That poxy Sony Xperia ad...

'As imagined by Jack Ryan, aged 8'

Some whiney sounding little pre-pubescent prick going on about little robots running riot inside a phone. I hate him and his visions. He's not even fully convinced of his own scenario.

''Hmmm maybe there's 3 little robots... tiny, tiny little robots. There job is to make the phone work...''

Yeah?!?! Well maybe there's not you little smug sh1t!!!

Do they actually think we are going to believe those are his words? What 8 year old uses the word "device" to describe a phone or tv?

I really don't like those McDonald's ad's set in Dublin in the future (the year 2222 I believe :P ). Not only is the dialogue painful in these ad's but the inclusion of a holographic image of Eamon Dunphy's head makes me cringe everytime...."Give us a bite of that burger baby"

Those 48 mobile ads on the radio. Something about getting a milfs telephone number off the wall in the jacks. They're shockingly bad.

It gets more and more pretentious and crass everytime it airs... I want to punch the radio. I actually was considering joining 48, but boy are those ads doing a good job convininvcing me otherwise.

Are Harvey bleedin' Norman still around? I remember reading about some Aussie whinging about the fact that it hadn't made its numbers in Ireland and they were going to pull out and coming here was the worst move they'd ever made and it's so not bloody fair dinkum that people stopped spending money in his shop during the worst recession in years.

GO HARVEY GO!! Please. Preferably far away......

And can somebody, "creative" or otherwise, explain to me what's the deal with all the horses in the Budweiser ads?

Are they admitting their beer tastes like horse piss?

That's what it says to me.

I'm sticking with the Guinness. And not just because some of their ads are good.

For me at the minute it's the new ad for IMC Cinemas in Tallaght on the radio. Really bad voice impression of Batman, "In that case I'll have popcorn", that line makes me want to strangle the guy!! :mad:

Pupito

That Bord Bia one where the man is trying to impress the woman by rustling up some supper, he cooks fish, she doesn't notice what's being cooked (cooked fish SMELLS) and mentions she doesn't like fish. So he makes poser beans on toast.

She must have been sitting there for over five minutes with the fish smell wafting through the place (extractor fan was not in use), but she tells him about her not liking fish just as he's about to serve it. I wouldn't be calling her again.

Budweiser use emotional advertising, the horses stand for power and strength, and the shooting style gives them a respectable feel, like they should be respected like a wise, older member of society.
Budweiser is a well recognised brand so they no longer need to tell people about the product per say, now they are focusing on maintaining relationships with its consumers through the use of emotions.
People often consider horses as majestic beings, and seeing 8 horses pulling the brewery cart makes it all the more 'magical'. And it gives a nostalgia feel and tells the viewers subconscious that Budweiser is a traditional, old beer that must be respected.

There ya go!
Who says my advertising degree never came in handy :pac:

Everyone interprets advertisements differently, advertisers want to reach their target audience, you probably arn't their target audience :cool:

I hated Dairylea cheese ads so much when I was a kid that I boycotted it for life. I found them extremely patronising to me as a kid and particulary sexist to boys.

Shredded wheat with all the grannies in the factory, it sounds like she says "we give housewives a bit of willy".
A cheap ploy to sell more shredded wheat to bored housewives no doubt

Uggghhhh, this from Burger King. I don't know what annoys me more, the stupid sound he makes or his ugly gormless punchable face........:mad:

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for me to buy an Angus XT burger, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you STOP making stupid ads now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

The health insurance with the one going about 'what worked for Kiovvvehawaaaaa' and 'when yurrrrrr worried about yur tiny baaaaaaaaaaabies'.



Makes me violent.

Jesus Wept

Also the one with Liv Tyler, awful. That music, no. It ought to be a tampon ad really, it's in the same style.

Galwayguy35

I think it's a meteor advert where the guy is getting this sister to translate Spanish to impress a woman on holiday. And it turns out she is English.

Plumpynutt

That fcuking yodeling ad on Radio 1. I have no idea what its for, but my god i get murderous when it comes on

The operatic 'Go Compare' ads really got on my man tits, seems the ad was on every time ATR took a break ffs!

Those 3 Irish football team ads are the worst I have ever seen.

I love the no nonsense adds.

So...much...douchebaggery.

First, the clichéd girl-nagging-the-guy scene (though in fairness, it's not like it's his fault he has a small penis).
American fratboy then proceeds to regale the quaint locals with tales about said small penis, before the ad ends with this entitled douchebag apparently about to start a fight with a minimum-wage Russian waiter just for taking his almost-empty glass, which he gets back anyway.

Sadly, this ad only perpetuates the myths about Heineken drinkers.

I hate that ad as well. He could also have gotten out any of the train stations between Paris and Moscow and headed back, would've saved him an awful amount of time

foxyboxer

The Coke ad for the Olympics with Mark Ronson and the Athletes.

I'm pretty sure if you are a regular drinker of coke then competing in the Olympics is the last thing you'll be doing.

How?

The King of Moo

The ads for Dublin Bus, with the doofus talking about his car's horsepower, and the D4 girl getting a taxi, if I recall correctly.

I hate negative advertising like that: "Man, cars and taxis are really crap, and look at these annoying idiots who use them!! Are YOU an annoying idiot too!!??"

I also hate that they give the annoying guy a speech impediment (I don't know how to describe it exactly, but it gives his "s's" a raspy, spitty sound), as though to say "Look at this eejit with his stupid car, he talks funny! Do you want people to think you talk funny!!??"

I would love to see a counter ad. At the start a person is standing in the cold rain waiting for the bus which arrives late with the bus driver is a huge ahole and wont give back change. You have to decide were to sit near the PJ wans, the head to ball or the junkies and get the nice smell of piss/bo and hash.

oh wait

cant stand the go conqure ads have they makers ever been out in ireland

taxus_baccata

That new Tesco ad is driving me nuts, the one with the stupid "from small things good things grow*" song. Is that even a proper song or is it a jingle? And that big I on products does that actually mean that the products are fully Irish or just packaged here?

*may not be actual lyrics.

JohnMarston

Im not sure, as regards ads though:

the onedirect.ie ad is infintely times more annoying, i need to hit the mute button when i see it.

The boots 3 for 2 advert, i never miss

That is all

That stupid specsavers ad on the radio where the grandchild is playing I spy with his grandmother. He says something beginning with e while you can hear an elephant in the background his grandmother still can't guess and they say that she needs to go to specsavers. What she should get is a hearing aid :rolleyes:

That tune in the new Bose speakers ad caught my ear. I really like it.

That God-awful Seanie Mac.com ad.Probably the most baffling,cringeworthy thing on the box in a long time.

Archeron

The ad for Corsadyl with the sexy girl missing a tooth has the best slogan ever for a product. Corsadyl, for people who drip blood when they brush their teeth.
Catchy!!

Cadburys heroes... 'the thing to bring when you're told don't bring a thing'
that has to be the worst tag line I've heard in years.
Nobody would invite you over and say 'don't bring a thing' and the psycho look on your ones face when she said it :eek:
When they arrived and handed her the box of chocolates I half expected her to start beating them around the head with it screaming at them 'I TOLD YOU NOT TO BRING A ****ING THING'
