A simple change of the word from "mud" to "blood", and an imagined flash of lightning outside the kitchen window really transform the ad. Try it next time you see it!

Couldn't think there for a minute but I knew there was another ad using a modified Queen song which bugged me. "Another one buys a Duster". Fup off!

Aldi kids channel on the rugby. Wtf is going on with ads! Does it not cross their minds to maybe show some products or deals of the week etc

I know it's been mentioned loads of times, including by me, but here goes - the McVities ads with animals crawling out of biscuit packages. My stomach turns :mad:

Not exactly an "advert" as such, but those endless Super League promos currently running on Sky Sports, with Johnny Vegas. I've never got the appeal of him, to be honest. To me, he's about as funny as a fire in a dogs' home.

I notice that the singing canary is back again.
I used to like that ad,now I hate it.

The Avonmore ads that run each side of the weather. Women prancing around the kitchen having a little dance before eating the cereal. WTF !

The new one. Is there actually a parent in the country that would take such pure pleasure in knowing their daughter was back at home in the pissing rain not having left her enough money for grub. Call social services asap.

....I sold your guitar..... Me arse.

I can't remember the ad, but the man doing the voice over says "punk-shoo-all" instead of punctual. What kind of gibberish is he speaking?

That crappy heinz beans ad banging the tins with the most uncatchy tune ever thankfully disappeared. This old article says it was banned.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/see-heinz-baked-beans-ad-9316273

After receiving nine complaints about the footage, the Advertising Standards Authority banned the advert amid concerns that people may hurt themselves by copying the actors and using the sharp edge of the tin to tap out songs.

They must be popular, because they've been going for three years now.

There was even this Christmas ad:

I see a growing trend in referring to Ireland's obsession with the weather in recent ads.

Avonmore proclaim that "our weather may not be super, but our milk is". Because we all know weather effects our dairy consumption.

And there is a lotto ad at the moment with a family on holiday somewhere foreign when the dad announces that "the weather is terrible back home" much to the delight of his wife and son (the son even lets out a "yeeesss" with a little fist pump). As if news of rain back home somehow enhances a holiday paid for by a lottery win.

In fact, I am fairly sure that recurring lotto ad of the fella that buys an island for Ireland references some Irish cliches in the original version, among which is two ould fellas greeting with "poweful day ain't it" or words to that effect.

Don't know why the apparent fad bugs me so much. It just does.

Dopes.

Not a telly advert but a radio one, as it sets my teeth on edge. I listen to a lot of UK radio and those British Gas adverts are horrendous, with a character called Wilbur in them that turns out to be a penguin!

The train ad, "ah sure you'd be a fool not to", his voice doesn't match his age or look.

They remind me of those nodding dogs you used to see in cars.

The Boots ad about the one Teacher school and the importance of taking fizzy vitamins.

Where the Teacher says "I'm very conscious of becoming sick."

The way she pronounces 'sick' as in si-kuh just irritates the fúcking hell out of me every time. :mad::mad::mad:

Actually, thats not a lotto ad, its for the same annoying series of annoying Avonmore milk ads.

No, it doesnt make any sense to me either.

There is an AIB mortgage ad that I would be nice if it wasn't so smug. Husband and wife talking about them moving into their dream house years ago. The wife seems to repeat "I knew we'd make it work".

To add further insult to injury, you just know their entire mortgage back in 1984 was probably less than the deposit I will need for a house when I go to buy one.

I wasn't a fan of the ad, but it being banned amid a grand total of 9 complaints due to concerns people might injure themselves tapping on a tin can just annoys me more than the add did. You'd have to have a lot of time on your hands and be a little bit special to complain about that advert for health and safety reasons, and you'd have to be more than a little special to take those concerns on board.

The one for KBC bank with the hipsters dancing. Disgusting.

Mace adverts are always terrible but the new one with the demented smiley face customers is a new low

optogirl

all bank ads - stop telling us that you're just chomping at the bit to give us money for our dream homes, artisan cup cake & moustache wax shops & insurance for our Penny Farthings. And all with that style of narration where the voiceover person is SO sincere they can barely strangle the words out....Brave is...etc

Its 2017 and the banks have learned their lessons, its not about looks, its about having the 10% deposit.
