Worst Ad on TV

BolBill

I know this was an old thread but I couldn't find it.

The gaviscon ad with yer wan directing the traffic is going to make me kick my TV out of the window pretty soon. I HATE THE AD !!!!!!


Anyone else?

aidan_walsh

Its an impossible call, IMO...

ixoy

Crazy Frog. 'Nuff said.

beardedchicken

personally, my skin crawls every time i see that ad for uncle bens or whatever it is, with all those tools dancing around their kitchen pretending to be indian. how the hell does bringing your thumb and forefinger together in front of your face signify something's indian?? stoopid!

oh, and of course, the creators of crazy frog must die a slow and horrible death.

Yeah, i started that thread by naming my top 3 Ads that irritate me.

My Top 3 were:

Lisa Simpson with the Irish accent ad
The waste disposal ad with the frisky oul one and the gardener and..
..can't remember the 3rd ad off the top of my head..

Anyways, I think everyone pretty much hates that Lemsip Max Strength ad!

"This sorts the men from the boys!"

That Gaviscon heartburn ad with the woman directing the traffic is a real head-wrecker also.

And all those ringtone ads... Crazy Frog is especially annoying!

talking_walnut

That RTÉ ad for Tuesday nights when they have Desperate Housewives and that plastic surgery program on is annoying me at the minute.

"Decision time"?
Whats to decide? It's not like the programs are on at the same time. Makes no sense

But just in case it wasn't clear, that fcukin crazy frog, aaaaaaaaagggggggghhhhhh

oh yeah, I nearly forgot "57777"

*counts to ten in an effort to calm down*

Sue, suey I'm smooooking

She is the all time top of all worst adds ever bar none there is nothing worse, Not even the crazy frog add.

Crazy Frog wins it for me.

Buck Owens

"well Pal with out you around the Merger was going to go down the Pan"

'For South Park Fans'...Shut the Fcuk Up right Now.

Also like to add that Mortage Ad with the Mafia guy in the couples bedroom and the Mam sitting in the corner and youire wan "MUM! what are you doing here?" in that Fair city American Accent. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

tk123

That stop smoking ad where they have an aorta or something and squeeze all the gunge out - i don't smoke and it makes me want to puke..oh and crazy frog is a close second!

_sheep

Crazy frog, and a close second would be any 'i threw myself down the stairs and won 15k compensation with national claims direct'

Shrimp

The Lemsip Ad.. se sig..

Pigman II

3rd) 'Shall I tell you about my life, said the man of the world' (actually I enjoy watching the car crash bit ... I just hate that awful droaning tune)


2nd) The recycling ads with that Hobbit & the grandma from 'give my head peace'.



1st) 'Ian I thought you were sick? With you gone our account with brylcream was about to go down pan. ACTUALLY PAL ... IT WASNT!' *wooh handbags ladies*

kmick

How about all the ads for cleaning products that try and freak out mothers i.e.

"Do you know your childs high chair contains 50% more bacteria than your floor"
Complete Bull****

"Your toilet brush is not clean you want one that sprays out white stuff"
Yeah we know toilets brushes are not clean they clean toilets.

"Spray all these alpine fresh sprays" - yeah our sister company is a pharmaceutical and they will sell you drugs when you become allergic to all the toxins in the alpine fresh.

you really missed the point of that ad, didn't you..

Shrimp

Lol.. yeah.. that ad's quiet good i think... :rolleyes:

Zapho

What about that one for being rewarded for good driving? At the start me man is doing 30mph and the sign says 40? Doesn't sound very good to me! And then the next guy sticks his hand out the window to signal to the other driver to stop, which is completely stupid! Oh crikey i didn't realise that you're car wasn't moving there, sorry! And the arm signal he used was the one to show that he is slowing down, there is no hand signal to tell someone else to stop! Errrrr!

Yeah and hes in an open top car and its a freckin' van coming up behind him, Stevie Wonder would be able to see over the car to whatever is making them have to stop !!!!
Plus hes a smug looking bástard

Any add asking if you have CCJs...Christ it sounds like something a cow would have. Also "Have you been in an accident lately...bla bla bla....." I really just hate ads, there are no more original ones on telly anymore. Even the Carlsberg ones are getting crap. And that one with your one giving up smoking, that's just the worst idea ever. You know some spotty kid new to advertising just threw that idea in there and the hangovered execs decided togo with it. She's even on bus stops now...."one week on and im doing fine"....Ive never wished cancer on anyone before but boy.....

D!ve^Bomb!

elephant.co.uk, that's elephant.co.uk

and let's not forget the concern adds, a good cause?..... yes, do they piss me off?....... yes!

grimloch

i agree with a few others who said the crazy frog ad, it actually induces rage for me

kinkstr

crazy wanky frog ad and the tarot add on tv3

The ads for Yakult with the geek going on about his "friendly bacteria"

aidan_walsh

TV3s "Dial a Minger" late night chat line ads, and those new Fruice "Its a natural thing" ones...

tintinr35

"hi im barry scott and i use cillit bang"
Who the fcuk is barry scott and why would i trust his opinion on why to buy this. what the hell is cillit any way and why would i wanna bang it.

i also hate that add with linda martain telling you to join some loan crowd... ya just cause you won the eurovision in 1908 and then went on to pollute our tv screen with 2 series of your a spa and then god knows how many painfull hours of the lyrics board does not mean i am gonna get a loan from some dodgy company that at the end of the day will prop reposess your house.
how does that crap band on the lyrics board manage to know every fcukn song under the sun. what knobjockies!!!!! :cool:

I love that ad!
If you look up some new-fangled dictionary with video on it for 'mature joke' i.e. not including toilet humour, that pretty cool dictionary would play that ad.

Mr E

2 other really bad singing ads have popped up lately. One for a magazine called "Pick Me Up", with a bunch of fupping eejits singing Build Me Up Buttercup (some in stupid voices for comedy effect) and its absolutely terrible.

Even worse is the new ad for KFC (a man singing to his girlfriend asking for a bite of her food, and her singing back 'no'.). I just sat there shaking my head thinking "how can they make them any worse?". Then I thought of the frog.

It didn't bother me as much at the start, but now that I've seen it 4524154 times it's beginning to grate - although, I have to admit, the asian guy standing there in the background listening to all the awful singing and just casually taking a bite of his burger is class
