Ads that annoy you

LadyE

You know that ad n the radio - the one for the gym "If Dunne cant do it it cant be done?!"...that ad annoys me so much...

The fact that your man is total BITCH to Jackie Skellys and Total Fitness would put me off ever going to his gym...dont give a monkeys if his gym only costs 60cent a day and they have the best facilities int he world..I would NEVER go to that gym....grrr he annoys me so much!!!!

Anyone any other ads that brings out the stubborness in you...and you vow never to use the product/facilities pure;y becaise of the smugness or whatever of the ad...or am I wierd??:D

Oryx

Not unless Im weird too. Oh, wait a minute.....

That anti smoking radio ad with all the coughing makes me turn off the radio every time. I just hate it.

Pigwidgeon

the 123.ie song drives me demented.

Maple

I hate that Dunne ad too, it makes me want to punch the radio. :mad:

Dudess

Any of those ads that depict women as fukking idiots - "Would I lie about shopping?!" *extremely forced laugh* (that's a current Dunnes Stores one).

themadchef

On the telly.


The Herbal Essence shampoo impression that youre SO going to have an orgasm using their product. I want my money back

SUN SILK

Herapy crap. Bah.

RxQueen

the tile ad thats on the radio for "right priced tile", about how is he "liqudating tiles" uuuuuuuuuughhh its so annoying :mad:

watna

The O2 add that's currently on tv where they talk about getting bebo on your mobile and parade a bunch of good looking people across the screen. Then finish by saying we are O2... so ghey!

Also, I'm surprised someone hasn't posted saying "you're talking about the ad aren't you... that's what the advertisers want blah blah blah"

piscean

Think its the rice crispie add where the kid has hair like George Michael when he was in Wham - the kid in the add annoys me so much.

Also, one that always makes me cry is the one about the dogs that are in a dog shelter and nobody wants them.

It's played up to 3 times in a row in work... I've died a little inside.

Galadriel

That Harvey Norman add with the guy with the really, really annoying voice on radio and TV!!

You poor thing... Yeah, it offends me.

gubbie

I was just thinking this...

I hate the nicotine one with all the black monstors being your cravings and then they go mad. Gargh if I smoked I wouldn't quit

And the sickist one-you know that one about some foot disease and it has a piece of bacteria lift up the nail.... its sick! And its always on around dinner time

I also hate any for insurance and pensions, like that one with the swimming pool. THere's 2. Equally annoying

And the ones where to get ring tones and games on your phone with the quickly saying at the end "€2.50 per sms, 6 sms's a week"

And the diet coke "Do your thing". THere's one thing in it thats really normal... I can't remember what it is, can anyone? Oh how I miss hot half naked guy. I was 8 and still very tempted to buy diet coke. Oh and the Fanta one "Be cool and original and drink this" even though it tastes like crap.

St Bill

There used to be a McDonalds on the radio where a woman was complaining to her partner that he never helped her with anything around the house. So to shut her up, he gets the kids' dinner.....by taking them to McDonalds. The ad finishes by him saying in a really stroppy manner 'Happy now?'. Why would anyone be happy that their kids had 'dinner' at McDonalds?

That Dunnes add is beyond cringeworthy. Especially the one where he thanks 'Maggie' - I'm soo dying to know who this Maggie is and if he's really thanking her for her lovely comments or something else. Maggie, if your out there put us out of our misery

Most Irish radio adds infuriate me...my latest peeve is the Accountancy Solutions one where two knob heads go on about the fawntawstic opportunities provided by the agency to a colleague - grrr!!

The funniest one's are the Cosmetic surgery ones with the lovely soothing music, which i can only presume are intended to have you fantasising about how enjoyable being butchered might actually be

I hate almost all ads on tv and radio. Among my most hated are:
McDonalds ads with the one exception of the time the Dad got caught eating his Big Mac over the baby monitor.
Permanent TSB ads.
The current AIB one with that girl and her Mini Cooper (although they are fab cars and I have one:):))
Right Price Tiles.
Barry Scott and Cillit Bang
Those ads for kitchen towels that involve men dressing up as women
123.ie just log on blah blah blah

I change radio stations a lot and listen to cds a lot too.

Femelade

That ad on telly for bic lighters..that boy is creepy!!

Lola123

That one with "eurocycles and eurobabies". I have no idea what it's about but it sounds stoopid anyway. cycles and babies????

Also that one for the samaritans where ur man won't come down out of the tree. It's silly.

The one where davina mccall is plugging some hair product is also annoying. "muuuummmmm". Seriously..... shut up.

+100. Are we really meant to believe that Davina really colours her hair over the bathroom sink?:rolleyes:

I also forgot about those ads that are on during the day for "no win no fee" legal firms and bloody Linda Martin offering financial advice?? Linda Martin of all people??

balon

11890 radio ad
insure.ie
11811
11850
+ any similar inane jingle filled airwave space..

All of above with stupid jingles that stick in your head and are incessantly played. I hear one of these, I immediately change channel and increase my resolve to never use their service or product.

SMM

That AIB ad where the girl sees a filthy mini cooper in some dealership & says she wants to buy it straight away without even driving it. "I don't care just put a sold sticker on it" - Doh

Loopy

Kerry Katona in those stupid bloody Iceland Ads..

What about George Hooke, News talk, inviting us to text him on 5310sex :eek: --- yak

That 123.ie.... just log in and save mon-ee... :mad:

I hear that upwards of 12 times a day.

I agree, any chance we could hire somebody to assassinate that guy. If that works, I have a few private jobs that I need doing.:rolleyes:

I presume you're referring to the gym ad? And I presume the gym in question is Ben Dunne's gym (he of Dunnes Stores)? I'm not living in Dublin at the mo so haven't heard it.
I wonder is "Maggie" Margaret Heffernan, another member of the Dunne clan (Ben's sister I think)?

Oh man I hate that ad! The guy with the scrunched up face at the end. "We are O2", ugh spare me. I change it when it comes on the tv.

There was another one last year that was so cringeworthy. Some silly blond woman waffling on about some heating system or something. Aquatech I think. It was so bad. She was absolutely awful. Clicky and scroll down to watch the ad. The bit where she puts her hands on her hip is just soooo natural!

mollybawn

That coughing ad is so irritating. I dont even know what its for, - some cough bottle I suppose. The company is wasting its money with that ad as far as I'm concerned cos I turn it down before it even gets to the part that names the product! And yer wan on the TV ad for the over-50's insurance policy, - in her granny cardigan and the tea-cosy on the table. God forbid that I'll suddenly start saving for my "loved-ones" and my funeral when I'm 50. If my "loved-ones" are any good they can bloody well cough up for it. And if any of you see me in a cardigan like that even when I'm 90 please shoot me.
Oh and that disgusting ad on TV for the constipation stuff. She has a big bag of stuff which she empties out on the table........EEK!!!!!:eek:

panda100

The 02 AD. The people,the music,everything in that ad irrates the bajjesus out of me!So much so that I will never ever become an O2 customer even if there the last mobile phone network in the world!!
