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

I absolutely LOATHE the Knorr Shake and Bake ad. First, its really sexist - man sitting at head of table smirking, woman cooking, lads doing nothing to help and there not being any issue with it. Second, the smug laugh everyone has when the child makes a smart arse comment about his mother. Third, the stupid grinning expression the woman wears the whole way through. Hate hate hate it.

There is an English version of this ad; same story board but different actors. For some reason it's less cringe worthy than ours. Anyone else seen it?

Our one reminds me of the old ads for Dawn milk, Squeeze orange juice, and those stupid singing teddies for natural gas, I think. It screams eighties (maybe early 90s too).

Anyone else want to give a, give a, give a kick to the singers on the give a, give a, give a garmon ads?

Just as 1950's as the Irish one. It is just a cringe worthy just we can take a step back with English actors when they do something cringe worthy. At least they took the time to change the actors rather than just putting a few Irish makey up licence plate on display.

Awh yeah the Bord Gais teddies.

There's an ad on at the moment for some dude shaving while looking out the window. Once he starts shaving he randomly causes a shower to drench someone out on the street!

The thing is they all seem delighted to be soaked! If I was randomly drenched because of some smug git shaving, I wouldn't laugh about it while my convertable was getting ruined along with my mobile and ipod!

See the licence plates for this **** ad. I don't know which is more annoying the licence plates or the worst ad ever created. This wins out, for all of the ads mentioned on this thread IMO.

Couldn't agree with you more, especially about the superimposed Irish plates!

Grrrr, why did you have to remind us....the "50/50 cashback" ad with that incredibly annoying tune and those stupid bears. :mad:

Wonder did the 50/50 cashback refer to Bord Gais employees and the discounts they got in the 1980s?:rolleyes:

Don't be bring up other threads haha.

I suppose I was a child so I quiet liked that ad. Also its fairly well made bar the incredible annoying song.

cock robin

Everytime I see that Knorr add for shake and season with that ugly fcuking b1tch and her gobsh1te expression I cant help but wonder why oh! why anyone would get into advertising. The woman is a complete harpy I hate the sight of her on the TV. The only ray of light is that with any luck she will never act again and I wont have to look at her bandy fcuking face. Pure sh1te.

That southern comfort ad about New Orleans is awful, it hurts my brain.

Yeah, those toilet paper ads which tell you that you need the softest best paper for whiping shít from your ass. They usually involve something soft and cuddly trying to portray the toilet paper is also soft and cuddly. What the fúck are they all about?

Agree , last time I used a golden labrador puppy to wipe my arse both of us were totally disappointed with the whole experience :mad:

Very weird and very annoying.

And those of us who play Scrabble on Facebook now have to put up with it while waiting for the game to upload.

What the hell is Woolite anyway?
The ad is so annoying that I never really found out.

I won't be rushing out to buy the stuff what ever it is.
I'd rather keep my clothes on in this weather !

Isn't that ad a bit risky to be putting on before the watershed? :eek:

Not to mention the hairstyles.Like something from the Hacienda circa 1990.

TV3's app ad.

Our app has that

Have to say I hate this advert at the moment. This is the UK version of it, but the Irish one is exactly the same just with a different accent. I understand these are shock adverts for a reason, but does anyone else feel they are starting to get a little OTT in their attempts to drive the message home??

Hate that fecking song. I know someone who worked on that ad, but luckily for them it wasn't on the song, otherwise I'd have throttled them!

Also does anyone else hate that stupid "it's so important to make someone happy" rubbish with the kn0b jockeys skating in a conga down Grafton Street? Makes me want to puke!

Speedsie

The Beckham's ad where they are in a lift.

Leaves me cold.

That bloody vodafone christmas ad " make someone happy...." Didn't mind it at the start, but after enduring it around 210,000 times now, I wanna smash my tv when it comes on. Insta-channel switch.

I know how vodafone could make me happy, driving a bulldozer into their advertising department....
