    That Insurance 4women ad is directed by Dannan Breathnach. I doubly hate it now.

    Probably mentioned before, but that shagging Vodafone ad with the girl comforting her mate outside a Kodaline gig really gets on my tits.

    For the laugh I just got a quote off insurance4women, putting in all my details apart from name and contact but specifying I'm male.

    They were 100 quid cheaper than what I pay now, which was by far the best rate I got.

    I was looking a 'The making of' the ad on youtube. This guy called Dannan is speaking - I thought I knew his head from somewhere. He used to be a presenter on MTV I think years ago. For some reason I used to get annoyed back in the day whnever I'd see his mug. And now he's 'directing' one of the most stupid ads on TV. Anger... rising slowly.

    You'd need comfort after going through a Kodaline concert. For feck's sake, Kodaline even sounds like a depressant!

    Just saw new Irish Water ad on 3E. :mad:

    What I heard (in a voice that sounds like someone addressing toddlers) was:

    "We're sending you some bullcrap in the post to sign between here and September, so that afterwards, in the face of possible legal challenges, we can claim you signed a contract with us, thereby proving that you requested our phoney baloney services.
    Irish Water, safeguarding plush lifestyles for the corrupt, overpaid and uberrich."

    Can't stand them either, but at least the main guy has a bit of charisma about him (even if the dialogue is horrific). His flatmate on the other hand, creeps me the f*** out. Looks like a really bland reject from a Tim Burton movie as well.

    Car ad with people driving around dancing and singing out of tune. Great idea driving through a city with your eyes shut while you wail and squawk.

    Probably the worst such ad is the one from a few years back for the Suzuki Grand Vitara, in which everyone is "singing" Joey Ramone's rocked-up cover of 'What A Wonderful World'... *shudder*

    Probably mentioned already but that annoying ad for Three Ireland, "Three Little Words", featuring the couple going through their various relationships phases is practically nauseating, combined with the fact that the actress has a face like a bloated mushroom and the narrator who sounds like his balls have been caught in a vice just gets on my nerves. I hit the mute button when that ad comes on......

    I actually quite like that ad... Fair bit of effort went into it in terms of the quality of the filmmaking which is something I always appreciate, it might be a bit naff in terms of the actual content but it's better than that bloody Fixodent one with a awful audio levels.

    It's beyond a year old now but that three ad still makes me want to vomit with rage. You know the one: "Three little words". Voiced by some mono-toned little spanner who sounds like the kind of insufferable gimp who you'd actively avoid standing next to in a nightclub. That ad makes me want to find that chap so I can repeatedly smash his face in with a blunt instrument. Three little words? I've three little words for ya: the last one's "Yourself". The first one's "Go". I'll leave you to figure out the second one.

    And while I'm here, how about that ridiculously inane Heineken ad going about. If I ever find these people, I'll never be able to restrain myself from grabbing a box of bottles and forcefully internally drowning them in Heineken before violently beating them to death with the empty bottles.

    Anyway, I best be off before I burst a vessel.

    *Screams into a pillow*
