    That Ad really grinds my gears. Pompous, probably overpaid Celtic Tiger type prick has a completely unrealistic conversation with some minion - probably himself to save employing somebody else to make a truly woeful Ad.

    That ladies Gaelic football one has a similar thumping/shouting soundtrack as the Go Loud headache inducing ad.

    Is there some kind of description for the kind of sub-aural assault that these two ads employ? It's like the kind of the kind of noise you'd use to de-program sleeper agents. Not pleasant to experience.

    It's more like a parody of Marlon Brando in the Godfather it's that bad.

    Heard an ad a couple of times this week, with a shouty woman and mumbling man on the telephone, she's yelling something about newness, I think?? It's incredibly annoying. I have no idea what it is for, but it is painful listening.

    Not as badly as those Eurovision has beens. I don't know how often I hear "We were the rock & roll kids...." on Classic repeats every single work day.

    This too shall pass.

    Latest bathroom design ad, telling a 'story' with taps and bathroom fixtures. Some wittering on about having a box of crayons and being able to use all the colours.

    "It's like sitting beside your favourite player and he's like 'you know your stuff' and you're like 'This is the best'".

    And I'm like- "what a pathetic little man you are".

    The Supermacs Bacon and Cheddar ad.

    Why did they get Norman Price to say the line
    'Can I get bacon and cheese on that please?'

    Yes yes yes! It's the most horrible thing (just after Deirdre) - I have to listen to it in work umphteens time a day.

    Its "Martin! MAAAAARTIN!" and then she's on about a word mixed from "new" and "used" (newsed?), its a car ad, but whatever car it is, I'll never ever buy it. If I ever find out the actual brand that is.

    But still...Deirdre is worse.

    That pensions ad.

    "and you're sure this horse is a winner .... ?

    Oh yeah, yeah, yeah"

    Center Parcs outdoing themselves lately with the Christmas ads.

    Santa doesn't live in the fupping Midlands!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,910 ✭✭✭Gwynplaine


    The drummer in the kitchen. So stupid. I dont even know what the ad is for.

    That Air France ad is doing my nut in at the moment.

    “Air France, France, Le France”, grrrrrrrrrrrr

    Donal from the island.

    The smug way he says teabags, sausages and crisps.

    Infuriating.

    And what's worse still is it that it gives oxygen to the spas that actually do ring up emergency services with equally stupid requests.

    What annoys me about this ad is the way he first says "This is an emergency" and then completely changes tone and says "ah no we just want sausages and crisps". I would have prosecuted the pr1ck for wasting the resources of the emergency services. :mad::mad:

    "Imagine being handed a box of crayons and being told that you can only use one colour. Imagine being able to use every crayon in the box".

    Seems like the marketing team that came up with this advertisement only had one coloured crayon.

    That new Skoda ad with the woman screaming NEUSSSSSSSEDDDDD. Bloody hell.
