    I’m at a crossroads when it comes to those ads.

    I despised them for the entirety of their duration initially but at least when they are being shown now “new normal”, “were connecting differently” or “uncertain times” don’t exist. That in itself is a positive

    The phone ad with the Dutch Bigfoot.

    The ad for Teams with the teachers and the students doing an online class.
    The kids on the screens look bored out of their skulls or surly as heck.

    The teacher shows them something and asks them can they see it. This one boy says 'I can see it' in a really aggressive tone of voice. If I had used that tone and attitude with a teacher I would have been for the high jump.

    The biologist who plays 'footie' on Wednesday nights.
    She is a cockney trying to put on an upper-crust accent and mannerisms and fails miserably.

    I was here to post about this one. As per post below me it's for Virgin not Vodafone.

    Huh... this ad was on earlier and I would’ve bet the house it was Vodafone!
    Goes to show how fcuking annoying it is that I don’t even know what company it is for.

    Doesn't make your point any less valid. It's a real annoyance of mine too.

    Vodafones and Virgins shade of red used in their branding and logos seems to be almost identical, Ive mixed them up in the past too. Virgins ad with all the kids singing Queens Dont Stop me Now is particularly annoying.

    Companies must be having a great laugh at the negligible cost of production for their ads lately- no need to pay camera men or film crews, no need to pay actors or directors, just get some kids with smartphones to do it all for free so they can be on the telly. Same with the Aldi family in lockdown :rolleyes:

    EBS ad where the family see a sex scene on the TV. Then the sofa turns into a huge vagina and swallows up the son.
    Freud would have a field day.

    The one eyed monster under the child's bed. There's no way did the advertising people not know what they were doing.

    EBS really need to change their advertising agency. If there was a top of the pops for sh1te ads.....they would be the feckin Beatles....

    Not seen that but is it also on bus shelters? The son looks like a midget version of Eoin Mclove.

    There's 2 ads on the tv currently that I cant stand:

    1. The Tampax ad ("You gotta get it up there girls...") which seems to be everywhere
    2. The Fairy non Bio with Vogue Williams and her son Theodore.

    what is it with talking dogs on adverts, do they honestly think everyone likes them.

    The just eat ads are just as bad with the bad dubbing

    I think those ads probably appeal to terrible people, who then go and buy those products.

    Some car ad, maybe VW, where they are interviewing kids about what the car of the future will be like. The children are meant to be in the 1970s but they have really strong mid-atlantic accents. Irish kids didn't talk like that back then, for flips sake.

    The ad with Dermot Bannon, the little girl doing homework asks her da how many moons Jupiter has.
    I hate it because
    -I don't remember covering any astronomy whatsoever in school
    - The girl is really young, why would the teacher ask such an advanced question, 'can you spell Jupiter?' would be more apt
    - The da acts like a twat trying to bluff his way out of it. Just tell her you don't know, why don't we look it up
    - The girl seems adept at using the tablet, why did she need to ask da at all, look it up yourself
    - Bannon shows up
