Even more adverts you despise

I actually recognise her. Margaret Qualley who was in "The Leftovers" (fantastic programme), where she was quite good. Her mother interestingly enough is Andie Macdowell (from 4 weddings and a funeral & groundhog day fame).

I agree with everybody though. Absoutely bizarre ad

There's a fella who does radio voice overs and he has the weirdest, most exaggerated D4 accent I've ever heard. ... He used to do a McDonalds ad for the "eurew-saver" menu and is now doing one for "EW-Brien's" off-licences. Think he may have done a "Spor" ad too. I don't get how this fella is continually given voice over work, nor do I understand how he can listen to himself and think he doesn't sound like a bloody twat!

I hate these charity ads that tell you how "Just €4 will make a difference" emphasising the "€4 will do..." over and over before telling you to text whatever to 57 whatever to help whatever it is.
It's a deliberate mislead to make people think they are making a one off donation of €4 from your phone credit/bill like many other charities do when in fact its just passing on your information to call centre chuggers.
What a horrible way to try to do some good.

I feel a little bit of vomit coming up every time the neighbour comes out the back door and says "Hey. Whatchya doing on your computer?"

"What's a computer?"

Ugh.

God, I can't stand that ad. That androgynous c*nt is insufferable. God only knows what gender pronoun that person goes by.

I hate the Tui ad that's running on Sky One between breaks, terrible voice and reminds me of the Rimmel London look

Walken is a trained dancer. I was wondering why he was so good in the fatboy slim video, and I have subsequently seen him in other things

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Walken#Early_life

Walken initially trained as a dancer in music theatre at the Washington Dance Studio before moving on to dramatic roles in theatre and then film.[12]

Ah yes, that's from the Cannon film's version of Puss in Boots. By then the budgets for their movies had shrunk so much, there was no 'cat' makeup for Walken to wear.

Very odd film, saw it as a kid.

Yeah. "Just €2 a month....". How many months exactly? They avoid mentioning that.

Did anyone at An Post ever come out and admit to signing off on THAT AddressPal ad?

Shifty Shellshock

As you do

Alun

That Apple ad where the obnoxious kid asks "What's a kompewdah?" It's that fcuking thing you're tapping and swiping at you moron!

Anyone seen that new Just Eat ad, the one done in a Glee style?
:mad:

Those bloody tui ads are awful. And they seem to be on constantly.

Chrimbo limbo?

Two dopes fckn tools going on about the 5 days over Christmas.

This is worst ever!!!!!

George White

Why this RSA #ForCiaran ad in widescreen? IS IT TO MAKE THE SHOTS OF THE GRIEVING FAMILY MORE CINEMATIC/GLOOMY? The news footage doesn't look good in widescreen, nor does the phone camera stuff.

iamwhoiam

If I see that awful Lotto ad with the eejit in the bed and the fools of nurses cooing I am actually going to ring the Lotto people
So insulting to nurses and if the roles were reversed their would be blue murder . Horrible creepy ad and its raised its ugly head again over Christmas

Auld Jim Halpin

Currys/PC World one, annoying kid helps with the voice overs, grrrrrrrrrrrr, why do they treat us this way!!!, might give up on the aul TV with the way it's going!

Totally agree, It's an extremely sad ad. However, if it discourages one person from drink driving I say it's worth running.

RabbleRouser2k

New Rspca advert-it's not the content, it's the horrific voice over acting, its terrible and phoned in.

It actually undermines the heartbreaking images. Aand i say this as someine who abhors animal cruelty.

Hate that song in it too especially that headwrecking "money money money money" bit they have in the shorter version.

madmaggie

The new ad for 123.ie with the talking grey hairs. It makes me feel sick, just something icky about it.

alan partridge aha

Yep, that TUI ad is terrible. Thought about it for a while. The increase in the tempo is the bit that gets me. It's like the drummer in a mediocre wedding band had a little toot before the gig and counted it in too fast and everyone just went with it.

It's an instant ear worm for me. I like the song and I'm going to end up hating it because of this. It was a 'moneys no problem' advert and is run at prime slots but they screwed up.
The lad on the holiday doesn't get a look in. It's all about her holiday.

FFS, finally someone spends money on an ad and this is what we get.

I hate her whingy fu5king voice

There's a Vodafone ad on that I've seen a couple of times and for the life of me I've no idea what they're trying to sell.
Little sad kid looking out his bedroom window, sees a car pulling up and young bearded guy gets out and rings at the door.
The Mother (I presume) gives bearded guy a big hug and he comes into the house, says hello to kid.
Kid not impressed and remains sad.
Ad continues with beardy reading kid books, playing ps4, bringing him to football, going crab fishing in Dalkey and falling asleep on couch.
Last scene sees beardy helping kid with his homework and kid says "Thanks Dad"...!!!
I mean WTAF...????
Am I missing something here.
Is this bloke his father??
If he is why the fuk did the kid not like him??
If he's not, why did the kid call him Dad?
And WTF has this to do with Vodafone??

I read it like this , man is childs mothers boyfriend . Child not sure but slowly warms to him . Warming continues until child calls boyfriend Dad as he has accepted him as that now
No clue what it has to do with Vodaphone though

Sounds like that horrible McDonalds ad from a while back. Except that the Dads not dead.
