    The Postcode Lottery ad for the fking annoying use of the song "Somebody's knocking on the door" and the bunch of scobies singing along to it.


    Tena Pants Discreet and Tampax/Always ads.

    Sorry, I'm a woman and all but I don't see the need to advertise such a product. Trust me, women know products like these exist.

    Sorry, but the RSA ads. Particularly the "Portarlington" one. Yes, they getting very worthy messages over, but how much is too much. Nearly every time you turn the telly on, the one featuring the family in Portarlington is on. Now I can't even pretend to imagine the daily nightmare they're living through. But, to my mind, the more often it's shown, the effect is diluted and people will tend to not take as much notice of it as they did when it was first shown (how many years now; 2 or 3?).

    No; maybe not "despise", but I tend to reach for the remote when they come on.

    I get his point, I also mute the ad or just change channel now. No offense directed at the family involved, but it’s a sort of sympathy fatigue when you see it come on for the 1000th time.

    Well, I sort of understood it with McIlroy, since his fiancee is American, and he spends so much time there...

    With the Axa advert, it seems more like she's trying to 'play' down her accent. Almost like she was told to, in order to appeal to casting agents.
    Like, Bronagh Gallaher sort of does the same on American interviews, but then over here she does the full Northern accent.

    That was the actual hair he had in the 90s-so the wig is the least embarassing hairstyle he's had.

    It was Jenny Falconer...

    And this was the guy who got to go on a date with her...

    That advert irritates the hell outta me. Any advert that does the 'You should have this, this, this and this' rather than 'life is an unpredictable rich tapestry where everything and anything can happen, good or bad' just irritates the frigging hell outta me.

    Saw that tonight. 100% agree.
    Their ads are beyond sh1te and I think they have 'excelled' themselves this time.

    The chewing gum ad where the parents catch a strange guy in their daughter's bedroom but all is forgiven because of his minty fresh breath.
    Pathetic attempt.

    Do you think rapists will use that now as a defense? Like someone commits rape, the guards catch em, and then they chew a minty fresh gum and say 'Hiya, I'm Bob the rapist'. Cue guards letting em go.
