Even more adverts you despise

the purple tin

The one with the blind gran cooking dinner.
I hate when they use this toucy-feely, tug at the heartstrings stuff to try and sell you something.
What is it saying exactly? If you don't buy this brand you don't support the blind?
Looks like it is set in the 80s too. Did they have frozen Yorkshire puddings back then?

"Mum no screens at the table". Where the mother is having an important meeting at presumably dinner time (6-7 o'clock in the evening).

That bugs the **** out of me as she is affecting the work life balance of not only herself and her family, but the poor bastards dragged into a meeting well after working hours. I'd hate if she was my boss.

Can you imagine the rest of the team on the call when she just abruptly ends it?

Yes its fupping dreadful, the aul wan droning on at the meeting and then the difference between her office face and her home face drives me spare :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

And another thing, do my ears deceive me or does she really ask one of her team for any comments "before they come in " ? Huh ?

Possibly. I'd be raging if I gave up my evening for a wagon like that only for her to decide on a whim that her time is more important than mine.

Anyone seen the new Permanent TSB ad? Its a continuation of the one with yer wan jogging till she finds a house. Now in this one she rings up the banker and she says to him 'lets do it'. Then the closing scene shows the banker calling around to their new house with a creepy grin on his face as he watches her hugging her boyfriend, he's just standing there looking creepy as fcuk like he wants to hop into bed with them. Since when do bankers call around to your house and start grinning at you, if that happens they are there to repossess the gaff.

Stupid McDonald's ad where the mother gives her car to her young son. I hate it because
> There isn't a teen in the country who would turn their nose up at a free car. No matter how ugly it is.
> Your friends would not be laughing at you bacause you are driving your Mam's car. They would be looking for lifts to x, y and z. Any teen with a car of their own suddenly becomes Mr popular with their friends, no matter how ugly it is.
> He drives to McDs using his Ma's petrol and buys her a cheap burger with her own money which he nicked out of the car. Thanks for nothing, son!

The dubbing is brutal. Possibly worse than the Christmas one with the kid playing reindeers.

You can't expect a company making billions to be able to afford an Irish made ad.

The dubbing isn't too bad in that one tbf, the reindeer one was far worse.

I have seen both UK and Irish versions. They have also swapped the number plates to EU ones and changed the pounds to euros when he reaches down for change in the car. So not the worst regurgitated advert. The reindeers though, FFS.

Wasn't he the paedo in Black Mirror that had to fight the young lad?
He was also one of the men watching the xmas party through the guy's eyes on the White Christmas episode.

Suckit

The GoMo advert..
It looks like it was put together by a team on the apprentice. I keep picturing them shouting instructions to the people being filmed.
What is with the guy pretending to fall, the girl shaking her hair etc..?

Stupid advert.
