    Entirely understandable. There's enough negativity in the world. A long time ago, I was barely seventeen when I sat in a large lecture theatre on my very first day in college, for our freshers address by the Head of Engineering, his name was Bart O'Conner. His first sentence was, "Half of you here will not make it to graduation". Statistically true, but stunningly silencing for the maybe 120 or so kids there. Into that silence I stood up, theatrically shouldered my satchel, and said loudly, "I might as well go home now, so". The place erupted, merriment was restored, yer man was flustered and not very pleased. I had to deal with that type on and off my whole life. Balloon bursters. Next time you see that ad, shout back, tell him you'll outlive him, for spite!

    I made it through with the 50% btw.

    Seat I think. Load of skateboarders and a horrible version of 'Forever Young' 🤮

    Do ads aimed at youth not alienate potential older customers? Seats are decent cars, a kind of stylish Mediterranean VW, less teutonic. Why shouldn't a senior, who struggles to walk, nevemind skateboard, not be a candidate for this brand?

    Are those endlessly awful Outsurance ads ever going to end? They seem to be on almost every ad break.

    Annoying Specsavers ad where people are talking about their optician but we think they are talking about their lover. Oh how hilarious...NOT!

    'I think he's going to pop the question' that means one thing and one thing only: he is going to propose. How on earth would you use that phrase about your optician.

    Bonus annoyance points for the shouty camogie coach 'Cam an girls, let's GOOOO!'

    The Avonmore Ad got a revamp.

    Mommy in a power suit, ✔️

    Scruffy Dad with hippy hair beard and glasses ✔️

    Fkn stupid Cupra car ad with the levitating people. " Everyone is connected to their soul mate with an invisible red thread". Wtf? Psychobabble nonsense tosh. Anyway, if the thread is invisible, it can't be red, or any colour.

    Stupid ad where the woman comes back from the future to convince herself to buy some product or service (ad is so annoying I can't even remember what it is for) that will basically turn her into Amanda from Motherland.

    I probably shouldn't post this here because I actually really like the bowling ad for Deep River Rock(even though now they've shortened it and cut out his granddad).

    But what I hate is that fella who says "good llllluck", he seems like a right creep

    Almost as frequently as any of the ads with Roy Keane in it.

    I think they took inspiration from Big Ern McCracken for the creepy opponent.

    Love the creep, he's like something out of a Roddy Doyle book. The stepladder stunt is well done too, unlike another current ad where a fat African guy going too fast on a cross trainer tries to make it look like he was ejected from the machine, when it's bleeding obvious he just jumps off it himself. Really poor stunt coordination, so obviously fake. I can't remember the ad product, but it finishes with a guy AI kicking a plastic bottle into a wheely bin, said bottle defies the laws of physics and closes the lid on the way into the bin.

    The Done Deal advert is simply painful.

    It's on TV and radio and comes across as if two very drunk mid aged women came up with the idea in a pub at 2am.

    It might have been funny with a lot of alcohol on them, but it is excruciating bad at all other times

    Redclick ad.

    Brendan: "I wonder what kind of car she's going to buy"

    Supervisor "focus Brendan!!!"

    What the hell, like, the type of car someone is going to buy is a pretty f**king substantial part of the insurance quote and would be probably the first thing most insurance companies would want to know!!!
