The train set makes me want an old-fashioned train set, look on the bright side, at least yer man in the train ad doesn't have an annoying bogger accent

Is it just me or does anyone else think the "Roses - Hamper" ad is the most annoying ad on radio during Christmas. I hear that ad and die a little inside. It is so annoying and they dont think to change it. Please remove that ad off the face of the earth.

Mmmm, I might be over reacting

Nope. You are not over-reacting. I've been racing for the off button regularly since early November, when I first heard that sh!t. I hate the word "hamper" thanks to that ad!

I agree. What I really hate is them trying to brand themselves as "an old favourite" like they're an essential part of Christmas. I've never seen or heard of these yokes outside of the annoying adverts on the radio and it's beyond me why someone would buy the cards in the first place. If I ever bought scratch cards, I'd want the one that lets you get €20,000 or a spot on Winning Streak or whatever, Roses are a bit crap, and a hamper isn't particularly exciting either. It just seems to exist because it's apparently traditional in some way.

It's an ad for a washing up liquid. I think it's Percil but it might be Fairy or one of the other ones. Why are you so concerned?

because I wanna get it. I love it and I want to record it. but everytime I'm listening to the radio online and it comes up, i doesnt give enough time to record it.

I have one six little word for Twink.

Aye, Roses are crap now, they're not even made from real chocolate, it's some sort of soy stuff instead!

REALLY COW?

Now I dont know about you lot but that goat sounds EXACTLY and I mean EXACTLY like an over excited Roy Keane to me, infact I actually believe it is him,too much of a co-incidence.

The UNICEF ad:

"Awkward.com" ?

"Giftsers in hand" ?

Fcuk off.

Yeah I was going to post about that. Awful. She actually pronounces it wrong too - Orrrkward.

There is an ad for some sightloss crowd, with people saying things like "I can watch TV, with my ears", and "I can read a book, with my fingers".

No offense to people suffering from sight loss, but you could have some fun with that format if you wanted. Like "I can play the piano, with my teeth".

Under no circumstances will any of my hard earned cash ever end up in the tills of Apache Pizza as long as that bloody ad continues to pollute the airwaves.:mad:

'If your friend was having a heart attack, would you help them?"


What sort of a stupid fking question is that? No I wouldn't.

Say Your Number

The ad with that gob****e roaring stupid football chants.

"so I love shopping.ie!"

GO AWAY!!!

Craig Doyle and his UPC ads on Newstalk today.

I remember him bleating about the hard time he got in England when he started on BBC because he reckoned the English didn't want an Irishman fronting their sports show.

Perhaps, Craig, it was more the case that they didn't want a talentless, non-entity?

Desire to Aspire

The new Apache Pizza ad on Newstalk is very annoying.

Oh_Noes

"BlackandYellowBlackandYelllowBlackandYellow... I'm saying black and yellow so it will get stuck in your head, those are the colours of our company" Why don't you f*ck off and do something less crude than trying to jam your brand into someone's head. I don't even remember what the ad is for, just that there is some annoying twat trying to get something stuck in my head.

Also, the Elephant Storage "hotel for your goods". The voiceover guy sounds very annoying and why anyone would want a "hotel for their goods" is beyond me.

It's not one particular ad that makes me want to explode,but a whole slew of them on Nova,the ones using that eejit Courtney,he has the most annoying voice possible,just make it stop,someone tell him he's shiiiite..please:D

The new Non nonsense insurance ad, this time for house insurance.

"a sycamore tree,oh the devil's cabbage.In the first storm that tree will be wandering through your house like a leafy ogre".

Brilliant.

This new ad for Volkswagon annoys me. Some wagon (ah-ha) rings Volkswagon to tell them there’s been a misprint on their posters. In what parallel universe does this ad exist? To compound it’s annoyingness I think the woman is the same one who does the ad for TV licences “I told you to buy my lottery ticket when you went to the shops”; which is equally irritating.

