    What happened to Tim and Tom, also John and James? Did they OD on Gaviscon?

    As if the Haribo ads couldn't get worse now they have a child speaking like a man. Hate those ads.

    The Duracell "Iron Man" advert.

    Can anyone explain to me how a toy being operated for the camera with a stick stuck up its arse needs batteries?

    I tolerated the 'kids' voices-didn't seem too bad, they mostly did em okay.

    But the adult voice-that's seriously weird. It just breaks up the whole suspension of disbelief.

    I've never wanted an inanimate object to spawn a limb and attack someone before, but I wish that sofa in Owen Wilsons ad would make a fist and batter the smug out of him. Horrendously annoying.

    Whatever about the LSD induced smiling heads, but whoever thought that absolute travesty of a song was the perfect match for it needs to be taken out and shot.

    The original song by Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel is a classic but that version is horrific.

    The Irish Rail ad where your man stays on the train, driving me bonkers. They should have picked a morning train from Drogheda or Maynooth to Connolly, now that really would be hilarious.

    All Trivago ads. I don't think I've ever taken such an instant dislike to someone in my life. I will never ever use Trivago

    The Corsodyl ad, "if you spit blood", what an enticement to buy a product. Plus the ladies with their discreet underwear, if you keep telling everyone about it, it's not very discreet.

    'HA HA HA HA HA HA HA THAT'S A HEADBOMB!!!!'

    The first version of this advert was a headwrecker, and people kindly asked them to stop showing it.

    So what do they do-reedit it, make a different version, and now it's worse.

    The current one for KBC Bank purely down to this brief bit in the middle that shows a montage of suited w@nkers throwing shapes including this really smug looking middle aged woman doing some kind of cringy disco dance.

    Carlsberg used to have deadly ads. The one with the best flatmates in the world is an all-time classic.

    But now....they have the creepy Danish Hannibal entering a boat where he proceeds to perv on a couple about to get it on, and then robs a fellas pint. Scandalous.

    Careful-he's got a strong female fanbase...I should know, I hear it from plenty of young women.

    Those darn Carlsbergs ads were so good-the got banned for 'promoting a positive lifestyle based on alcohol' thus encouraging alcoholism. Flipping ridiculous tbh.
    Twas the beginning of the 'don't hurt anyone's feelings' movement.



    According to details, Lenny Abrahamson directed the advert. He of Room and Adam and Paul.

    the Renault /starwars advert , too much cringe

    Atrocious ad campaign. Whoever green lit that should be fired. I do think it's for a great cause, just done completely wrong. Should be a lot more 'softly softly' instead of the violent urgency that YOUR HEAD IS GOING TO EXPLODE BECAUSE OF THE THINGS YOU ARE THINKING!

    I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but every single Extra ad is pure shíte.

    The latest one where the couple are...erm... "courting", parents come home and the lad goes "feck it" opens the door in just jeans and the dad gives him the creepiest grin.

    How could they possibly think thats a good idea? Vodafone and Sky are so obnoxious with their ads, Idris Elba at the minute on every channel with kids screaming Ramona at him over and over, its torture.

    Nothing to be careful about, could anybody be upset or want to defend him?! I expect his own mother/wife/daughter would have to shrug and say "ah yeah, sure you have to admit he is a dodgy looking cnut and puts chills up my spine, probably has a sex dungeon brimming with victims"
