Saw that for the first time recently, and its one of the most annoying ads I have ever seen, it would certainly put me off Mc Donalds for life. :mad:

Dreadful ad, and while I'm here, what is it with the new system in McD's whereby you pay at one counter then you and twenty others gather around another counter, like cattle, with your number in hand, waiting for a single staff member to shout out your number and allow you to eat the food you payed for 15 minutes earlier, when did that start? Fupp sake, cut more corners, save more money, but god forbid they actually give a bit of service back to the customer. A joke.



Peely Peely me arse!

It's something when you despise an ad after only one viewing. That ad for ham that uses the Come out ye Black 'n Tans song is going to be a classic in it's awfulness.

Oh sweet Jaysis, what an earworm, I woke up on day 3 of it, swings legs outta de bed, before feet hit floor "come on and fight me like a ham",and so it goes for another 17 hours of hell before the sweet release of sleep once again. Nothing makes me reach for the remote quicker!

Most places outside Dublin, you can take a number from beside the touchscreen and sit down and they bring your order to you.

And it’s only just gone out of your head, then you watch that Alan Partridge/Martin Brennan clip not realising that there are rebel songs on it, and then boom, back it is in your head!

Donegal catch, we're fish people. I don't like fish so no appeal anyway, but realising she is a fish and is killing and processing her own kind for food and profit is just dark.

New Coca Cola advert...

'Let's all eat together'...

Uh, did anyone tell em you don't 'eat' Coca Cola-you drink it. It also shows people eating lots of food, but the darn Cola is only passively shown.

Really odd advert.

Those McDonald's adds before movies are just horrendous. We haven't made a good ad since that ad for the dude who came back to Ireland from the states - song went "I think I'm going back to the...... And I can play the game of Life...... Something something .80s ad.

That was for the ESB, kinda pointless as they had the monopoly at the time.

It wasn't just the ESB - it was also one of the earliest appearance of Alan Hughes on TV.
Aka that annoying camp gay fella on VM1's Ireland AM.

Same ad. Mammy putting on the immersion, cooking bread in the electric cooker, Hughes sneaking into the local for a sly pint before Daddy arrives in the Opel to bring him to the stix... Wasn't Ireland a grand place....(to leave).

Heading that way now, again, sadly...

Seems to happen every 10 years or so.

That patrona flexi van insurance ad on Today Fm does my nut in

That electric Ireland ad that basically has Moriarty saying "Don't bother shopping around, we are the best electric company"
Yeah, just taking your biased word for it instead of looking around for ourselves is clearly "smarter living"
Idiots.

RTÉ because... promos

The laughing one from first dates shows how bad that programme is

Then ... the victim needs a voice and ... she made the call are an obnoxious use of both people referenced.

I actually quite like that one. Didn't like the previous McDonnells ads but this one is not bad.

How'd he let himself in?

Just what I was asking myself. Have they given him a key, or do they leave their front door open all the time?

(I do kinda like the way she says "I thought they were brother and sister...... oh maybe they're not.)

Most annoying ad ever.. so many annoying things in the ad bug me.

- The fairrrrr play to ya quote
- the moves out of the old couple on the chair
- they dont even say thanks to the delivery guy

Just curious about when the delivery guys do come with your food do they put it away for you in your fridge etc? Wouldn't be having that

She used to be such a good looking woman, now she's got a face more plastic than Michelle Keegan.

The new coca cola advert is revolting

The KBC ad with the f*ckin eejits dancing around the place. There is something really creepy and unsettling about it, like a bad acid trip

I like it as you can customise the burgers on the screen, ask for extra pickles, mustard, ketchup, onions.

You always could but I did not like sounding like a fussy fecker doing that for eurosaver stuff. Also means it has to be made fresh rather than the ones stewing away a good while.


-not a tv ad but jaysus that Ben Dunne gym ad on the radio is woeful, it's like he is reading out a few notes he jotted down on a beer mat while pissed. "prices too hot to advertise"

Specifically Irish Adverts for smartphones (both iPhone and Android) where the living bejaysus is milked out of things like the main camera / secure access.

- When you look at genuine reviews for the same device on YouTube they are at best average and occassionally abysmal.

That ad for chewing gum where your man knocks on the daughter's bedroom door and she is inside with a guy. It seems to be on a lot again and I hate it.
