Didn't realise that ad was still playing. I emailed them to complain about it and, to their credit, they actually replied. As you might expect, they "didn't intend to cause any offence" and apologised if they had done so.

The ad really is repugnant and how anyone approved it is hard to credit.

For anyone else who would like to submit feedback:

Agreed. It was discussed a few months ago, it's awful...

I really hope Dad dies soon so I can get my inheritance. My Celtic Tiger lifestyle means I’m too busy to deal with his issues.

Seriously, are Eircom setting out to have the most irritating ads on the planet?

Hate it. That kind of crap shouldn't be allowed on air. Does anyone regulate this sh¡t?

I think it is one of the worst ads ever. I would be afraid to get into one of their cabs after that. Everytime it is on all I can think of is

When ure looting clonsilla or just a south side villa
If ure on the run or going up to de joy
If ure going robbin or a tourist boppin
get off that roof, roide with us
get off that rap, roide with us
Scumbag Scumbag Scumbag

And then next ad break they are targetting the business market with the "have you got a number for a taxi, oh I wouldnt use them" ad. I think its a case of a creative ad company being let run wild.

el diablo · 31-08-2012 7:17pm

The McDonald's ad where some chick almost has an orgasm talking about a manky McDonald's chicken wrap. :rolleyes:

I really hate the today fm hotel break getaway ad, after he realizes that she wants to go on holiday and not end the relationship he then says THE most annoying thing ever on the airways, "me likey, me likey very much" if I was with anyone who said that trust me I would be going on my own. Stupid talk, arrrrrgghhhhh

PopePalpatine · 02-09-2012 4:20pm

Anyone remember Husqvarna Chainsaws? I honestly think the man doing the voiceover has his jaw wired shut.

thats the gardner guy from the mooney show. dermot i think. sounds like a speech impedement or lisp in fairness to him

dulpit · 04-09-2012 5:09pm

Anyone hear an ad with Paul Galvin in it for some school book sales site? Bit random, sounds like it cost about a tenner to make, and strange that he's advertising a school book site with his history of teaching...

That is a bad ad on so many levels.

Whatever gimp currently advertising Lionel Ritchie and Jesus Christ Superstar whilst doing an impression of Darkplace's Dr. Rick Dagless MD needs to be strung up. I thought fake American accents were bad!

I wouldn't trust someone who talks like that to SURVIVE a weekend on their own. They'd probably kill themselves with a toaster.

Ciaran_B · 05-09-2012 1:18pm

Lets print again like we did last Summer
Lets wow the boss then collect the dry cleaning

I’ve no idea what is being advertised in this ad. I do know the woman singing it is an absolute crow. Terrible stuff.

I didn't even know those were the words but yes, this one is really bad. It doesn't help that I always seem to hear it in the morning.

This one almost moves me to tears of anger every morning. Have to rip off my headphones as soon as I hear her voice 'Cmon lets print again' Oh jebus.

Doodah7 · 06-09-2012 8:53am

What the fook with the new Lyons Tea ad: 'would you like to see me in a see-through teddy nightdress Master Blender?' after drinking 'pillow talk' infused tea????

And at 7.30 in the morning too!!

The Paul Galvin radio sounds like it was made by a Transition year class,old codgers like me can remember Pearl and Dean adverts that ran in cinemas,this is even worse than their creations.

And as for the Xmas chestnut of the man who buys himself a train set before telling his long suffering wife to "put on the kettle" so he can drink a cup of Barry's tea. Aaaaaaaaaagggggggggggghhhhhhhhh. make it herself you self centred gob****e.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 08-09-2012 4:37am

Some husky voiced broad who does the opening ads to the breakfast show on NT. It's actually quite amusing, Noostalk.

FBD win again -the latest one with some 'ruaridl' (I can't decide whether it's a genuine or a p1sstake) accent with its premuim and car values in "yohewero".

neris · 12-09-2012 5:54pm

some ad for baby milk with the stuck up bitch telling us we know well that she breast fed her baby.

The worst part is the start - she says "again". They hired her for TWO ads?! :eek:

I agree with you on the Paul Galvin ad but that Christmas (note: not Xmas) ad for Barry's Tea is sacrosanct. Yes, it's cheesey and sacarine, but it signals the start of the festive season when you hear it for the first time.

Ciaran_B · 12-09-2012 9:47pm

Just when you thought the ads for Micks Garage couldn't get any worse along comes one advertising a promotion for the month of July. Unless they're advertising this 10 months in advance........

Unsure if it's already been posted but - the 1820 20 20 cabs ads. The first one they had was al-right, but their new one sounds like a 10 year old produced it on an electronic keyboard!

JonathanAnon · 15-09-2012 3:41pm

In stereotypical "old woman" voice..

Yes, for Blackrock Clinic. What kind of Sunday Emergency would warrant a visit I wonder. Hit in the eye with a champagne cork?

Belvita Breakfast Biscuits. Ridiculous product, worse ad.

The way she says 'Belvita Breakfast Biscuits' with "her mouth full" just gets on my nerves like you wouldn't believe. :mad::mad::mad:

It ruins christmas for me every year.

Those fecking Micheal O'Muircheartaigh Super Value all-Ireland ads are back on every single ad-break at the moment. I've stopped listening to the radio for fear of hearing them.

MJ23 · 20-09-2012 10:59am

The ad for McDonalds breakfast where yer mans alarm is going off for about 30 seconds. I have only heard it twice and already hate it.
Any of those ads done in skobie Dublin accent, Micks gaddage, taxi company's with stupid songs.

dulpit · 20-09-2012 11:14am

I heard a semi-Christmas ad today for Kube kitchens (don't forget - that's Kube with a 'k'), not cool...

Diving Board · 20-09-2012 12:03pm

"Flirty smiles, cheeky smiles, loving smiles.....yada yada yada, terms and conditions apply"
I have no idea what this advert is for but the womans fake schoolgirly voice really turns me off the advert :mad:

Yeah, that ad where yer man talks about all the trouble they caused the last time, and he's referring to the Vikings :rolleyes:

Bloody awful, and what really annoys me is that your woman says "get over it, it was 1,500 years ago". If they had thought for just one second and remembered their 6th-standard history, they'd know it was more like a thousand years ago! Does nobody check this sort of thing?

all adds for leopardstown Inn - not only are they rubbish but how can a pub afford so much advertising.
