Even more adverts you despise

The amount of fanny pad ads on the telly. Is there really need to have a wan on talking about pissing herself when she laughs, while I'm trying to have a cup of tea?

The new one about tampons and how to stick them in correctly is totally cringe.
I'm not a prude but I don't know if it's suitable for pre watershed. It's on a lot of evenings around 8.45.
I don't want to be asked by a child what 'get em up there girls' means.
Seems a crude way to advertise tampons.

Banking ads have become more patronising lately, soothing female voiceovers...something, something cocooning, something these most challenging of times we'll look after you and wrap you in a nice snuggly cosy blanket, cue kiddies music box soundtrack.

I suggest the following tag line: “AIB. Bailed out by the Irish taxpayer in 1985 and in 2009”

Its4Women have had the crappest adverts from the beginning. They just continue to get worse.

The one that says "I like to do mine online" sounds more like she's looking for an afternoon of no strings sex.

It's innuendo. Unfortunately, because it's an its4women advert, it's s**t.

That ad is absolutely dreadful. Never in my life have I heard anyone saying po-tat -oh, give them two months and they’ll be killing each other.

I wish death on both of them..also the dish they make looks like the blandest dish imaginable

Oh my sweet baby jesus. RTE have a twist on the Covid 19 message now, with Bridget from Bridget and Eamon telling a few women to stay indoors.

In that RTE-produced comedy sort of way- un-funny and very loud.

It can feck right off. I would nearly definitely rather get a dose of covid than be forced to sit through an episode of that.

I love how she sounds so smug about it, a lot of people do it online. The insurance that is :pac:

It's also extremely dodgy..

Bridget and Eamonn is set in the 80s or 90s. (don't know which decade, I'm not watching an episode to find out).

They didn't have Covid-19 in the 80s, or 90s.

Round that time, the biggest virus concern for folks in the 80s and 90s was the HIV and AIDS virus.
So her attitude, and her 'stay inside, don't get it'... is sort of similar to the homophobia of the era.
That and the homosexual beatings.

RTE didn't think it through.

All that fandango

The phenomenon hasnt gone unnoticed. Forbes wrote an article about it the other day entitled "Every Single Covid 19 Ad is the Exact Same"
https://www.forbes.com/sites/avidan/2020/04/19/every-covid-19-commercial-is-exactly-the-same/

Here is a supercut of American TV ads running over there at the moment. Every single one from Facebook to Bank of America is running the exact same ad, mood music, difficult times, family, looking after yourself all feature heavily before the corporation tells us they are here for us and that we'll get through this together :rolleyes:

Those too, but I was thinking more of the horrible rap and drum and bass type of stuff. Dissonant is the only way to describe it, listening to it gives me the same experience as when the dentist drills your tooth.

That 'music' is on every ad and in every shop these days and it's absolutely awful. Used to take a shortcut through JD sports or whatever it is in cork city before, has to stop over that music, rather take the extra 2-3 minutes to walk the long way and bear 20 seconds of that dross.

If I hear one more pretentious **** of a company referencing “stay at home” I will drive something through the TV.

No that's the later 'sexy foreign wan' and hatchet faced Irish Mammy ad for Kerrygold. It's a winning formula for them.

A horse to France and a sod of turf to Germany. Hope Foot & Mouth doesn't make a come back.

I seem to have gotten emails from every company I've ever bought anything from outlining their response to Covid 19 and how they take the take the health of their staff and customers seriously. I'd say their policies would be out the window in a flash if it suited them.

Probably mentioned already but it seems like every bank ad at the moment is extremely annoying.

They all have this kind of creepy “music”
In the background. KBC is definitely the worst, sound weird kind of sounds and then shots in black and white of people by the way from all walks of life
- pregnant woman, older man etc

All seemingly delighted that they are with such a great bank, “the bank of you”. Whatever the **** that means.

Yeah that KBC add is terrible, the whole way it was shot, that guy sticking head to the camera (talk about not being original), but the worst part it for me is the sound of the guy doing the voice over, aaaarrrrggghhhh.....!!!!

That promo for the show about Gerry Ryan that's coming up. If I hear that woman saying it feels like he was speaking to you alone one more time I'll scream. Every single ad break and it sounds so stilted and rehearsed. I can't stand it.

His anniversary was ignored for years, now they’re going to cobble a few clips together...

They'll dig up his corpse, send it to a taxidermist, and plonk it in hallways of the RTE's offices if they can use it to make money.

Yeah, they ignored his anniversary for years, but I think they were waiting for the 'hullabaloo' over the hows of his death to die down (no pun intended).

Gerry, frankly, P**sed it all away. He was one of the highest paid RTE presenters-yet was not in the best financial state-and as we know now, it was most likely because of his 'habits'.

A few years after he died, RTE did do a show about his life... but skirted around his addictions.
Even when he died, they barely mentioned it. And there was palpable anger around that (And still is, frankly). I remember a few journalists (including KEvin Myers, in one of those times a broken clock was right twice a day) pointed out that he helped fund so many criminal organisations, and helped kill many an innocent person.

All just trying to cash in on the current situation. They couldn’t give a feck if you jumped out under a bus let alone catch covid 19.

She's on the payroll, but she' not gonna go far, kid. They've got others who've proven more successful. That, and she's the wrong side of 30.

I mean-she was hosting the 'Behind the Scenes' of DWTS. That got axed, and the next thing she was on the show. On the other hand, the original host of the BTS show, Blathnaid Treacy, has picked up other gigs along the way.

Lottie won't get TV gigs... the Covid 19 thing done messed up their plans.

That just for women car insurance ad drives me mental. The woman doing the voiceover has the most ridiculous annoying accent I’ve ever heard. I’ve actually started fantasising about punching her. There’s also an ad for a new tv show called Normal People and it’s unbelievably boring. It definitely would turn you off watching the show. These two along with COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE are driving me insane.

The Just for women voiceover woman's accent drives me insane as well. Sounds like the most ridiculous affected accent ever.

The Normal people ad has the opposite effect for me. I'm interested in watching it

What's the ad with the two women in the car talking to the insurance company? "Thanks Niall".

The one on the left keeps widening her eyes when she talks, it really irritates me.

It reminds me of the Muppet Show.
