Barney the dinosaur (for obvious reasons !!!!!)

and

the sunday game! (We all saw the chain to bring it back, who signed it ?)

Stephen

Any "reality" show irritates the crap out of me, its about time they gave it a rest with all that $hit. Ant and Dec must die.

Monty - the one and only

Do people even check to see if theres other boards anymore that may be more suitable to the topic, thier posting....

I think he means the version on the radio which just has about 6 recordings of yer one saying "because the trees we use...." over each other. That is definitly the most annoying ad around right now.

Any ad that ends with 'terms and conditions apply, regulated by the central bank of thieving bas*erds regulatory authority, past performance may not be a reliable guide to future returns, subject to status and a whole load of other bollox' etc, etc, all spoken at 90 miles and hour but still taking up more air-time than the ad itself. Especially Permenant TSB ads (Brian Kennedy, grrrrr :mad: )

Also the tampon ad where the guy runs out of the jacks because a moth flies in. What a pussy :rolleyes:

The most annoying TV programme: Home and Away, such a truely awfull show. Not in the least bit entertaining and just make you want to hurl abuse at the muppets on the screen. Not that I watch it much or anything, my mother always has it on anytime I'm home and I normally just leave the room, unless eating dinner or something.

Everything on Nickelodian, ads, shows, the lot.

Hydromonkey

That cheesestrings ad with the calalcium deficiency, oh and any ad that mentions so called friendly bacteria. . . . . . aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

On a side note actimel is advertised more than any other product in ireland at the moment, or so says my marketing lecturer

Harry2001

The Coca Cola ad with the woman warbling and walking is too annoying for words and probably means I’ll never buy coca cola again

What about ads on the radio - jesus what evil bastard comes up with them?

The Harvey Norman one means a race for a off switch :mad: plus too many more terrible ones to mention

tk123

OH OH I got one - has anyone seen that add - i think its for fireplaces and theres these 2 eeejits dressed up as caveman & woman!!
and....
That one for yogurt and the kid is supposed to look like Harry Potter..Hell make that yogurt ads in general...!

As for tv shows
Stargate - my dad always watches it - my mother refers to it as "they one where they jump through space"
and
Hearbeat/The Royal aka Heartbeat hospital - its been on for about 15 years so how can it still be the 60s?!?!?!

They might be moving to the bbc, Maybe they are getting fed up of the shít ITV makes and they want to get some serious/different stuff in the BEEB

I hate it on sky when they are advertising an upcoming program but they how the ad for it like 2 times per interval, I mean how bloody annoying is that

Stark

I think it was a mosquito. And if a mosquito flew near me while I had my lad out taking a pee I'd panic too.

Everything on Nickelodian, ads, shows, the lot.

Agreed, what happened to classic action adventure viewing for kids?

That yoghurt ad - "come on darling, between the legs". Looks so dodgy. Wouldn't be too bad if his daughters head didn't keep rubbing off his crotch every time. Thank god the pervert got it in the balls.

Pretty sure it's a moth :dunno: moving too slow to be a mosquito. Anyway, it's still an annoying ad.

i had the misfortune of seeing that! what a wánker! what was with all the plastic insects in the jacks??? tosser!


oh and i hate those ads for that petrol station.....not sure which one but it has some scandanavian guy on it. i think the motto is "fair play" or something. wrecks my head!

and pretty much any advert that makes having ur period look like a barrel of fúcking laughs! (men have to be behind those advertising campaigns!)

l3rian

most tv is complete trash

i used to just mute ads but now i turn off the tv

if i really like a show like the sopranos or futurama, id prefer to get the dvd box set

3 ads that i really hate at the moment are:

the nivea ad with the little **** opening the fridge for yer wan
hate it

ringtone ads (seen mainly on MTV)
hate them

that slendertone thing with yer wan telling how great they are. so good she was wearing one doing the ad but not good enough to keep your mouth in sync with the pictures
dumbass

ah miss Pat Stark-MURPHY......blatant attempt to "relate to irish audiences?" me thinks so! its quite amusing really!

opthrcks

Bank of Ireland mortgage ad:
"Please don't let them be up...."

Annoys me like crazy.

==
Ringtone ads, but especially the ones asking
'Living in Oireland?'

