    Seems like it's been removed. Have Maroon 5 gone down the Denis O Brien road?

    http://waterfordwhispersnews.com/2018/06/27/show-that-****ing-ad-one-more-time-i-dare-you-public-warn-maroon-5/

    This link working?

    Dang, it's not-just go to the site and type maroon 5.

    You have to replace the *s with the offending word. I'll give you a clue, it's an anagram of an Anglo-French clothes store.

    “Scott’s home earrrrrrly” I can’t be the only one who thinks the m&m ads are really creepy. “You were going to eat him without me” yuk disgusting.

    The thing about that ad though that gives it some clemency, is the one having an "affair" is tasty.

    I....eh....wouldn't mind her eating me

    Anyone got a link to the vodafone ad where the lad calls the fella dad? I don't think I've seen it.

    Annoying ad for me is the energia ads..."clever humans go for energia" in the michael D type voice.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,239 ✭✭✭Pussyhands


    Also I find the Chill ads with jennifer maguire very sexist...

    Conventionally attractive woman making a nerdy guy run around for her while she plays him.

    If roles were reversed it would never happen.

    LOL! I thought that was a Francis Brennan type voice.

    I quite enjoy these ads. Sorry!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 527 ✭✭✭acai berry


    Love the Brennan's Bread ads especially where the guy does a few Irish dancing steps.

    Hate all Chill Insurance Ads, especially the needle in the haystack one.

    The spot treatment ad with Gorgie Porter (an actor, but I've never heard of her) she starts talking about all the things she used to try and get rid of her spots; honey, perfume, garlic!!! WTF! Just go out and buy some clearisil you dozy Essex bint.

    An ad on this morning, I think for Virgin media, a complete abomination of the Louis Armstrong song, What a Wonderful World. No punishment would be enough for this aural poison.

    I think I heard that on my radio this morning as I was waking up. Thought I was having a nightmare. LOL!

    McDonald’s advert where the ginger guy imagines himself getting into the punk cashiers knickers


  • Registered Users Posts: 138 ✭✭whatever99


    The Mace ads with the people dancing with orange balls as heads gives me the rage for some reason. They look so stupid!!! Maybe it’s the annoying dance moves.

    I think the Vodafone ad where the kid calls the mother’s boyfriend “dad” is weird. It’s nice up until that point...eh hello kid, he’s not your dad. You can’t just go around calling people dad just cos he’s nice to you! Nothing to do with thinking it’s insensitive to absent dads, or whatever those complaints were about, it’s just kinda creepy. Like the kid rules the roost, and has now decided that this man is his dad, whether he wants to be or not. :-D

    The ads for its4women are atrocious. Seriously, it’s like they’re a pisstake. They must have purposely got the worst actors and scriptwriters ever, just for the craic.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,819 ✭✭✭Silent Running


    Have people become immune to "HI, I'M BARRY SCOTT!!"

    I fucking haven't :mad:

    Plus, they've annihilated a seventies classic.

    This ad for Rockshore lager

    Oh the joys that await you on your break in the west of Ireland. You can faff about on the beach (forget swimming unless you want hypothermia), pose for a group photo in a cattle feeder, have a penalty shootout in a goal wth no net, remove something from your friend's eye, then all back to your ugly unpainted irish bungalow to get pissed drunk. Where do I book my ticket :rolleyes:





    The party scene in the bungalow reminds me of this

    ...

    Right at the begining of the ad my first thought was that they were throwing bottles of the crappy stuff into the sea to get rid of it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,239 ✭✭✭Pussyhands


    That stupid Eir ad.

    "Crashed once, rolled 4 times...lost 3 wheels..."

    "...keep tidy now"

    I half expect them to do the 'just watch me whip, just watch me nae nae, just watch me whip...'

    Mace Ad is now hilarious because of this viagra advert... (Yeah, it's shown on Irish tv).

    It's always the same thing with 'feminist' adverts. Case in point, this American one for Special K-it was roundly mocked and laughed at.



    The advert they showed over here was far superior-not perfect mind, just superior.

    "I prefer to keep it all online" grrrr

    Still not as bad as its4womens first ad a few years ago with the "bizness movers and shakers"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,764 ✭✭✭my3cents


    Maybe its my own fault for watching pseudo American TV channels :o Maybe other people don't get the "click that deal" wowcha - the short version



    "You got it" - no not in a million years!

    That ‘TUI’ holiday advert does my head in.

    “we cross the Ts, dot the i’s and put ‘u’ in the middle”. i guess it can’t be “we cross the Ts, dot the i’s and put ‘u’ first”... cause then they’d be UTI.
    but still... UTIs are probably less annoying than that stupid advert.

    They were probably describing Eir broadband to be fair.

    Oh Christ I feel like putting my boot through the television when that comes on. That girls voice drives me mental.

    The lynx one with yer man rolling down the hill is pure headwreck. That horrible song that sounds like someone shouting Ali baba and wtf is going on at the very end?

    Edit: Just watched again on YT and its even worse, can hear what sounds like "Suck my b@lls"
