At least with ones like the 'Carlsberg don't do' ads, there is a bit of humor thrown in.

It seems that Carlsberg don't do these ads any more.

And if they did... well, they'd probably be better than most of the ads they've done in the last few years. But we can't tell for sure.

The Guinness ads often are so weird they are funny.

That was certainly the case with the "Surfer" ad.

But that was a decade and a half ago.

Today... :mad:

The Heineken ads make sense.

But the "Long Story" ad makes you want to punch something. :rolleyes:

I won't let this ad stop being drinking this cider if I find it on good offer. But it sure as hell would not make one go out of their way to get it either. So far, I have not tasted this cider.

I would recommend sticking with Bulmers.

I hate the new ad for the Jeep Renegade. The song fails so hard in trying to be "folksy".

New AIB ad with pampered child going around to grown-ups asking 'how's she cuttin' or something of that style (isn't this soooooo cute :rolleyes:)

This, coupled with that piercing, shrill, nerve-grating voice over of the female narrator with her false, D4 aspired accent just turns this ad into a nightmarish symphony of pure horridness.

As soon as I hear / see that ad starting, I have to mute the sound. That kid makes me want to punch the tv.

How much would you pay this filthy, intimidating tramp outside burger king for a burger instead of going inside?

Uh...nothing?

The newest Orchard Thieves ad is another abomination. The douche with the bowler type hat annoys the f*ck out of me.

Haven't posted in here for ages but stuck in a hospital bed and bored.

The first Orchard Thieves ad and the Hop House 13 ad are to me pretty much interchangeable and the type of generic beer/cider ad that we've become so used to they're just wallpaper at this stage. Zero cut through and not a new creative thought in either, but as the craft "revolution" :rolleyes: continues I'm sure we'll see more of this shoyte in the future.

I FOCKING HATE THAT AD.

I want AIB to cut the crap and do the following ad.:

Brave. You know, having the courage to evict a family who have fallen behind on their mortgage payments due to both parents losing their jobs. Or having the courage to give two fingers to the goverment's ceiling on executive pay, when we wouldn't be in existence any longer save their and the taxpayers intervention. Or having the courage to pay ourselves €40million in bonuses less than 18months after the Bank Guarantee of 2008. Or having the courage to defraud our customers on more than one occasion through overcharging - it's not easy you know! But no matter how brave we are, we'll never be as brave as Bank of Ireland. Don't call us, we don't care.

All I know is if I was in a restaurant and the chef started singing opera I'd throw the plate in his face and walk out

The new kellogs crunchy nut ad where yer man is wearing his girlfriends underwear eating his cereal.

It makes absolutely zero sense.If he was stuck for something to wear couldn't he have put on a pair of his own trouser or simply wore the towel around himself while eating his breakfast.

I haven't seen it but let me guess,girlfriend,probably accompanied by her parents walks in on him with "hilarious" results?

No mater what though, regardless of the guy and his man bun and beard, the song on that trivago advert is lovely

Almost.

Instead of parents she's with a friend and surprise surprise the friend decides to take a picture of yer man.
