most annoying ads of all time

Benicetomonty

That ad for ford or some car where the couple are rowing and dividing up their belongings as the divorce looms. Then one of them mentions the beach house.

"We'll think about it." You bellend.

Also that extra chewing gum ad where the father sizes up the contents of his daughter's defiler's boxer shorts and decides he likes what he sees as his wife looks on enviously. What an awful ad.

branie2

the TUI ad. The staff dancing is so irritating.

Ten of Swords

Any ad with a fuсking talking meerkat in it :mad:

Jim Bob Scratcher

We're in a different century lads

Clearly the most annoying ad ever and it will never be beaten either is the stupid Hyundai ad where the little girl doesn't get maimed due to the door locking system or other thats the latest greatest thing to make mummies feel good about themselves when buying Hyundai. Its all over the World Cup coverage on RTE.

This ad is stupid on so many levels you'd wonder did the people who made it got sacked yet.

So the little one fingers on the door handle while the big bad truck is approaching. The entire scene seems to realise this and does their best concerned OMG face. But nobody says a thing of course because supposedly it a split second thing or so. Then the door lock system kicks in (apparently a brand new thing only my dads car had it a gazillion years ago, it just wasn't 'smart' only fkn locked) and the child is safe while the big bad truck booms past 2 inches away and at about 100mph supposedly in a festival car park.
Then your man from who? Maroon5 did they have a cr@p hit 10 years ago? starts to butcher three little birds by poor Bob sporting the most punch me in the face look I've ever seen on anyone. And everyone is happy.
The worst is your ones face though, the mummie. When she realises ah her little girl didn't just get smashed to pieces. I want to punch her in the face too just for the fkn face she makes.
What the actual fvck?

Is that new strategy now? Make the most annoying and stupid ad ever and then people get so annoyed so they remember?

Fair enough, but it does have the girl in the Argentina combination rugby/football top so I like it...

Keeping in theme with this thread, Llyods have fairly whiny miserable ads for whiny miserable people

My flatmate in college had a pc and we had a moneybox beside it. Everytime we went onl8ne we had to put the money into the box to pay for the internet. I think it wad 1p per minute it worked out at.

She has the most punchable face of anyone in the ad that's not called Adam Levine. Mouth-breather.




why is she looking in the back of a car with a child in it anyway? Besides, you wouldn't be able to see a 5 year old trying to open a door from that vantage point. Every car in the ad is the exact same brand too.The amount of general fcukery in that car park is off the scale. All it makes me wanna do is never buy a Hyundai or a Maroon 5 track.

lurker2000

There's a youngish voice over guy on the radio who is getting a lot of gigs on different ads and the rising inflection at the end of each of his sentences is so irritating. Hard to explain, when he says 'dot.commmmmm'
It's not part of the ad, just his manner of pronouncing his words in an animated pseudo American voice. And don't start me on Mary who will escort you to Budapest for your teeth ... leave it to the professionals Mary ! Last one is any child actor on Radio Ads .. smart ass kids who tell their parents they need new wardrobes .. I've thought another last one ... . whoever voices the Frog character at Aquazone .. an adult pretending be a child voice. urgggg.

I always think the guy Barry is punching above his weight until she opens her mouth and she sounds as dumb as he looks.

god's toy

(If this is not just for TV)

The in-house/made ads by radio Nova... My good god they are shockingly bad! Bad writing, really bad acting and the level of cheese in most of them is unreal. It's shocking to me that anyone pays for them or that in the years they are on the Air they haven't gotten any better at doing them.

If I hear another "Oh my god, I just love the colour" '...And I know shes going to leave a 5 star review' ... today on there station I'm probably going to punch the radio...

The union of bearded secondary school teachers? Why would they even need an ad.

Benicetomonty

That Lucozade ad with a remarkably posh, and unconvincingly hungover David squaring off with angry, non verbal Goliath is also pretty fkn stupid.

Underground

Does anyone ever hear the ads on the radio for Copan in Rathmines? A woman who is obviously from South Dublin putting on her best impression of an American accent,which happens to be way over the top, advertising the various cocktail deals at this bar... In Rathmines.

In before "This thread is old enough to be me Da".

Radion washing powder ad series where they had the whole family talking about how clean their clothes now were. Stunningly awful ads.

