    Virgin Media ads. Stop spending a fortune on advertising while increasing prices and reducing service!

    That grating Hyundai/Maroon 5 ad during the World Cup. Couldn’t have hit that mute button faster any time it came on.

    Strangely enough I like that one. Maybe it’s that I have a few kids around that age

    All of them.
    My intense hatred for ads is one of the main reasons I rarely watch television any more.

    I don't like the Ulster Bank add for the sofa either.
    They basically say give your old tat to the charity shop.
    Then they go off and buy an uncomfortable looking sofa.

    Haven't seen an ad in about 10 years.

    Do people still watch TV? Even "hi tech" people who do boards.ie?

    Totally agree. Any add that is pretentious enough to suppose you have heard the previous add is grating

    Ad annoys me as they don’t use Irish voices for Ireland.

    I hate companies that don’t think Ireland is a different market to the UK.

    You come home ,you're starving, sit down with a bit of dinner/tea /supper (that's me being inclusive), and every bastard ad that is designed to put you off eating for life, comes on the t.v.

    Leaky ladies and their solutions, how to stop the runs, starving children in full graphic detail, hospital patients with tubes and wires coming out of their tubes and wires, and more besides.

    And then the guilt, because I feel sorry for all these folks.
