    The 'we buy any car from 50 pound to 100,000 grand' one.
    The 'cash my gold' with Dale Winton.
    Any Sex and the City promos on Comedy Central
    The cheeky volvic one
    Lucy Kennedy and the big switch
    The advert with the teenager moaning about being mental.
    would the big switches on the side of the houses not bring down their value? :P
    they'd look so horrible on houses. it's why i haven't switched to bord gais energy :D

    The laser eye surgery ones, "I definitely notice girls noticing me more, I would because I can see." You f*cking legend... Of course it has nothing to do with the fact that you have the face of a 4 year old.

    Girls notice him alright but only so they can pity the beady eyed freak. Oh but I think Padraig Harrington's new one is by the far the most pathetic, surely all he wants is for his voice to break nevermind better eyesight.

    Thread clearly inspired by that "Cheeky Volvic" c*nt.

    Before him the common enemy seemed to be the carol singing bellend off the meteor ad.

    Before him maybe the kid who wants to poo at Paul's.

    Do any ads or characters from ads just piss you off for no reason? I have had to stop myself throwing the remote at the TV for all of the above :mad:

    Hahaha. Great examples, especially that Meteor ad. I hated that smug, simpering bastard. They have a new one out and it's again, appalling. A terrible depiction of a house party with 'cool' kids. Galling.

    There's one out at the moment advertising Discover Ireland or summat like that - not so much the ad, but the song.. there's some whiney girl on it singing quite an irritating song.."And you laughed at me, why?... I want to go I want to get away from everyone...just for a while.." [sic] - The feeling is mutual, you terrible whiney cnut!

    I hate any advert that, instead of simply trying to shill me the product, delights in setting up patronising as ****, impossible scenarios.

    Like 123.IE having there own gameshow. A ****ing gameshow. With the questions all based around insurance, of course.

    Then there are those adverts that are just criminally explicit in their attempts to woo you. Like that ****ing Febreze one with the ~GENERIC DIRTY TEEN! Who sprays some Febreze around his room, and when the girl comes in, she loves it.

    COZ FEBREZE MAKES U SEXY!

    Insurance ads that have phones with wheels scooting about the place.
    What is that about?!
    And then to ad to it in more recent updates of this nonsense they've given the wheeled up phone and little companion - a fnuking computer mouse with wheels!

    There's a horribly dubbed just for men ad where the father is pushed to go to an interview by his daughter insisting that his chances of a job will increase considerably should he leave the house with a tie and a blackened bouffant..

    Anyway, the line at the end: "I think I'm gonna need [huge pause]...MORE TIES!"

    Not the worst, but I'm sure a cause of agitation to many.

    Ads would be a hell of a lot less annoying if they got straight to the point, and stopped patronising the audience....

    Insurance ads are pretty funny as there of people who made stupid mistakes or just fell on the ground and got a nice comp.

    Lucy Kennedy coming into people's houses and telling them to make the big switch................unless you're making me a sandwich you can Geeeeeerrrr out!! :pac:

    Ads for celebrity magazines (Closer, etc) make me die a little inside and vomit in my mouth.

    Comedy Central adverts, where do they get their music from? Tesco? They're always awful and make me go nuts.

    And here's a rarity, an enjoyable ad:

    As yes, the house party where 90% of the attendees are posting videos/photos/comments about the party on youtube or facebook. What a pathetic night out that would be!

    Ah yes, I enjoyed that one too. There are good one's out there, they just don't stick with you as long. Hmm, I've probably just given ammunition to advertising executives to make a plethora of sh*t ads.

    You know an ad's annoying when a second ad comes out apologizing for the first one. There was a famous ad for sanitary towels, years ago, that featured a woman jumping out of a plane, screaming "WOOAAA BODYFORM!" It's famous because it was so annoying.

    The next year's ad featured another woman watching the first ad on TV, then saying something like "if you wear Bodyform, you can do whatever you want... but you don't have to", before curling up on the couch. :o

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    This probably makes me a bad person but,

    The Trocaire starvation ad with the little baby... but it's just that fúcking song 'you'll remember me...'- fields of gold which drives me mental, I literally hear those words and the station has to be changed!

    I'd happily donate a few bob if they got rid of that ad.
