"It's just cheese". Yeah right, artificial, rubbery cheese. Crap ad.

That milk chick is hot.

She's scary. I saw her on a poster at a bus stop the other day and couldn't figure out what it was for, not till the 2nd time I saw it. There's nothing as natural as milk, and pink hair apparently.

Any ad that mentions "hidden gem" annoys me. Why does something have to be a hidden gem, from hotels to gardening stores. If they're hidden, why advertise their location in the national media?

I hate the ads for Bulmers light, the one with some woman with a california style accent telling us about the number of calories, and how it is light by nature. I hate her accent, and I hate the drink.

The one with the little asian kid panicing because he laid some cable, and has no air freshener, and the mother comes in and replaces it. May he grow up to a life of misery and pain.

The one for Oatabix. The one with the really long name for the breakfast cereal on the side of the truck. And then that Freudian scholar, woman on deck chair chimes in with "They should have called it Oatabix". Who asked you?

The new ad by Vodafone. Roaming. Annoying gimp in a rasta hat.

Davina McCall and her hair dye. And her imaginary mum. Total muppet.

That O2 ad with that stupid fûcker and his "We are O2", like O2 are some close knit community of young hipsters. No your a greedy multinational.

Kenco coffee ads. Posh but stupid English toff goes to work in coffee plantation. Cannot believe that the same beans go into instant as roast. Friendly black man corrects him. Horrible stuff.

chin_grin · 24-07-2008 05:21PM

Just reminded me! Any ad with lazy CG graphics. Like (as mentioned before) those air freshener ads. Or the "how to consolidate all my debts" ads.

Or that gimp gesticulating to himself while listening to lyric FM, and thinking he's in the middle of the country. Y'know the one. Some guard comes along and taps on his window.

Made even worse because they use a great Fourtet remix of 'Melody Day' in the background.

I know the ****er that picked the music for this ad - damn you Karl - DAMN YOU TO HELL!

That bloody for Cadbury's (with "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen) really does my head in. What the hell has a bunch of trucks racing around got to do with a bar of chocolate?? I absolutely HATE it!!!!!!!!!!!! *takes deep breath*

Its called product association and awareness.

Doesn't make me want to eat chocolate though, but I do get that each truck is a colour or flavour of the choccy. But no, I don't feel the urge to go out and buy a bar after watching.

The only ad that's made me want to eat/drink something are those sexy and seductive Marks and Sparks food ads (oooh, get in there! Kinky!). And coke ads. I've genuinely wanted to buy a bottle of that rancid crap as a result. Oh, I'm so easily led by media, <snif>

brianthebard · 24-07-2008 07:43PM

I hate all ads as a rule,but especially ads that sing at you!The subway reggae one is so fecking annoying.Grr.

That AD would almost put me off a Budweiser, almost.

Any public service ad. Like we're all too stupid to know what we should and shouldn't do without some stern voice talking to us all the time.

Like DCC's don't waste water ads around Dublin. How about you learn not to waste public footpaths by sticking up shit looking adverts all over the place?

Or that fat bastad and that ugly bint who are walking around throwing rubbish on the ground and getting dirtier? How's about you don't patronise people? Like that's gonna stop anyone littering. Why not hire some more litter wardens to enforce an anti littering campaign?

Or the referendum ads telling us to get "the whole story?" Why what business is it of yours what I do? Anyone who feels the need can inform themselves accordingly without being reminded.

Basically any ad that seems to be more for informing us of the existence of some pointless committee or Government department than any kind of actual usable information.

Can't believe no one has said the McDonalds Eurosaver Johnny Logan arse ad.

I would love to kick the **** out of him!! It's just so.......AHHHHHH!!!!!

I really like that ad, so cheesey, so brilliant!

However the ad Johnston, Mooney and O'Brien bread on the radio. "Live life, love our bread" What sort of tagline is that?!

dr.bollocko · 24-07-2008 10:15PM

This one tormented me when I was in Australia.
Click on "Play ad."
Die a little inside.

Speaking of 11850, their posters in the airport completely rip off the 118 118 Uk directory enquiries ads, with two guys running with fake moustaches.

It's one of the most blatent rip offs I've ever seen.

It doesn't even make sense either, the point of 118 118's ads were that they each looked the same and had "118" written on their jerseys. This one has "118" on one of their jerseys and "50" on the other.

It's so stupid, and I'd imagine 11811 benefited more from the UK ones, seeing as that's what you'd get when you dial 118 118.

Same company. Its not a rip off.

Cadbury's add with the gorilla playing the drums to phil collins. wtf?

Just realized while reading this thread that i haven't actually watched proper T.V. in the last 4-5 months.

I miss the Lemsip max strength with the two guys in the office talking about the big merger.

IAN!!

Or Permanent TSB and their pinstripe-suit-wearing "gangster". WTF is that all about? Are they trying to subliminally tell us that bankers are gangsters? Dear deity, what else is new?

Thou shalt not disrespect Frank Vincent! The man is a legend.

Anyone notice in that McDonalds ad with the dad and the daughter in mackers during various years of their life, she grows older in each cut and ends around 22, yet the dad starts the ad aged around 33 and ends it....looking the exact same?

The Donegal Catch ones annoy me no end.

"My uncle was a man of the cloth!"

Hope that gobsh1te in particular drowns out there.....

Those bread ads with D`Unbelieveably sh1te comedian Jon Kenny or whoever. wtf are they about?

the 'do you think you look like a posh student' one. that drives me mad!

Acacia · 25-07-2008 12:21AM

That Danone Actimel ad with the superheroes flying around inside some kid, supporting his natural defenses. ''Actimisation!" What a pile of cráp. You know the one I'm talking about. They play a really long version in the cinema. :mad:

Actually any ad with kids gets on my títs. Especially the Rice Krispies one, where four little gimps count how many snap, crackles and pops they can hear in their cereal. Muppets. They'd feel the back of my hand if they were my kids, I tell thee. :pac:

Zonda999 · 25-07-2008 12:23AM

As bad as some of the ads on rte are, i'd much prefer to be watchin ads on rte than on any of the sky channels, uktv etc...More or less ALL ads are about mortgage consolidation, cheaper car insurance or personal injury claims.Anyone alse notice that??Bloody drives me mad!!

bronte · 25-07-2008 12:43AM

Definitely that Vie ad with the people singing the jingle out of tune. Gah!
If you are going to have people singing in your ad for the love of jebidiah springfield do it properly!! :mad:

my friend, we park our cars in the same garage. i would legalise rape, torture and murder to deal with the people in those ads

30txsbzmcu2k9w · 25-07-2008 01:58AM

That ad for a furniture sale(cant remember the company) on TV with the Nickelback Rockstar song and a bunch of freaks and an old woman miming wearing sunglasses in front of couches.

What a cringe-worthy bag of shlt.:mad:

Well pal, with you not around the merger was going to go down the pan, wasn't it? This sorts the men from the boys.

Two of the greatest cock monkeys to ever grace an ad.
