    The Dublin Mint Office ad - what is with the voice over woman's accent? It's like a bizarre hybrid of several counties and sounds awful.

    The fact those those con men are even allowed to advertise on the TV is very annoying.

    What is the catch with them? Is it the usual Pringles job? Once they chop they won't stop stop stop?

    That McDonald's ad with the two women trapped in the lift is back. It doesn't bother me till she says Maccy D's. Who calls McDonald's that? Annoying.

    It sounds like 'Micky D's'-but she has an accent.

    Money Supermarket ad (I know, I shouldn't expect much) with the dancing skeletor. Bizarre.

    Gutted that Christmas is over but delighted I won't have to see that stupid cringy Vodafone Ad with the Christmas memories and the dancing, dabbing child in them any more. Possibly the worst xmas ad of them all this year.

    I have a feeling they made that advert so they can reuse it...

    Money Supermarkets ads are always sh!t. Wouldn't expect anything less from a glorified loanshark company.

    They go viral-like, they're a scumbag company, but their adverts go global.

    Initially it's like 'hmmm, clever' and then it becomes bloody torture.

    It's now ten years since the "Here Today, Goo Tomorrow" campaign.

    Which was great, of course - but I wonder what the reaction would be if it was made today...

    The AIB ad is back, bloody hell... The couple with the car and the child called Evan. She has one of the most annoying voices imaginable, and drives away, giggling like the greatest gobsh1te ever.

    They had to chop it a little to exclude some bits but in essence the headwrecking majority of it remains...

    They chopped out the bit where she said 'serious browney points, serious browney points' which she used to say in a south county Dublin accent as 'serious brainy points, serious brainy points'.!

    Psychotic behaviour is the least it does-the worst it does is make you poop your pants.
    It's a laxative. It's why regular vs diet foods are more than likely to make you poop yourself. Because besides being an artificial sweetener, it's gonna make you poop alot.

    And him dabbing along to whatever he was listening to on those oversized headphones. Just the one snag; they weren't actually plugged into anything.

    19 seconds in. And yes; they have a cable, so they weren't bluetooth.

    I didn't know that. Interesting.
    I'm glad they had to chop it a bit, still painful as it is.

    Those marketing twats are always trying to find a new untapped demographic.

    There's an ad for fitted bedrooms that really makes me mad, this showoff housewife is taking her friend in to display her new bedroom. The way she announces it is so bleedin pompous and stuck-up 'and this (pause for effect, open the door) is the new fitted bedroom'.
    When the friend sees it she is stunned and gasps 'wow!' like she's witnessing the birth of Christ.
    Next thing you know there is a big line of women down the hall waiting to see her poxy bedroom.
    Keeping up with the Jones's bullsh1t :mad:.

    There are 3.5 billion women on the planet, and no two are the same. So we made 4 different pads.

    So, that's 4 of them covered (scuse me). They made that whole add to sell pads to just 4 women in the world?

    The Eircode ad is back, the one where the guy doesn't know his mother's address, but he knows her Eircode. Sure.

    They're also getting rid of the 'blue' liquid. And replacing it with 'red liquid'...which is so very darn annoying.
