No there's not. You can't be slightly pregnant.

Testify.

At least it would make sense if it was a DIY abortion kit.

Rodriquo cardoza must die!

mikeruurds · 26-07-2007 8:05pm

I know it's not a TV ad, but that damn Clearwire ad on the radio does my head in... "I say, have a nice day... you say.. Who's yer man!"

I'm so glad they've changed it.

On a related note( I think) am I the only one who is annoyed by the Centra ad showing all those nice looking happy people doing their shopping and then relaxing on the balcony of an apartment in the sun. Are we meant to think that that represents something you can actually do in Ireland? Where's the rain, umbrellas and drenched bystanders? Rubbish.

That ad was shot in Cape Town. That's why there are no umbrellas

missmatty · 27-07-2007 12:29pm

I thought it sounded like Rodrigo Gandolzo - let's play guess his name! Yeah it's annoyin although i like the other Heneiken ads.

That printer one on the radio though makes me want to kill someone.

zuutroy · 27-07-2007 3:07pm

Its Rodrigo Cardozo. How could ye not know...He says it 50 times!

Revelation Joe · 27-07-2007 3:11pm

That bloody Budweiser ad with the bloke screaming and all his mates go tearing across town
Oh and the guy who opens his can of Guinness and causes an earth tremor. Huh?

I thought I was the only one who hated that ad. It seems to go on for ages too, just to make it even more annoying.

Saruwatari · 28-07-2007 12:33am

All ads are bad, and I'll leave it at that.

aidan_walsh · 28-07-2007 12:38am

There is an Actimel advert that, so far I have only seen in the cinema (but the way cinema advertising is these days I imagine its probably on TV somewhere as well), that I swear to God is longer that some of the movies that follow it.

Davedubh · 31-07-2007 11:56am

That diet coke"do your thing ad".That mexican or whatever he is narater wrecks my head,and it seems to go on for ages.

Yup. The billboards are as bad. "Look at the guy who turned a two week holiday into a year abroad". Wow, he's having his dish of "Turn on, tune in, drop out" served to him on a plate by the coca cola corporation. Wayhay.

mickoneill30 · 01-08-2007 3:21pm

Those weetabix week ads.

"Weetabix & ice cream. Yummy" NOT

Yeah, they are quite crazy! Weetabix with every meal? That would be rather sad.

Barbeque? i'm there!

super_furry · 01-08-2007 4:07pm

That Rodrigo Cardazo advert winds me up so much, that I vow never to drink Heineken again.

Pigman II · 01-08-2007 7:01pm

Agree with the Rodrigo Carbozo mention. That ad is right down there in the gutter with the usual braindead budweiser offerings.

Pighead · 01-08-2007 7:06pm

Ferrero Rocher ads always got on Pigheads goat. There I was looking down the back of the sofa trying to scrape together 50p for a pint of milk and a bag of chickatees when these posh snooty fcukers came on telly with their perfect hair and badly dubbed words thanking the lord of the manor for his lovely chocolates. Thankfully those ads are no more.

Totally agree. They seem to be trying to hide the reason you use the stuff in the first place.

Anything from Cillit Bang still gets on me nerves, that Barry Scott needs to be taken out and shot lol.

Whats wrong with Barry Scott and his fcuking loud voice, does me head in. I thought it was clit bang for a while until I seen it in the shops. Who dreamed up the name to..?

Borderfox · 01-08-2007 7:38pm

One more, the ad with the people in the car without the seatbelt. The copper at the end says the one without the belt did all the damage. What about the friggin car that hit them on the wrong side of the road and then the one that lashed into the back of them. I ****ing hate that bullshi*

Yeah. All we need for North Korea to chill out is to hand Kim Il Jong an enticing display of Ferrero Rocher on a plate...

Finally, someone feels my pain

The loudmouth on the bus roof for coke as well, someone should burn their advertising department alive in acid.

Ring ring ring bananaphone makes me doubt humanity.

Not a tv ad, but there was one played last time i was at the flicks before Hostel II for a sexual abuse charity or something? Im all for the cause but come on, the ****ing ad goes on for a minimum of two minutes. If you had a girl with you you wouldnt know where to look (however, in this case it was the lads. To break uncomfortable silence during ad, please proceed to bringing up a related issue by reminding friend with "AHAHAHA!!!!! You should call them for what (insert fat girls name) did to you when you were locked at (insert location) "

any of the Special K ads - do my head in

that really is an appalling ad........

