That Energlaze ad really could have a negative affect on people who might be thinking about ringing them. They have one character in the ad who comes out with smug, condescending remarks. This guy is meant to be the know it all friend (I think) but could be interpreted as being one of their employees.

That Ad really grinds my gears. Pompous, probably overpaid Celtic Tiger type prick has a completely unrealistic conversation with some minion - probably himself to save employing somebody else to make a truly woeful Ad.

That ladies Gaelic football one has a similar thumping/shouting soundtrack as the Go Loud headache inducing ad.

Is there some kind of description for the kind of sub-aural assault that these two ads employ? It's like the kind of the kind of noise you'd use to de-program sleeper agents. Not pleasant to experience.

That Doc Brown (Back to the Future) impression is awful.

It's more like a parody of Marlon Brando in the Godfather it's that bad.

Heard an ad a couple of times this week, with a shouty woman and mumbling man on the telephone, she's yelling something about newness, I think?? It's incredibly annoying. I have no idea what it is for, but it is painful listening.

Not as badly as those Eurovision has beens. I don't know how often I hear "We were the rock & roll kids...." on Classic repeats every single work day.

Oh god every time I hear it I just think god just play the gig so that ad will be over.

The more I hear it the more I think how terrible a band name it is

Latest bathroom design ad, telling a 'story' with taps and bathroom fixtures. Some wittering on about having a box of crayons and being able to use all the colours.

"It's like sitting beside your favourite player and he's like 'you know your stuff' and you're like 'This is the best'".

And I'm like- "what a pathetic little man you are".

The Supermacs Bacon and Cheddar ad.

Why did they get Norman Price to say the line
'Can I get bacon and cheese on that please?'

Welsh Megaman

Anybody else get a chill down the spine hearing Bosco’s voice on the radio?

Yes yes yes! It's the most horrible thing (just after Deirdre) - I have to listen to it in work umphteens time a day.

Its "Martin! MAAAAARTIN!" and then she's on about a word mixed from "new" and "used" (newsed?), its a car ad, but whatever car it is, I'll never ever buy it. If I ever find out the actual brand that is.

But still...Deirdre is worse.

That pensions ad.

"and you're sure this horse is a winner .... ?

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah"

Center Parcs outdoing themselves lately with the Christmas ads.

Donal from the island.

The smug way he says teabags, sausages and crisps.

Infuriating.

And what's worse still is it that it gives oxygen to the spas that actually do ring up emergency services with equally stupid requests.

What annoys me about this ad is the way he first says "This is an emergency" and then completely changes tone and says "ah no we just want sausages and crisps". I would have prosecuted the pr1ck for wasting the resources of the emergency services. :mad::mad:
