Even more adverts you despise

Radio5

I love the Aldi Easter egg ad. So true to life, younger mother and her mother-in-law trying to score points. They try to do so ever so nicely and with false smiles and pleasantries cos the child is there. Of course the child knows the score exactly!

And somehow they remade the advert for the British and Irish market, but using different actors.

I saw the British version last night and it's even worse than the Irish version. Actors were awful.

the advert where the mother phones this squares girlfriend and she answers hey Roro, and the annoying mother says well hello shauna.

Yep. I've realised that the ads I dislike most are the ones with annoying music. The one with yer wan crucifying Follow You Follow Me being the worst offender.

If there is one company that is responsible for making ads hell its these feckers, year in and year out, more of the same bollox over and over. And just for the record you are not the Internet and all the wonderful things it offers, you are just a service provider, one of many. Your competitors offer the exact same "internet".

Their latest offering (sorry no youtube vid available at this time):

Its a bit of an oldie and mentioned here many times before but still no less annoying, the way she says "and he spun me around" enrages me!

Less an advert for a product, more an advert for a tv show- but the adverts for the 'Dara O'Briain Blockbusters'... cos that's what I'm calling it, are woeful.

Loads of Dara mugging for the camera, pulling 'funny' faces and making these awful jokes.

The show won't last a series-it's already doing 'celebrity blockbusters'. That's the sign a show is dead-when they bring on celebrities.

I was curious if a youtube vid for Grammarly would have a pre-ad also for Grammarly.
It did not.
Grammarly can still go and blow it out it's ass though!

Oh yes, Jamie. I wonder if Jamie wasn't the "really fit one" and was the "fat, ugly one" would her lapse in memory due to what I can only assume to be alcohol related reasons about whether or not she went beyond "just a snog" with him would be laughed off or a source of gossip to her work colleague.

You mean is JAmie a work colleague too? And did he go to HR afterwards to say a work colleague took advantage of him when he had a few drinks?

Yeah the whole 'I don't remember' quickly takes on a dark edge to it, tbh.

Maybe I'm taking it too seriously, but distracting the young, inexperienced driver beside you by messing about on his phone and calling people in his contacts is actually pretty dangerous and irresponsible.

If this appeared on a sketch show as a "taking the p*ss out of this type of ad", I'd think it was too far-fetched. But no, it's a real ad. Someone described that in a pitch meeting, and nobody told them "That's f*cking stupid". None of the actual famous people appearing in it said "You want me to do... what?"

How the hell did anyone, anywhere, ever make this ad?

The extended ads for Joe.ie film reviews before the trailers at Omniplex cinemas. The two bellends attempting a comedy act are about as funny as cancer.

It is indeed another terrible ad from AIB.
I think the boy's name is Lucius.
My family disagree. They think it's Lucas.

Yes I think it was Lucius also, Lucius and Kyle! It makes the ad even more annoying! I'd say she locks them in that room with the bed n slide just to get a bit of peace, little monkeys!.

Ive no idea if its been mentioned but i just cant stand the Three ireland advert where the mum runs into a pillar and then jumps a long with her kid, now thats not the worse part imo. Its the "song" they play, i hate it to a level of hating a song id never thought id get too.

ITV must have used the same person to promote some obscure quiz show that Chris Tarrant got involved with. (Note, the host didn't start helping until Jeremy Clarkson took over)

That song will be playing in the background of any nightmares I will have in future.

That specific tampon ad in which the girl says to a girl "Sugar, Aren't you meant to be on a diet?" really pisses me off and i wish some how he would just open the pack and embarass here for emptying her stupid tampon filled bag out onto the table in the first place. that and the bloody voiceover.

On these adds why do they always show the girls bum's sometimes on a bike or the one with the girl playing tennis they wait till her shirt is up a bit then zoom in on her bum:eek: not right.
