Adverts you despise

that new Low-Low advert with the girls dancing to Kids In America. not only has it ruined a good song, but it's made me never want to go out again for fear of meeting these women.

and the voiceover... "love ish... live ish..." grrrrr

The new Vodafone one with the kazoo crap. Trying to be trendy? Load of knobheads

Diving Board · 07-05-2010 10:55pm

Vodafone Kazoos...clearly done by the same morons that did the knitting...Xmas snow ...carol singing...Smuggy McSmugg driving around Ireland in his classic Citroen catching up with his loser mates. AAAAAgggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

whats the ad with the guy "he shoots/ he scores!"?! shocking.

the maybeline one using Magnum PI soundtrack.. complete mismatch i doubt the target audience know wtf its from. the lucozade ad w/ music that copies Supergrass' "Rush Hour Soul".. damn the video for that song is great. didn't even chart - any non-irish ad dubbed over with irish accents

should be adverts you're fond of, but the thread would surely die

Nice rant in the Guardian tv guide today about Dan,his wine and his "Character".

KnifeWRENCH · 08-05-2010 4:03pm

That smug bitch from the Glade ads deserves a slap in the face with a wet fish.

Is there an Adverts you love thread?

I LOVE the George Hook for Sky+ ad!! It's the best ad ever!!!!

"pause, answer the door, how are you? Lovely weather, confident in the knowledge ... etc etc!!" Tiz brilliant!! he he, he's so enthusiastic about it, love it!

On adverts you despise, I still hate that stupid Lucy Kennedy Bord Gais ad, that dumb Avonmore ad with the idiot guy drinking the milk out of the glass, oh and to top 'em all off - supersavvyme.com or .ie or whatever it is - I HATE THAT FRIKKIN AD THE MOST!!! It's so god damn offensive, for women who want to be savvier? Piss off!

Effin Big Switch ads...I'd rather not make the switch if i'm literally thinking 'ah Jaysus that switch on the side of me house is an eyesore!'

I also have it instilled in my head now that when Lucy Kennedy knocks on the door she is calling yer man sandwiches - 'Ah Sandwiches!'

Suspiria79 · 13-05-2010 4:46pm

Carla?? Carla the blonde??? The intern, Carla??? Yeah yeah yeah

el diablo · 15-05-2010 11:29pm

The Spar ad where the special needs chap puts the prices tags on the floor. That's crap.

Beanntraigheach · 16-05-2010 3:20am

Ads featuring the song "Here Come the Girls" - insufferable.

Those ads with that prat of prats Jamie Oliver cooking sausages.

"I'm lovin' it" Are you lovin' diabetes too, lard-ass?

plein de force · 16-05-2010 4:50pm

i'd love to give that guy on the wimax advert a whack to the head with his guitar
it's so annoying

Kersmash · 16-05-2010 6:41pm

that diet coke one with all the puppets is terrifying.

Mikosyko · 17-05-2010 2:52pm

All laser eye surgery ads.

The one i hate the most is that guy who obviously won some Olympic medals for rowing.

"Stroke of genius...." :rolleyes:
"They deserve a medal..." :rolleyes:

One of the things I hate most about one of those ads is that they describe themselves as Ireland's best (or favourite) laser eye surgery and in small print on the bottom, they say based on number of surgeries done. lol not even number of satisfied customers or successful surgeries... just sheer bulk.

UnknownSpecies · 17-05-2010 3:16pm

Loads of ads i really hate...
1. The Go Compare ad with the fat opera singer...gets muted every time
2. 123.ie ad with that stupid gameshow shíte actually just makes me go mad
3. The new Diet Coke ad with the stupid lookinn puppets, makes no sense whatsoever, actually ad every diet coke ad along with it, they are not funny..
4. The new 3 mobile ad when yer wan talks to the tv about the gut cheating, i just think theres something weird about it and i dont like listening to it!
5. The Seat car ad with Shakira singing and there are mermaids and stuff swimming around, and you have literally no idea what the ad is actually for until the very last second, the cars drive out, just a stupid ad really
6. Gaviscon "what a feeling" ads, absolutely hate them
7. Along with half the country, I hate the Meteor ads with those smug looking bástards
8. Laser eye surgery ad with that tool "I notice girls noticing me", what a plank

anyway, glad i got that out

Shane10 · 17-05-2010 3:31pm

Carlos_Ray · 18-05-2010 5:28pm

"My dear old mam in her eighties, used to come around for a cup of tea. Now she comes around to use my circulation booster (giggle)"

Stupid bitch should just buy her mother one.

Bigal87 · 24-05-2010 4:43pm

I don't think it is a D4 accent is sound English too me but yes it is a very annoying ad nearly as bad as that girl a few years back doing her New Years Resolution.
