    There's an ad where a guy dressed in mountaineering garb is actually crawling horizontally up a main street. when he suddenly lets out a series of piercing screams. Sounds like a real half wit. Don't know what they are trying to advertise, I wouldn't touch it anyway, I hate that ad so much.

    It’s Snickers, and that guy is not coming down off whatever he is on with a ****in snickers :D

    The PTSB one where the girl is buying a house . Why is she flirting with the estate agent ? I presumed she was buying it with her partner ?

    Welcome to the party. There's a whole novel written about that particular triangle by now.

    Mam.

    At least they're not saying "mom"....:mad:

    I'd love him to say to her.."OK mam...now, its 1000 a month and 1000 deposit...and thanks for selling your house which was worth twice this one....tea??"

    For what it's worth, I quite like that Bank of Ireland ad. I think it's pretty heartfelt (if a little unrealistic).
    Is there a bed in that room, or is that just a living room? :)

    Something along the same lines is the Cadbury ad on the bus (the crying girl and the kid who connects with her). I like that one too.

    One ad I really can't stand is the Virgin "Broadband Optimised" ad. I have started changing the channel when it's on (and it's on A LOT - nearly every ad break).

    There are some unwritten terms and conditions in a TSB mortgage...

    Is the red brick house that mam sells the same one that the ptsb couple buy? Mam would be loaded after selling that place.

    It's kind of what he is saying, it's a disgusting Ad I hate it on every level, oh and you can mind the kids for free while you're at it.....Mam.

    That guy has basically got 6balls n the lottery.....free childcare / housekeeper, probably mortgage free & it cost next to nothing to kit the room out.....just moved all the old tat from her place. His siblings must hate him.....their inheritance won't be amounting to much once he's finished

    That domino's ad .... Jesus H Christ who ever came up with that should be shot !!!!

    Everytime it comes on I change channel or turn sound to zero ....

    Talk about annoying

    I was looking for this thread just to post similar, it is the single most irritating advert in decades, I insta mute the tv or change channel when it comes on, it is genuinely that infuriating.

    ANY ad promoting betting....its worse than smoking imo...but usually go hand in hand...

    Agreed, maybe whoever thought up the ad also agrees. I don't know who thought barking dogs was a good idea for an ad.

    Her bedroom is in the converted attic up the spiral staircase which she paid for too....:p

    The new McDonald's ad with people laughing the entire way through it is horrendous. I've only seen it on UK TV. Hopefully it stays that way.

    I switched back from ITV to RTE to watch the football yesterday because the ads were so bad and frequent. UK ads are definitely more annoying. They still haven't moved on from this obsession with hiring bad singers to perform twee ****e over ads, which has been going on for years now.

    My sheer disdain for that ad is not waning. how is it these big companies feel the need to preach?
