Even more adverts you despise

Who thought that dozens of flashing, fast moving images would make a good advert? It hurt my eyes!

The minor gaa advert is the "being driven to the match...by your ma" ad -hear it a lot on radio (where it's equally annoying)

I don't actually know who it's for, but it's the one with the lad with the silly haircut, being driven to the biggest game of his life by his mam

Of course, who can forget Barry’s Tea and Kerrygold “horse to France” But some modern advertisers have decided Irritating = Memorable and the marketeers are very likely studying this very forum.

There are certain ads in the 'remote lunge' category that you have to mute or change channel until they're gone. If the remote is critically out of reach, requiring you to stand up, (not an option), close your eyes and cup your ears and chant for the twenty odd seconds. Ads with subliminal woke messages particularly, I feel old and cancelled just by viewing them, and can't remember what product was being pushed.

My current hate is the 70+ granny looking up 3rd level courses on interior design after she's signed her house over to a vulture fund. You can forget flowers on your grave when your kids find out.

Here's a boot through screen one that boils me. Neanderthal depths of moronity, it actually mocks it's target audience for their bovine stupidity.

It's a Sky TV ad, where the suitably PC diverse couple flop onto the sofa, the apparent male endowed half declaring, 'the kids have gone down". The other half waves the remote, grunting. "Quick, what are we watching ?", a decision obviously past her/they/its intellect. The first then grasps the remote confidently, and in an assured and dominant voice, (manfully?) declares, "I've got this!". He then, you would expect, makes a careful curated program choice, intellectually suitable, entertaining, and stimulating for our gen Y pair, but no; Clutching the remote like a totem, he repeats her original request and asks the f**king REMOTE, " What shall we watch?" After that I lost it. The world is doomed. It's the compliant expression of complete vacancy on his face that does it. Nothing behind the eyes. Emptiness. 'Please Sky, plastic electronic marketing algorithm, fill our empty heads with whatever utter shyte you deem appropriate to our pigeon holed social media profile'. And that's an insult to pigeon's holes.

Annoying ads are very easy to remember ... all them lotto ads ... that Rockshore ad with Barry and his knitted dolls of his friends ... those FBD ads ... and the Rachel & Steve/Steve and Rachel ads of a few years back ... not to mention those noisy OTT Brady's ham (+Covid!!) and No Nonsense ads ... anything overdone or silly sticks out for sure ... Ryan Tubridy's more hyper Late Late Shows are proof of that too !!

That strawberry geek pontificating about how to correctly pull the fruit off the stem.

Smug git.

The sky and - “. Using the remote control to make a choice for you.

Pityful stuff

Petrol station dairy milk ad.

Aviva should sack their one trick ponies who are still flogging that stupid one word that somewhat rhymes with aviva, now how long?? Please, it's no longer amusing, it's just annoying on every fking level. They must be actually losing customers at this stage!

I don't despise that ad. Its got good production, a "story", they are good actors and the father has a very attractive Michael Keaton thing going on.

Worryingly a bar of Cadbury's chocolate that size is about €5, (soo maybe more than the price of the fuel he has just bought) and I doubt any body conscious young woman would thank you for buying her a bar of chocolate, that size anyway.

Budweiser frogs and I've now got the 3 of them saying it stuck in my head.

The M&S ad farm to food hall. Nuke the smary gits.

I like that image. A crowd of young wans running around a pitch on a rocky hillside, a pint of Rockshore in one hand and an ATM card in the other, while on the sidelines the fans furiously tap their debit cards on a mobile Paddy Power terminal. Then yer wan with the ball scissor kicks a goal while holding her (insert phone company) mobile and live streaming to Sky.

Where's Apres Match when you need them.

The new Tesco ad with the american accent saying cut. I know what of the body I would cut off I I got near them.
