    I'm stuck at home with a sprain and am totally sick of Trivago, "mam its ahundreh and teeeew", and my new enemy, hello.ie with the dad acting like he's off to a funeral but its actually his daughters wedding (changes black tie to bright one). The gormless look on the daughter's face makes me want to break the TV.

    Jesus that ad. "you're not going to a funeral" is a turn of phrase, in the ad he seems at the start to genuinely believe he's going to a funeral and not a wedding. That would count as a significant warning sign for Alzheimer's, chief. Not sure what they were thinking with that one.

    I have to admit I like the "teenage trainer" one where yer man grabs the carton of milk off him, just because the actor is pretty funny. Apart from that they are beyond useless, didn't even know who it was for until I read this thread.

    There's an ad for curry sauce on at the moment, not sure what brand. I quite like the ad but at the end the guy starts listing things you can add curry sauce too and improve them. Example: chicken and curry sauce = Chicken Curry, chips and curry sauce = Chips Curry!!! Chips Curry????? In what parallel universe are Curry Chips known as Chips Curry?

    Madness Ted.

    (Unless that's the joke and I'm missing it)

    The Nurofen ad where the dubbing is awful. If it's a UK ad, just leave the accent, we do understand English in this country.:mad:

    Imagine the busker was singing the Trivago song :D:D

    What would really work for me would be if he fell face first off the scooter as he goes away. Then I'd consider signing up :D

    Next time you're at a wedding and an old person hilariously comes up to you and says "you're next" you should do the exact same thing to them at next funeral you're at.

    No, nothing further necessary. I wish some companies realised how off putting their ads are.

    The cracker ad with "hunter, gatherer Dad" as the presenter leans into some bloke and imitates eating a cracker with him.

    Least favourites right now have to be:

    1. Meteor American girl
    2. West coast cooler (not in Kansas now)
    3. Upc fibre powered
    4. Trivago
    5. McDonalds shave your chest
    6. Aldi (frosties)
    7. Sky sports €1

    When ever I see an annoying or weird ad I always imagine a bunch of people in a meeting discussing the ad and someone suggesting it as an idea. I mean how someone can even come up with some of these things is beyond me! :p

    Just seen a new Trivago ad. They've dumped the whiney hipster warbling and gone for a more upbeat soundtrack with "whoo hoo" in it. Wonder if it will roll out on Irish TV slots too?

    Everything about it annoys me, the voice on the Asian one, "some preeety cheelingeeng footweeer", the fact that just after they say no to stereotypes and cliches they launch into a list of stereotypes and cliches? The smug nodding at the camera is the worst though.

    Just seen the advert for Walkers new range of chips, "with real ingredients for an authentic taste" which would seem to explain why their regular crisps taste like they're made with unreal ingredients for a chemical taste.
