Even more adverts you despise

Really want to punch that "Curly Pieces" kid on the radio in the face.

The Blackrock Hair Restoration Clinic one is doing the rounds again.

With the manipulative message in the narration of something like..."You lost your hair and now you are so unhappy that it has completely destroyed your self esteem, come to us because we're the best, and we'll make you happy on the outside which in turn will make you happy on the inside....you bald loser..."

The 'supermarket woman' from the Tescos ad is the hungover post-party office worker in the Subway christmas ad. I watch too much tv.

My hated at the moment is the 'What the feck' girl in the return post ad. They're really knocking it out of the park with this series of ads

And they show it twice per ad break?

I'm not sure if it's mentioned but the "forced" singing in the Fairy Non-bio ad does my head in.

That whisper-ey / laboured..."hhheaaaaaad, shhhhoulders, knees and... toooooooes"

Nah, your singing's shit.

If I could thank this a thousand times. Her voice makes me irrationally angry.

I despite' these AIB Mortgages advert for the simple reason is that AIB disables YouTube comments and Shazam cannot find the song.

That kid is also slightly annoying but not anything compared to the feeling of not being able to find the song.

Has anyone seen the SunLife ad for the "guaranteed over fifty plan" with the couple who have seen "the ads with Parky". Painfully scripted and acted. At the end there's a notice on screen that 9/10 new customers say they're good value, makes me wonder what established customers think of them.

I'm sure it's been mentioned before but the "its's for women" car insurance ad.....all contributors are irritating....but Jaysus,the wan that utters the "Oi like to Kaep it all on-lion"....I just wanted to punch the the TV when she opens her mouth.

Don't think so. I think the McDonalds ad was the same one as the "down there for dancin' " dishwasher repair guy ad.

I have to mute the tv. Rotten ads, both.

That bloody ad for hearing aids is back 'verb or adverb?' Aaaaaaaaargh! It's not the worst but yer wan gives the correct answer and then makes a face when the other wan doesn't hear her properly.
If it was real, she would say, that was what I said... :pac:

There has been a huge upsurge in sales of hearing aids ever since the "an post screaming brat" advert came out.

Or the one with the two women going around the garden centre talking about their dead friend and her funeral cover. The ad writers must have wanted to finish it on an upbeat note so two male characters waiting outside make a silly little joke and then bellow out this really ott and manic laughter. wtf?

Thank god for the BBC channels is all I say, I find myself watching them almost exclusively these days, ad free bliss and BBC4 documentaries are second to none.

Don't know if it's been mentioned already but the ad where Wee Daniel offers to have a look at the gas boiler is so bloody annoying. It's bad on the telly but now they've an off-shoot of it on the wireless - grrr!!

Anyone noticed the old Mercedes in the confused dot com advert. In the US where they buy the car put petrol in it and then "park" it its a left hand drive but when the "skills" of a sheep whisperer are required on UK roads the "same" car is now right hand drive.

I'm really fed up of that toothpaste ad with yer man and yer wan on the train. She has a weird mouth too.

Opinions vary, while I can see she should be attractive she makes me shudder when I look at her as she seems more of a caricature than a real person.

In that Heineken ad with Jackie Stewart, I wish he'd be more honest and say "There's no way I'd ever drink that pisswater" instead of the "I'm Driving" excuse.

madmaggie

The ads for foundation or skin cream with a woman who looks about 16, mad staring eyes, and a frozen expression. If that's what it does to you, I'm keeping well away from that stuff.

hmmm not sure that would have got off the ground

Using Jackie Stewart is a bit silly anyway. With all due respect to him, he wouldnt be widely known amongst the u30s in spite of his unbelievable sporting achievements. I suppose though they couldnt exactly use Rooney :pac:

Yeah they all have dozy made alien-y eyes and robotic expressions.
So cringey.

The portrayal of men as useless eejits in ads. The latest Prepay Power one is a prime example. Wifey is on her smartphone, while eejit husband can't even turn on the TV. It might have been funny at one time, but it's old, stale and insulting now.
