    What about the Coco Pops ads that have had the same f***ing song for as long as I can remember? It makes me want to vomit when it comes on during a break in Spongebob. I swear I would love to strangle that stupid monkey with his tail and put an end to his incredibly irritating voice!

    Also any shampoo ads with women with shiny hair. Whose hair looks like that ffs? I bet they're using nylon wigs.

    Oh I hate the stupid HB ad with all the idiots going "Hmmmmmm"
    And that stupid Airwaves ad: "YEAH BRING IT!! WOOO!!!" etc.
    Those people should have their tongues cut out and their teeth smashed just so they'll never eat ice-cream or chew gum again.

    All those Donegal Catch ads with the 3 twats on the fishing boat.

    I keep hoping they'll run into the perfect storm one of these days. :mad:

    My latest addition (God I do seem to hate an awful lot of ads):

    yourlocal.ie

    Your man's carrying around a big lollipop with a creepy face while a narrator with a creepy accent says "yourlocal.ie for restaurants" etc.

    Hate that ad too! But at least it makes a little bit more sense on the TV than it did when it was just on the radio.

    there's an ad for some property website where a couple are sitting at their table, (complete with sun umbrella) in their kitchen. the wife goes "another expresso darling" and takes his cup and goes over and pours coffee from a drip filter pot. not only did the makers of the ad make the mistake that it's espresso and not expresso. they also aren't even drinking the stuff, they're drinking regular coffee.

    Saw a car ad during the weekend. Can't remember the actual make.
    The ad basically seemed to me to be aimed at kids. Showing the features that would keep the kids entertained. Just got the feeling that the maker wanted to use kids to pester parents to buy that car.

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    Seriously.
    I can't stand those ads either...a lot of people seem to like them, but Delamere's a knob and his accent could be used to de-grease engines...

    Dairy Counsel ad where the guy is telling us about this finicky bird who said, "Sure there's no point in cooking eggs if you're not going to use REAL butter".

    "But it was worth the row....if you get my drift [Nudge nudge wink winkady wink wink whatever...]" Ugh, terrible acting and irritating git with a very punchable face!

    I also hate ads for food that have nothing to do with the food. Like the family dinner in Ireland with the French dude, "Could you...uh..me...the Kerrygold"...etc

    BUY KERRYGOLD AND YOU TOO CAN HAVE QUIRKY AND MEMORABLE FAMILY MOMENTS THAT YOU'LL TREASURE FOREVER. Puh-leez....

    I also hate the ad (dairy counsel again) where the voiceover guy says, "Milk, it's magic." He clearly took a sip of milk before the line just to make it sound more 'milky'. YOUR PSYCHOLOGY WON'T WORK ON ME! Haha!

    Who's takin' da horse to France?:)

    The old man from the recent one is fantastic!!!
    "There'll be no boats off the island today...":pac:
    "Ye look hungry" :p (about as risque as you're allowed have on an ad)
    and....the classic: "Did ye miss the boat?":D

    I have to admit: I LOVE THAT AD

    The ad with Dave Fanning, Colin Murphy, yer man from CSI and Lucy Kennedy fom Podge/Rodge.

    It's just cringeworthy

    "Where's the bainne?"

    "Does he think he's Ann Cassan from crimecall?"

    Little tip for the writers. If you have to qualify a joke about someone then it probably isn't going to translate very well anyway.

    The ad for Eddie Rockets is seriously annoying. The guy starts the ad sounding like a relatively normal singer and ends it sounding like a chipmunk.

    I didn't mind the gorilla one too much, but this one is so nonsensical...baggage carts and other airport vehicles racing each other. Yes, watching that makes me want chocolate.

    It doesn't make me want chocolate either, but then I don't usually buy stuff based on ads on TV. However, I think the ad is cute! And anyway, Cadbury's probably sell enough that they don't even need to advertise so they can pretty much do what they like.