The Radion ad from the late 80s. Irish version.

I think we may have a winner . .

TheShockmaster

The M&M'a ad where one of them is in bed with the wife and the other is in the closet.

Not only is it annoying it's actually quite creepy, on many levels. She wants to eat a seemingly sentient being, the two M&Ms know they are doing wrong and they still go ahead with it, because the yellow one wants to f**k the wife. Like, why is the red one in the closet watching?

You'd wonder how this was signed off

He the guy who does voiceover on Three ads?

10000maniacs

That ad with the family frying Denny's sausage's and rashers and that inane whine of a song "Home Bird Sing"

whisky_galore

That Discover Ireland ad from a few years back with a pair of caterwauling female singers with guitars on the soundtrack.

The "Curly Pieces" ad on the radio makes me never want to visit Currys ever again.

You know the FIFA ad, where the bag the woman left after her changes colour as it goes through the door.

I'm getting heartily sick of that ad about the French student coming to stay with an Irish family and the young son falling for her. It seems to be on every time I switch on the telly.

c68zapdsm5i1ru

I also cannot stand any ad that goes all philosophical and deep and meaningful about their product. Broadband suppliers seem the worst for this.

Think it's eir/three or whatever but that ad where the cuck is trying to win over his wife's son by taking him to rugby, helping with the homework etc. Eventually the kid calls him 'dad'.

Cringeworty.

Another account added to my ignore list.

Seize the Denny!

There's an ad for microwaveable baked potatoes. Yer man is microwaving a single potato and his entire family are in the background sitting themselves down at the table. When the microwave pings he shouts "Dinners ready!" and heads in to feed the wife and kids with one baked potato on a plate!

Bothar and their goat. Every. Fcuking. Christmas.

Most insurance ads, the cloying ones and ones that try to be funny and fail miserably.

The Appliances Delivered radio ad, makes my ears bleed.

Axa home insurance ad about the storm and the birds accompanied by Cheistmas style tear jerking irking music

seachto7

Any ad with that Dermot and Dave bloke. On tv or radio.
A lot of TV3 ads which seemed to be aimed at the D4 Baileys Minis cocktail dress drinking ladies.
The chips curry ad. Twat.
Mortgage ads with their twee music. Emotional advertising...

Water John

Any ads that use, out of synch, voice as a means of drawing attention. I'm a little deaf and that drives me bananas, as I use visual to connect to the sound a bit more than most. It's irritating anyway.

c68zapdsm5i1ru

There was an ad running a few years ago about how some bank or other were 'backing brave'. Always made me want to throw a brick at the telly.

MetzgerMeister

AIB and they're still running those ads.

You've forgotten a poo at Paul's. I have no idea what the ad was for.

skylight1987

30 yrs later this will still lodge in my head sometimes

they go with beans ,bangers ,bacon ,burgers ,
fish fingers a fish fingers
eggs on eggs off
grill um, bake um, fry um, eat um .
birdseye potato waffles so waffley versatile

Beechwoodspark

Gawwwd that axa ad is brutal stuff.

“What about the birds? They’re people too”

whisky_galore

The clever woman/dopy man set up for ads.

Man can't find his own arse and smartypants woman saves the day. Imagine the outcry if roles were reversed.

Yes that Aquazone radio ad is back on this summer, 2019. I have to say its the most annoying ad ever and there are a lot of annoying ads. Its not just her squeaky kids voice effort but also her faux Californian accent. Imagine the scene : its that midsummer period where the summer camps are over and its not yet time to go on holidays. You are trying to get boring practical stuff done like gardening and painting. You are returning from a trip to Woodies with the kids, who of course are bored senseless. This ad comes on. Of course the kids in the back seat hear this horrible high pitched fakeness above the monotonous radio drone and pester you to bring them to Aquazone, believing it to be some version of Disneyland on water! You cant quite believe that your kids fell for this cynical advertising ploy and every fibre of your being screams

"No, we are not some cultureless American colony that falls for this s##t!! I will not bring you!!"

But instead you mumble the inevitable "We'll see". The kids take this as a yes and get all excited.

magic_murph

Any ad with a a human voicing over a animal - such as a 'talking dog' as if thats going to entice me to spend money.
95% of all ads on TV are terrible .
