Fairly sure it's Emirates not Etihad lads.

Spent a lot of today on the Rte player. I don't understand the Tesco ad with the kid and the letter. It doesn't make me want to go to Tesco. You barely know it's Tesco except for the logo at the end. And that caffeine shampoo ad with your one from fifth gear. Hate it.

The cheeseiest ad I have ever seen is running on ITV3. The one where older folk are encouraged to phone up to enquire about life insurance and 'get a free pen'. The old dears in the ad are over the moon about this pen, endorsed by Michael Parkinson. Absolute patronising s***e.

Been off work lately following surgery and not being very mobile watch some of the dreaded daytime TV. I never realised how many awful patronising ads are on targetted at the older age group. If I see another ad offering funeral costs insurance I'll scream.

Kid in the Aldi ad with Paul O Connell takes the most annoying kid in an ad crown from the one in the AIB or BOI one :mad:

I blame the parents.

I'm fairly sure the dad in that ad even thinks the young lad is a complete tool. Gives him a couple of scorpy looks when he's talking bag at the breakfast table and again walking from the car.

To some, this might seem like a weird reason to hate an ad, but I cringe during Santander's latest UK ad showing Jenson Button picking out "Speedline Racer 2016" for Mr. Average Joe in a video game shop. Seriously, not one person on their advertising department could think of a better name for a racing game than bloody "Speedline Racer"?!

madmaggie · 20-11-2016 1:01am

I don't know if this counts as an ad, but the trailer for the toy show is really wrecking my head. Tubridy is bad enough, but "cute" kid voice at the end drives me insane.

Christ that Samsung VR ad. 'Ive got something right here for you'.... Christ above. With Samsungs recent record the phone would probably explode and burn your eyes right out of their sockets

It must be the same ad I was only half watching over the weekend where someone is picking out a game. One of the other ones on the shelf is "Kickball 9"

The Tesco ads with the letters, 'tanks mam for the stuffing' annoy me. I don't even know or care why these people are writing letters or how it relates to Tesco.

Exactly. It's a cynical ploy to use Christmas to make these guys looks like soft, cuddly companies instead of viewing people as cash cows.

Worse is the Dunnes Xmas Ad. I keep waiting for Republic of Telly to do a X rated parody of it.

"He walked through the streets looking in all the windows and never had he felt such joy before. John was new to voyeurism but it gave him a real thrill. There was Biddy O'SUllivan in her pink frillies. And Tina Murphy trying on her christmas knickers.."

I exagerate a bit, but a guy feeling "immense joy" from looking in the windows is a bit creepy.

"Thank you Grandad for this basic necessity of heat that my failure of a father couldn't provide".

Yes, I was less than overjoyed to see that creepy ad return.

castletownman · 23-11-2016 12:28am

The ad for the new Gaiety Panto.

The "this is no owdinawy panto...." tag line is bad enough, but the Nanny Knickerbocker Gloria "rhyming" intro is without doubt the most irritating part of any advert on either telly or radio at present.

So I created the original Adverts you Despise thread back in 2007, it's now 2016 and we're on Thread #2 and more than 10,000 despised adverts. Do I get a prize or something? I accept bitcoin.

Also I haven't posted on the thread in a long time. But, I've been streaming a lot of football from American channels over the past couple of years and our adverts have nothing on what's shown over there. Some utter dross.

Anyone recognise this guy?

That ad for the Late Late Toy Show is highly irritating. Tubridy looking like a creep and loads of stage school children. All that was missing was jazz hands. It is then finished off with an annoying squeaky childs voice.

ligerdub · 25-11-2016 10:24am

"In just a few days time, this will be like a magic kingdom" forced smile of excitement, montage of him hugging kids.....disingenuous to the nth degree.

Auld Jim Halpin · 26-11-2016 2:21am

This rubbish, Mentos advert,seen it twice and hate it, who comes up this nonsense. It's like the kids in the ad also actually run the marketing company that made it.

Back on topic; I see that Maltesers ad has resurfaced. The one with the blonde giving the bf the push because she saw him kissing a.n.other outside the office. What's with the bloody stupid high pitched voice? Dogs must go mental when it comes on.

Theres a really smug new Lynx ad where the first thing it asks is something like "Who needs looks when you've got the nose"??? and the actor they chose for that seems to be Abed from community? Its bizarre.

Eir that horrendous cretinous company trying to stir up some sort of patriotic Irish pride with that truly annoying song feels like an exercise of patronising pulling the wool over the eyesery on some unsuspecting easily impressionable people. Can't stand their ads. They're still that awful Eircom under that flashy brand revamped bonnet

Again if the roles were reversed there would be outrage but the media have the males as dopes and females as super hero multitaskers stereotyped to a tee..

Jimmy Garlic · 30-11-2016 4:37pm

Those stupid golf ads with the bearded fella going around trying to be funny, pure trash.

johnnyskeleton · 30-11-2016 10:59pm

An ad for catfood where the guy is in flagrante with a lady, catches the eye of a cat (his cat, her cat, random street cat - not clear). Then a love song kicks in and he ditches the lady, and moves towards the cat spellbound to give it some catfood, with his pants around his ankles.

It also brings to mind this horrid Airwaves ad:
