Adverts you despise

Royale with Cheese · 03-06-2007 6:14pm #1

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?

Karoma · 03-06-2007 6:20pm

All of them. Those Lynx adverts with the bomchickawahwah **** really gets on my tits... Just clicked upon http://5x5m.com/files/bomchickawahwah/ as I read this post. I hate it even more.

Mikosyko · 03-06-2007 7:19pm

The ad for Zafira with those ****, the ads for picture loans with the aul bag shouting at her family while organising a loan, the ads for bulmers with those awful theme tunes and annoying people looking unrealistic or whatever.
:mad:

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 !

vibrant · 03-06-2007 8:32pm

Any ads that have anything to do with toilets ESPECIALLY the one where the kid is whinging because there is no more air freshener left, so he gets OFF the loo, scribbles a note and passes it under the bathroom door to his mother, who just happens to be standing on the other side of the door waiting to collect it. Ummmmm what?!

Royale with Cheese · 03-06-2007 8:37pm

Yeah, those toilet paper ads which tell you that you need the softest best paper for whiping shít from your ass. They usually involve something soft and cuddly trying to portray the toilet paper is also soft and cuddly. What the fúck are they all about?

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.

Feral Mutant · 03-06-2007 8:46pm

I know I'm not the target audience but this annoys the hell out of me:
"You know, there is such a thing as being a little bit pregnant"
No there's not. You can't be slightly pregnant.

DubDani · 03-06-2007 9:08pm

I hate the Budweiser Ad that you see often in Cineworld. Where the guys wanna go to the BBQ and can't be stopped by anything. When I hear the starting tune I really wanna smash up the cinema. At home I switch straight away.

Haha, never spotted that. Fair play.

I was too obsessed by the way they started off during the initial run of the ad with ginger saying "develop ME management skills" (possibly to appeal to aspirational scumbags?) but then susequently dubbed it to have him say "develop NEW management skills"

Haven't a Clue · 03-06-2007 10:09pm

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.

SprostonGreen · 03-06-2007 11:44pm

Yeah, everyone mentioned I cant stand, generally all ads annoy and I'll
flick to avoid them.

I hate the f*cking Eircoms ads, for TV and radio, "Meet Jane, she is annoyingly bla bla bla, she likes this, she likes that, F*** OFF!"

I hate that nail advert, where the cartoon pulls up the nail to show the infection, seriously we all should complain about that and get it pulled.

Text services ads, that will fleece your kids credit with ringtone or promise to tell you whether you will have a boy or girl, they grate on me.

Yeah yeah, but is it 'Overtired!' or 'Oh, they're tired'? I really need to know.

The Saturday Show on 2FM supposedly contacted the press department of Vauxhall and they said "Overtired"

04-06-2007 2:28pm

The McDonalds ad where the boy comes down the stairs and his mother says whats on your face. He calmly replies I borrowed your moisturiser and she calls him a plank in some horrible accent. Then Mr. Eurovision comes in and give the spas a big hug and a hamburger. I hate that ad!! I'd love if Mr. T came along in his tank and flattened the lot of them.
I also hate the budweiser ad where the guy puts his dog on his head to get into the bar.

More found on satellite/cable channels, but those Sponsor a Dog adverts get on my wick with the voice over supposed to be that of the dog's thoughts "I'm glad they took me in, otherwise I'd be dead" kind of scenario.

Other notable additons include Gillette Fusion, Insurance ads especially that God damned Shielas Wheels ad! AARRGH!

Steve01 · 04-06-2007 3:24pm

How about that new add for road safety awareness that goes on for like 20 minutes. What good will it accomplish other than forcing people to flick over to other channels for longer than they usually would.

tampopo · 04-06-2007 3:46pm

Yeah the cleaner close ads are terrible. I was down in me ma's place last night and one came on...had to sit through it.

The Zafira one aswell. Fekking annoying.

That road safety one. Seen it too often, and can see where it's been photoshopped. Stop it, already.

cashback · 04-06-2007 4:43pm

"This is Eircom Broadband for Jane/Dave/Dickface."
I hate the way they say that. And in one of the ads, they say "jane likes to have more" and then show someone spreading stuff on a bagel that looks absolutley rotten.

The Bud ad where the idiot is screaming in a girls voice. What a brutal ad.

