Worst/Best Radio Ads

neris

Christmas ads - its the first week of November and already the 2nd week of ads

Bellerstring

Don't know what the ad is for, but it starts of with an organ grinder playing "Morning has Broken" as an alarm as some pretend sleepy cow says "Barry, Barry, turn off your alarm...."
I never got any further than that.

Ad currently on Newstalk about generic medicine from Clonmel Healthcare or somesuch.
But it has this ubiquitous oul wan with a voice that goes thru ya informing us
"I trust my kids, I trust my doctor, I trust Clonmel healthcare"
" Ask you're doctor for generic medicine from Clonmel...."

"Ask me bollix"

Oh and for good measure, this needs to be revisited.
It's almost 2 months on the air now, and this woman is not getting any easier on the ear!!!!

I f*cking hate that "PROSTATE - There I said it" add ...


STFU , or i'll stick the radio up your f*cking prostate !!!

Sugarlumps

Every single one of them.

My God the latest ad on WLRfm pretending to do the "Xfactor" show whereby they criticize all the other stations in the latest Jnlrs.What pompous nonsense, they themselves are a pathetic station with amateur presenters and cringe adverts, not to mention (I just did:p) all the silent spots among other mistakes they make.

Yeah I know thats what adverts do, blow their own trumpets, but they have bad points too.So when you hear this ad, spare a thought for me blowing a gasket with steam coming out my ears:D

Super Valu
" I always buy (titter) Free Range Eggs...."
WTF is so funny about that????
And "I like my steaks cut...ehm,... a little...ehm.. thicker"
Oh, it's soooo uncomfortably hard to say that isn't it?:mad:

That one with the mobile alarm going of for MacDonalds breakfast menu .... seriously I just want to smash the radio and the f*cking actors in that one...

That cycle shop ad "our prices can't be bet" is an affront to the ears. I'll refuse to buy anything from them out of principle.

Eurocycles Eurobabies prices can't be bea'
For bicycles and things with wheels and stuff for babies, yeh



In fairness to them, Eurocycles have a long track record of deliberately crap ads to grab attention

Yeah I know and I remember reading how deliberate mistakes can be used to make the ad particularly rememberable. It just means I'll remember not to shop there in future.

This time of year usually sees the return of the much maligned 'Goat' from Bothair. Has anyone heard him yet?

Not so far this year. Does "he" still expect to provide a whole village with milk?

I like the cheesey mobile alarm "Morning has broken" midi. I just have to switch over however just before "Borry, Borry, turn off your olorm"

PopePalpatine

Thanks Lemsip for encouraging me to look at your competitors. The woman in the ad has that same overly-sweet condescending tone which reminds me of Dolores Umbridge from the Harry Potter books, or some Iona wanker.

The main issue I noticed with that ad was it suggesting you needed to use Lemsip if you "had sinuses". Last time I checked I always had sinuses.

And it's in every single add break too. So annoying. I especially hate the one with the 'loooodicris' plan to smuggle the kitten into an art gallery. What the hell is that all about?

Heard an Ad on 4fm encouraging us to get our home heating oil from Cora Boyle.

The Aviva 'Metalhead' ad - 'if you loves me metul like I's loves me metul'.

Somebody please PM me the contact details of the individual members for whoever is responsible for this ad, so I can punch them square in the face.

I've sure it's mean mentioned loads of time but Jesus Christ I hate the McDonald's breakfast ad with phone alarm!!! And even worse they want me to hate it, they want me to remember it. CURSE YOU MCDONALD'S!!!!!!

Tiler Durden

Even you mentioning it there put the tune in my head, you bastard...

Jason Todd

I have to say, I've laughed at the Axa ad where the guy assumes a parachute will open on his skydive but it's going to be a plastic bag because he went for the cheaper package! I'm sure I'll be sick of it this time next week though.

"I can't add for peanuts" - that definitely won't help, but you are having trouble with subtracting (and percentages).

Was does he pronounce Nadia Forde and Brian Murray the way he does? Is there something wrong with him?

I agree.Usually I hate all ads with a deep passion and as soon as I hear one that annoys me I make frantic stabs at the radio to change station.
This one is different , just strikes a cord with me and I actually have a little smile to myself when I hear it.

I thought that was Ian Guider.

It was the "Tanks a tausand" bit at the end made my mind up...

It is by far the most annoying ad on the radio. I have to switch stations when it's on- I know it's only a minute or so but I just can't handle it.

Who even says things like this? Needs to eat his own faeces??! This is clearly someone who is already in the business and is a very jealous unsuccessful sob case or hasn't a breeze about pantos/comedic performances! Bore off you bore!

Touché. I mightn't know much about panto but I know a brutal ad when I hear it. Besides it was a joke - if your that easily riled by it your in the wrong forum.

I understand if the ad wasn't your cup of tea and you want to make a joke about it, that's grand, we all have, but telling someone to eat their own **** is just simply grotesque!

I'm ok with it for now but I suspect that Des Kelly ad will gradually get on my nerves as time passes...

"OK, We're going to the cinema. We're going to buy food and popcorn from the guy in they funny hat. Let's do this!!!"
So, let me understand this.....if you go out and buy a brand new car for nearly 20 grand your going to be able to afford to go to the cinema because you have just SAVED MONEY!!!
How does that work...?

Oh and this will not be popular but has to be said.
Micheal o Muiriheirteaigh stepped down from broadcasting in 2010 or something. Us non-GAA lovers breathed a sigh of relief.
But since then, he's on every Movember & Blind charity ad on the radio assaulting the eardrums.
