That FBD ad telling us how great we are as Irish people. Who writes that ****. If we were that great surely they wouldn't be ripping us off with high insurance premiums. Scumbags.

The stupid Dennys ad when your man goes to Ballyhaunis . Do Denny sausages make you a bit thick

Any of the ads for the British banks where someone is reciting a terrible and long poem.

Banks exist to make money, not to help society or anything else and no amount of poetry will change that. We learned what the banks were all about during the global financial crisis thanks.

Eir, Let's Make Possible, Smart Flies Aer Lingus... :rolleyes:

The worst I've seen lately is not an ad on TV, but the tagline for McAfee Antivirus products: "Together is Power".

Saw Simon Cowell in a bank ad on Eurosport.

Seriously did he not make enough money off One Direction over the last few years.

His shows aren't doing what they used to, and he doesn't have a band to manage anymore.

So he's not making the massive money he used to make...not that he's stuck for cash at all.

The Cadbury 'dark' adverts...especially the one with JAson Donovan.

It's the crap bit where it's like 'remember me? No? That's okay'...

And then the bad joke at the end, that I didn't know was a joke, and had to google it...

It's an advert where the makers of the advert realised they had paid for a nobody, and then had no idea what to do about it. Embarassing.

Thats the whole point of it. It is aimed at older people who would know who they are. Theres a version with Kim Wilde that's the same.

Then it backfires on that point because people that old would also know that Cadbury's chocolate doesn't taste anything like as good as it did back in the day.

What advertising agency gets it right these days? Why start now?

This-exactly this. Even a year or two ago, the cadbury's chocolate tasted different. But they add palm oil, or they shrink the size of the bar.

But I had to google Kim Wilde after another poster mentioned her. I don't know who those folks are, and the advert doesn't help.

If they even included a sample jingle from one of their songs, it might help.
Notably with 'especially for you...'

Even the bit with the dog jumping off the couch made me think 'I don't get it...
What am I missing here?'

Cadbury's have a lot of money-you're telling me they can't afford a sample. Because that's the even weirder thing-there's zero music in those adverts.

I'm getting a bit fed up with the M&S food adverts especially the one with the "two burgers" although I'm probably not allowed to say that.

That Suzuki Vitara ad with that poxy annoying kid voiceover. WTAF!

Don't renew unless it's Blue.

That's them struck off the call list.

Regarding the Oral-B ad, Richard Osman hits the nail on the head as always.

And one can't help but be amused by some of the things said in other tweets about that ad...

"Presumably you were born and raised on Mars then."
"That's like saying 'I didn't even know McDonalds did hamburgers!'"
"What else would oral b make???? Next it will be I didn’t even know Nescafé made a coffee"
"What did you think they made? Bread? Shoes? Tractors?"
"Did she think they made haemorrhoid cream??"
"WTF do you think oral b was???? code for giving head????"

Historically they are a company that only made toothbrushes. The B in Oral-B stands for BRUSH.

Possibly yes.

Listen to the way the dentist says "toothpaste", it sounds like she's drunk. Like "toofffst".

I've seen a version of that Oral B ad without her amazement at finding out they made toothpaste. Maybe they've taken the mockery on board.

Same with that stupid Apache Pizza jingle that bookends the Graham Norton show.

That Snickers ad with Elton John in a rap battle, you have to wonder how someone writes this crap and at no point in between concept and it going on air that noone pipes up and calls a bad idea.

Also sounding like Elton John is better than what came after it.

She is, she definitely is-and without the baggage.

maltesers add with the nurses. If they had them doing something else on other ads, but it seems a constantly repeated one.
