    tha stupid ad for the last in the series of *****ly heat...
    doo-doo doo-da, doo-doo doo-da


    ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,699 ✭✭✭Da Bounca


    that ****ing AA add, with yur man asking his wife did she get the insurance and she says i did it on the AA website and thewn he starts moaning about the way his dad did it and she flips and goes im not your dad.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,621 ✭✭✭Panda


    Thee worst add ever has to be that ****ing Penalli pen set constantly run on TV3.

    Also if anyone watches tv until 2 or 3 in the morn then you'll notice those info-mercials for those "revolutionary" excercising machines, which feature washed up tv actors (eg. Chuck Norris) and not forgetting that infamous line associated with the drivel "...and it even fits under your bed!!!..."

    Ugh.

    yeah that add about insurance where she goes mad. It's just two people having a fight! WTF?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,309 ✭✭✭✭Bard


    Have to agree with Castor on this one - that Halifax ad is the worst around by far at the moment.

    Oh- and Ricky Martin sucks big fL0ppy d0Nk3y d1<k too.

    holy S hit dude ! My company takes orders for them. Do you have any idea how previledged we are to have Chuck Norris (in his defining role) advertise our goods ? Its like Lawrence Olivier advertising bikini wax.

    Mabye not.

    Anyway, washing machines live longer with Calgon. i do so hate that ad..

    Kenco Coffee "Hadn't I better clear that with the boss?" ad. (and to a lesser extent, its predecessor starring Jenkins)

    it would inspire me to set up my own coffee company to put her out of business until i remember she's not real.

    btw, surely that Halifax ad is a joke?


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 9,768 Mod ✭✭✭✭Manach


    I have to agree about the Hailax. The worst ever (inc. those Radion ads of yore). Uggh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 599 ✭✭✭ThunderingMike


    I cannot believe no one has mentioned the Nescafe ads. They are pure ****ing ****. Not just that, but that Halifax ad, first time I saw it start, I knew that fat **** singing was bad news and have successfully avoided it since then.

    But those Nescafe ads... dear jesus they make me ill... so ****ing pretentious.

    ThunderingMike Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pitch and moment, With this regard their current turns away, And lose the name of action... Nows that's a sig.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,488 ✭✭✭SantaHoe


    I'm with Gandi there, the "lap-top junior" add just ****es me off so much... especialy when you notice that the "grown-up" is just twiddling two fingers in the same spot, while trying to look busy.
    Oh, and... IT'S NOT A FKING LAPTOP!

    A close second place goes to the Nissan ad.
    "New car todaaaaaay - my old car's gone away, this nissan is the best... it's not like all the rest"
    How mind numbingly unoriginal... coupled with that cringe-worthy tune is enough to make me never want to own one (and 'understand').

    After myself and my youngest brother were joking about that ad, we can't now watch it without imagining the scenario of 'what happens next'... at the end the dog doesn't quite make it far enough with the toilet roll as you know,- kid calls him over, dog lollops over to kid, cut to product shot and voiceover at end of ad.

    What we don't see is the dopey dog being grabbed by the scruff of the neck, hoisted up and being used in lieu of the toilet paper by the equally dopey kid to wipe his own ar$e.

    ... and I don't watch much TV either wink.gif

    No but being able to put a pen through an advertising executive's head would.

    As for Halifax, hunt down that woman and kill her in nasty ways.
    Did someone say compensation?...

    The new ad for Barry's tea I think, with him telling the kids at the end "Wow wooow, it's a no fly zone". That's pretty bad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,982 ✭✭✭ObeyGiant


    The Claims Direct ad is fantastic.. it's got the best catchphrase ever... "Where there's blame, there's a claim".
    It's also got a cartoon "T" that keeps getting into all sorts of accidents, and ends up with him, complete with broken leg and crutches, being showered with money.

    are you ****ing mad???? the claims direct ad with that little wh0re with the glasses who fell in the playground. and he had eye damage or something. most ads on sky now either want to get money for an accident, or want to "consolidate all your existing debts into one managable monthly payment".

    You can't say these ads are bad... they're unpleasent and even disturbing.. but they're very effective and well made. They do exactly what they're designed to do, imo they're the best ads on TV (i dunno what u mean by new anti-drinking ads... the ones i'm thinking of are made every year, the earliest i can remember is the Louis Armstrong "what a wonderful world" one, then theres the one with the lift, and in the most recent i can think of the guy who drives home after a few drinks after a football match and crashes

    Its a nice little catch tune smile.gif and a good quality ad, unlike (4.) below
    <font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">4.All Kinder ads grrrrr</font>
    AAAAAAAArgh wtf?! how hard could it be to make these ads look remotely real in english speaking countries? These are definitely candidates for the worst ad, but they have a redeeming factor imo in that they are fairly bright, happy ads that do not make u want to vomit completely, u laugh at them for being so dubbed looking and stuff, but even if u try, u CANNOT laugh at that "Living to give u extra" ad (aaaaaaaaaargh)

    I think he's referiung to the cool choices ads to stop under age drinking - they're sh!te in the worst possible way.

    That ad for the oil company with the big blond bimbo guy. Where he’s standing on the tanker with no jumper or jacket on say stuff like "Ve in Swweeeeden Know about ze cold yea" NO YOU DONT YOU TIT YOUR STANDING ON TOP OF THE TANKER WITH NO JACKET ON even the guy driving the thing thinks he’s a Muppet. rolleyes.gif

    P.S. I have a sneaking suspicion he is gay.

    The most recent ad for not drink driving is
    a good ad, and has won numerous awards,
    however it is not a good anti drink-driving
    ad. Before the guy crashes into the fence
    and squishes the young buck, the driver
    starts to play with the radio. That ruins
    it as a drink driving ad because it is not
    drink driving that has caused that crash,
    rather it is the guy not paying attention to
    the road.

    That ****in ad for andrex...i think it was mentioned earlier...but jesus H christ...if the dog was that clever he'd have broken off a bit of the bog roll and brought it up the stairs...the young fella on the pan..could also use the dog to wipe his **** .

    lol swifty Hardkore and myself were just talking about how much that andrex ad wrecks the head..

    On another note..

    Those do not drink and drive on RTE1 and Network2.... i swear it runs a shiver through me every time... its the one were the lads wins the football match and goes out for drinks and on his way home he cracks off a cirb and does a flip over the back fence where the little kid was playing soccer. Just as hes flipping over the fence the car is about a foot away from the kid and the kid moves the football with his foot and that freaks me out cause theres no way of explaining the ad and it seems real...

    Worst ad is that stupid puppy toilet paper one with the incredibly annoying highpitched tune.
    Worst after that is the fukin huggies.

    Although, I saw a challenger yesterday, cant remember product, but its got lots of ppl with their faces kinda warped like in a hall of mirrors thingy, but with incredibly annoying bg sound
