    Judging by the amount of times its been mentioned i think everyones in agreement that this is the most annoying ad at the moment.

    Woke up one morning and the first thing I hear is your man screaming his head off about his printer.

    I nearly put it through the shaggin' wall.:mad: Last thing you want to hear first thing in the morning is roaring and shouting.

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


    Testify.

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

    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 ;)

    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.

    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.

    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. :/

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

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

    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..?

    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*