Foxhound38

Stuck for stocking fillers? Christmas present crisis?

Something about his voice really ticks me off - especially when Newstalk just had to play it every few minutes.

[American accent]: "You go to Kildare village, you see that little black dress you've always wanted, it's 60% off! You try it on... it's fits! You ejaculate on the spot....."

Firstly, I don't go to Kildare village, because I have been there twice and both times I have established that there's nothing in it but sh1te.
Secondly there's a reason there's 60% off and that reason was addressed in my first point.

I hate those ads too. It sounds like they're really trying to cash in on the popularity of stuff like Desperate Housewives and Sex in The City by getting a voice actor who sounds like they belong in one of them. Seems to really stereotype women too.

There's that MIA advert as well. Why is there an Irish guy talking with a fake American accent in that? Do advertising agencies think we suddenly love Americans?

On a lighter note, my old nemesis, Eurocycles Eurobabies have changed their ways. The newest ad openly says that they were persuaded by friends, family and customers to not be annoying anymore. It's sort of an average ad now but at least I'm no longer smashing the radio in frustration.

neris

those new meteor ads where the people are meant to be making phone calls to friends abroad. the person makingt the phone call sounds like a stereo typical dumb ass backward culchie

neris

Those ads for eircoms music website are really ****ing annoying :mad::mad: two idiots speaking songs in posh/shakespere acting voices. make me cringe and want to smash the radio. Are voice artists really stcuk so bad for work now a days that they do this muck

DEFTLEFTHAND

Tilestyle ads making constant reference to their apperance on the Apprentice.

squonk

That ad encouraging you to visit your GP to help you quit smoking with the absolute tool singing some song starting with 'this is one I wrote for all you smokers our there'. God it could only possibly be worse if he did a crap Jay-Z impression. You'd almost have to take up smoking to calm yourself after hearing the ****e!

It makes me depressed.

Eircom are really annoying me this week. That pox Jim has a new mate Tim in his new ad. Eircom need a new advertising agency

Uncle Mclovin

The add for the new home nations tournament.

It begins with


"The stars are coming to town"


subsequently followed by the naming of these stars


"Darren Fletcher, Johnny Evans..... Haha. Just awful.

Those Joan Burton road accident ones were really creepy, I'm glad they stopped them.

That new Charleville Cheese ad with some old bag going on about some council meeting about cutting the crust off bread, really annoys me. Any one agree?

squonk

Nova have some awful ads. Most annoying is ome vacuous D4 bint yammering on about how she got her baps augmented in some clinic and about how their after op care was 'like, reee-aaa-llyyyy amazing!'. Talk about the Celtic Tiger being alive and well in these people's minds. There'd be medical grounds in some cases for reduction procedures. Sickening!

Absolutely! To make it worse, one of them has been adjusted according to political correctness, to exclude the word "n*gger".

The problem is, all I can think about when I hear that ad is that they've left out the n-word.

Which kind if defeats the whole purpose of the ad in the first place.

Just use a different bloody song you morons! :mad:

its just as annoying and stupid as their tv ad

Don't know about everybody but, Harvey Norman ads, the voice over does my fu*king head in with all that shouting he does.

Also those ads on "Diamond Living" or something. Just the cheesey little jingle!

"Hi, I'm Brenda Sweeny,

Have people heard the latest ads for Sunday World and Sunday Tribune?

Both with journalists with concerned voices stating how they will follow up what happened with Michaela Harte murder.

Sunday World claiming to reveal Mauritius' Dark Side and Sunday Tribune claiming to investigate question on "everyones lips, is the killer still out there?"

Find these both ridiculous and milking a tragic incident that can happen in any country.

A couple of years ago a Swiss teenage girl was murdered in Galway but did not mean that Ireland had a dark side.

Find both ads highly offensive as attempts to make money out of a tragedy before the victim is even buried!

"Hi, I'm Brenda Sweeny,
And I smoked for 21 years."

she reminds me of the car crash woman for some reason.