Jesus, yeah. Especially the latter. I can't help but laughing at it due to someone saying to me "it should've been the ****in dog up on trial". Makes me come across as a bastard.

They've made too many of these ads. And they appear to have no lasting effect on people's driving behaviour. Same goes for those ones that tell you how to drive on a motorway etc.

philstar · 04-06-2007 11:41pm

its those bloody (pardon the pun) tampon ads that piss me off, just when i'm tucking into my tea, some chick comes on the telly complaining about how run down she is...but hey presto... by using a woolly shaped bullet she's feelin fine again...and i'm left feelin queasy:rolleyes:

Too right, that smarmy knob Logan needs to be introduced to my good friend PAIIINNN!!!:) This minor comeback he is making is pissing me off.

Worst ad on tv is undoubtedtly the Diet Coke Do Your Thing ads with the Mexican tosser on the voiceover. Its just so ****ing pointless, the whole lot, and I cant believe nobody else mentioned it.

All those really cheaply made ads for furniture or general home goods stores in towns around Dublin (Meath/Kildare/Louth for some reason). What is it, Neville Nott and Fitzpatrick Furniture? Where in the **** they managed to find some guy with an average singing voice who was able to croon "fiiiitzzzpatrick" ad nauseaum without dying of embarrasment Ill never know. Where do they find cheesy ad jingle singers?

The likes of Nike seem to have stopped paying footballers to star in over hyped boring CGI filled gimmicky ads (the last brilliant football ad I recall right now was Brazil for France 98 in the airport, though I think there has been one or two since. But jesus some of the Pepsi and Nike ones in recent years sucked football sized donkey testicles)

Tampon ads are a conversation killer if you and the oul lad are watchin the tv. You would think they could limit their advertising to during womens day time tv or during the Big Brother adbreak (seeing as any man watching BB is of lower intellect/manliness anyway, barring some massive lesbian orgy was the main story in the papers that morning, only then is viewing of that bollix acceptable

)

zuutroy · 05-06-2007 9:01am

*NOYEKS NEWMAN, KITCHENS FLOORS DECKS AND DOORS* not to mention the Coke Zero ad with those Aussie ****heads marching around the place shouting.

Royale with Cheese · 05-06-2007 5:17pm

On a side note...

The Snickers ad with Mr. T is feckin brilliant. I long to see him come along in his tank and crush that stupid Zafira with those fats kids inside. I'm still waiting though...

Ah, but they're stress free, easy, fiiiitzzzzzpatrick. No, that ad bugs the living bejesus out of me too.

05-06-2007 5:44pm

Slightly off forum but has anyone heard the ad for Jim Langan's Furniture on 98FM? The end of it irritates me! "jimlangansfurniture.iEEEHEEE"

05-06-2007 6:54pm

The snickers ad with Mr.T is absolutely class, I would like to introduce him to the tosspot Mark Cagney and his friends at Tallaght ford. Every time I see that POS ad I want to scream.

McSandwich · 05-06-2007 7:26pm

Those Amstel ads really annoy me... I just can't stand the way they end with something like (depending on the theme) "the flood in the amstel tradition" or "troy in the amstel tradition." Bullsh!t, they had nothing to do with your pi$sy beer :mad:

05-06-2007 7:39pm

Yeah those amstel ads are awful.But the crudweiser ads are worse, especially the one where that moron is screaming like a girl and a bunch of morons come running.

Well you have to at least give them credit for knowing who their primary consumer group are.

Kevski · 06-06-2007 1:23pm

I can't stand that one about mortages and all that, where they're all on the bus and one by one they sheepishly stand up and say something like "I don't know what a tracker mortgage is". Then at the end some yoke stands up and says "sorry, what's this ad for?". Ugh what a load of crap.

prospect · 06-06-2007 2:39pm

I have to say I like those Amstel Ads.

One ad I hate witha passion is on the Radio:

1-2-3
dot ie
just log on
and save mon ee

Arrggh shoot them all........

Ah see what happened there was an attempt to latch onto the (thankfully short-lived) infatuation everyone had with Bo Selecta's Michael Jackson "piss-take" (just NOT funny by the way).

Dr. Dre · 13-07-2007 6:03pm

Any WKD ad - especially the one where that teapot is kicking his socks and underwear off like he's playing football.

Note to WKD: stop trying to sell it as a mans drink, when it clearly is NOT.
