Adverts you despise

Well folks, I am a bit too much of a regular here for it to be healthy, and this is completely the opposite of on-topic. But I posted on the 'adverts we like' thread, which is much less enjoyable by definition because it's lacking cynicism and hatred, and nobody ever posts there because ads are not likeable. Anyway my point was that I am a massive, massive fan of the new SuperValu ad, or more particularly the woman in it. Everything about her (except her child and her horrible jacket) is great and I'll be shopping there for the foreseeable future.

That's my shameful admission out of the way. If someone could send me her name, address, birthday, and weekly schedule that would be great.

She kind goes overboard with the enthusiasm though, it's like she is almost going to have an orgasm bladdering on about how great SV are.

If an ad bothers me I don't buy their product or go into their store.

The numpty from the Meteor Christmas advert (He turns more into an elf with ever question), and the Axa Red line :mad: Advert (Breakit... :mad::() is now doing some sort of crap flailing dancing, in an Airport for Cadburys Biscuit Bar.

Who keeps hiring him? Or are there no other people auditioning for these shíte adverts (That would probably be a good thing)...?

I came here to give out about exactly this, I hate that fella. He sounds like he has a dose of snots, and he is visible on every ad break, either Axa or Cadbury... I can't understand why he is so.popular in advertising, who are his parents??? Is he as connected in advertising as Anton Savage is in media??? Might explain his constant appearance....

Btw dude, that beard does you no favours... Blow your nose and buy a Mach3, and get a new career

I really can't stand him, twas the.Meteor ad that did me in

I desperately wish I could agree. Sadly this isn't true.

Same here. I have never stood in a Harvey Norman shop. Maybe I am missing lots of bargains, but I hate the ads so much, it puts me right off.

Tv3 were showing an ad at the end of some programme about a coffee machine, had the standard dort dolly doing the voice over, the one for where she gushes about making some coffee concoction by the name 'tackymackyatugh' "drives me to stab my ears out, course the ad is n not aimed at 99% of the population

Are you referring to caffé macchiato? Clearly I'm in the other 1% of the population!

I hate that McDonalds were allowed to use the Cheers theme!! It upsets me

The F**king Haribo advert, where they are all sitting around a conference room table making stupid faces whilst lip-syncing to a kids voice.

It would probably be better if they did it as adults, without the stupid faces. I never saw a child gurning like that while they talk.

flazio

The new One Direct 'Tutu' ad, never a fan of Pat Shortt's showband version either but at least he managed to make the number fit in the depressing tune.

Saw that one last night. Agreed, the voices are bad enough, but the gurning... Weird!

That mega annoying Bet Fred ad with the Beyoncé song mixed in with it. I always mute it.

Also that Turkish Airlines ad with Messi and that other guy in it, not sure who he is. The ad really grates on me for some reason.

Going Strong

The Freepay Power one.

I notice someone must have had a word as they've changed the jingle from "The power to pay your way" to "The power to take control of your electricity." Which would suggest that, when you're in major debt, knocking a few quid off your electricity bill is a mere drop in the ocean.

Slime Princess

That horrible breathy Encona one.

Ugh, it totally makes my teeth itch. I actually like the sauces but it makes me NOT want to buy any purely because of how incredibly irritating the advert is.

Pi.ss off Mario Rosenstock

The stupid waggon that can't distinguish a stone from a diamond ring in a ring box. ffs, lad, you're well shut of her...always change the channel when that comes on.

and the one with the cheerleading mother praising the cheerleading son at the football match. What's it for????

lertsnim

Supervalu ad with that annoying woman and her yellow coat. I refuse to go to Supervalu until she's gone from TV.

UPC Horizon. I hope that woman in the bath drops her tablet into it. Silly bint. The makers of extraordinary **** ads

"The power to take control" doesn't sound right, somehow...

And it's been going a while now.


I'm going to dig up another advert from several years back:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5Y49_YWB6I

Did the makers forget that it was supposed to be for bottled water until the very last minute? Because for the first 20 seconds or so, it really could be for anything...

Regardless, it's probably fair to say that Evian's dancing babies have about a million times more charm.

Is that long lanky bloke with the beard and the oversized head the only actor doing ads these days? He seems to be everywhere - insurance, chocolate, even turns up on Boards.

There is an ad on rte right now for saving money on life insurance or mortgage protection , it could be 123.ie or hello.ie or whoever cant be sure but anyway....

It features a Father on front of a dark mirror in a black suit talking dourly about "if" one of the couple should die the mortgage will be paid off etc etc..

He is just about to put a black tie on when his missus comes up behind him offering him a nice gold tie telling him "were not going to a funeral"..... now the old git turns around to see his smiling daughter in her wedding dress!!

Does he have dementia?? Isn't he aware that his daughter is actually getting married like TODAY! and WTF is he doing in a black suit with a black tie anyway?
It's suppose to be a joyous occasion you miserable old bugger!!

Rant over but ad makes no sense!

The daughter creeps me out in that ad. The state of her! Those scrunched up eyes, insane grin Jack Nicholson's Joker would be proud of and the absolutely enormous teeth. Nevermind eating an apple through a letterbox, she's manage it through the eye of a needle. She looks like like the Chatterer Cenobite from Hellraiser.

The McDonalds ad with people eating Ginger/Honey/Wasabi etc. in slow motion.

Then "Taste is a powerful thing".. With some guy that looks like the guy that sings you're beautiful..

That is the most UN-appetising thing ever. Slow motion of a guy eating a burger. WTF?

I think its an ironic ad??? Don't like your tastebuds, they try a McDonalds, you won't taste a thing.

Why is the Honey person giving a strange face?

nullzero

The 3 ad with the smug geeky hipster couple. "sometimes all you need is three little words"... Yeah; go f##k yourself.
