    It's annoyed me from day one because of fordy ayde (48).

    Similarly on the radio there's ads about job oppordunidies that make me want to break something.

    This one was annoying me until I heard the voice of the GOMO ad

    The ad for tax accountants on newstalk. A guy trying to find his accountant...while he's in a crevasse up a mountain....then gets a phone call from a random friend (unrelated to the accountant)

    Someone was paid to come up with that

    Why does that car ad mention carer's allowance? It sounds very odd.

    The Eir ad with the woman who is moving like she is undergoing demonic possession . I'm expecting her to look at the camera and projectile vomit.

    Yep that ad makes me want to vomit, but then glitchy, stuck in motion about sums up the “high speed” offering of eir in our area. You’d get more fibre in your bran flakes.

    Yeah, but short of actually murdering someone, I can't think of much that Paul McGrath could do that doesn't deserve a pass.

    That ad for D4 Weight Loss clinic where the owner boasts that he lost 4 stone using their program except he looks like he put 3 stones of it back on

    Virgin Media seem desperate to sell advertising at the moment, they've obviously reduced their rates which means more ads where the company owner is too tight to hire an actor and shoots it themselves as a way of saving money and massaging their own ego by being on de tele. Its the same with the used car ad, its got really cheap production and some scobe shouting at you to buy a used car saying that they accept the Carers Allowance, bizarre stuff

    The one where Brian McFadden is driving round a multi-storey car park and singing and dancing like a tool to awful house music.
    He looks like a crazy man, no wonder the lady looks hesitant when he beckons her to cross in front of him. I would be thinking, is this nutter going to drive over me when I get in front of him?

    'It's June, Dad' I wish he would reply 'No it isn't you daft bint, it's October'.
    And they had to change the 'I've seen the ads with Parky' bit to 'I've seen the ads on TV'


    Also has the old git has been spying in June's bedroom window with his binoculars? When she asks 'are you off hiking?' he gets very sheepish looking, puts them away and doesn't answer her. Pervalert!

    Confused.com where the two people try to get by and block each other off about a dozen or more times. So stupid that never happens more than 3 or 4 times in real life.

    I don't get that ad at all. Even my 11 year old pointed out that the ad is basically saying it's near impossible to win based on the craziness of the ad itself.

    The AIB ad where the man says “let’s take the risk, let’s really go for it now” It’s like listening to Fr Stone and his exceptionally droll voice from an episode of Fr Ted.

    The more I see that "Mum, no screens at the table" ad, the more it bugs the living **** out of me. I don't know what's worse, the moany little brat, or the mother and the indulgent smile she gives him, when in reality she'd be going "how many times have I told you not to interrupt me when I'm working". Couldn't even tell you what the damn thing is supposed to be advertising.
