Those bloody Lotto ads. So someone wins a few mill on the lotto, and all they can think of is to build a great big water slide ? Really, Lotto people, is this what you’re selling us ?

There's a version of the TUI ad where the - thud, thud - comes in a beat earlier, messes with my head! 🙉

The Tesco ad with the child who couldn't read and his mother taught him how to read using recipes is back again! Different people this time. It was on the UK version of Channel 4. I hope it doesn't pop up in Ireland!

The (Samsung?) radio ad where some pillock keeps saying “awesome” in an very extended and annoying fashion. Jesus it boils my piss.

spookwoman · 08-05-2022 8:16pm

Lidl just seem to be topping it for annoying ads. The one with the kid talking to the baby about the nappies is bloody awful

What the hell has getting pregnant got to do with B&Q?

Fed up of these companies trying to pull on the heartstrings.

Nationwide UK with couples babbling on about something but it's really one talking over the other, the latter barely just getting a ye.. in edgeways.

Everyone waits till they get pregnant to start doing their place up. Duh 😜

Is that woman in the new Sky/Netflix ad the same large breasted woman from the Claire Byrne radio ad?

You can go anywhere in a Skoda but sure as f***ing hell ,you won’t be seeing shooting stars with the cloud cover in Ireland!!!!

AndrewJRenko · 15-05-2022 5:18pm

I have to confess to enjoying the new Three ad with the lizard. Maybe because of my soft spot for anthemic Jim Steinman songs...

Heard this horror on the car radio, and was so annoyed by it, I dived at the radio to mute the pillock, nearly running in to the car ahead of me.😲

Only heard it once, and that was more than enough. Nauseating.

Does anyone remember the time when there used to be a few ads on that people liked?

As if 2021/22 wasn't bad enough, practically every ad is cringe and or annoying. Surely there was lots of time for brainstorming via zoom to come up with something vaguely entertaining or enjoyable. Even the meerkat ads have gone to sh1t.

Domino-yoho! - Someone in an ad agency somewhere thought this was worthy of going on TV. Really?

Horny mam - My dad says its meant to be a parody of Edwina from Absolutely Fabulous. Either way, it gets muted any time it comes on

The Poonami ad coming on just at dinner time last night. Put me right off my steak and gravy pie.

"How are you dad", seems to be universally hated and rightly so.

Not seen it mentioned, and I do like him as an athlete but the Johnny Sexton sandwich ad irritates me.

Edit: Just saw a post which reminded me of the stupid f**king Malteasers ad. Aside from the fact the wilfull destruction of Malteasers should be an arrestable crime, it's on every single ad break. I could do a better ad for malteasers using two Lego men and some stop-motion animation.

ShamNNspace · 18-05-2022 5:34pm

Has Michael o Muiraheartaigh's sandwich add been consigned to the archives?

I'm at a loss to know why that damn Malteasers ad is still on. The thing is they used to have some decent ones with picking up a malteaser on the pregnant womans belly with a straw or something like that. But this stupid one has been on for at least a decade. I'm pretty sure it's been on since at least London 2012.

I switch off to do something else during tv ads, or fast forward if replaying, but am more exposed to radio ads. The most offensive to my ears is the tuneless “singing” in the It’s a doddle radio ad. That man should be executed and she should be anaesthetised. I gather it’s deliberately irritating simply to gather attention.

Someone replied and said they think it's 10 years. lol

But apparantly it is 2016! Unbelievable.

I find the most annoying ads the ones with added singing, particularly the “quirky” female singing ones. The latest offender is the one singing about “ this is our year, it took a long time to come “. Couldn’t tell you what it’s advertising, which means it’s not even doing its basic job.

I wonder is part of the problem that there's really not that many industries that can afford TV advertising these days. It seems to be mostly;

Car companies
Mobile phone / broadband / TV companies
Big name food and toiletries companies

There's just not as many advertisers as there used to be, so we're getting more repetition with the remaining fews.

Insurance.

Charities, can well afford them, including one particularly infamous Irish one...

Supermarket chains.

Banks.

The 'Loddo'

The GAA (their sponsors mainly)

The Hunky Dory ad with the screaming gimp. Who the **** wants to listen to that relaxing in front of the TV?

Yeah, I was just showing the difference in how good those characters where, the nurses came along with a few others included a 2 deaf teachers.

"Give a doubt".

Fk saaaaaake, marketing teams who come up with meaningless three-word combos need to be relieved of employment.

oneweb · 21-05-2022 10:26pm

Katy Perry's new Just-Eat ad. I generally like her bop, but 5 seconds in, this ad annoyed me. And it went on and on and on. Reckon she's wrecked her IE/UK career.

Archeron · 23-05-2022 6:56pm

Just saw an all new shiny ad and I can't work out if it's advertising star wars, Volkswagen, Disney or sky.

When marketing departments collide.

Atlantic Dawn · 24-05-2022 1:36am

The constant Lotto ads making it seem whiter than snow to play, I guess they know their time is up and all gambling ads will be banned on tv in the near future.

Darren Conway is to Dubs what Rory's Stories is to culchies.

I can't stand him. The most unfunny fcuker going. "I'm noh!" or the face he pulls at the end of the Hunky Dory ad, so cringy.
