Has there ever been a good Lotto ad? All very irritating from the one mentioned to the auld wan and her dog and the new very tiresome island ones.

Ehh, the Elvis one and the rainbows on the Liffey is pretty good, nice summer imagery and good song

How long has that ad been on now? It refuses to die. Even the seemingly immortal Muller Rice bear went before she did.

Ahhh did you not like the Muller Rice Bear, he made a fairly strong argument for rice pudding and he had some dazzling foot work, and a Trumpish hairstyle!

How about in German, any better?!

Auld Jim Halpin · 04-01-2017 11:58pm

Worst ads of the year, has to be Bank Of Ireland, not that couple whose names are not to be mentioned, yes they were very annoying but a little amusing too. I am referring to the new ones, the replacement ads. Terrible stuff, and that music, goes right through my head. So cheap, condescending, and trite.

Tom, what a bore

Paul and Jane, pair of ****

Julie and Kian, pair o' twats

And their Christmas ad, puke

Not an advert as such but the current promo for Operation Transformation is just horrendous.

The host (Kathryn Thomas I think?) Is dancing in the most awkward and uncomfortable way I've ever seen.

Its enough to make me wince when it comes on.

Did you notice that she's putting on a bit of weight? Her hips are very wide compared to her waist, more than likely the spandex. Also the contestants are getting bigger and the sob stories more dramatic :mad: It would be interesting to see a rerun of the very first operation transformation as there were no sob stories what so ever only people trying to lose weight. Thomas will be on the scales in another year at the rate she's going, she's also totally wrecked looking and showing her age.

Dude, not cool to go fat shaming anybody, regardless of what you think of them.

Yep, though I have a thick skin I thought it was amazingly insensitive and bound to cause great upset to some people.

People are complaining on their facebook page

https://www.facebook.com/IrishCancerSociety/

Couldn't believe what I was hearing when I first heard them say on the advert "I want cancer". I don't normally take offence to things easily but this advert hit me hard. Having just got over cancer myself, losing my Gran to cancer and my Aunt fighting cancer, and all those children and adults that have been, and still are affected by it, shame on you, it is very insensitive. I totally understand that it is to make it hit you so you remember the advert, and believe me, it has. Not in a positive way though, my heart goes out to people that see this, who has been affected by cancer, trying to enjoy a TV programme and then bang, this comes on, and ruins it all, bringing into our minds what we went through, are going through. Find a different way, this is just so disrespectful. Of course we all want a cure for cancer, but the people it has hit more, are unfortunately the people that are already aware.

This is a hideous campaign. We all want to raise awareness but this is not the way to do it. It is insensitive to everybody who has been diagnosed or who loves/loved somebody who was diagnosed with this horrific disease

Any of the bank ads. Smug, shameless, regardless of the havoc they caused.

All those Muller ads with Nicole skinnynickers where she always falls and gets a perfect blip of the stuff on her nose then she does a silly laugh.
Don't know why but I effin hate them.

r93kaey5p2izun · 06-01-2017 10:36pm

That AIB ad with the irritating couple showing the child their new car. Jesus.

NufcNavan · 06-01-2017 10:50pm

That Volkswagen ad with Baz and his aul one in the rally car.

I wonder did he have to bring the aul one along for the ad because he's still off the road for his drink driving charge.

darkdubh · 07-01-2017 9:49am

I don't know what the hell the ad is for but it features a bunch of clever clogs precocious children of the type so beloved of advertising execs giving out to a succession of adults about something while the theme music from For A Few Dollars More plays on the soundtrack. It came on twice during one ad break and I had to switch it off no way wanted to see it again.

Is it the one for Virgin TV's new box? "We are the masters of entertainment because we are seven." Hideous ad

I absolutely really really REALLY FECKIN HATE that bleedin song for that 123.ie ad.Everything about it-the music,the poncey prettyboy singing etc. makes me mute the telly every time that ad comes on.

