the stupid irritating ocean spray ads where the two ugly birds are in the health centre/gym and usual sexual inneuendo at some male etc etc. When will the advertisers tire of these types of ads. They have been going on for last 20 yrs now....enuff.

There's a stupid ad running on some of the UK channels at the moment for HSA.

Low budget sock-puppet talking to a family. Does my head in.

gscully · 27-05-2009 12:49pm

The ads for 3:

Older one has some little twat called 'Bill' wearing a top hat and doing stupid things.

The newer one has the geeky boy who 'will always be a talker'. Fuxake!

Also, the ad for a dishwasher cleaning agent where the young lad tries to fit his scooter in. Nothing wrong with the video part, but the change in words to the jingle to accommodate 'scooter' grates on me!

...and a +1 to the George Hook ads. He reminds me of the 'paedophile' priests as referred to by Brendan Grace in Father Ted (New Jack City). Clown.

There is a new one now. :eek:

The ad for It's Just Lunch dating service.
SO BAD I don't even know where to begin.

tommyboy2222 · 28-05-2009 1:07am

I'me sure this must have mentioned already but I'm not reading back 82 pages!

The AIB or BOI ad where yer one goes "I was born in Terenure,I grew up in Terenure, I met my husband in Terenure, he gave me a Peggys Leg, I live in.... Terenure!!! "

Time to move out of your cul de sac luv !!

Seen a add this evening think it was for remmie gel or something them dressed up as spartans fighting a load of so-persians complete and utter rip and rubbish add.

Ciaran B · 30-05-2009 11:53am

I'm sure it's been mentioned but has anyone seen that ad that's currently showing in cinemas for that cold sore treatment? It's 2 lads in the toilets of a pub giving each other advice on how best to treat a cold sore. One says he has a cure that his granny told him which consists of rubbing salt and vinegar in your eye.

I can't decide if it's the worst ad I've seen this year or some kind of amazingness that's gone over my head.

That 4 Star Pizza ad with the father opening the doors and revealing the €19.95 deal to his family... only to have his wife nod approvingly and his kids get all excited!

Had that deal recently.. here's a couple of things I'd like to note:

1) The driver dropped our chicken dippers on the ground (they fell out of their box onto the ground) outside our house. he picked them, put them back in the box up and tried to convince us that "it was just really the box that fell"
2) We got a 1.25 litre bottle of Coke, not a 2 litre
3) Your pizza's taste like utter crap.. your base is thick and sickening and the toppings (especially chicken) taste cheap and rubbery.

They could learn a serious lesson from Dominos..

Those "Snack in the mouth" travesties really get on my tits...

Maybe I'm bad, but this ad annoys me soo much, I end up saying "I wish you'd ever go and die in Terenure ye annoying biatch". But I calm myself down by going on a shooting spree down the supermarket.

I know it's been mentioned, but that Volvic ad is truly repulsive: he has a "cheeky" sip?

It's not fcuking Jack Daniels you're sipping, you massive twat!

I'm never drinking water again, just in case it's Volvo!

Yes! I'm gonna forever mispronounce the brand name too!

Oh god this is fn awful and on heavy rotation too...could anyone explain wtf is the connection between the panda, fox's, and us mafia style gangster accents?

pauro 76 · 01-06-2009 12:10pm

The BT adverts in the uk with yer man from My Family and his boring girlfriend. The most tedious couple ever to feature in adverts. Are we meant to care? I don't care if they break up, get married etc all because of a home hub. Stupid advert.

Bigal87 · 01-06-2009 2:38pm

Does anyone else think that those new t-mobile ads are awful?
You know with all those idiots singing to Hey Jude.

Really really hate those numbskulls. T-mobile ads in general suck. Hate the Phones4U adverts over here too, they actually seem to mock the afflicted.

Bigal87 · 01-06-2009 6:59pm

What is up with that stupid new oasis ad too?
The most random piece of crap ever.

Podman · 07-06-2009 2:23am

I hate the ads that start off all grey and depressing, then come along to save your life with their crappy colours and s**t music, urg.

Podman · 07-06-2009 2:33am

Also, the ads for scrotillium, and any pain relief or multivitamin tablets, my stomach doesn't look like that! a shopping bag? a balloon? no thanks.

Barry Scott seems to have quietened down in recent ads I noticed.
