Fighting Tao

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

Any add selling you a car that will “ change your life “

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

I've not seen it since the World Cup ended, hopefully it never airs again

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

At the start I liked it but now I just find it cringe!

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.

On the same topic. Have you ever bought anything you’ve seen advertised on mainstream TV ?

I love that Haribo ad makes me laugh every time

"The island" has been way overdone

There you go different strokes for different folks. Can’t abide it

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.

Good point.. They really should up their game in that regard

The Guinness ad at Christmas. It's been the same for years now. The guy that says, "Don't forget to turn the lights off" was my boss years ago.

Such a dick, not sure how he made his way from a hotel manager to acting so quickly. Makes me scramble for the remote every time..

Wonderful expression. Great name for a new TV show.

...A lot of what I own?

Food (both specific brands and the store I bought them in). Clothes. Cars. Banking products. Services. Technology.

Ads are annoying, and I don't know how effective these things are since I would probably have bought a lot of them anyway (I have to eat, be decent in public, go places, finance my life, and have phone/internet/etc.), but it's nuts to suggest most people don't own and use a lot of products they've seen advertised on TV.

Tbh most of the other adverts are even more embarrassing.

Ruined my driving aspirations and all, they couldn’t make anything look more knobbier now I don’t have a bank account I don’t sleep I don’t eat....I could not give juan sheet anymore

Noveight

The Mace ads where everyone ends up with an emoji head. “Get your Mace face on” or something. Awful tripe.

Ciderswigger

What’s that one where the voice over is like “this is Brian (or whatever) and this is his girlfriend and they like to go rally driving. Did you ever crash?” Once. We lost a wheel.

Dammit. I’m explaining it badly and can’t think what it’s for but it annoys the absolute shïte out of me especially when they’re in the car and the gf say “push her”.

There's a strange ad for Clearscore where the husband is really angry with the wife over buying an avocado. It's horrible, he's really menacing towards her. I don't quite get the tone of the ad.

I would never suggest that people don’t buy products that are advertised on tv . My question is have you ever bought a product that was hyped on tv. For example a car that will “charge your life “
