  • I think it's Homestore and More, there's an ad where a child is awful upset about not getting a part in a school play, goes home and gets cheered up. It just has absolutely nothing to do with the product. I'm not inspired, I'm confused.

    The one where the child is wearing a school uniform at her family bbq and appears to be doing a presentation about a bush?

    That family man from the Aldi ad who gave up football for biscuits has to be a serious contender for Ireland's Most Annoying Man. He makes Dermot Bannon seem bearable!

  • That new Guinness ad about pubs reopening with Barry keoghan

    at least I think it was him....

    Such a Preachy and fake tone to it

    And then the passive aggressive patronising “telling off” at the end

    “You have the pubs back open - let’s make it last ok??”

    Whole thing is awful


    +1. What a load of absolute sh1te and him of all people to be lecturing the public.

    I for one would love to hear a few stories - you could create a new thread and link it here, so that this one doesn't go off topic.

    That one with the young one bawling on the bus is dreadful. The soundtrack for the bus is like something from the 1930's...

    It's a horrible ad. I don't get the point of it, do they need her money from her sold house to get a place of their own? Why would she want a new living room that's the same as her old one? She appears to be still grieving, why uproot her?

    In the PTSB ad why is the mortgage advisor so happy for them? In real life he would be jealous, he's probably on about 28K a year and therefore a long way off getting his own house.

    Yep, its all about the WILL, ole dear is obviously paying for the new gaff so they threw her a bone, also saving a few €€€€, just moving the old tat from the old house into "her" room

    Yeah, she looks like a perfectly healthy woman. Great deal for them getting a live-in babysitter and can now buy a lovely new family home with the money from the house sale, while she looks miserable.

    Another thing annoying about the ad - the house that’s being sold has Roman numerals on a plaque for the house number. Is this really a thing? Are some people that pretentious?

    And there is the unspoken thing where they will be able to redecorate that room in a few years anyway.

    Wait until she needs a nursing home and there's no fair deal available because mammy sold her house.. It's a horrible Ad on so many levels, obviously cooked up by some young one who hasn't dealt with elderly parents yet and just sees them as cash cows...

    Volvo have a new ad which has someone says the Google activation word. Annoys my nest everytime.

    This too shall pass.

    That ****ing virgin broadband ad, it's as if they deliberately made everything about it annoying as possible:

    The mopey, depressing look on the woman's face.
    The awkward jigging along to the Dephece Mode song
    Irritating future scenarios
    It never seems to end
    Constantly asking "what about the future?" Nobody wants to think about the ****ing future for Christ's sake! The future means more bills followed by death.

    Completely agree. There’s something really annoying about them portraying themselves as constantly improving when their customer service is a nightmare when you have a problem. It comes across as smug and self-satisfied.

    Littlewoods
    Lidl
    Allianz

    GAA ads are all the same add, the Allianz ad being by far the worst of the 3.

    Allianz says "Fear V Courage and it starts as a level playing field "
    Lidl says "We played anyway... Until we level the playing field"
    Littlewoods "Style meets Substance ... more than sacrifice ... it substance here to stay"


    The Allianz one is particularly in contrast to the fantastic video for the song that they use on it, Gosh by Jamie XX.

    I have to pause that and forward past it when its on. Seems to be on every ad break. Along with the farmer and Liam....

    Must give Baz credit all the same for turning his hacking experience into an advertisement opportunity. Its not too unlike Bernie Ecclestone getting mugged for his Hublot and then getting an ad out of it :D Lemons into Lemonade

    What sort of twisted mind could come up with the 'eat them to defeat them' campaign.
    Telling your child that vegetables are evil and are trying to take over the world :confused: That'll really make them want to finish their dinner :rolleyes:
