Ads that make you want to break your TV

quicklickpaddy

Thread clearly inspired by that "Cheeky Volvic" c*nt.

Before him the common enemy seemed to be the carol singing bellend off the meteor ad.

Before him maybe the kid who wants to poo at Paul's.

Do any ads or characters from ads just piss you off for no reason? I have had to stop myself throwing the remote at the TV for all of the above :mad:

I find it's easier and less costly to change the channel.

That woman using the plastic cups and wire to tell other mums how to keep their kids healthy.

What a stupid, stupid advert. I wouldn't trust you with a kid if you didn't know how to use a telephone!

MrStuffins

There's a new one (i think for Vodafone?) where a guy is about to give a speech and his phone rings. Naturally he answers it (very professional) and its his daughter crying about being dumped or some sh1t!

He leaves immediately and meets her crying in her car to give her a hug. She asks "You weren't doing anything important were you?" to which he replies something along the lines of "Doing the dishes " or something!

It's a retarded ad for so many reasons and i want to break my tv when it comes on!

The gaviscon ad with the firemen.

1. They would die in the stomach
2. Where does the hose come from?
3. Thats not how it happens people

MrStuffins

Oh....... and these guys really gotta be the worst offenders (although they're so bad that now i find them hilarious)

Remember the one where the guys meets "Joe", the traffic cop with heartburn? Everyone starts dancing in the street after she gets rid and all of a sudden you see a guy doing jumping splits in front of the camera!

Ridiculous!

Heheh

When that ad first came out it was really badly dubbed by Irish actors. The woman turns up the stereo and then you hear this voice screaming "WHADDA FEELING!!"

Used to leave me in stitches before they changed it!

That's just impressively annoying

Whoever made the Go Compare ad should have been fired.

It's just so annoying. If they were in this country I'd vow never to use them

I'm getting really annoyed at the attempts to use stylistic camera or editing tricks in commercials. There's one for some toothpaste that has a dentist talking about it. The first version had some badly-overdubbed Hungarian dentist, so they remade it with "an Irish Dentist". OK, but now they've gone all "edgy", with edits every 1/2 a second, extreme closeups of the side of the guy's head or hands while he's talking. (Too many Stephen Soderbergh films will do that to you.) The cameraman thinks a Tripod is the nightclub he was at the night before, and now he's hung over with the DTs and has forgotten how a camera works. (White Balance? Isn't that a bit racist?)

Another "style" that annoys me is when the camera is always moving ... slowly ... and keeps moving even when the scene changes. It makes the background more "alive", but that tells me that they don't have enough going on in the foreground i.e. the product is boring.

I'm not even a film student, so if I can see this stuff going on, I can only imaging how a real film student feels when seeing such amateurism. If you have to copy someone else's style so explicitly, that means that you don't have confidence in yours.

Isn't there an ads you despise thread?

PK2008

All of the Gillette adverts;

"Welcome to the most innovative shaving experience of your life, we've added another blade!!!!!"

Thats all they do, just keep adding blades, pretty soon we'll be shaving with something that looks like a set of venetian blinds


Although I do love the fact that 2 of their main mascots were Thierry Henry and Tiger Woods, lol integrity fail.

That credit union ad "Howiya Brian" :mad::mad: hate that one.

Anyone noticed that the standard blurb at the end says the credit unions are regulated by the "Finacial Regulator". Can't imagine how much the ad cost to make and yet they still managed to miss the spelling error...

thetonynator

Really stupid one for the irish news of the world.

Paul Williams opens the ad by saying ''Irish criminals have changed, they are younger, better organised and much more dangerous'' or something like that. Then he ruins it all by saying: ''thats why i've moved to the irish news of the world''.

I mean, wtf??? How is moving newspaper going to help stop organised crime????

Those Kelloggs Crunchy Nut Adverts, or more to the recent Crunchy Nut Clusters...

I would not even taste those bloody things,Just in protest of how much I hate those ads...

The only ad that makes me turn to violence is brian dowling urging us all to read jordan or Kerry katona's latest shocking struggle in "Closer". Everything that's wrong with the world is summed up in that ad.

The ad just before the 6 O Clock news with those God forsaken bells.

Did you check out the comments at the bottom. I wonder did the Imagine staff get paid overtime for posting them!

Again I have to add a +1 for the "cheeky Volvic" tool. He is a tool!

The Toyota Hybrid synergy drive bull s**t. Its basically a big bag of lies from one end to the next which will of course will fool some people into thinking its true and they will buy one of them hideous prius's.

The Perle du Lait ad where yer wan scrunches up her face when eating the crap yogurt.. The when she's eating the other yogurt (and after a healthy dose of makeup, a new filter on the camera and better lighting on the set) she's fine.

UpCork

The ad for the 'new' kind of Cornetto drives me nuts, don't know why.

Not only is it incredibly infuriatingly sh1t, but he rattles it off so fast it's as if he has a gun to his head or as if it is his last breath! Cheap c*nts squeezing as much into 5 seconds as possible. How about my knee and your face "get closer"?

ectoraige

That one for some dental product with Clíodhna Ní Bhuachalla, where there's a subtitle "Clíodhna Ní Bhuachalla, Broadcaster". I really just couldn't give a flying frack what she is.

Yeah, I have issues.

I don't like the one with all the farmers going on about Irish rashers and sausages.
Their accents are awful and I can barely make out what they're trying to say.
They make my ears sad.

AnonoBoy

The TV licence ads. Then I won't have to buy one.

It's not on tv, but that fcuking ad in the corner down there somewhere saying I should get out more.
Fuck off!

There is an ad for Van Insurance i think "get 1 day a week free". There is a grey haired dude with a carpenters belt walking around a van talking and that is ok but at the end of the ad he does the "double-clap" of his hands and says "job done" while looking so f-n happy, resourceful and proper. That last part is not ok, grey haired dude! Makes me really really angry, every time.

Thanks to Sony we will be bombarded with Ads By Google in the future. Looks like we'll be breaking our Tv's and our interwebz.

I know what you are saying and as the saying goes "There's no bad publicity etc etc", but I can safely say that several instances of bad/irritable advertising has put me off a product. e.g. I'll grab a Ballygowen or Riverrock before I go near a cheeky Volvic. I'm sure I'm not alone here!

I'm not from Sligo, I just spend a lot of time there and my accent is fairly neutral.
The Sligo accent has nothing on the ones in that ad.

They're Irish Farmers, how do you want them to sound? Should they have tried to get Stephan Fry to dub the ad or something?

Guinness seem to make a lot of ads i hate.
