    It's the Michelle Keegan/ Kardashian/ Jenner effect- the girls get into their late teens, 20s, and then butcher their faces. Bloody tragic.
    The woman who ages naturally is always beautfiul.
    The plastic 'not-so-fantastic' women are just...horrible.

    Especially when it is technically still in 'beta'.

    I can not remember which comedian, but somebody used have a part of their routine talking about Plastic Surgery, and being the guinea pig. It is not a perfected practice and nobody knows how you will look after it has been performed on you before it is done. Add to that, in your 20's your features are still changing so chances are that you will look even worse in a few years..

    The iPad Pro.

    I feel a little bit of vomit coming up every time the neighbour comes out the back door and says "Hey. Whatchya doing on your computer?"

    "What's a computer?"

    Ugh.

    It has to play into their offspring's psyche too-that they don't look anything like their mom/ dad or whatever.
    I think even Bonnie Tyler spoke about that-how you'll have kids being born with questions about parentage due to one or the other parent getting work done.
    Imagine being a kid and having an element of 'they look nothing like their mom/ dad'.
    The whole 'looking for a face like mine' has to trouble them.

    Add latest Gucci Bloom advert to very long list of irritating "reimagining's" of a well known song in a depressing tone, this time Wild Horses by The Rolling Stones.

    The TUI holidays ad, where the girl with the gap in her teeth is miming, badly to "ain't nobody".

    I don't know what it is exactly about the ad but its one of:
    - the bad miming
    - the lack of effort from her
    - the poor cover version itself

    Got it! Her top lip doesn't move while she's singing!

    Samsung galaxy. The girl uses her phone to plan a backpacking trip. It has a voice over by a bloke with a super annoying ozzie accent.

    That's the OzzieMan on Facebook. He's rather blunted in the corporate gigs!

    The Gucci Guilty ad. What is that about, apart from flogging perfume?

    That advert is kind of bizarre-they recruit Dakota Johnson for it, but she's hardly seen (any model woulda done, it's not as if you can tell) but she undoubtedly got paid a lot to appear in it.

    Perfume adverts tend to be bizarre-but that one just comes across as a tad lazy and generic.

    That awful ad that tells us all the things we can do with €1000 rather than using it to pay a fine if we don't pay our TV licence.There are a lot of things I could do with €160 other than wasting it on the obnoxious licence.

    Why the hell do they keep reviving that ad? It must be running longer than the Shake N Vac woman originally did at this stage.

    That series of ads are particularly grating. All these betting companies are so crass and stereotypical in their writing.

    There was an ad on for James Joyce doc on RTE 1, I think it was on Wednesday night.

    At the end of the ad the lady gave the title of the programme, but they way she pronounced it I could have sworn she said 'James Joyce, A Sh*te in the Street' instead of 'A Shout in the Street'.

    Yes! I thought the very same, it sounded like sh1te, instead of shout.

    Given Joyces obsession with scat (he mentions ****ting loads of times in his letters) it's very apt.

    The head of advertising at Lotto is probably a weirdo who likes to dress up like a baby on weekends.

    If the sexes were reversed in that ad, there'd be a right sh1tstorm!!