03-08-2007 5:15pm

Head and shoulders ad with Mickey the gob****e. Does my head in every time.

EdgarAllenPoo · 03-08-2007 7:31pm

The hair gel ad which is set in China. Using communism to sell hair gel = classy.

lukin · 04-08-2007 9:03pm

That West Coast Cooler one where the three wans are getting ready to go out.

tSubh Dearg · 04-08-2007 10:06pm

Isn't that ad with the girly screaming man for Fosters rather than Bud? Just shows how bad their ad is. I have to mute it whenever it's on.

In fact I don't like any of the ads for alcohol at the moment, is this some sort of plot to put us off it?

Mark Hamill · 05-08-2007 5:22pm

I hate that ad with the cat and the dog talking about what to do with SSIA money. I will never take financial advice from a something that licks itself.

Or that ad with the CGI fox who pretends to be a dog to get ham or something.

That new meteor ad with Joe Dolan ("is it "Oh me, oh my" or "Oh my, oh me?")

Those ads with all those women complaining about how hard it is to get food thats good for you.

I can't think of any more because I've blocked them out

I despise most if not all adds currently showing. Has anybody noticed that the volume of the adds (the sound level) is always a fair bit higher than the show your currently watching...ya have to lower them down constantly then back up when your show comes back on argh!

AFAIK, the ads are played at the allowed volume and the shows are shown at a lower volume because it's illegal to play ads too loud.

Mikosyko · 05-08-2007 11:00pm

I wish they would limit all ads to 30 seconds....:mad:

Oliverdog · 06-08-2007 1:25pm

Haven't seen this one in Ireland yet but watch out from the UK for an ad involving a number of not-too-bad looking women around a table discussing the benefits of 'stool-softener"
I don't know the brand - I had the cushions over my head by this time. :eek:

It's knocked the one with the Oriental kid on the toilet clean out of my top 5.

pepper · 06-08-2007 3:41pm

Rodrigo Cardoso!!!!!!!! that pisses me of so much

and dont start me on the "Its all gone" one for the toilet freshiner- he cant get off the toilet to tell his mother the things empty but he will get **** all over the floor in order to shove a note under the door

And why is he chinese and his mothers not

Subliminal messages promoting adoption me thinks!:D

Sonnenblumen · 06-08-2007 4:04pm

Hate all those 1850.... sponsor a .....charity ads.

Oliverdog · 06-08-2007 4:33pm

And another thing ...

What if stool-softener woman or the Oriental what-a-stink kid become TV stars in years to come, and Pat Kenny or somebody asks them how they started out or got their big break? What are they going to say then? Eh? Eh?

It really doesn't bear thinking about.

cashback · 06-08-2007 8:26pm

I've only just thought of the ad I despise most.
It really has to be the one for Lyric FM with that absolute knob in his convertible and the guard coming up to him on the motorbike.

He has a very punchable face.

Mikosyko · 13-08-2007 8:32pm

Guess who's back?? :mad:

Wertz · 13-08-2007 8:54pm

"Return of the liquidator"

Sorry but that poxy coke ad with the nokia ringtone is still top of my most hated list.

toothie · 13-08-2007 11:33pm

The ad that drives me absolutely crazy has to be that air freshener one with the little boy in the toilet saying "It's all gone, it's all gone..." Makes me really mad, I hate it! :eek:

missingtime · 14-08-2007 3:46pm

The comfort or lenor ads with the characters looking like clothes or whatever. Really really annoy me - especially the regge one

14-08-2007 3:48pm

The Miller ad with the tosser on roller skates.:mad:

The ad with those northern gob****es camping.Their wild overacting when their tent blows away is particulerly grating.

SprostonGreen · 29-08-2007 11:25pm

Crunchy nut cornflakes. The one where the twat refuses a lift to two beautiful girls because they might eat his cereal. That alone annoys but he pull this Ardal O'Hanlonesque face that pi sses me off, what a kunt.

The Budweiser ad with "answer the call". They're meant to be in some american city yet I swear I hear a northern Irish accent and another Irish accent in the middle of it. It's just a **** effort at those miller ads, especially the one where yer man was cycling down the hill.

It's not filmed in an american city, it's Wellington, New Zealand.

F it I hate them all :mad:

(Except that car ad where he's using the car as a skateboard.. that's ok

)
