Even more adverts you despise

That Lenor pellet ad where ur wan roars ‘WHAT IS IT?’ at the top of her voice. I hear it every morning at the same time on virgin media 1. Awful.

I like to think that at the end when grandad walks in, he looks up half jarred, sees the kid and think, ah for f*cks sake, I deliberately stayed in the pub til you were in bed.

I’ve also just realised that I have no idea what this ad is promoting. Which can’t be what they intended surely ?

Perfume ad.... It makes no sense.

Your post is basically a template for discussion on all perfume ads.

“Granddad, I knew you’d come”. You lying little git. If you knew he’d come why were you pestering everyone ? “Is he really coming ?”

I think he's practising for the "are we there yet? are we there yet?" goat part when he grows up.

The Hertz ad is ridiculous. Woman in car that has blatantly ignored servicing her car as the car has reminded her on the dashboard and is then shocked and angry when it breaks down.

It must be sent in Kildare circa 2004 seeing as the first thought when the service light comes on is to just replace it.

The Idris Elba Sky Christmas Ad. Is he desperate for work?
They should have at least dubbed it with someone who can sing.

Interestingly enough have you heard the radio version? Is it just me or is the radio version somebody entirely different trying to imitate his singing voice??

And yes, he is desperate for work clearly

New Homestore ad when your one tells the kid that “grandma’s moving in with us”

1. “Grandma” as if they’re living in the back arse of Ohio, so Americanised.

2. That’s hardly a celebration, “grandma” is moving in with us to be an absolute burden until the day she dies and we’ve moved you out of your bedroom kiddo into the box room to make a nanny flat for the old reprobate.
Best present would have been a brochure for the home they should have put her in.

The Stephen Mulherne ad with Santa in the barracks.
Your man is the worst Santa I have ever seen in my life.

Don't knock a marketing department's ability to come up with such an idea.
"Replace Car" dashboard light.

The Coke truck santa isn't the best looking one either. The "bring daddy home" one where the oil rig worker goes off on his unaccompanied mission through hell and high water. Probably sacked from his job for going AWOL. And if not that, for being an idiot disregarding safety protocols :pac:

I don't remember the name of the show, but I remember they showed an advert, and literally asked the people 'what was that an advert for?'

a) water, b) perfume, and c) clothing (or something similar).

The advert was for bottled water-didn't matter, it was just as nonsensical as you can imagine.

It comes across like the two on the bench are meeting up for illicit lesbian dogging but they have to communicate in code to not give the game away, yer wan looking through the telescope is the partner of one of them and Is stalking her because she suspects something.

That's exactly what goes through my mind when I see it.

That RTE Player ad with the Garrihy one who thinks she's funny. It's mainly her that grates on me in the ad. She might have a nice personality and be connected (i.e. definite 'ins' at RTE) but she's not funny.

I have heard it and I think you're right that it is a different person. And the singing in the radio ad is still woeful!

It really comes across as desperate and lazy when celebs/media personalities or whatever you want to call them do ads not related to promoting their own work

I always felt the Idris Elba hype machine (especially that woeful Bond traction) he was put on was too much. Really the problem with hiring an established actor to do this sort of ad is that, if the singing is not up to scratch, then everybody involved is too afraid to give criticism or go and overdub said actor.

The Idris Elba Sky movies Christmas ad. Please make it stop! It’s so naff, like something from the 80s.
And it’s on ALL the time.

The bad “singing” gives me a headache.

The guy in the Permanent TSB ad reminds me of Aidan Gillen's character from Game Of Thrones. He looks dodgy even for a banker. Weird, creepy ad.

I just assume it's a house someone was murdered in, and has been on the market years. That's why he has that creepy smile at the end.
That couple are next he's thinking

Woman puts on a fake beard and "hilarious" accent. Comedy gold. Not.

Definitely a bit of pull was involved to get that gig.

She’s connected alright. Ian Dempsey is her godfather. She was fast tracked though the communicorp radio ranks and then “poached” :rolleyes: by RTÉ. Her agent is Noel Kelly so bar them finding child porn on her laptop she will be around for a lonnnnnnnng time.

The UK wine ad with smug gits pretending they're going down stairs to their 'wine cellars'. Oh feck off will yiz!

My mam is Grandma....her Mam was Grandma and so on. She is Scottish though and that's pretty standard there.

That Rennie ad is terrible. The voiceover creeps me out so much, and yer man at the end has the most punchable face I've seen on TV. I'm not buying Rennie again.
