Even more adverts you despise

Been meaning to dig up this thread just to bring up that Timothée Chalamet for Chanel cologne, which could be the most annoying as in recent memory.

So many irritating aspects of this ad - in order of least annoying to most annoying:

• That wanky blue-and-black colour tone
• Martin Scorsese directed this piece of ****!
• The brief musical part of the soundtrack
• The unnatural way in which he's shown falling with his feet akimbo
• The vinyl scratching noise THROUGHOUT!

It really annoys me when the girl says "What are you doing??"

Er, it's christmas day, it's suggested in the ad that they do it every year, and the father is in swimming trunks.

What the fuq do you think they are doing??

At least they don't interrupt a film aimed at children every Saturday evening with a ten minute promotion. Unlike the "National" Lottery which is exempt from many of the gambling laws.

I only have Saorview so I really only see any gambling promotions during racing (which goes hand in hand in fairness) or after the watershed. The lottery, on the other hand, have free reign to do it whenever they like. They are even worse on the radio whereas I don't think I've heard any ads from the gambling companies unless they're mentioned as a race sponsor or something.

Sweepstakes was no longer benefitting the Hospitals, but was still a cash cow for the private operators, which is why it changed. The lottery is not part of exchequer spend or RTE budget. Less of the X/ticktock fiction.

Skunk piss.

A portal with “ a huge beard and long hair “ you say. Strange portal that 😁. Apologies posted but I am jesting. Reminds me of the gag about the lady who opened the door in her nightdress. “ Strange place to have a door “ Happy Christmas.

Same as that. I have gotten allergic to adverts. I think it was internet adverts and YouTube etc. that pushed me over the edge. I now use various adfree browsers and like yourself will mute the TV or change channels if adverts come on.

Happy Christmas

That "Shake Your Booty" advert.

It's so cringeworthy it's almost embarrassing.

All the government ads in Irish . DV, anti smoking

Anybody who wants to speak Irish also knows how to understand English

There is no need for an Irish language ad

I pay for an ad blocker for my phone and computer. Well worth it, as I also can't stand the cookie notifications, along with the ads.

The Irish Independent ad with that god awful music was wrecking my head yesterday. On Premier Sports during every ad break with the other same 3 or 4 ads.

What's more bizarre is that Hyundai are spending all that money ensuring their name is pronounced properly?!

Creepy electricity granny gets creepier every time I see it.

So little kids huge bedroom window just happens to face into the street and her living room window. Okay, possibly. Grow a hedge maybe, or close your blinds.

But is she really sitting there staring into his room all day so within five seconds of him appearing into the room, she starts flashing lights at him? Her chair is facing the window (and his room) , and not the telly or fireplace like most people. Very odd ad.

I like Power city. Got some great deals there over their lifetime, and mine. Never a quibble with warranty, i even got a retrospective free power tool on a deal that was introduced a week after I'd purchased a qualifying item, just because I moaned to the sales guy.

Iirc, they came about as an inspired idea by one of the McKenna electrical family, who had a hugely successful chain of high st stores in the 80s, and it wiped out that original business.

Now that Christmas is over I thought we'd be seeing less of that miserable Amazon Prime advert and hearing less of that Janitor's pathetic whining.

But no....I was wrong.
