I actually hate the sponsored by Vodafone thing on the Champions League at the beginning and during ad breaks. Is it supposed to be funny?

Hey look at that. A thread I created is at 11 pages. I'm the shít.

I'm sure it's been said somewhere in the middle but those Jonny Logan McDonalds ads are possibly the worst ads ever to get near a tv station. Abysmal, whoever thought of them is the biggest retard ever to have lived. Also the Heineken memory hotel ads are fairly shíte.

Forget the company name, but the one where there's a Sheila singing about car insurance in her salon. Everytime I see it, I always wonder who would sing about car insurance, and if it's really something you want to put are your CV... then I go slit my wrists...

That ad is pure class. It's so bad you can't get the damn thing out of your head.

I think it's Sheila's Wheels. Really irritating.

I've actually read this whole thread and I can't believe I'm the first to mention those "Better call 11890" ads. I had that stuck in my head for a whole day

Also, add me to the Heiniken hate.

Although, I do love the Zafira kids

Anyway any 1 can track down that focking Harvey Norman tosser & give him a wallop. Aaaaagh why so loud & insane. Should be locked up along with that Bary Scott loser!
& yes am delighted everyone has jumped on the Hating the current Heino campaign - its sooo inane its not cool-just hugely headwrecking.
Really like the current 11850-the 2 guys running around race track @ least I think thats the number!

WindSock · 08-10-2007 5:51pm

The Dominoes pizza ad during the simpsons, where the guy says 'oh where's the phooone or fooood' or something like that.

What was the point in changing eleven eight fifty to one one eight fifty?!

I'm guessing so it matches up with the UK counterparts. Sounds crap though, 1-1-8-5-0 would have suited the song better.

Crubeens · 08-10-2007 11:17pm

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet..but that ad where the guy and girl are sitting on a bench and he pretends that his bottle of coke is ringing. Ridiculous.

Note how her smile is frozen on her face and she totally avoids making eye contact; the girl is terrified. Neither does she go near the coke he hands her - if you look closely enough the coke is purple.

Exit · 08-10-2007 11:40pm

I like that ad too. I think it's kind of sweet actually. Or maybe it's just cos I like the look of the girl.

queencakes · 09-10-2007 1:13pm

The GAA ad where the girl is watching the match and gets so carried away with intensity and passion of the match shouts......................

"Come on Tommy for God's Sake"

Ya right - really gets on my t1ts

Ah the technological wonder that is sky plus where I suffer ads no more.

I hate that christmas starts earlier every year,theres been selection boxes in tesco since the first week of september and now byrnes world of toys are advertising for christmas.

The guy who was in Sex and The City? What a slime-bucket.
Barrys Tea ads piss me right off the way they try to do a soap opera thing - they're embarrassing.

10-10-2007 11:04pm

Thought I'd put this here though its at the other end of the scale.

I like that road safety ad where a couple are at it in a car and he climaxes prematurely. Had me in stitches the way it was presented. Only ever seen it in cinemas though, don't think it would be allowed on television unless someone can prove me wrong?

the bananananana ringtone makes me feel like getting up and dancing, which is annoying

prospect · 16-10-2007 3:41pm

I really really really hate the ads for a chewing gum, where a person dresses in a white outfit and acts like they are fighting tooth decay.

Urrg, even thinking about them is bugging me, I'm off for some tea.

stupid bloody ads.

Jeapy · 28-10-2007 10:11pm

"you missed the boat then"... stupid butter ad. And the other one is just as bad "do they use REAL butter?"
Churchill insurance with the dog "yes"! Hate it!

Johnny Logan. full stop.
:mad:

missingtime · 29-10-2007 1:13pm

The add with the inner child..."Hello"

Really really annoying

Pigman II · 29-10-2007 1:18pm

The eircon ads that use the music from "I Heart Huckabees". Yep they're defo making the list. Clearly scripted by some moron who saw Amelie too many times.

Toto Wolfcastle · 29-10-2007 3:50pm

That Heineken ad that everyone has mentioned....the guy drinks Heineken and the guy in his head deletes his memories. So Heineken causes memory loss???

Also, Johnny Logan McDonalds ad. The guy that has used the girls 'tinted moisturiser'. It's not fecking tinted moisturiser, cos that's like foundation and the guy would notice if he was putting beigey liquid on his face. It's bloody self-tanning moisturiser he has used.

Get it right.....you plank!!

madrab · 29-10-2007 8:10pm

that new aquatech add with the plank of a woman coming home to here green energy home who cant act & is muck ugly

But the mother in that ad is a total yummy mummy!

That Mcdonalds ad where the blokes mates first take the mickey out of him then end up working there because of the great rates opportunities etc , like I cant remember the last time I saw an Irish person working in Mcdonalds !

If it's any consolation, I know the guy (the one taking the piss) in that ad, and he detests it too. Should you ever meet him, be sure to ask if he'd 'like fries with that'.

My god. Every time that Vauxhall Zafira ad comes on with those two stupid fat English kids pretending they're all grown up + talking shíte in general, I just have to scramble around looking for the remote to turn the tv off or hit mute or something. Every time. If I ever somehow meet these kids in real life I'm going to have to bash their faces in. It was bad enough when there was just one ad, but they've turned into a fúcking series.

Anyone else feel the same? Any other adverts that get on your tits?

I'll tell you what ad really sh!tes me to tears is that Dominos pizza ad at the ad-breaks for the Simpsons when your man goes "oh where's the phone" in a really annoying english whinge.

My latest one is the weetabix ad with the horrible D4 kiddy dubbing over the original voiceovers.

He says something like 'cailín bothair bainne!', basically he's just yelling random crap out in Irish to impress foreign girls who can't speak it at all.
