I get it, but it would have been more believable if she'd aimed a little lower than books and brain surgery for a 6 year old. If the kid was 15 it would make perfect sense!

maybe its a 'pop' with all these 'middle class' who have child prodigies (you know the 5 year olds that can play vivaldi on a piano at that age - whereas I can only play chopsticks! )

It is of course, but it's ridiculous, if they'd said stuff like "Plying the concert hall" and "trials for Man U" it would have made sense. Here's me, trying to make sense of Aldi ads. I need something to live for other than Fair City, ads and Pokemon Go, I think.

Wisely the MSM's advert featuring a man strutting down a street in hotpants and high heels received the most complaints in the UK for 2015, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has revealed. The Moneysupermarket.com ad attracted 1,513 complaints, with many viewers citing its "overtly distasteful sexual" content.

With a revenue of 281.7 million GBP (2015) the MSN' needs to try harder or hire a new Ad Agency.

Agreed! The ad was cack but they're a payday loans company likely charging extortionate rates of interest. I don't think the average punter is their target demographic. I'm disappointed that Patrick Stewart decided to collect a paycheck for doing their V-O work

Volkswagen Ads on the radio, "GmbH no less"- **** *&^ you g$%£. That Billy Elliot the musical ad also seriously pisses me off.

The standard of Beer ads in Ireland is also appalling, nothing about them would entice me to buy Heineken or Bud or Coors etc.

Also the Supermacs ads with Pet ( as he would call himself) McDonagh advertising his Chicken Sangwich with Sean O'Brien.

MoneySupermarket aren't loan sharks/Shylocks/a payday loan company, they're a price comparison site.

While you are probably correct I would never visit the website on principle after seeing the appalling ads they have.

There's an ad currently on Newstalk for the Make a Wish Foundation; a guy telling a story about how a load of princesses turned up at his house to surprise his sister. Its very manipulative but the most annoying part is the fake Dublin accent.

Check out the Radio forum, I'm in agreement though.

Stovepipe

The RTE ads about the TV licenses, especially the TV one with the girl enthusing about RTE in a "rindabite" accent...

Dickie10

why are all RTE Junior ads peformed by children with heavy Monaghan accents

I knew a girl who would say things in a similar enough voice as the very start of the ad. I took it to be imitating/taking the piss out of an american frat boy, a "USA, USA, I fcukin ROCK" type of eejit, who gets excited over the smallest thing.

Awake&Unafraid

That boots ad about the mothers and their babies...

"He's a little bit of eggzeemeeya on his chest"

Ugh!

McDonald's ad trying to cash in on the famous Fenton dog in Park viral video from few years back. So cringe

And then the bloody voice of guy doing voiceover.

I hate it I hate it I hate it!!!!!!!!

Grab All Association

Shown at least 3 times every single ******* night on Discovery/Quest/DMAX etc since 2005

Oh is that what that's about? I've never seen the video you mention, so it just seems like a really stupid pointless ad. All the more so if someone who gets the reference cringes watching it!

I don't know the voiceover either, but that's because I always mute the ads! A great habit that I picked up from my extremely wise father-in-law!

mansize

That fella that does the voiceover for 3 football... Headwecking

I want increase the advertising by naming the product but the one with the car convoy and all the green lights is getting to be annoying.

Reputable Rog

Road advertising this time, this is Cavan.ie. **** off Cavan your only a pass through place.

Awake&Unafraid

That Apache pizza ad is absolutely abysmal..literally so much cringe.

I also hate that katie Taylor and Jack Whitehall ad annoys the hell out of me.

I'm also getting a bit pissed off with the littering advert where everyone tears up their bill and throws it in the street. Who is clearing up the mess?

ButtersSuki

The latest in the increasingly appalling Kevin Bacon ads for some UK mobile provider. I honestly don't care how much money they're paying you Kevin, what price do you put on your dignity? You've now dressed up in the pleather one piece jump suit Britney wore in the "oops I did it again" video. Seriously? Wtf?

The ads I call the "nanny state" ads. Road safety, farm safety, food safety, Breastcheck. All very worthy, but I feel like I'm being treated like a halfwit.

OK just seen the New Heinz baked Bean advert where they want to teach you a new Baked Bean song ... hate it, bloody hate it already, triple hate it already!! :mad:

The RSA ads in particular. They're on nearly every ad break on Sky Sports. Yes; they're getting across a very important message re. texting while driving, being distracted by the rugrats in the back seats etc etc. But we don't need reminding every 15 or so minutes.

Another one that does my head in is that Maltesers ad, the one where the girl is dumping her boyfriend after seeing him kissing another girl. Her voice is like nails down a blackboard to me.

Those Lidl and Aldi "look how much we saved" ads are all tiresome but the one that fries my brain at the moment is the mammy prattling on at the freezer when three young lads appear stage right as if shoved there with a pointy stick and one says "ah, pizza" in the most unconvincing tone ever.
