The ad is bad enough without them repeating the 'C' word 3 times.
As if we didn't get the message first time round.

I heard it the other day as I was making a nice BLT for my lunch.
Needless to say I couldn't eat it after hearing that and my dog now thinks I made the fcuking sandwich for him. :mad:

It would take a lot more than that to keep me from me grub.There would want to be S*** on it for that to happen:D

ad on today fm with some looney who wrote a book and can claim to see fairys or angels or some weird stuff like that.

skimpydoo

That fecking ad on RTE radio 1 for the tv license. The one where the gob****e sings pay yourself. Wish he he would piss off he can't sing.

Bard

The 2FM ad for the Weekend Breakfast show with Baz and Lucy where Baz Hamsandwich attempts to "sing" makes me want to fling poo at the radio.

DEFTLEFTHAND

Hello boys and girls, Moochow , Leopold Bloom!!!!!

Dam Lottery ads.:mad:

MJ23

Liberdee Insurance - say hello to my fists. Fúcking annoying American accent

dulpit

Any ad where they whisper. You know, for a secret sale or something...

I'm looking at you Skoda & Harvey Normans... :mad:

It's a fantastic ad. Some get it. Some don't. It's funny in fairness.

That hideous Dublin Taxi rap on Radio Nova

"When yer out on de razz or goin tew yer maa's"
"Get off de bus, ge' with us, Get off de Daart, ge' with us!"

Who in Jesus decided that ad was radio worthy?

I believe it was "royde wid us!". I actually think that ad is in the realm of so bad it's funny though. I keep waiting for them to rhyme "DART" with "fart".

Is that the one where the woman goes into the chemist to get some medicine, sees her friend and gets all flustered and starts saying her husband is the constipated one? I found it weird that women know the brand name of the constipation pills off the top of their head and have to do all they can to make sure they aren't seen with them.

dulpit

There's an ad for a printer company (savio or something) that's not a managed print company, they use the existing hardware in place in companies.

It's structured as a chat between son and gombeen father, for some reason the dad has a dopey accent and it's cut together really bad. On newstalk a lot...

Ciaran_B

That bloody ad about the trail of germs (“Your knife, your table, your BABY”) is back. The woman on it has a voice even more annoying than Deirdre O’Kane and that takes some doing.

DEFTLEFTHAND

Has anyone ever used National Radio cabs? We were getting a taxi into Dub last week and I wouldn't use them on the sole basis of their advertising campaign.:D, I'd visions of the driver starting to rap and me standing trial for Murder.:D:D

neris

any newspaper advertising today for their "special" mahon report edition. as if we hadnt had enough.

just heard one journo advertising a special saying how he saw bertie climb to the top. i think we all saw that dipso.

MJ23

'Liberdee Insurance' is driving me nuts, it's even on the telly now.

cml387

Johnston Mooney and O'Brien's "historic moments".

If they had used original soundtracks of the historic moments (kennedy's visit, the popes visit,Houghton in Stuttgart etc) it would have been acceptable.

Instead some loon in a studio with fakey backing seems to have done them all. Mary Robinson is a particularly hideous standout.

All in all the worst ad ever to eminate from an advertising studio, and it's up against stiff competition.

baalthor

Anyone think the guy in the ad for remote video monitoring sounds like Bertie?

"Hey you the hoodie, get out of that yard ... what? - you'll cut me in if I point in the camera in the other direction ?"

Plus I love the way he makes the whole atmosphere seem amazing when its most likely United or Liverpool V Wigan.

You would pick this one.

I was there yesterday and the atmosphere was somewhat amazing at the final whistle.

For all the wrong reasons.

that fecking hurling all stars play ad is back on. sounds like a right pile of turf munching crap

Ad. also drives me up the wall, but we'd have to admit they've done a terrific job with the weather over the past few weeks it's hardly rained since they got the gig.

Genghis

The new ad for the supplier of HP proliant (or whetever it is) that involves a Sergeant shouting various 'commands' and some bubbly young thing chirping solutions. Not funny, not creative, not even relevant. Dire stuff.

L1011

iRadio's ads for what I can only imagine is their own classified ads website where its completely indistinct what the website's URL actually *is*

el diablo

Those Supervalu ads with that stupid ****ing "Say Hello" song. :mad::(:rolleyes:

If I could thank this post more I would.

It's on every 10 minutes on Newstalk/Sportstalk/Advertisingtalk.

That Vodafone ad is fierce annoying.

A: "What do you call a fear of clowns?"
B: "Hang on"

*lengthy instrumental segment with annoying keyboard sound effects*

Can't they condense this down a bit?

artful_codger

Bonjour...Supervalu...hee-haw hee-haw.

Who are you to resist it huh?

dulpit

Xtravision ad with that girl with her piggy bank is back... :mad:

pjordan

I came on here to see was there anyone else complaining about the 11890 ad. Fascinating to see that the intent was supposedly consciously to make it sound retro when what it actually achieves is complete irritation and a perception of incompetence about the company. It is so bad that for a good while I actually thought it was my radio reception. It's unbelieveable that any agency could actually pitch this concept as a good idea and get it taken up when what it projects is all negative

Going Forward

Anyone else hear the weather or something brought to you by SEMTEX masonry paint?????????????????? Mad:eek:

Imhof Tank

If they have ANY professional respect for the service they provide to their clients, the ad agency behind the new Berkley Court ad (located on the 'infamous' Lansdowne Road .....) Should summarily dismiss whoever on their staff was responsible for that gaffe.

johnny giles n eamon dunphy plugging some golf course, awful script and attempted jokes aside , its a pity to see mssr giles sinking so low.

So what? He gets a pile of money for 30 seconds work, can't say i blame him, I'd do the exact same myself.

When you think about it he was pretty unfortunate not to have been in the game 30 years later. He sadly missed the boat when it came to having millions of pounds thrown at him and other gifted footballers of his generation.

No problem with him making money he deserves it but that ad is soooo cringeworthy

Reamer Fanny

That bloody hireland ad, or the popcorn ad with people ranting and raving about how good popcorn is :mad:

NIMAN

There's one where some girl says "she looked absolutely stunning in DKNY" in it, and uses the word 'stunning' about 6 times, jesus thats gotta be the most annoying ever.

Haven't heard it, but it strikes me that it could very well be a new ad for Kildare Village (fabulous)

NIMAN

Thats it, heard it today. Jez, thats annoying.

mike65

Every ad break induces a mix of nausea and a headache right now.

eminoz

all the ads lately fall into "worse and worst" categories, most scoring well in the irritating, might-remember-the-product-but-will-never-never-buy-it stakes (my teeth still gnashing from 11890 ad).
Has anyone heard anything lately that's even mildly entertaining?
