    This is not the thread you're looking for, but I agree that was a great ad. :D

    Not a TV ad but one recently from Bord Gais or some crowd on the radio about getting a refund and this bimbo sounding teenager saying they can use the discount for her "summer going away with the girls fund".

    Don't know why but so many ad's these days just seem to be full of shallow sounding airheads.

    Andrex ad where the kids are describing their cleanliness.

    "Like a washed potato" "Like shiny sparkly stars"
    The most obnoxious weird children.

    Married couple are viewing house with a (male) estate agent. The missus (sexy blonde, obvs) is very impressed by the fantastic Triton shower. Hubby and the estate agent then walk into the bathroom to find she's stripped off to have a go right there and then. Confused husband covers estate agent's eyes with his hand.
    Whole thing looks like it was lifted out of a 70's sex comedy.


    First noticed it yesterday but it's been around for a while it seems.

    That can't be a Triton shower, it doesn't have a Maynooth Shower Centre sticker on it

    Plus the puppy only makes a token appearance at the very end. :(

    The ad below is ten thousand trillion times better. And that's not an exaggeration.

    The Vanish 'Tip Exchange'. I mean how many possible ways could there be to put stain remover on?

    Also the Prepay Power.ie ads. Horrendous.

    There's two things above all else that I hate in that ad:
    1. The people in the videos. They look like the sort who would misappropriate memes, e.g. Minions with captions like "if u cant handle me at my worst u dont deserve me at my best". 'Telpis if they ever discover /r/montageparodies.
    2. The song in the ad. It's just some bint who blurts "CONVERSHAWWWN" and then there's some generic guitar riffs.

    The M & Ms ad where they don't want to get into the bowl so they can be eaten. Seriously who comes up with an ad featuring food that is essentially begging for it's life?

    Sorry if it's been mentioned already, but the ad for Boots NO.7 Advanced Serum where they catch up with the women who tried it a year ago.

    Stupid smiley women who are getting EMOTIONAL looking at their own faces, and hugging each other like long-lost friends when they meet on the TV shoot.

    And the black woman with the curly hair style that looks RIDICULOUS and the blonde woman who laughs her words.
    Cringey and awful.

    The Marisota ad where women are given new outfits and then ta-da! They have to see themselves in the mirror and one woman is CRYING.

    The Tampax ad with "Mother Nature"; I don't know where to put my face when I have guests round!
    "I brought you a little gift!", she snarls in her witchy voice..
    (The ad woman, not my guest).

    Yah that looks disgusting as well. If I wanted disgusting quinoa I'd cook it, and I presumably wouldn't want rice. If I want delicious rice, I don't want to ruin it with scuzzy quinoa

    Anytime I hear music like that, I have to stop and think to myself

    "How does **** like that a) get made, b) get the go ahead c) be funded"

    That song was played 1,000 times a day when it was released. It was head wrecking.
    I felt sick at the end of that year whenever I heard it. I thought everyone was the same, I never thought for one second that anyone could ever even think of making it into a repetitive ad.. :mad::mad::mad:
    (song is Paul Johnson - Get Get Down BTW)

    **************************************

    The Corsodyl Mouthwash ad.. It's not that I hate it, but it's .... odd.

    "For people who's gums bleed when they brush their teeth."

    Not sure if I'd be rushing out to by a bottle of that.

    The 2 detestable Americans they used for it aswell. "I could go for a snack..." and her meek little husband sounds confused then goes to get it, who asks for food like that? :mad:

    Vodafone brought back their san-ban-boon-wa 5GB ad, so many crappy ads reappearing at the minute but this one particularly annoys me because its such a crap product they're offering. Top up by 20 euro and have them instantly confiscate 10 euro credit for a measly 5GB of data that wouldn't last me a day, then have them gouge you on texts and calls and everything else.

    Top up by 20 with 3, you get truly unlimited 4g, free texts free weekend calls and you get to keep your 20 euro credit.

    Their latest advert's dubbing effort really cringy. The little girl's Irish accent turns into what could be a Scouse (Liverpool or Northern England) accent for a few seconds and then switches back again :o
