    The ad where yer wan puts her grub in a bag and dings it and then dances in front of her kids and the husband takes a bite of it and goes "Carol, faaaantastic!!". Christ, it's cringemaking.
    Any ad with Pat Shortt in it.
    The Go Compares.
    Any Lawyers4U ads or any car insurance or other legal services ads.

    They're ****. bring back VW dropping Golfs, I say!

    That's a great shout. To be honest though I'd just have chips. They don't need any attention.

    The new Pringles ad. 'Bursting with taste'. The two lads open up a box of Pringles without paying for them, then stand there grinning smugly as the whole shop gets destroyed. Without anyone intervening. Fcuking stupid.

    That home insurance ad. Where the woman is standing around her living room.
    She says something that's hardly audible "I still don't have a dog" or something.
    Sh*te ad.

    ads i hate

    1. Go Compare - its gotten so old now
    2. Compare the Meerkat/Market - it has also gotten so old now
    3. Ocean finance - some pleb with a light bulb on his head telling to look at their tv channel that noone would want to go look at.
    4. Wonga/Payday Loans - Who on earth in their right mind would use these, the interest rates are shocking, it would be cheaper get a loan from a loan shark :eek:
    5. Injury Lawyers 4 U - a bunch of ambulance chasers driving up the cost of insurance for everyone else.
    6. Cash for stolen gold ads - encouraging junkies to break into people's homes to steal jewellery
    7. Concern/Troika Trocaire - they show these at dinner time to turn you off your dinner... all the money goes to pay for those f'ing chuggers that harass you everyday on your way to and from work.
    8. Eircom Adverts - blatant false avertising... unless you live in the exchange you cant get 24mb/s broadband... not even close to it.
    9. Insurance Direct - how is some hippy dropping a heavy rock on your foot considered lucky or some smug guy with a tacky looking tash meant to inspire you to take up an insurace policy
    10. Imagine Wimax one of the worst ISP's out there.

    Head & Shoulders - Top of Your Game advert.

    There's something about the audio that's not quite right.

    There's one on the radio that does my head in. Think it's money village or something like that. It's a poxy annoying monotone dog barking and some fella saying you'd be barking mad not to call them.

    There's a Marks and Spencer ad doing the rounds at the moment that is fiercely annoying, it's as irritating as a pulsating pustule on the sole of one's foot. An incongruously solemn Ludavico Einaudi piece plays in the background as a woman goes about her business in a supermarket. Then an absurd voice over, spoken in a sort of cheeky yet smug English accent, chimes in with what can only be described as a bizarre poem/white middle class rap about trying to be frugal while shopping.

    I don't actually know what happens at the end of the ad as my hand reflexively darts for the remote as soon as the voice over cuts in.

    It's complete bollocks, folks.



    Edit: Just saw it there, managed to watch it to the end. It's not for M&S, it's for Santander credit cards. Which is fascinating of course.

    I have to change the station whenever I hear Pat Short's 'dulcet tones' singing 1890...
    I'd never deal with that company because of the campaign being so bloody irritating.

    Coming a close second is this ad for unsecured loans I saw on Channel 5. All bland until you see the 278% APR in the fine print. Bloody loan sharks.

    Yeah that ad is just outrageous. It just screams that they are a taxi service for skangers.

    Jesus, this thread does nothing to dispel the idea that Irish people love being miserable...

    So, what're all the ads you really hate? Let's all talk about them, post links from Youtube and then talk about them a bit more. God, they're awful aren't they?!! I hate watching these... but I will, just so I can go on about them...
