    The jist appears to be to go to Maxol after losing the county final by a point to a terrible refereeing decision and they will stroke your ego , patronise you and life will be much better when you walk out their door . It's a very annoying add .

    Marketing execs, stop putting kids in ads. Its not cute. Its annoying. On this page the three main votes for adverts we despise are:

    Maxol: Kid plays "cracking GAA game"
    AIB: Precocious kid does more research on his new possible home than either his parents or the estate agent
    Aldi Rugby ad: Annoying kid rehearsing his motivational speech.

    And dont get me started on the haribo ads with the adults lip syncing to the kids talking about the sweets. :rolleyes:

    The ad for Asda with the woman saying "That's better" every second.
    She sounds so thick and it's beyond annoying.

    The Fiat Tipo ad with the tune to "That's Amore" is being played every fking ad break and I HATE IT.

    The ad for McVities Chocolate Digestive Nibbles. Just a fancy name for broken biscuits. And on a similar theme, what's with this Micellar water. If I want to put water on my face, I'll stick my head under the tap, or out the window. Rant over.

    My girlfriend pointed out that the woman in those ads has a really oddly stained, hoarse tinge in her voice that really gets into your head. Once she pointed it out it's all I could hear.

    I'm out of the country now so dunno if it's the same ad you're talking about, but that one was never off the box.

    yes, very peculiar vocals - got to be UK English speaking woman but I couldnt geographically pinpoint where "its out with the tap, and in with the Quooker!" - last time I checked the prices were something like 650 UK Pounds for one, not cheap ... but snazzy

    Micellar water dissolves make-up. Water doesn't.

    Another contender. That Euromillions ad with the island. Just a lazy rehash of almost every lotto ad ever made in Ireland.

    Mod warning.

    Thread cleaned up

    Less of the abusive name calling of kids.
    Less of the abusive ranting about ads. Just say why you dislike the ad without the all the emotion and abuse. The thread is called Adverts you despise, not Rudely Abuse ads you despise.

    Any ad for detergent capsules featuring children, then warning to keep them away from children. Maybe they could try making them less attractive to children instead?

    The Snickers one with the mime artists. The first Joan Collins one had novelty for a while, the Rowan Atkinson one less so but this one is just flogging a very a tired idea. Fail.
