Even more adverts you despise

Exactly. It's a cynical ploy to use Christmas to make these guys looks like soft, cuddly companies instead of viewing people as cash cows.

Yep, lots go for these sentimental tear jerky ads. Last I saw was for 3, some girl with a sick pet cloud.

The Tesco ads with the letters, 'tanks mam for the stuffing' annoy me. I don't even know or care why these people are writing letters or how it relates to Tesco.

Worse is the Dunnes Xmas Ad. I keep waiting for Republic of Telly to do a X rated parody of it.

"He walked through the streets looking in all the windows and never had he felt such joy before. John was new to voyeurism but it gave him a real thrill. There was Biddy O'SUllivan in her pink frillies. And Tina Murphy trying on her christmas knickers.."

I exagerate a bit, but a guy feeling "immense joy" from looking in the windows is a bit creepy.

I said

Tesco s aunty Bridget ad.Need I say anymore

That Grant boiler ad. It's shockingly bad.

"Thank you Grandad for this basic necessity of heat that my failure of a father couldn't provide".

Never mind the granny. The granddad lording it in his warm home is enough.

Yes, I was less than overjoyed to see that creepy ad return.

That f***ing eir ad with them stupid kids singing that "hummmanawnamawhumannamaw" Ugh drives me up the wall.

castletownman

The ad for the new Gaiety Panto.

The "this is no owdinawy panto...." tag line is bad enough, but the Nanny Knickerbocker Gloria "rhyming" intro is without doubt the most irritating part of any advert on either telly or radio at present.

So I created the original Adverts you Despise thread back in 2007, it's now 2016 and we're on Thread #2 and more than 10,000 despised adverts. Do I get a prize or something? I accept bitcoin.

Also I haven't posted on the thread in a long time. But, I've been streaming a lot of football from American channels over the past couple of years and our adverts have nothing on what's shown over there. Some utter dross.

Anyone recognise this guy?

Potsch Boyd? Criminal Minds.

Royale with Cheese

Yeah I Googled him last night, that's him. He does a load of ads for Chevrolet in America, running these fake focus groups that they claim are real. They're abysmal.

I started this thread. Should we split the prize?

It's Emirates not Eithad.

That ad for the Late Late Toy Show is highly irritating. Tubridy looking like a creep and loads of stage school children. All that was missing was jazz hands. It is then finished off with an annoying squeaky childs voice.

ligerdub

"In just a few days time, this will be like a magic kingdom" forced smile of excitement, montage of him hugging kids.....disingenuous to the nth degree.

Screeching Billy Barry type brats and that gobshyte making a tool of himself. Whats not to hate?

Auld Jim Halpin

This rubbish, Mentos advert,seen it twice and hate it, who comes up this nonsense. It's like the kids in the ad also actually run the marketing company that made it.

Yeah, but Jennifer Aniston;


Back on topic; I see that Maltesers ad has resurfaced. The one with the blonde giving the bf the push because she saw him kissing a.n.other outside the office. What's with the bloody stupid high pitched voice? Dogs must go mental when it comes on.

ligerdub

Horrific ad. Let's see the genders reversed on that one.

Theres a really smug new Lynx ad where the first thing it asks is something like "Who needs looks when you've got the nose"??? and the actor they chose for that seems to be Abed from community? Its bizarre.

Eir that horrendous cretinous company trying to stir up some sort of patriotic Irish pride with that truly annoying song feels like an exercise of patronising pulling the wool over the eyesery on some unsuspecting easily impressionable people. Can't stand their ads. They're still that awful Eircom under that flashy brand revamped bonnet

Steve and Rachel/Rachel and Steve is a disagreement on how you say something.
Emirates and Etihad are two completely different airlines.
