And he actually says "sangwedge" :eek: - I thought the previous poster was joking about this.

    Sean O'Brien must be getting a small fortune to be in those ads. At least I hope he is......

    That stupid 'fox' advert for Orchard Thieves Cider gets a sequel. It is just as bad as the first one. Worst ads I have ever seen.

    The maxol ad exploiting the little girl for the cuteness factor. Always wondered how child labour laws were exempt for acting, if you video kids working in a sweatshop for a year and say its for an ad do you get away with it?

    Everybody and their mother in the maxol appears to not only know yer man and his daughter and her name, but they are also well up on what happened at the under 7's girls football match that just finished.

    Child labour / exploitation my eye. The going rate for a few seconds for a kid in an ad is between €2,000 and €3,000. They rarely take more than a few hours of "work", and the kids are treated like royalty. The hardest part is getting through the meat market auditions with hundreds of kids turning up for a single part. The only exploiters are the parents.

    Small towns and villages in Ireland are represented well here. And you can be damned sure they know what's going on around them. You couldn't pick your nose in some places without the neighbours commenting on the colour and volume a few days later.

    All the Paddy Power ads for the Euros. Really cringey and unfunny, they make me so angry that I have to switch channels.

    If I were a gambler I wouldn't darken the door of a PP betting shop.

    In that Johnny's got you covered ad I've noticed when the girl kicks her shoe off she hits the lad around the heart area but he goes down clutching his balls, has he been watching too much Soccer or is he just not confident in his ability and is looking for any excuse not to go through with the deed.

    This may have already been mentioned..

    The one ad I cannot stand is the VHI add "If you're worried about your husband and your tiny babies"

    I want to punch her in the face.... sorry not sorry.

    Yeah, like I said, a having the craic thread, not a "taking every post seriously and dishing out unsolicited and highly judgmental parenting advice" thread.
