Even more adverts you despise

Ha ha, Santa obviously didn't deliver the goods this year! Nerver mind, nothing like a good rant to get rid of Xmas excess.

The radio ad is nice in a 60s sort of way. He's buying the train set for his son though, like his father did all those years before. I actually like the nostalgic memory of the phrase he remembered his father using to express surprise at Santa's choice; "Well, doesn't that bate Banagher". I was transported back to the 60s by this, and the talk of the old men with that Midlands accent and exactly those kind of phrases.

In the end, the protagonist was buying the train set for his son, but really for himself. I still have the Hornby train set I bought in 1990 for my then 9 year old son. I sneak it out now and then.

I don't know what the lyons one is, I mustn't have noticed it. The Barry's tea one with the trainset is iconic, its also from 1994 wyb, that's hitting 30 years.

"You're through to the Pieta Helpline, how can I help you?"

That one on the phone has a spooky smirk as she listens to some distraught soul trying to reach out..... eeriest ad I've seen in years. Makes me hit the mute button every time.

I see the 'Deadly Dave' Rockshore ad has returned, after that bizarre Xmas diversion with Ronan Keating. I can't see myself supping one as a summer thirst quencher anymore, I've no interest in boyzone 'merch', if that's the right expression.

Love that the ‘Gillette, the best a man can get’ tune is back, nice dose of nostalgia

RSA showing the same two jaded ads now for around ten years. Zero effect on road safety at this stage, just annoying viewers.

Could they not be bothered trying something new if they're really interested in promoting driver awareness and safer driving?

I saw Kate Beckinsdale doing a ad for a mobile game now Eva Longoria is also doing for the same game, wow from L'Oréal to a mobile game I never heard of

Radio ad with stupid man and patronising wife. Think its for an eye test or hearing test. No idea what business its advertising.

Reminds me of that awful ad a while ago where the man ate frozen food because - men are stupid - but luckily had a clever wife to save the day. Terrible ads.

Cant stand that ad, they all seem to br turning to dancing and singing in them now.

Ginormous brown trousers gigglybit woman is back, yeay!

Gambling is irresponsible. That's it's attraction. Gobshites.

I know this thread is only focused on adverts we hate. But credit where its due.... this is a pretty good advert from Red Bull.

Have you SEEN the commissions they charge? Revolut is safe from them anyway

another one is the AIB club GAA ad. why on earth are the lads driving down the field in a pick up truck? where are they going? to feed cattle or something ? whats that to do with GAA?why is one of them eating what looks like a chinese meal out of the plastic container in the back seat of said pick up?again i dont get the connection between eating a chinese and driving down the field in a pick up truck with a hurl in back of the truck?? anyone, anyone?

Has anyone seen the Cadbury ad - kid goes into a shop looking for a bar of chocolate for her mother? It's a weird mishmash of Irish and English. The shopkeepers voice is dubbed into an Irish accent but I don't think the child's is. There's also a green phone box that appears and reappears throughout the ad. I can't unsee it now!