IamtheWalrus · 08-01-2017 8:29pm

There's an add where a mother is joking with about 4 children, they're comparing things and a too-confident-for-my-liking 7 year old says 'as something as a man called Steve', where they all laugh. No more please.

I see Aldi have rolled out that green juice/veg advert again, by far the most annoying Irish advert

sunbabe08 · 10-01-2017 11:55pm

the money supermarket advert. i'm half way between wanting to fire my shoe at my laptop. i have to endure this advert once week when i'm watching wrestling live and than there is a part of me that likes it.:o

Pablo7285 · 13-01-2017 5:33pm

That Head & Shoulders ad with the women in front of mirrors.
Especially the shrill squeal when one woman sees her hair and "Gonna pull tonight"

Lisha · 14-01-2017 11:39pm

That ad with the Nana and granddaughter watching the tv is truly horrible.

madmaggie · 14-01-2017 11:42pm

The new ad for a cake bar, I think it's called One Fibre. A complete rip off of the Bonnie Tyler song, hideous.

Gwynplaine · 15-01-2017 9:35pm

The AIB ad where yer wan sees the car outside on the road. She doesn't look in her mirror or her blind spot as she's moving off.
Tut tut tut.

razorblunt · 16-01-2017 10:10am

The WeBuyAnyCar adverts where it's basically saying "yeah they rip you off, but surelookit, be thankful of the quick cash".

FWIW, I bought a new car before Xmas, there was 2k difference between their offer and the trade in value, had I gone private you could add another 300-500 quid on top. That is definitely "worth my time".

Radio5 · 16-01-2017 10:12am

The ad for the Brendan Courtney programme that's on tonight. It mentions care for his 'ageing father'.

In case nobody has noticed, we are all ageing. From the minute we are born. Not just people who are over 50, parents and or/ill.

I know, who thought an ad showing some granny creaming herself over a love scene would be appropriate!! strange ad altogether.

Harry Angstrom · 16-01-2017 3:36pm

Ad for Optilase. Apparently she can now read to her child at bedtime since she got her eyes lasered. Why she couldn't do it previously wearing a pair of glasses is beyond me.

I think we can drop the semantics on that one.

Thargor · 16-01-2017 8:21pm

Do Kinder really sell enough chocolate to justify their constant multi-year repetition of their Godawful ads? Why dont you see other chocolate companies doing this? Their ad budget must be up there with some car companies...

patmac · 16-01-2017 11:46pm

That David Coulthard ad for insurance , where he dresses up and drives a couple of very bad actors who pretend very badly to be really scared, and then get out of the car as the camera crew are running toward them and the guy says 'oh look it's David Coulthard' as if he has a clue who he is and they have a selfie together.
Terribly contrived Shoite.

blueser · 17-01-2017 6:51am

I'm pretty certain it's been mentioned on here before, but it bears another mention. That Tesco Mobile ad; "friend re-queeeest". If I was her boss, I'd be telling her to type up her CV. That screechy voice; it must drive all the dogs in her neighbourhood mental.

castletownman · 18-01-2017 6:59pm

1. That AIB ad where the fella "films" surprising his partner with a new car ("Serious brownie points") He surely done the dirt or something and is making up for it with gifts.

2. SKODA is a Czech brand. I'm fairly sure being suitable for Irish roads never came into consideration when they were first produced.

3. Without coming across as un-PC, but I am surely not the only one slightly disturbed by the Malteasers "disabled people having mad craic and getting promiscuous" campaign?

Its early days in 2017 for thinking worst advert of the year but I think we have a contender in all of those "Sing-The Movie" ads. The one that starts with the pig dressed in yellow doing Lady Gaga-Bad Romance is driving me up the feckin wall. Whoever started the Glee/High School Musical/Frozen genre (and X-Factor)needs a good belt of a shovel for crimes against humanity.

Rah rah ah-ah-ah!
Ro mah ro-mah-mah
Gaga oh-la-la!
Want your bad romance