==
"I'm lovin it!" ads

I'm not

==
Dell ad with guy playing card game.

What were they going for here? Irony?

Ah yes "the latest craze that's sweeping the nation" woooosh, look at it go sweeping by

Just heard a really annoying ad on the radio now, something about "oh what a night" in the point, or some such. Has lots of really annoying public saying how great it is, ends with some beatch moaning 'oh what a night' in a really irritating voice.

TCamen

Ad-- that one with the ugly, goofy guy in the office building, debating if he'll let the woman give him a lift home, and then he wants the lift in the end, and she doesn't offer? It's some banking ad about loans or summat. Utter crap

Ditto with the McDonalds stuff, esp. the kid ones.
Oh and TV3 ads for Sex & the City. It's ****ing over, deal with it! :mad:

TV Shows -- anything made by Sky One.

Think so. The glowing red light is presumably supposed to remind us of HAL in 2001.

(That's the evil Pierce Brosnan house in the Simpsons for kiddies who don't get to the movies much)

Ironically of course, it's hard to get a PC of any kind from anywhere that isn't ridiculously overspecced for the avid Solitaire player these days. Maybe the guy in the advert runs a bulk CD piracy operation and just plays Solitaire while he waits for the CDs to burn.

In which case he may not have "ever bought more than you need"

TV Shows -- anything made by Sky One

Totally agree. Usually has a name like "Drunken scum uncovered in Ibiza 3 - Exposed!"
Generally has one idiot shouting "I'm mad me!"
And of course Sky will show an ad for it about 20 times as hour (or so it sometimes feels like).

hamsterboy

Two Words!

SOAP OPERAS

How much longer must we suffer these pointless shows full of talentless actors pretending to be normal people.
If I wanted to hear about normal people I'd talk to another real person instead of sitting on my arse staring at a bunch of so called "soap stars".
They have been growing in popularity (and regularity) for too long and I think it's time we said "ENOUGH". They are the reason why untold numbers of people have no lives, as doing something after work would make them miss "corrie" or some other crap.

Revolt now people, while there still is enough of us to do so.

p.s. The ad for the Kinder Hippos makes me want to kill loads of people!

matrim

Usually has a name like "Drunken scum uncovered in Ibiza 3 - Exposed!"

And of course Sky will show an ad for it about 20 times as hour (or so it sometimes feels like).

Agreed, they have to be the worst shows on tv.

For ad's, I hate that milk ad

"When is a large number exactly the same as a small number? Don't believe me."

You didn't even answer the question, whats not to believe.

The Real B-man

1)them bones them bones need calicum
2)the kinder hippo add freaky ****er
3)all actimel kids yogurts, in general
4)mac donalds ads Jason!!
5)Rolo ads
6)personal injury,morgage,finance ads:mad:
7)comfort fast dry ads
8)lotto ads
9) new iron bru ad
10)stira folding attic stairs!

Pigman II

TV
==
None - I use Digiguide so the tv's never on unless it's something I've already planned to watch! True Zen-like bliss in so far as TV can be


Ad's
====
All (1) Car / (2) Beer / (3) Mobile Phone ads.

Am I going mad or are these the only three products that are allowed to be screened in Dublin cinemas? Is this perhaps all that people who go to cinemas want out of life?

And isn't it truely ironic that the two of worst things to use in conjunction with a car ARE beer and mobile phones?

Töpher

Everything on Nickelodian, ads, shows, the lot.

Except for Invader Zim! They still show it early in the morning on the weekend, bit useless with the like of Kazaa etc to obtain them all, but still, nothing like an hour of Zim after a nights boozing!

Ads I hate:
McD's
Tampon/Moth
Anything that feels the need to show me a babies arse.

TV Shows:
HollyOaks
The Salon...
Anything with Ant and Dec.

Petoria

I hate:

Big Brother
Paradise Hotel
Survivor
Temptation Island
The Mole
The Salon
Bar Wars
American idol
Pop Idol
Fame Academy
Home & Away
Emmerdale
Hollyoaks
Dawsons Creek
Will & Grace
Dharma & Greg
Sinbad
The Real World
Big Bow Wow
Richard Blackwood Show
The Nanny
Red Dwarf
GAA
Telly Bingo
Late Late Show w/ Pat Kenny
Mile High
Dream Team
Time Gentlemen Please
English Abroad Shows, on SKY One (that whole range of sh*t programming, where they go to Ibiza, Greece, IIanapa, Santa Ponza, Tormolenos, etc and drink beer & try to pull birds).


