    The AXA Red Line ad; "my body coloured bumper". That fella needs a large boot up the hole.

    For sure. And the gormless face and 'where's your man gone?' Aaargh!

    The new haribo sweet advert where the kid talks with an adult voice.

    I had the misfortune not to have the TV remote to hand so had to listen to half of it before I managed to press mute.

    Actors getting cast in adverts for Iarnrod Eireann/Vodafone/Ulster Bank et al must be demanding premium rates considering the probability they will be absolutely hated when the ad makes it to air.

    The ad that fills me with rage at the moment is the one with the two gob****es hulking the couch around. The woman has huge teeth that make her look like a rabbit and when she says "yah it's gud" I want to scream. They end up putting what looks like a very comfortable couch in a second hand shop window. Then they replace it with a disgusting dark grey couch that a 3 year old would struggle to be comfortable on.

    Haha ! We alwsys say the same here ! The blessed grey couch they replaced it with is the most uncomfortable looking yoke I have ever seen ! The benches in a train station look more comfortable !

    When he says "Yeah I like it", reminds me of so many fake people. Ugh, just rings true too close to home.

    A few more, no shortage these days is there?

    Currys PC World ad with the man and child doing the voice overs, spanner man and condescending kid, go and sh!te.


    Virgin Media ad, a load of mincing about and an incredibly annoying piece of music. We are robbed on mobile phone and broadband charges here, it's no wonder they try to perpetuate the rip off by bombarding us with adverts.


    Smithwicks ad - "Home brewers of Ireland, we salute you", that's why we are selling a mass produced product that you guys are making at home to avoid drinking our pish - "In it for the love of it", In it for the money more like.


    And this crap, not sure why, her voice probably.

    Grandland ad with a totally bewildered looking middle aged man wandering around the house looking agitated and confused. If they changed the voice over it could easily double as a hse ad for spotting the early signs of dementia.

    The Couch ad and the 'father and son' advert are both Ulster bank, and they're both as pretentious and douchey as one can imagine.

    Maybe we'd take the son more seriously if he walked up to the nursing home counter and handed over a few grand! :D

    The coke ad where the sociopathic brother and sister are fighting with each other over who will get to give a coke to the buff gardener who they have been perving at. The brother at one stage trips the sis up and smashes her jaw into a tiled floor :eek: wtf.
    After all that the dirty old dog of a mother has beaten them to it and is putting the moves on buff boy.

    I took the thank you bit to be since it appears to be an ongoing event and the tradition is that the dad always pays, he says "you know the rules"

    It got ad of the week on this site, as did many horrendous ads I hate, but if this was my most hated ad on tv at the moment I would be a happy camper

    Lost three wheels. And she says something along the lines of Crashed once, rolled 4 times. Only reason I know this is cos it's being played every ad break.

    I'm very surprised I haven't read any complaints about the Currys PCWorld add with all the football refernces and the 1 in 20 chance of a free TV?

    Well I hate it so there Currys PCWorld :p

    That’s just made me laugh.

    Saw it the other night and immediately hated it. I just went ugh.

    I hate all those cringey baby ads though, so I thought it might the be just me.

    Milupa.

    Good call Crowman, I had been meaning to mention that one, hate that one too. Poor kids don't look too happy with being exploited for the benefit of multi national corporation.

    Wasn't there one for a 'leftie/ rightie' biro not too long ago-unless you're counting the 'infomercial adverts' for a lot of biros.

    I was watching an old clip from an Irish tv show, and forgot they used to advertise cattle products on tv(stuff to treat cows and calves, like fluke doses)-wouldn't be seeing anything like that now.

    The youngsters haven't even heard of a sarcoptic mange mite.

    And hopefully they'll never hear the ad for all keyholders in Lurgan to return to their premises.
