I've just seen two ads in the same break using Habanera from Carmen to sell their absolute b*ll****.

One was for electricity, one for some sort of perfume. Neither have even the tiniest connection with this extremely famous and well liked piece of music.

Will you please, please f*ckin f*ck off hijacking other people's talent to make your sh*tty unoriginal bullsh*t ads.

Sorry for replying to myself, but I've just seen this again in an ad for AIB.

Exact same. Take an excellent piece of music that has absolutely nothing to do with pretending to offer your customers value, and then use is as your soundtrack as if it has.

Makes me f*ckin sick to my stomach.

Dirty leeches.

Sue the Pig held those adverts, together, tbh. The ads moved realy quickly too-one minute yer man was dating this girl young enough to be his daughter (she looked barely in her 20s) the next minute they had pre-teen kids, a house etc...what the hell happened in those months when they first met?

Don't forget his "mother" who looked the same age as him.

That Vodafone ad with the parents remembering past Christmases. Dreadful. The "acting" is so wooden. VF seem to have cornered the market in producing awful ads in recent years; those "Sue the pig" ads were awful.

I think those 'Sue the Pig' ads were intended for the New Zealand market first, but i may be wrong.

Sorry if mentioned already but that An Post Address Pal ad with the girl screaming "Oh yeah, Oh yeah,Oh yeah, Oh yeah,Oh yeah, Oh yeah,Oh yeah, Oh yeah," in the highest possible annoying voice.

Spoilt little brat should be told to STFU instead of being filmed and rewarded.

The ad makes me change channel and I refuse to use Address Pal now.

PopePalpatine

Park's new ad is just a clustercringe.

Pentecost

That flipping robot on the Eir Christmas ad. The voice goes through you and it’s on all the time.

Ah the child is only a small tot in fairness. Id blame her parents for commercially exploiting her. I actually hate the other ads they have, in particular that black friday type ad with the crowd surge. Consumerism despairs me sometimes

Jaysus, that one is shocking altogether. It sounds like the least funny guy in a group trying to do a robot voice. How the fcuk does that get past QC? Is there any QC even?

Sorry Lancôme but your expensive advert with Julia Roberts for La Vie Est Belle L'Éclat sounds to me like someone has a dose of the the clap.

Probably me just getting older and more cynical

All perfume ads annoy me.

You should only buy a product where the scent is the selling point because you think it smells good, not because of the visual advertising!

Are you really going to buy a perfume for yourself if it smells rank because the ad features a woman living the life you want to have? Do you think if you buy this perfume for your wife that she'll suddenly look like Julia Roberts draped in diamonds?

Visual ads for perfume is such an incredibly stupid concept that it makes me insane— but the fact that they keep producing them means they work, which is even worse...!

I honestly become apoplectic when I think about it. I try to tell myself it's just that it creates "product awareness" and it makes people go smell the perfume at the chemist or something, but I think that might be giving people too much credit. :mad:

snowflaker

The schol peti (foot dry skin grinder) being advertised as an Xmas gift... wtf!!

The Specialist

Speaking of perfume/fragrances, the guy in the one million advert seems to have taken his tips from Zoolander

Seamus and Sean......lots of stuff (Eir ad) .......Jeeeesus how cringey.

That insidious Dunnes Stores ad is back. The one with the voyeur who gets his rocks off looking in the windows of the houses on his way home from work, hoping to see a housewife in her pink and frillies.

Ugh, yes, I dislike that ad. Don't think much of the Tesco ones either.

Another ad that I think is irritating is the one about switching the gift that the aunt gave her, for a foot spa.

No QC - just make it "stick out" I imagine was the brief. The worst advertisement for a long time.
I switched from Eircom 50% as a result of that ad campaign, 50% as a result of them upping the price and doing zero retention efforts with me.

IIIT'SSS CHRISSTTMAAAAAAAASSSS

I will end the marketing droids behind this.

Our weather might not be great but our milk is... How the heck did neither the hairdresser nor the customer realise that there was apparently a gale force wind blowing BEFORE she steps out into it... :rolleyes:

Conor Bourke

That Johnny Depp one for Sauvage is atrocious, like something from Zoolander.

Surely her hair wouldnt look like she slept on vomit after a small quick breeze? I am a fella who has never had this dilemma i grant you

Where is Jorgen Klop? I couldn’t give 2 hoots where he is but Opel you have a lot to answer to. Pure muck

Thargor

That Vodafone Ad where they're opening presents and doing closeups on their stupid faces is like nails on a blackboard. Then that kid does that stupid dab crap for extra cringe, its just amazingly bad.

4Ad

Barber club..
To tame your beard..WTF...

RabbleRouser2k

Forgot this one, but it was often shown late at night on TV3-the Advanced Hair Studio advert...occassionally pops up on TV as filler

Alan Partridge would be embarrassed to be asked do that advert.

Ignore the guy laughing in the background, just look at the cringe. I'd love to wish this advert was discontinued cos of how embarrassing it was-in actuality, it was because one of the people in the advert sadly passed away.
Doesn't help matters that the 'results' of the hair transplants look like transplanted pubic hair.

And the two Pats. Who signs off on these ads? Do they have any idea how toe curlingly bad they actually are?

That ad must be the most hated on the thread ! Every few pages it is mentioned and detested . The first time I saw it I thought it was a pisstake ! Sadly its not !
I just can't imagine anyone in advertising coming up with that crAp and being proud of it

Well, the TUI folks do appear to be rather proud of their most recent ad...

Jaysus that thing goes on forever. I almost never watch TV3 if I can help it and the infomercial sh!te they show late at night never ceases to amaze me whenever I stumble upon it.
