    Yeah, it's some singer from leeds.

    The advert has been repeated so feckin' often now, that i can't help noticing the 'dancers'.
    They are all literally just doing 2-3 moves over and over and over and over again. Much like the ad.

    The guy dancing at the corner of the pool has 4 people dancing around him. all they are doing is a shuffle and then weirdly stretching their leg out and tapping the floor with their foot. Repeat.
    When she is walking and has all of the dancers walking behind her, they are just repeating the same move over.

    This advert has literally no redeeming qualities. Everything about it is shit.

    There has to somewhere we can write in about these two devoid of personality tuneless empty vessels!

    The lads on the beach are dancing ridiculously out of time too, like seconds apart in some cases.

    I've said it before though the crabs are the best part of it, though it does make the "there's crabs on TUI holidays" link.

    That AXA redline one with the twat in the beard. He has to die. Painfully.


    Beardy is happy out to see the chav driving off in his sh1tbox punto as long as the red line comes along and fixes his Passat.a bumper and boot full of fillers and a respray that will never match up with rest of paint and beardy is delighted with himself.not to mention your insurance going sky high after it
    I would be delighted belting seven shades of sh1te out of punto chav with a wheel brace instead.wake up beardy you just got fukd.

    The 'what's a computer?' one. Marketed to androdgynous teenage Ipad zombies. I hate the fact that she's so rude she doesn't even look up to say hello to her neighbour.
    Always think of Penfold from Dangermouse when it comes on too.

    The abuse of music in several advertisements drives me mad.

    The Harvey Norman and Argos ads have ****e lowest-common-denominator. The sort of chanting a bunch of English football yobs might be happy with. Though come to think of it, that's who these ads are targeting.
    Then there's the appalling TUI ad, with Chaka Khan's "Ain't Nobody" watered down to wishy washy innocuous dreck.
    Finally there's the Nationwide ad about the lost scarf, and the Lloyds ad, with each singer sounding so forlorn that you'd think their dog had just died.

    Watching Tonight with Zig & Zag, it goes to ad break, and on "comes" Durex with their latest love slime and their fabulous new slogan "Win at orgasms!"

    What genius brainfarts this kind of cringe into existence?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,360 ✭✭✭NollagShona


    TUI - cos our holidays killed kids with carbon monoxide we changed our name- after fighting the family through the courts first!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 877 ✭✭✭jk23


    The Euromillions buying an Island ad and the newest update to it I heard yesterday, something about running out of supplies and the guy goes no just send taytos and red lemonade!’


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,081 ✭✭✭fricatus


    TUI - cos our holidays killed kids with carbon monoxide we changed our name- after fighting the family through the courts first!

    In the interests of fairness (to TUI anyway), they bought Thompson long after that awful tragedy happened on Thompson's watch. You're right though - I'm sure it does no harm to their business to go with the new name!

    There's some baby product advert with a female singing, who sounds like she is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. What is she singing? The very emotive and deep nursery rhyme "head shoulders knees and toes", complete with strained whispery vocals. It's just so ridiculously overwrought I leave it off mute to laugh at it :D

    I'm going to ring their mother and tell on them, with any luck she'll ground them and take away their keyboard :pac:

    Lol, there's loads of ads with that style of singing, all the women sound like they are in a tremendous amount of physical pain.

    An add for an app called Joom that's so poorly dubbed you'd wonder what they were thinking allowing it to be broadcast.



    Also...
    I didn't even know Oral B made a toothpaste!

    LIAR! :mad:

    Can anyone tell me why the National Lottery need to run the same advert twice... in the same commercial break. They do it constantly, on Sky Sports anyway. Not the same particular ad every time, but whichever ad they run with, it's repeated in that 3 minute slot? Why? Di they think we didn't get the message first time around?

    Sky Sports generally has way more gambling ads than other channels because target market gamblers tend to watch a lot of sports. Doesnt surprise me to see National Lottery ads run twice in the same break, they want to hammer the message home

    Ah yeah car ads, always showing the car flying along on empty roads when the reality for many is traffic jams on the motorways

    All the opel Car ads. Newest is a daughter getting a shfot down the side of the lane." Is your handbag a good kisser!"....there os some advertosing executive getting paid a fortune to come up with this tripe.

    The advert where the dad is text the son to go for a run preparation of a marathon. The guys voice is on a few radio adds and his voice makes my skin crawl.

    Robbie keanes wife glammed up to the nines doing a spar add. **** OFF.

    I realky like the cadburys ad with the little girl getting the bar of chocolate for her mam.

    And then there's the rubbish they are actually selling on that site. Better quality merchandise can be found inside Kinder eggs.

    I hate those Oral-B ads. They take some rather attractive young women and give them the most inane, completely non-credible lines to say.

    Look at how much more pleasant it is to listen to Lorna Nickson Brown, the pretty red haired girl from "...I didn't even know Oral-B made a toothpaste..." in her own natural persona in these other clips compared to the Oral-B ad.

    That ad is ridiculous and bizarre, the guy accuses the woman of having another man because she has new stuff!!?! :rolleyes:
    She then practically assaults him...dismissively shoves the phone at him and pushes him roughly to the ground!
    It’s horrible on its own never mind the appalling dubbing!

    Haven't seen that version but it sounds ridiculous.

    The one I saw was two women showing up to work in the same dress. I can't remember what else they say as I was so distracted by the fact they were speaking but their mouths weren't moving! :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,819 ✭✭✭fussyonion


    The Subway ad (or ANY food ads from fast-food joints).
    They make out like the food item on show is perfectly presented when we all know it comes out like a hot mess when you order it.

    Back in the day the only place I can remember selling Kia-ora was in the cinema. It was in a plastic carton and came with a straw.
