Ads that make you want to break your TV

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.

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

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:

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.

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...

hehe i like that one, and not because your wan and her 'howiya ronan', but at the end of it, I cant help but say CU Next Tuesday

always cracks me up a lil:o

Ads that are talked about , is that not good marketing.

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?

Pauleta

Guinness seem to make a lot of ads i hate.

Fly Fishing by JR Hartley,

Are you kidding? That's a great ad! A classic indeed (if ads can even have classics that is). If they made ads like that anymore I might actually bother watching tv again.

Bazzy

why has no one mentioned the we but any car .com ad i would string whoever made that up by the bolli*

Gi joe!

Why does every Irish phone ad have to contain at least 10 effeminate indie saps showing us how hip they think they are. That knitting one for christ's sake.

Are these the only kinds of people phone companies think use mobile phones?

i was reading through this thread wondering should i or should i not post about this irrritation, im glad someone else did. but i did click through, and even on a 7mb line the site is still slooooowww to load, and i found myself thinking "ok, what now? ok click there, right", wait some more, wait a lot more, then enter your friends e-mail addy's. riiiight- feck off, i'd have called them faster by now. i thought it was more of an events guide site. i assume now all it does is e-mail your friends with a "discreet" :rolleyes: link to the website, so they can wait ages while it loads, just to see me ask do they wanna go out. i cant imagine i'd have too many friends left if i ever used that site!

The ad for envirofone that features the two worst actors to ever get excited about a cheque for €150.
