Even more adverts you despise

the purple tin

Those arses at McDonalds have made an ad with a freaky looking walking happy meal hanging around with the Mr Men.
Is nothing sacred

The new Virgin Media ad with the woman shouting Hey Google is a pain in the hole. She sets off my nest speaker at home.

What was she in before? She’s very familiar.

That’s the one.

Johnny f'ing Sexton in Mace with that bint behind the Deli counter.

RabbleRouser2k

The Tea advert with the aspiring actress, where her sister turns up in America to visit her.

There's something really irritating and cloying about it. Like, I dunno what it is about adverts where you have someone trying to be the best actor/ singer/ artist/ writer etc.
You can always tell they're average, at best, but the ads (or film) is trying to make out they're AMAZING.

It's fake and cheesy. It doesn't help that the 'lead' in the advert is very cookie cutter looking. Nothing about her stands out as different.

With the rugby effectively over any chance these poxy ads could be pulled, particularly that one with the two Welsh twats spending the dead auld wan's money. I want to boot the telly every time it starts.

God you'd hope so, wouldn't you? Never mind Sexton's current performance would have you thinking 'Maybe Mace is the problem?'

I know its been mentioned before but i hate the virgin tv ad. That woman shouting COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE is the most irritating thing on tv.

Am I dreaming, or does Allianz have two versions of the tired, clichéd advert showing cycling as something for geeks who don't have cars - one referring to 'Aunt Sue' and one referring to 'Aunt Viv'?

This virus is going to be with us for a quite a while so we might be stuck with the current crop of ads we despise. And we'll only hate them more now because we'll be sitting in front of the TV for longer. I suppose some companies have some new ones already in the can. You just know Energia will fart out another one or two. Hopefully Dermot Bannon didn't get past frangipane. Christ, they might start the entire campaign again.

the purple tin

The lady who says 'I'm a stand-up comedian, so peeing myself is an occupational hazard...' What in blue blazes!

You should maybe make the audience pee themselves laughing, but why would she be peeing herself on stage?

I hate the cycling advert of a 'little more space for a lot more safe'

The actors come across as the type of cyclists that break red lights (because they don't drive a car) or cycle on the footpath when suits (again because they don't drive a car)

"They say your home is your castle. But what if it actually is...a castle?!?!"

Hangdogroad

That promo for something currently running on BBC where parents embarrass their children by breaking into dance routines. Most annoying of all is the fat Melissa McCarthy lookalike in her dressing gown throwing shapes.

Edit. It's for Zoe Balls radio show.

When did any comedian stay on stage for 2+ hours? Its usually 1 hour max and then an intermission. If she can't hold it for an hour, she needs to visit her doctor.

God, you're so right...I hate those type of people (because they don't drive cars, good people drive cars)

Yeah it annoys the **** out of me as well - especially the one on roads of 80kph. If the cyclists are 3 abreast (as they usually are) are we all supposed to drive in the central median to give them the required space? Complete bull****.

Her pronunciation of 'Castle' annoys me... is it me, or does she say it more like 'Cast- ell' with emphasis on the 'T'?

I wonder if it's cos yer wan is trying to hide her Cork accent, and it's tripping her up.

I'm delighted to say I've never seen any of these adverts - at all.
Stopped watching TV about 7 years ago and have not looked back.

Recently in a friends house I saw why - 20 minutes of adverts per hour on some channels - that's one third of viewing time.

'Eat them to defeat them' wtf were they on when they came up with this?

take everything

That ad about the London tube Irish serial killer.
God I can't stand its tone.
Surely many of the relatives of his victims are still are around and it comes across as insensitive and ghoulish

mistersifter

the new RTE ad.

They've gathered up the most annoying c*nts from the canteen to tell young people to isolate:

that horrible tit Eoghan McDermott and his fringe, the Kavanagh gob****e, Lottie Ryan looking like something out of the Adams family and the singer from Kodaline who takes himself oh so seriously.

You'd be hard pressed to put together a bigger collection of wánkers.

An ad that reminds you of what a terrible bloody place RTE is.

Didn't Eoghan self isolate 'so-well' he went off to Australia. Or at least he's meant to.

All I'm saying is I will gladly pay to get him to get outta here.

Lloydspharmacy advert....

It's not even good enough for a bad youtuber's channel from 2010... I mean, 'bird flu'... That hasn't been a thing since swine flu took over from it.

Just...terrible.

thats the one I've been looking for!!! should have known to search this thread....

That Esolief Duo ad, with the awful, AWFUL actors.

They sound like they're dubbed, though I suspect they're not. Weird stilted tone to the whole thing.

But we will still rave about US serial killer series on Netflix without caring about relatives.

Brilliant!

Couldn't agree me, more thoughts exactly. The obligatory Garrihy too of course.
