I think I may have a winner. The ad where some ponce is dancing down the stairs to "come up and see me" for Viagra.

I saw that a few weeks ago and actually could not believe it. This description has made me laugh again. Thanks for that.

I've had to google it again for the laugh. Awful Beardy weirdy with his navy socks on in the bed dad dancing around like s fool.

I'd be hiding that Viagra if he was in my house.

That's been there for a year or more-it made me laugh they were using the same song as the horrible 'Spar' ads.

Yeah well Beardy Weirdy would look better with an orange bobble head, but the dancing is equally grim!

Some of the Paddy Power stuff is utterly cringeworthy.

What a disgusting low rent company.

I see the Vodafone Christmas ad is back with that family. And the kid bopping away to the music he's listening to on his fancy headphones. Which would be great if it wasn't for the fact that the headphones are not actually plugged into anything.


And they're not bluetooth either, before you say!

That "bopping" is just so annoying. I hate it and yet watch him every time and get irate every time. It's just so crap and forced.

The eir advert is hilarious when you look at their facebook page. Things like 'been trying to get through to an engineer for five days, and nothing happening' as well as people posting screenshots from their phone showing the time they're stuck waiting for customer service (2 hours or so). One guy even noted 'went for a shower while waiting to talk to someone'.

Their service is abominable.

Muahahaha

I was an eir mobile customer for about 8 years up until recently. Paid by monthly direct debit on a sim only plan and never once contacted them for 8 years. Then I need to leave and cancel I spent over 2 hours on hold across 3 calls until I gave up and went to their shop to do it. Think someone posted here that they are bringing their call centre back under their operation and at the moment all they have is less than 10 staff answering calls for the whole country. You just cant get through to them. They are a complete joke.

Jesus.... My brother was trying to set up a landline with Eir, and getting nowhere after 2 weeks. He got onto Vodafone, and they should have the phone set up for him in about 4 or 5 days.

Eir is just a disaster. How the hell do you manage to make such an in-demand service into such a disaster?

You sell it to an investment consortium, and they "extract value" before selling it on again. Repeat a few times and the company is starved of investment, with a crappy service, unmotivated staff, and fewer and fewer customers.

Let's make possible, eh? :rolleyes:

I was gonna be mischievous and post that screaming brat ad for An Post Address Pal but after watching it again I couldn't do it. That video should be removed from the internet permanently by the Internet Court of Justice. Some poor soul could be tortured into giving up the launch codes with that ad it is so bad.

Instead, these guys in A and D Reclaim in the UK have done a skit of the John Lewis ad - Facebook, pinned post, not a bad job in fairness.

That Vodafone ad where the little kid does that horrible dab and the parents have those stupid smiles on their faces is the worst thing on tv, I cant believe they brought it back for another year, its actual torture, its so aggressively sh1t, Vodafone always do this but this one is on another level...

Nescafe are doing some weird crap with Natalie Dormer and George Clooney at the minute aswell but it doesnt make me genuinely angry like the VF ad.

VHI healthcare. "I'm a real hugger" What kinda slang is that? The accent doesn't help it.

I hate the Laya healthcare ad where they are rolling down a hill trying to talk and laugh and roll at the same time :mad: all I hear is a high pitched incoherent chorus of drivel. Instead of wasting money on this annoyance, they would do better to reduce their premiums.

'Boutique' lady products ad. I can't stand it. Why do they have to advertise those products? I just love sitting down after a long day with my mug of tea and switching on the telly to 'heavy flow'.

Heston and all them other eejit pretentious chefs looking for perfect christmas roast spuds -faffing about preboiling for exact times, shaking them up, scraping with a fork, using goose/duck/beef fat, salt flakes, rosemary, different temperatures and other nonsense.

Don't these morons know crisp n dry is the true secret! the stuff nobody has bought since the 80s

The likes of tesco should have a similar ad taking the piss as their cheapest veg oil is the same stuff, rapeseed oil.

Rapeseed oil is the tool of the devil. I've seen some places starting to cook with it instead of vegetable oil-and it has a nasty, distinct taste off of it.
I don't care if it's supposedly healthier, it tastes like crap.

Like if someone offered to cook you a fry-up, then took out the bottle of 1 percent 'I don't know what that emulsiony stuff is' and started cooking.
It's a crime.

This one from Ryanair has to be the most ridiculous one I have seen. Vouchers for Ryanair!
It would be used up in one go and you would still have to pay them extra haha!

that'd be worse than coal! that's the point, the ad is a pisstake. The girl is stroking the voucher like its a toy dog, the boy "flying it" like its a toy plane, the woman is wearing the voucher like a necklace, and the father has socks made out of vouchers.

I take it to be ripping the piss out of traditional presents and the usual tear inducing ads.

The party is grand-it's the notion that you'd be able to have all those phones working on an eir wifi network that's pure fiction.

You'd be lucky to be able to have one phone working on the eir wifi. It's disastrous.

Just seen this again. Isn't the old chap landing to the teenagers party a little....creepy? It's not even a public disco but a private party.

Out ya get saville...

Say Your Number

I get more of a 'how do you do, fellow kids' vibe off the ould fella in that Eir ad.
