    How unenthusiastic are they all about saving energy:confused: Not exactly motivating you to go look at the site.

    Has anyone seen an ad for some packet of seasoning that you put in a bag and shake chicken or whatever around in it? Some woman dancing around the kitchen shaking the bag with her sons watching her. Truly awful! Who makes this crap?

    I'm sure it's been mentioned, but that Woolite ad where everyone is in the nip is just WEIRD.

    Injury lawyers 4 U, especially the one with the stop motion dog, very creepy in the respect that this character is a greedy self interested creature that enjoys leaving other in penury. I just hate those ads in particular as its little to do with valid claims and more to do with getting money, it appeals to the worst in humanity.

    lol.. good one tommy..
    He's also the guard in Killinaskully... the ads are a bit unclear, (i.e. what exactly de-scrooged him)... not annoying, but not particularly good..

    Any aftershave or "fragrance for men:mad:" ad for the last ten years has been utter tripe. They usually feature some super stylish little ponce running and jumping around the place for some reason:confused:.

    I really dislike this ad. Sorry, I understand that it is a safety awareness campaign but I just think its a horror movie. The guy and the girl having a car crash into them on the road is absolutely horrible and while I say this I wonder did it ever happen, it possible has. I remember the other ad with a little boy playing in his back garden and saying how many times has a motor car crashed into the back garden, unfortunately a few weeks after saying that it did happen somewhere. But I think this ad is far more OTT than that one.

    Yeah I saw that subsequently... but I thought it was a bit confusing that there was no allusion to what exactly made him have a change of heart in the first ad.... It's a poorly scripted ad

    That shaking/dancing woman in the Knorr shake and bake or whatever ad is very familiar.

    Where have I seen her before?

    Sorry I looked back and saw Fidelma from Glenroe.

    Well Holy God!

    I came on to this forum to moan about that ad.

    She's Fidelma from Glenroe, the strumpet who rolled in the hay with Miley.

    I think that ad must have been story-boarded in the 80's. It's woeful. Unless they are deliberatley trying to evoke a nostalgic mood with the 80's vibe and Fidelma the Hussey

    must agree with others re; the harvey norman ads. dunno if ive ever been in one of this annoying cnts shops, but they are boycotted FOREVER. wont go there no matter the price difference. first class repetitive annoying loudmouth bellend.


    (said the same about the 123 insurance ad with the annoying little gameshow fker..jesus that ad was cheezier than the 80s..still with them)

    just thought of another one. the one where the creepy pedo in the shopping centre whispers to the camera 'we're here to see how people react to.... new ultrafresh colgate or whatever it is.
    oooh its so fresh, oh wonderful its solved all my problems, oh it cured my cancer and paid my mortgage etc etc.
    well if a random pedo in a shopping centre tells you put something in your mouth... you do it.

    That ad was based on the behavior of a real woman shortly before a bloody murder suicide.
