Plus it's just a stupid, pathetic ad.

Those TV licence ads are the most annoying thing at the moment. Almost every adbreak on RTE they are there in your face with it!

The ones with Jafaris chilling in front of the tellybox aren't so bad.

I prefered the old, mildly threatening TV license ads of the 80's and 90's that had peoples TV's sending them messages making them think they were going mad ("we need to talk Dave") and the ones with the TV spongers. At least they were a laugh.

I was watching NI Channel 4, the Lidl ad on it is cringingly bad.

So you're not going to go bounce with her?

There is no more annoying song in an ad these days than the one currently for Stena Line

"The biggest things in life are memories we can't leave behind

The biggest things in life.

There the biggest things in life are the little things we find"

It's an immediate channel turner whenever I see that ad as the song gets stuck in my head.

It's very hard to comprehend the mind of an advertising team that arrives at that ad...

It's not just one person.. a whole range of people had to sign off on that nonsense. At multiple stages.

Who was their target audience? I'd say the cohort of mothers prepared to be at the office working on their own on what was clearly not a work day as opposed to being at their own child's birthday party must be vanishingly small.

Honestly... I'd sack that entire ad team.

Thank god we are spared those EBS Mortgage Masters ads for the last few weeks. Just 2 more episodes of The Handmaid's Tale to go (and will not be watching much RTE after that until Handmaid's 4 comes along) so hopefully it stays like that until 22nd August.

That English ad for, what I think is car insurance, rattling on about the current political situation.
Just, why?

No doubt you know they do that so that real Alexa units don’t go and order 5,000 toilet rolls because someone in an ad on the radio said so.

If anything, it makes it even more annoying though, because “Alexia” sounds wrong. They should just stop.

apparently they play a secret sound that tells Alexa "ignore the next message". https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/10/technology/alexa-siri-hidden-command-audio-attacks.html

Deirdre O’Kane on the radio for appliances delivered - I might need to order a few radios as I want to smash them every time I hear her voice.

Do they really think that sneery nasal tone would encourage anyone to purchase any of their appliances

For some reason her voice reminds me of a wild west woman taking part in a Rodeo,

PTSB with their 2% cashback on mortgage payments.

Our 2% cashback is 40 per month. Yet that ad would have you thinking that 40 quid would have you on cycling breaks in Amsterdam and what not..

"Keep Going" or some shoite

The latest back to school reincarnation is the worst so far, her voice never bothered me to the extent it bothers others here but god listening to that ad yesterday it was a never ending monotonous put on tone.

God yeah. I find the annoying jingles are the ads that really get under my skin. I couldn't even have told you what that ad was for. Plus, you've gone and put the bloody thing in my head now. Damn you, damn you.;)

They're visual and verbal diarrhea.

I mean, if you look at the 'questionable' behaviour of certain players-the punchups, the jaw breaking incidents, the gay porn videos (all of which happens off the ptich)...yeah, THAT'S GAA.

Never mind how absolutely P**sed off the GAA officials got with Davy Fitzgerald when he said there was a drug problem in the clubs where he lived.

Well, I can tell you-it's not just his clubs. Happens all over the bloody country. Many of them are total jerks, to put it mildly.

You're spot on there, if they started drug testing in the GAH it would make the 99 tour de France look like the (any club) wheelers senior veterans Sunday outing.

Yeah, they don't seem to drug test up until you get into the seniors...then you're tested.

But I know, sadly, too many who got into the drugs when they got injured-and then the GAA went 'yer done'.
(A few of them were all Ireland winners, and they're no longer alive).
Underage clubs, there's a problem with drugs, alcohol, and to a lesser extent, smoking (bizarrely, they turn a blind eye to it-even when it messes with their fitness. But once the fitness isn't up to snuff...they're no longer on the team).

GAA market themselves as this 'community' thing-a Band of Brothers so to speak. But your bros don't stick around when you're not on the team.

the ads go back to when minor was U18

Ads with Dermot Bannon. Ads with Deirdre O'Kane.
I will never willingly buy products that feature either of those two in their ads.

There's a new Guinness one about a Japanese women's rugby team, God they love a bandwagon don't they.

There's an ad on one of the English channels for a crowd called Cinch. I'm almost sure the voiceover is Ardal O'Hanlon. It's one annoying ad.
