A fringe please!

Oh God, yes-and she looks worse with the fringe than before...

...and I've no hair, but even I know what looks bad.

Every Eir ad, just fook off!

Another music massacre, this time the ESB slit Van Morrison's throat and shit all over bright side of the road.

Tis worse than 2016!

Think they'd be in a top ten list if anyone was to make one.

Bad as they were adding the kids speaking with adult voices makes them even worse.

Definitely need to be poised ready with the remote control when they come on.

I don't despise this, but it does leave me feeling a bit off kilter every time I hear it.

Bank of Ireland Song: Wherever You Go

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce0z9cTXao4

I'm not a musical expert but IMO, there's something about this song that doesn't hang together. The way the melody jumps around and the guitar accompaniment, don't seem to gel together. I know it involves syncopation ["syncopation is a general term for "a disturbance or interruption of the regular flow of rhythm" according to wikipedia"] but I find it vaguely disturbing.

Apart from the song, I find the advert quite pleasant.

That denny ad with the girl getting a fringe. Was the fringe supposed to be a hatchet job?

It's a cover, and I use the term loosely, of the Genesis song Follow you, follow me.

This is what it sounds like before she put it in a blender.

The overuse of ads surely just annoys people rather than endear them to a product ?
A case in hand is the terribly sad RSA add with the family who lost their little boy in a crash . Its on so often that sadly it has very little effect anymore . Where if it was shown once in a blue moon its effect would be far bigger

The Crowman

The dad in the VW Polo ad bears an unfortunate resemblance to Dustin Hoffman

That's very helpful, Gen.Zhukov. I didn't know that song, but now I know for sure that the BOI version is a bit of a travesty compared to the real thing. The Genesis version flows, even though it's very complicated, musically, and doesn't jump around like the BOI version. Thank you.

That's one, where I reach for the zapper in order to silence it. Especiallly where the "nurse" is saying: "I never again want to experience putting a dead baby into his mother's arms". (words to that effect}. She's tryng to express a suitable emotion, but the way she puts unnatural gaps between the words makes it obvious she's acting or at least trying to act, and making a terribly bad job of it. It reminds me of the series "Faking It" where they have examples of people, who have committed crimes, showing that they are lying. One indication of lying is - stopping and starting at inappropriate parts of the sentence. Painful to listen to - for all the wrong reasons!

The ad for kitchen paper where the gom of a man is wasting yards of the stuff, along with leaving the fridge open and wasting tin foil. Lucky for him he has such a smart wife. Reverse the roles and hear the outcry.

Say Your Number

Going by those toothpaste ads, the price you have to pay for having immaculate teeth is that you're a complete thicko.

Agreed. I reach for the remote whenever that ad comes on. Less can be more. Just about all those RSA ads have been aired to extremes. The bloke texting, the mother looking behind her. I doubt there's anyone in the country who hasn't seen them at this stage. Several times.

the purple tin

The touchy feely Facebook ad. They spent years makng a mint by selling your private info, and now all of a sudden they are gong to be your best friend. Pull the other one Zuckerberg.

Trilla90

The axa insurance radio ad were the axa woman is showing concern for a bird in a tree and a little girl with an annoying voice says "birds are people too". Awful

madmaggie

The AIB club and county ad. OK the first couple of times, but annoying now.

That series for some UK lottery, one has a black guy rapping and another with "winners" giving gushing testimonies and this headwrecking chant that goes "there's someone at the door" or something like that

Yes, that's the one. Couldn't think of what it was called.

Worst acting ever.

"I could have stayed in bed"

Then he comes out of Spar and pretends to jog away. It's so bad it looks purposelly bad.

Yeah he comes across as a bell end. He never shopped at spar his whole life.

There must be nobody buying tickets for the European Para Swimming Championships. It must be due to the awful annoying advert that they are spamming television viewers with.

Anyone know what kind of accent it is? Is this how kids sound nowadays? Is this what trendy apps have turned them into??

Out of context, that last line is hilarious.
