Even more adverts you despise

only one I've seen uk NHS

consider yourself aware 😀

The SKY Broadband / SKY TV Ads. How did businesses and consumers cope before SKY broadband ? These Ads are targeted towards consumers over businesses. I wonder how many angry Playstation / XBox customers ring in every day in the UK / Ireland because their SKY TV won't display their beloved video console.

The one with the guy playing the piano, and the guy with the white teeth, girl dressed like a jockey, all singing etc....

I'll be honest, I've no idea who deadly dave is!

Your friends call you ‘Deadly Dave’ cause you once did Thai Chi, They pretend your new teeth hurt their eyes.

They ask you where you finished the derby and is that wallet from 2005.

We don’t care who you are, where you’re from, what you did, it’s all cause we love you!

I know someone who got it when they were 19 or 20, and he had to take it easy for weeks. I'd swear a friend of my brother's got them in national school, but I can't confirm that.

My mum got it years ago, and she thought she'd injured her back. She had the pain of a bone fracture. It took her well over a month to recover. Couldn't sleep in her own bed, she had to sleep in a reclining chair because of the pain.

Apparently there has been a steady increase in younger and younger people getting shingles. Teenagers, people in their early 20s. It correlates to an increasingly more stressful and busy world, apparently. That inability to 'switch off' that used to be far easier in times gone by.

But.... you can get chickenpox from someone who has Shingles. I love that the word Pox is still current. It's so medieval. A Pox on Thee!!!

Like someone previously mentioned, the FBD ad. FBD doesn't stand for "F%!king B@stard D!ckheads" "Fin Boxing Dolphins" etc etc.

The Irish Life ad where the Dad is wondering if his daughter will be the next Katie Taylor or a mongolian wrestler before buying shoes.

Those TV license ads where they give you what isn't the law in Ireland like teaching chickens how to impersonate Frank Sinatra or whatever before telling you buying your TV license is.

You have 15-30 seconds to give the audience three pieces of info:

1. Who you are
2. What you offer
3. Why they should spend their hard earned money on your product or service

Yet there is some "creative" getting paid a shed load of money to spunk 3/4 of the run time of the ad on COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT BULLCRAP!! And they have done this again and again and again!!

Worse still its the only part of the ad you remember, like the fact that they were buying shoes not Irish Life. I had to deliberately focus at the end of the ad to see who had commissioned such dreadful shite despite the fact that I had seen it dozens of times.

To any ad execs who are reading this board for free feedback, you know which agencies did these ads, you know the creatives responsible for this.

Find them and fire their f@cking asses for professional neglect and waste of client and agency resources. Make them homeless, deport them. Execute them. No, thats a bit far maybe, but tie them to a chair and slap them across the face with rotten fish repeatedly until they come to their senses.

Absolute wasters!

I emptied my bladder before breakfast, just after I woke up.

(Am I doing it right?)

Yes ... and you might have to go to the fridge to take out a can of Rockshore that sits next to Kevin the carrot who I got in Aldi earlier that I will have for dinner tomorrow ... all the while missing our next Eurovision winner Deadly Dave followed by Kevin on the ad break !!! ... and while FBD are saying what they stand for and do not stand for ... I have to put the FBD letter on the window to remind me to pay them .... and have to check that scratch card once more before I dump it ... while idiots on screen act the clown to some Beatles imitation song ... and I see a fox on my lawn just as I get out that last can of Orchard Thieves ...

There is no doubt bad ads are memorable ... I remember the Rachel & Steve/Steve & Rachel ads of a few years ago ... everyone was talking about them/laughing at them ... now EBS have a kind of a copy of it ... and that An Post aliens/honours maths ad is another one ... they stick in one's head ... admittedly I would have to check the products often ... and/or others would ... but mention Rachel/Steve, aliens/honours maths, Deadly Dave (I say bring back Chris Doran & Dustin as a duet!! ....), Kevin the Carrot and clowns in plastic castles by the sea .... they'd remember them but not necessarily the product !! ...

And that UPC ad before UPC became Virgin ... with that busker with the ukulele singing some copy of Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire ... not the worst ad but stuck out at the time ... I had to actually look up the product ... remembered the ad but not the product! ..

Anything that mentions "Just Eat"............It's fu*king pathetic.
