That Aldi ad with Paul O'Connell and the little rugrat doing the running commentary. That kid needs to drink a big cup of STFU.

The broadband adds:

1. 'We've become the binge watchers. The secret episode viewers. The...' - no 'we' haven't. You have, you group-thinking twat.

2. Girl to boy in bath watching a show on laptop: *in the most frustratingly subservient, doormat, little mouse, Corkonian tone of voice* '.. you've been in there ages..', 'Are you going to be much longer?'.

Both grind my gears to the point I think an eternal sleep seems more appealing than having to watch those 'aren't we hip' ads once more.

I personally think the subservient corkonian is adorable. Less of yer man in the bath would be nice though.

Do people really bring their tablet into the bathroom with them? I bring my phone but I'd be afraid the steam might damage the tablet.

with the inflection in her voice it sounds like she is talking to a 4 year old girl, who might be stuck on the toilet or something, not a 40+ year old man in the jacks with a pig.

The vodafone "Moist Granny" is still by far the most questionable character though...

I always wondered about the chill insurance one where the woman in the couple in the restaurant dangles car keys and says 'cheaper car insurance' despite having two classes of wine in front of them

madmaggie · 19-02-2017 12:24am

I think it's an ad for a bank, two hipster eejits dancing around a living room decorated with horrible retro 70s wallpaper. I saw that paper first time round, and it was horrible then.

The inflection in her voice is demonstrating that he has been in there for ages, which makes sense if he is watching Saw 3 or whatever on his tablet. I don't know how long the average bath takes but 2 hours seems excessive to me.

Yes, she's doing that, or being passive aggressive. It's boiling my blood thinking about it.

Who uses the phone or tablet in the bath or near anything wet, I don't trust it even if they're "waterproof". I'm talking about the vodafone ad of course, why does he lock the bathroom has she not seen his mickey yet or what.

The elderly couple who have paid off their mortgage in Dingle (I looked it up). I'm meant to be happy or something but I just feel sad they've spent their working lives and more in debt.

Thargor · 20-02-2017 8:45pm

The way he looks at the pig after shushing it is so weird. That whole Vodafone pig storyline has to be one of the most horrible and offputting ad campaigns of recent times.

Then again just as /i type this the fecking "Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar, number one stole the cookies from the cookie jar... comes on! AAAARGH!!! And still I cant remember what product its advertising.

At least they seem to have finally killed off "Its my brain, tell me what Im gonna do, Im gonna suck it, right straight to you..."

The point is, he's secret watching the next episode of a show him and her watch because he can't bear to wait any longer. This of course appeals to those who do this, i.e. no one.

It reminds me of going to Aldi and from time to time they sell a cookie jar that has a voice and when you open the lid it says "Step away from the cookie jar", it's mildly amusing at first but try it after you have been in Aldi for half an hour and you have heard it over a hundred times.

Just as well I switched to 3 last year.

Not strictly an advert - but the amount of times TV3 are promoting their version of Gogglebox, you'd think they were making it out to be the greatest TV show in the world...

Seriously imagine it was a young girl and it was a bunch of oul fellas answering the door like.

Yeah but blatant sexual objectification of men is perfectly fine here in 2017. Theres a toilet cleaner ad where a fireman calls to a womans house and she melts in front of him and then panics when he asks to use her loo, which is strange because as we know women poop rose petals.

The AIB ad with the yank and her Irish husband...unbelievably patronising.."we knew it was going to work"etc....it's not as if many more besides in more recent years in similar circumstances "knew it was going to work" too..but that very bank (and others)wouldn't give over the bleeding mortgage money..

optogirl · 23-02-2017 8:42am

it's like the banks don't realise they are not lending. All bank ads are like 'lads, we're only dying to hand over cash to you. Why don't ye ask?'

I think if you can pay massive rent you should be considered eligible to repay a mortgage. Sadly that's not how it works

Hmmm...

I'm supposing you're come from the point of view that if you're paying massive rent you can't afford to save a massive deposit - true enough for most.

However, the banks do take into account rent being paid at present when calculating your ability to repay a mortgage.

I can understand the frustration but speaking from first hand experience you would be amazed the difference even a few extra percentage points worth of deposit available makes to the overall repayment cost of a mortgage.

The bigger the deposit the better for everyone. Banks and borrower.

It's not really for the Central Bank or Banks themselves to make allowances for our failed rental sector by allowing up to 100% mortgages.

I'd love to be offered a 100% mortgage. Im going to be nearing retirement by the time I save 30k+ for a deposit while at the same time paying 1300 a month in rent. It really irritates me they wont take my current rent payments into consideration if I were to apply for a mortgage.

Put it this way, Im in this apartment for 4 years. 1300 a month by 12 months by 4 years is 62,400 euros. If I'd gotten a 300k mortgage instead of renting this place, I'd have paid off a 5th of it by now.

However, the banks do take into account rent being paid at present when calculating your ability to repay a mortgage.

I still need a 10% deposit which for a modest starter home of 300k is 30,000.

No, you wouldn't. A 300k mortgage at current best interest rates over a short term of 20 years still costs you 402,720. You'd have paid off less than a sixth of it. And more realistically it'd be likely to be a 30 year mortgage monthly payment of 1,280 (keeping relative parity with your current monthly payments), for a total cost of 461,160. You'd have a seventh of it paid. Don't forget how much interest changes things.

But I completely understand your frustration and know exactly what you're saying, as I'm in deposit saving mode myself.

Anyway.....

I can't stand the VHI ads with the kiwi guy, or any of the VHI or LAYA ads, they really bother me!
