    I can't think of the Vodafone one, but if it's on a par with some of the others listed, I'm probably better off :D

    I don't mind the monster one, but it's on soooooooooooo often.
    I have to silence Aunt Viv, and the Maltesers one makes me want to kick the tv.

    Please someone make it stop.

    No disrespect to the child, but I hate the ad. The voiceover also makes me want to scream.

    The aviva ad where the aul one is been driven to the dating for seniors and the young one had to brake suddenly, if I was driving I'd **** the aul one out of the car the way she reacted.

    The seemingly endless stream of Bank ad's are absolutely awful.

    Banks are losing money and want to get people borrowing again or get them to pay for keeping their money.

    The thing is, for me it's scarily accurate. When I drive my aged mother, she cringes at every manoeuvre and complains I drive too fast (I don't).
    Yet, when the brother drives it's a different story, no cringing or complaints.
    He does speed, and brakes extremely late in my opinion.

    I get where you coming from, but a) I'm a female, and b) my childhood nickname was 'Speedy Gonzales' because I was so slow to do anything when asked!

    Oh, and my mother is a widow these past 15 years or so, and is absolutely delighted to be single - no 'Dating for Seniors' required!

    Today I saw one for drugs where a pharmacist and a flowerist meet on the street. The Pharmacist does a hard sell for his new drug, on the street, in a most unsincere way, and she laps it up. Very pasta dust!

    The latest backing brave ad from the kings of annoying needlessly expensive ads, AIB. Can't stand the voice over. He's sounding way too happy to be working for those fu*kers.
    AIB consistently make some of the most annoying ads on telly. They have started showing that one again where the girl is having a panic attack in her kitchen because she doesn't have a bank account.

    She has the most affected yank accent I think I've ever heard on an Irish person.

    Cat melodeon indeed. But this girl is putting on the full yankee doodle dandy.
    She exposes her roots however when she says 'A Oi B'.
    A bit of the bog creeping through.

    I found the ad...

    Seems to be standard on Irish tv/radio advertising now, just chronic.

    I noticed Barry's tea have a habit of dubbing the main actresses voices.

    The one with the 'actress trying to make it'... with the bad cover of the Proclaimers, is one such example.

    Found the actress on youtube... turns out there's a reason she's dubbed. She's got an accent like she's the female Boris Johnson.

    And I have no idea where the hell the accent came from.

    yeah saw that one, it is so contrived with the florist gushing to hear of this new drug. It feels like we're going down the American route when it comes to advertising painkillers. Plus I didnt know pharmacists are allowed to be drug pushing out in the streets either but there you go.

    The dental ad which starts off with the girl in the gym Going "hiippss!","bum!" and so on,whose teeth are so white they could be seen from space. Go away,please........all bank ads. Complete hypocrisy from them, of course.

    It feels like a scene from a really bad soap opera with acting to match.

    I don't really find it annoying, don't know how it's supposed to increase sales of listerine, but, at least it's memorable and we know what it's advertising, still not sure what the hysterical woman shouting "hiippss!, bum!" is advertising, is it Colgate?

    Oral B toothpaste.
    That lady must have dentures by now, that ad has been going for so long.

    Shows what a poor ad it is, it's on constantly for the last year or so and I still didn't know which toothpaste its advertising. Some ads after watching them once you know what product they are selling, others are too generic or vague and the product being advertised gets lost

    I would say it has been on for at least 5 years. But maybe it just seems so long as it's so annoying :confused:

    Look at her fridge when she takes out a pepper... She's got a whole shelf of loose peppers in there. Is she going to eat it like an apple?
