Even more adverts you despise

trixiebust

The Electric Ireland ads. 'Smorter' is mentioned about 6 times, in 20 seconds.

There's also an EBS ad - it mentions some super low rate constantly. It just never states what that rate is.

I just saw it too. Lord above, whadda... sorry, what an awful accent!

Glad I'm not the only one. I was feeling bad, because she's only got one arm, but Godddd....that accent.

It's one of the few times I hate a choir-most choirs are grand, be it in a movie, video game, or advert...

but Allianz did it, they made me hate a choir.

I'm sure that Renault ad advertising the star wars film has set a record for most showings in an hour.

Ready kid? :mad:

In fairness the ad with the couple who do rallying together is made easier by the fact the woman is an absolute fox

She annoys me, but the wan in the 'Axa red line' advert is total eye candy. And her accent...yowzah.

Have Vodafone cornered the market for dreadful ads?
Sue the pig (and that sap who "adopted" her),
the new dad ad,
"who the heck is Bry-un?",
the screeching violin,
and now the teenager sent to the gaeltacht)

Just who is the main man in their marketing department?

CircleK - formerly Topaz

A bunch of paid actors to represent minimum wage zero hour contract staff and portray CircleK/Topaz as one big happy family.

Give me a break.

It doesn't get much worse than that.

That VHI genetic testing ad. It is criminally bad. The acting makes Sylvester Stallone looks like a RADA graduate.

I think its been mentioned before but the Ulster Bank mortgage ad with the couch puts me in a bad mood. Smug thirty something couple have been given a couch for their massive new house and its not good enough even for their attic conversion so give it to a charity shop because they have plenty of money to go out buying brand new furniture for their McMansion.

It's really disingenuous for all the people out there struggling to save for deposits, for a teeny weeny place and who if they ever get their own place will be damn glad of a free couch. Between AIB spying on peoples social media and Ulster banks lousy ads part of me wishes for another banking crash.

That stupid Ulster Bank ad with the father and son out for dinner.
The stupid expression on the dad's face and the 'thank you'.
It's just a meal ffs not a kidney!

Does anybody else get a real air of menace from the father in this? When he finds out the son paid he gives him a look like he's about to glass him.

Ah I would not be too hard on the son, he probably had it hard growing up with an absolute psycho for a father!

You can be sure VHI are aren't doing it for their customers' benefit. Wrong genetic profile and BANG goes your annual premium.

2nd edit to clarify : which is why I hate the ad, I believe its misleading.

Cetrine Allergy advert. Of course the pollen 'villain' has a skanger accent, and it's up to D4 posh accented boy 'Cetrine' to save the day.

Dunno if anyone involved in making that advert noticed that posh accented people tend to screw up the country. Skangers might steal your bike, posh folks'll steal your pension, house, and everything in between.

You should be an ad writer

Maybe it’s a few pages back.....but us surprised no one hates that ad. I think it’s special K.

“Do it like this , do it like that. Do it like this then I do it like that” complete with women doing different things, grannies swimming etc.

Fck off.

Vodafone and their 'Daughter in the gaeltacht' advert.

I might hate it because of the advert, or I hate it because the actress playing the mom used to be in the Cassidy's and reminds me of that traumatic show.

Follow-up... I hate it because it's on every fecking second.

Also, is it me, or are the girls dressed way older than they should be? They're barely into puberty, and are dressed a lot older.

"Dilly dilly"

"Hi, I'm Tom"

The Mace one with the orange heads

The rally driving couple

"Pull over, have a cup of coffee and a ten minute nap" (lying there wide awake after the coffee.)

Ribena one with the "zubby duhh, zubby duhh, zubby zubbbbbb..."

The club orange zorro guy

The heating one where they leave their kids jackets on

The domino's "official food of x..."

The Mace one is absolutely hateful.

But the Ribena one?

I love it and watch it every time it comes on. One of my favorites.

It's a marked improvement over their other advert-one that was mocked so badly, they apologised for it. (And I actually like that advert).
It wasn't Pepsi advert bad, but it was close.

Every time an advert tries to do 'feminist'-they shoot themselves in the foot so badly, it's painfully cringey. There's another one from Special K that got roundly hammered for doing the 'society's wrong for saying I need to better myself'.
