Any and every advert with this excuse for an entertainer in it...

How much have they spent on that campaign, both to film it and the length of time/frequency it runs on primetime slots? Could it still be effective years after it was launched and does the Lotto really need to advertise that much? That ad really pisses me off :mad:

J Mysterio · 30-09-2014 12:29pm

Whats the craic with the new Loreal ad? 'Because everythings better when your naked'. What?! Fùckin stupid.

fussyonion · 30-09-2014 12:32pm

All the Rimmel ads.

They always star Georgia Jagger, big gappy rabbit toothed bint, and EVERY ad starts with "Ready to..(insert word: once it was "Ready to go glam?". Another was "Ready to wake up?".
Every ad starts with "Ready to...?"
NO I'M NOT READY.

And anyway, why are you advertising new mascaras all the time?
Are you trying to say that your previous products are no good anymore, that we should ditch them and buy your new ones?!

Gtfo.

Anyone seen that ad on Setanta Sports, Kreativ Dental Clinic? Jaysus, your one in that gives me the heeby jeebys. Rubbish ad as well :-)

And yet spends her fortune on a fast car and a private jet just for going down to the local shops/post box.

Oh that stupid ad is back, 'Donal...'. I don't know or care what it is for.

You should be.
I hate ALL Northern Ireland ads, especially the Alliance Insurance one with the screeching Chinese bint and the advisor at the end saying "Aaaaaa-lliance Insurace, that's right".
Her accent makes me want to punch myself in the head.

I also despise the road safety ads, too.
It's why I watch ITV all the time now, but no such luck at my parents' who watch UTV.
It's such a depressing TV channel.

Sorry for ranting and my anger is not directed at you.

Speaking of Setanta ads, do they still run the woeful Tec7 one?

McBain11 · 01-10-2014 11:05pm

The Paul O'Connell ad is just awful. The Pepsi ad during the World Cup was painful sh*te.

The meteor ads are bad, but the blonde genius gamer girl is a cracker! Anyone know who she is?

Dub Ste · 02-10-2014 12:53pm

Not sure if these have been mentioned,but there is a series of ads on The Food Network channel for various Samsung products.

The actor who plays the dad in these,well,he just really really REALLY annoys me.

There is just something really irritating about the way he speaks,just does my head in...sorry:mad:

sh1tstirrer · 03-10-2014 1:01am

The new radio ad on farm safety the dead farmers son who supposedly farmed the land with his father. The son has such a pansie annoying voice that he wouldn't have a hope in hell of convincing people that he was a farmer :rolleyes:

2ndcoming · 03-10-2014 10:49am

I can't believe that's Fiona O'Shaughnessy on the AIB ad. I knew the voice was ringing a bell somewhere but I thought she was great in Utopia.

I know she's probably being told to stress the whispery monotone but this is the first ad I've come across that literally makes me dive across the room to the remote to change the channel. It's like an allergic reaction, it makes my skin crawl!

I don't know why we're so bad at advertising in Ireland. Or maybe if the objective is just to annoy people into submission we're actually good at it, I don't know.

There's nothing particularly Irish about it. As someone who watches American sport and is therefore exposed to a truly vast amount of American advertising, I can say with absolute confidence that our ads are no more or less annoying than theirs. We just have a different KIND of annoying.

Be prepared to watch a Geiko ad 600 times during the broadcast!

Americans are generally subtle as a lump hammer though. We're usually a lot closer to the Brits in terms of the output we try and have on TV in general, but it's something that they seem to be able to do fairly well. Take that Muller "Rice, rice, baby" ad for example. It's stupid, yes, but somehow manages to be bearable. It's a fine line obviously. The No Nonsense ones usually get away with it, but they're a bit of a rarity in Irish advertising in that the original concept was at least funny at some stage of development.

I think there's a ploy here, particularly in radio ads, where the voice actor is actually told to mispronounce things or say them in a deliberately annoying way so that it will stick in your head more. Every time I notice it I do make it stick in my head, to actively avoid the company being advertised because of it.

That one thats currently running for the Borstal boy play. Every time it describes Brendan Behan as a 'revolutionary' I feel like puking. Even when he was sober he wasn't revolutionary.

I love that ad, although like anything that's on before every single youtube video, it gets annoying. But it's a great pisstake of the Board Bia ads with that guy rambling on about eggs. Somebody give that guy an egg so he'll shut up.

The two guys asleep on the train... :mad:

Yes, the guys on the train annoy me, they look more like they are being overcome by fumes, than relaxing and sleeping-which I presume is what the ad is supposed to portray.

Tesco Mobile. Mother seems unsure that son will do well in violin recital. Turns out he is a genius.
Does she just zone out every day when he's practising or something

The Nutella ad where all the families are using the chocolate spread in different ways. The way the narrator says the word 'it' really pisses me off.

''Dunk ish''
''Spread ish''

Lord, give me strength.

Vag · 06-10-2014 9:02pm

New Dairy Milk ad (I think) with that guy miming 'yes sir, I can boogie, boogie boogie'. Every time I see it, I make that noise Sideshow Bob makes when he stands on a rake.

Carrs crackers, with that gurning blonde wan lobbing crackers at folks... HATE it!!
UPC busker ad... Just feck off now!
All VHI ads, including the ones with yer man from Pure Mule shoving every syllable through his nostrils...
I think all tv advertising executives need a good boot to head.....
Forgot the AIB heroes ad... Yer one makes giving loans sound like the food porn M&S adverts... There is no reason for breathy sensual type voice over, its a bank!

sunbabe08 · 07-10-2014 9:03pm

the go compare adverts. come back opera singing guy.

mark_79 · 12-10-2014 9:48am

Not so much the ads themselves (although they are s***) but that stupid F***ING song. The c*** singing it sounds like a stroke victim coming out of a coma trying to communicate with the dctors from his hospital bed.

I see the 'Emma' and 'Donal' ads are both back on screen. Pass me a rake quick.
