    That road safety ad about allowing space for cyclists to "ride safe".

    Why can't they say "ride safely"? "Ride safe" sounds like management speak.

    And it doesn't tell us how much space we need to leave for cyclists on the pavement

    A little more space, for a little bit safe.

    There's one with Joe Canning walking out of the tunnel seemingly in a state of confusion with a young girl follwing beside him, with his teammates all jogging past him, it reminds me of that dreadful Nivea ad with only three Liverpool players walking out of the tunnel for some reason and Klopp manhandling one of them.

    Poor fella can't even act to save his life. How hard can it be to pull off a simple facial expression for 2 seconds. All GAA players are wooden off the field.

    Wait, is that the one with the young girl who marches out onto the pitch, spots her parents and gives them a smiley wave?

    It's the one thing that's turned me off the GAA over the years , their lack of acting skill. I don't go to a football or hurling match to see football or hurling I want to see them perform Hamlet out there.We don't need better footballers and hurlers in the GAA we need better actors, that'll really improve the organisation.

    Not a terrible advert in the sense of most of those mentioned here but what the feck does any of it have to do with Guinness?

    Oh no! Just as you thought it was safe, yet another Dermot Bannon ad followed by another mortgage masters ad followed by another Orchard Thieve fox it ad. That's the 3 worst ad series in a row.

    Theres an ad on...all hail VOXI.

    Looks like a load of mickeys thrashing about.

    On closer inspection they are thumbs or fingers, but they look more like mickeys.

    The one where the fella thinks his Da's antique watch has been stolen only to be DELIGHTED to discover his girlfriend, on a fashion whim, has decided to wear it out. She didn't bother asking him. Even though apparently the sentimental value is through the roof, it's the first thing he looks for after a burglary, it means that much to him. Ha, ha, isn't she a ticket!

    Advert for 3 ...unlimited data. "I'm literally starving" etc.


    And its misleading ...because all networks DO actually have a fair usage limit. (they have to ...otherwise a single user could shut the whole network down...by using up all their capacity)




    +1 also for EBS mortgage masters. Advert is soo nauseatingly bad that it would actually convince me that EBS are far from being Masters of anything.

    I am sick of seeing that anti drink driving ad. I'm sure everyone knows which one I'm talking about. I don't mean to be insensitive but please, stop! I have to change the channel every time it's on. It's constantly on. It can't be the first time that someone has said this.

    The problem with repetitive ads like that is it desensitises us and the message has little or no impact after the 100 time

    The nurse on that ad annoys me with all the pauses between words.

    I have to agree, had a strong message the first few times I saw it, rightly so, but now it's always like "oh that ad again" for almost everyone in the country.

    I hate that Mortgage Masters ad with a passion. Would love to know who dreams these ads up.

    Plenty people were broken into by burglars who were paying off drug dealers 2 or 3 times a year. Guess what the insurance company did? Found an excuse not to compensate each time. These 'kind insurance company' solving the problem and making people smile again ads are the greatest misleading ones of all time. Sure, the likes of the Orchard Thieves Fox It, Dermot Bannon and Mortgage Masters may be more annoying but the insurance ones are the most misleading.

    You know that necklace? The one that belonged to your grandmother... and then he spun me around and...



    I love malteasers. Who doesn't? But who would waste them in that manner? Like just spin them off the table? Irritating.



    Also, if Greys Anatomy has taught me anything, its that doctors aren't coy about their sexual deeds at lunchtime. You never hear Meredith Grey say she can't remember what she did with some fella last night.
