    Those Maltesers ads featuring the "ladette" women are just embarrassing.

    Potential sexual assault as well.

    She can't remember if it was just a snog :eek::eek::eek:

    Any of those ads which feature Irish sports and GAA, usually by banks sponsoring teams; they try to make it look like the clash of the titans, all slo-mo action, and hyperbolic bullsh*t. "be the best you can be"...with a mortgage from AIB etc

    Silly ad with the young boy trying to get a refund for unused nappies. His voice is so annoying.

    Lloydspharmacy advert....

    It's not even good enough for a bad youtuber's channel from 2010... I mean, 'bird flu'... That hasn't been a thing since swine flu took over from it.

    Just...terrible.

    There's a wart pen advert, which I didn't spot a brand name for, anyway at the end they say buy one get one half price. So they are really saying the product is crap and you'll need to buy at least two because one won't be enough.

    They are showing again the one with the two women stuck in the lift. The last thing you want to be doing in a confined space is to be eating McD's if you catch my drift.

    You know the way you always hoped there was a special edition of The Great Escape where Steve McQueen got the motorbike over the fence into Switzerland?

    I feel the same way about the Chicken McNuggets ad, where Sadbh upturns the table where she's nomming the McNuggets and pins Dreamy Leamy to the floor and rides him to death.

    Speaking of alternative endings for ads, you know the one where the little girl gets the bar of chocolate from the corner shop with a collection of buttons and other crap ? I'd love it if she ran out to the mother at the end and went. "Mum, it worked again, another free bar of chocolate, the sap even gave me my toy back. "

    Ads pissing about with classic films. They did it with Ghostbusters and now Back to the Future :mad: Hands off the films you twit ad writers, come up with something original.

    Sadly, the odds of an ad like this one being made in this day and age are quite long... :(

    I dunno-they went back to Action Man for So Money, and they're using He-Man and Skeletor, as well as Flintstones, Top Cat etc etc

    It's possible they would go back to Thunderbirds-but considering it's all CGI now (there's a new tv show called Thunderbirds are Go), I think it would be a far different advert.

    Ah fer fecks sake, I like that advert. So does my brother. It's positively golden compared to the other crap ones.

    Just seen the John Lewis Bohemian Rhapsody advert-wanted to hate it, but it was so creative I found it tough to.

    I only came on to denounce that ad. It had two of the components that make me want to find whoever created it and do them physical harm. The destruction of a classic song and an attempt at manipulation by using children.

    Queen seems to be selling out their back catalogue. May very be clever marketing for the new Bohemian Rhapsody movie starring Rami Malak.

    Either way, it's more tolerable than the 'Flash...ah ah!' dog advert.

    I'm getting really pissed off with these cheesy emotionally charged "pull at the heart strings" ads.
    That stupid coffee ad with the audience, and that "may I have a bar of chocolate please" ad are the latest in this category of puke.
