I find it interesting how much every-day life in the US has changed over the last 40 years - if you were to believe that KFC ad.

Yeah that ad bugs me too. The ad gives the impression that the little boy at the start is the same person coming down the stairs over the years and shows him older each occasion. It then says blah blah blah KFC over 40 years. Well if the old man coming down the stairs is supposed to be the little boy at the start of the ad then he has aged very badly and looks more like 70-80years old! Probably the effects of eating too much genetically modified chicken from KFC!

Those stupid hurling championship ads with the nonsensical pseudo-moving speech as the narration. It pains me to hear, it makes so little sense and is so contrived.

I'd be a big fan of the championship and watch most of the matches, but that ad irritates me to no end.

Those VHI ads do my nut

Cold War Kid

The AIB ones. Those accents/voices.

mailforkev

The Vodafone one with the kid filming his smug faced dad singing in his restaurant and the video "goes viral".

Everything about it makes me stabby.

buried

That f**king McDonalds ad with 5 actors eating various stuff and then that smug stubbly bearded twat smiling at eating his processed big mac meal. The advert and the f**king music in it makes me want to join ISIS.

I find it weirdly anachronistic that people still watch television on...actual televisions. Laptop plus adblocker is the way forward people. Haven't seen an ad since sometime in 2011.

I'd be the same as yourself, as I watch hardly any television, except for RTE's mainstream news coverage. But as sure as the angelus is broadcast before the 6 o'clock news, and Jean Byrne's sexy weather forecast will be at the end of it, that f**king Mcdonalds advert is going to be broadcasted right in the middle of it.

Atlantic Dawn

Axa red line where the guys Mr's wants to bang the next door neighbour and get a lend of his car, if it was the other way around there would be murder.

Robsweezie

those creepy flora ads with the ''wrestling'' parents and the ''fit'' mother....and these are supposed to be for kids....I swear next there'll be a '' I caught my brother playing with a sausage and he was looking at a woman with her boobies out'' themed advert.

Oh F**K off Aldi.

Any insurance ad, they're all designed to be as irritating as humanly possible with crap jingles, "humour" and instantly dislikeable actors.

Since the first boy is dressed as for the 1910s, you'd worry about a multinational that thinks 40 years takes 100.

I used to like the Cherman bear. Post-Greek-'bailout', I aim my finger at the TV and go "pkkkhhhh"! Handy as a reminder that the product is German, however.

fortwilliam

Anything that tells me to "Take the Challenge"

Fupp off, what challenge? the one where I buy all your crap? that one?............. oh, ok..

Robsweezie

goodfella's pizza ad with the ''kitch''........

valoren

That Coca Cola Happiness Ad with the guy slurring an "inspirational" rap in a Rocky Balboa-esque voice.

Awful. Just Awful.

"She's into surrrrrfin', dancin', m-eeee-usic....."

:mad:

Ghost Buster

Ads which bug the bejebus outta me and for which i see no point are one which contain obviously non Irish people in obviously non Irish locations which are over dubbed with Irish accents!
One which comes to mind is a Sprite ad the end of which features an obviously South American hottie running a street stall on a balmy summers evening (so not Ireland!) hauling a customer over the counter for a snog whilst exclaiming 'Moi koinda mahnnnn!!!)
**** off!!!!!!!

They don't deserve vocal chords/voiceboxes.

MrWalsh

The VHI ads because the reality is that if you phone to ask if your policy covers something you get a snotty 20 minute circular conversation where the person refuses to give a straight answer and continues to parrot "Well it depends what the consultant puts on the form".

The Donegal Catch ad that was my favourite ad ever has recently made a come back but theyve edited out a vital part!! He used to say "You might be beautiful but theyre putting MY idea on FILE, in a FILING CABINET".
Theyve edited out the "You might be beautiful" bit

That newer McDonalds one with the couple on the first date is even worse.

He goes to kiss her on the cheek when he first meets her and she like cowers away awkwardly. Who the f*ck does that????

Birneybau

Just think what you could do with 5gb of day-da. Yeah, none of the sh!t in your ad Vodafone, also your deals are some of the worst on the market.

All the Trivago ads that ever existed are sh!te of the highest order.

swimming in a sea

There is one VHI advert where the guy hurts his finger playing hockey and heads off to the VHI clinic....they sure know their market audience.

That Nationwide bank ad where the boy knits a scarf for his dad, then he grows up, and has own baby and dad passes on the best dad scarf to him. Then he looses it on a bus and a woman from Nationwide bank finds it and returns it to his house. Find it very creepy.

skipper_G

I hate them all, they make me want to gouge my eyes and ears with acid tipped daggers. Except for the Irn Bru ones, they're okay.

walkingshadow

That ad that was shown on RTE One on Monday night last for the Orange Cultural Centre in Northern Ireland. Why show it on TV in the Republic? How would the Brits react to an advert for a 1916 memorial museum being shown on ITV?

Well you know, some of us actually interact with other human beings while watching stuff.

For that, a television of some description is rather essential as you can't cram everyone in around a 14" laptop.

It is amazing that they have any customers left. It's like they look at the competitions price plans and go "right, knock a few gb, minutes and texts off that and make it a but dearer. Pretend we hae better coverage and create nonsense like HD Voice and we'll trick idiots in to thinking they're on a premium service."

Because ad agencies think Irish won't buy stuff promoted by foreigners.

Nope. My folks have one in the kitchen that's nearly always on in the background but mostly we sit down at the kitchen table for cups of tea and a chat.

If I have people over watching a movie etc. I just run a HDMI cable from the laptop to the TV.