The Adverts that piss me off are:
The Fiat Punto advert in the petrol station: "Dont, don't you want me baby?"
Halifax Adverts.

MOD: Can we refrain from use of possibly offensive language! :ninja:

couldn't agree more:D

byte

It would probably be easier for me to make a list of stuff I like! :rolleyes:

I hate
Most real-life stuff
All Australian programming
Most US programming
Most RTÉ-produced programming

Adverts is difficult too, considering most are terrible:
S.T. adverts :rolleyes:
Insurance adverts
those irritating "I'm loving it" McD adverts
And the increasing number of mobile ringtone adverts! :mad:

Agreed. They're always showing people stroking naked babies bums. WTF? There's a slight hint of paedophilia about it or something. They make me shudder, anyway

Yes the Salon.

The ultimate in retarded vacuity

I have tried watching it but it is actually impossible to sit through. I believe that massaging one's crotch with rusty razor wire is more enjoyable.

The Song Thrush

Ant & Dec are the biggest turds on TV. And the fact that ITV have them presenting every TV show AND now they're on TV3 as well (double the turds), makes me want to hurl my TV out the window.

The Song Thrush

that Lotto ad that plays the tune "don't worry, be happy!" constantly. does my head in.

the mcdonalds "i'm loving it" ad. another head wrecking tune.

that ad on UTV; "it's nicer to neuter!" what the flurking schnit is that about?

Quatre Mains

39 posts in, and no-one has mentioned the ads on the radio for "The Square, Tallaght"...looking good!

All pringles ads - I have to change the channel when that new ad with the Platypus comes on

The club orange ad "Blah blah from Kuala Lumpur writes..."

the one with the curly moustache? I bet he has old Barney suit and a net in the back of his car.

The Song Thrush

Those Coco Pops ads are getting on my nerves as well. They play that music really loud and Coco constantly shouts, gets on me tits.

Creature

The Guinness ad, "Are ye goin you fer a pint?" - No, **** off.

Those dodgy personal injury claim ads(mostly on digital), yeah like I'd even thinking about getting a loan from those loan sharks-in-suits.

That damn Churchill insurance add with that ****in dog. Arrghh makes me go on a killing spree with a flamethrower.

Those many elephant.co.uk insurance adds. I want to rip that wanker's face off. Bastard.


McDonalds ads.....

I'd rather have a bowl of coco pops than choco crispies though.

Actually I'm getting older so I've moved to Bran Flakes. You don't see any crappy adverts for Bran Flakes.

SantaHoe

Adds:
Any add about tampons. (don't need to know - don't want to know)
Adds for loans/creditcards/financial planning (ie. Discovery Channel most of the day)

Programmes:
Stupid, low-buget, unfunny sitcoms with canned-laughter.
Anything shown on RTE1.

Yeah I turn off the radio when I hear the REEDS OF NASSAU STREET add... surely there's laws against such a annoyingly repetitive addvertising?
I'd actually make a point of not shopping there after hearing their crappy add.

You don't see any ads for Bran Flakes, come to think of it. I didn't think they still made those. :dunno:

opthrcks

Talking on a broader scale of tv progs:

The entire MTV channel!

Drives me nuts. I remember when they used to play
music. Remember that? The 'M' in MTV? Now its just
the same shows repeated again and again.
One amusing side-effect I've always wondered about.
They have all these 'cribs' shows with famous (cough)
personalities, many of them music stars - apparently.
But how would we know, MTV don't play music
videos anymore, so you don't recognise any of them.


And radio. Grrr. All those damn radio stations with
the same rubbish claims. Less talk, more music.
Listen to us constantly tell you how we're talking less.
Look at me, talking less! Aarrgghh.
Or '3 songs in a row, with no interruptions' -Aaahh,
do they not know just how incredibly annoying
that is? And they've been doing it for years now.
But then, most of the radio stations only seem to
have a playlist of about 3 songs, so there may be
method to their madness.

End rant.
