The ALDI rugby ad. Just so annoying.

Marketing execs, stop putting kids in ads. Its not cute. Its annoying. On this page the three main votes for adverts we despise are:

Maxol: Kid plays "cracking GAA game"
AIB: Precocious kid does more research on his new possible home than either his parents or the estate agent
Aldi Rugby ad: Annoying kid rehearsing his motivational speech.

And dont get me started on the haribo ads with the adults lip syncing to the kids talking about the sweets. :rolleyes:

The ad for Asda with the woman saying "That's better" every second.
She sounds so thick and it's beyond annoying.

The Fiat Tipo ad with the tune to "That's Amore" is being played every fking ad break and I HATE IT.

The ad for McVities Chocolate Digestive Nibbles. Just a fancy name for broken biscuits. And on a similar theme, what's with this Micellar water. If I want to put water on my face, I'll stick my head under the tap, or out the window. Rant over.

My girlfriend pointed out that the woman in those ads has a really oddly stained, hoarse tinge in her voice that really gets into your head. Once she pointed it out it's all I could hear.

I'm out of the country now so dunno if it's the same ad you're talking about, but that one was never off the box.

yes, very peculiar vocals - got to be UK English speaking woman but I couldnt geographically pinpoint where "its out with the tap, and in with the Quooker!" - last time I checked the prices were something like 650 UK Pounds for one, not cheap ... but snazzy

Gadgetman496 · 24-09-2016 12:15AM

They're double that price according to this

DaithiMa · 24-09-2016 12:15AM

That Subway ad. Boom! You ordered a poxy roll mate. Hardly a life altering experience. Steak and Chorizo me bollix.

Micellar water dissolves make-up. Water doesn't.

These high brow business HP adverts on TV3 - there was one just now in the AD break of the x-Factor ... i mean like anyone who watches x-factor has a brain .... haha does that mean I haven't got a brain? LOL .. so be it

NufcNavan · 26-09-2016 08:36PM

Another contender. That Euromillions ad with the island. Just a lazy rehash of almost every lotto ad ever made in Ireland.

SILVAMAN · 26-09-2016 08:38PM

The chords at the end of RTE weather for Avonmore milk-before that it was the woman singing Oh Danone.....

Fall in love with toilet roll and never be distracted from toilet roll ever again. What??

Andy From Sligo · 26-09-2016 11:36PM

The Kinder Surprize advert .. she asks if she could ask A question and then proceeds to ask about 4 or 5 questions! ... talk about taking the p*ss !

Came here to post that. It induces a cringegasm for me.

And they lost that game too.

SILVAMAN · 27-09-2016 01:28PM

Anything with Craig Doyle...or Conor Mullan's voice.

Shannon757 · 27-09-2016 07:31PM

Te new Vodafone ad with all the lads with moustaches.

amdublin · 27-09-2016 09:45PM

Mod warning.

Thread cleaned up

Less of the abusive name calling of kids.
Less of the abusive ranting about ads. Just say why you dislike the ad without the all the emotion and abuse. The thread is called Adverts you despise, not Rudely Abuse ads you despise.

colm_mcm · 27-09-2016 10:15PM

Any ad for detergent capsules featuring children, then warning to keep them away from children. Maybe they could try making them less attractive to children instead?

Thargor · 28-09-2016 03:56PM

I hate lotto ads so much, every one is worse than the one before.

my3cents · 28-09-2016 05:18PM

My wife just said "Wat doing" in funny accent as I walked past her in the kitchen :rolleyes:

Well thats one advert thats made its mark :mad:

ollaetta · 29-09-2016 01:21AM

The Snickers one with the mime artists. The first Joan Collins one had novelty for a while, the Rowan Atkinson one less so but this one is just flogging a very a tired idea. Fail.

The boxer dog who says "what doing?" - is so F***ing cute.

Don'y even remember what it advertised.

neris · 30-09-2016 10:43PM

The money supermarket ads with the "builders" & guys in hotpants and high heels is quite disturbing

colm_mcm · 01-10-2016 07:16PM

Yes. Kids in insurance ads, like that hello.ie or low.ie or whatever it is.

stoneill · 02-10-2016 11:08AM

Any add that claim their product is "two times faster" rather than twice as fast.

Shannon757 · 02-10-2016 01:31PM

The More Than ad with the ****e song.

Pablo7285 · 02-10-2016 07:40PM
