    Any Vodafone ad, they really are complete cringe and shoite

    Even their British ones are rubbish-the ones with Martin Freeman for example.

    And she's absolutely screaming out of the telly at ya while you're just sitting there on the couch with a jaffa cake waiting for Tipping Point to come back on so you can get 75% of the answers wrong.

    Keep your eyes peeled and you see a lot of Markle-a-like actresses in ads. Trying to cash in on her 15 minutes.

    God-the Vodafone 'Gaeltacht' advert was on again...and my brother nailed it why the ad is so ridiculous-and makes Vodafone look bad too.

    The girl sends a text to her mam, moaning and whinging about everything going on there, we see days, weeks go by...

    ...and then the mam finally gets the text, and now the daughter is a fluent gaelgeoir, having gone feral I'd imagine, and speaking in a language the mam probably doesn't understand... The daughter then abandon's her phone, to live amongst the wild, untamed citizens that probably occupy Mordor or wherever she is. And the mam holds the phone to her chest knowing she'll never see her again.

    I've got a few questions. How f***ing long did that text take to be sent? Where in damnation did they send her that it took that long? And if it's only 'down the road', how s**t is Vodafone's service?

    Why have they changed the ending of the lucozade David v Goliath ad ? I quite liked the old one, new one is rubbish.

    These ads are so dated and behind the times I don't think they'll catch on to the floss until 2050.

    Silly Denny ad with the boy going to Ballyhaunis after his da points it out on a spinning globe. That's a seriously detailed globe if it has Bally-feckin-haunis on it :rolleyes:

    I can't imagine that no one has nominated my,er, nomination. But it's just been on, so I've been reminded; the Maltesers ad with the two nurses slobbering over Jamie ("the really fit one"). Sorry, but no.

    It's interesting how Trivago adverts should be annoying, but because they at least do a new variation of their adverts, and Trivago girl is a welcome presence, they avoid it.

    Vodafone's adverts are just an abomination out of the gate...I was wondering what happened to the 'Pepsi campaign crew'-seems they got a job at Vodafone.

    Trivago girl is not a welcome presence, she is a smug, how cool am I, bint. Any other conclusion is just your hormones.

    I hate all Malteasers ads. The worst one ever was the squeaky voiced bint publicly dumping her boyfriend.

    she jumped the shark with that hamster advert, she is dead to me now unless she does a secret escape type advert :pac:

    I'll be honest-if the choice was Trivago girl or Secret Escape Girl...

    I'd have to choose Secret Escape Girl. It's her legs, her accent, her...everything.

    When I get in from work i love to fix myself a gin and tonic, except for the last few weeks I've been having other tonics other than Schweppes because I am boycotting Schweppes until they take that stupid, immature insulting advert off the television.

    If you don't know the one i mean it goes "there are some people who can't appreciate Schweppes who we call amateurs. People who friend their boss on Facebook or give their girlfriend their bank card".

    Apparently I'm an amateur because I have a mature relationship with a girl who I trust not to go on a spending spree, and I'm an amateur because I get along with my boss and regularly have pints with him.

    So Schweppes, I won't be imbibing a single drop of your tonic while that ad remains on TV.

    off topic> Give the Lidl Tonic water a try, of the really cheap ones I think its the best only I've stopped using it as I'm trying to stick to low calorie tonic water and have gone back to Schweppes Slimline Tonic, sorry :o

    Also keep an eye on Aldi as they do their own "version" of Fever Tree Tonic, the packaging is the same and I can't tell the difference tasted side by side with genuine Fever Tree Tonic :)
