most annoying ads of all time

There was an ad running a few years ago about how some bank or other were 'backing brave'. Always made me want to throw a brick at the telly.

AIB and they're still running those ads.

You've forgotten a poo at Paul's. I have no idea what the ad was for.

Gawwwd that axa ad is brutal stuff.

“What about the birds? They’re people too”

The clever woman/dopy man set up for ads.

Man can't find his own arse and smartypants woman saves the day. Imagine the outcry if roles were reversed.

I've thought another last one ... . whoever voices the Frog character at Aquazone .. an adult pretending be a child voice. urgggg.

Yes that Aquazone radio ad is back on this summer, 2019. I have to say its the most annoying ad ever and there are a lot of annoying ads. Its not just her squeaky kids voice effort but also her faux Californian accent. Imagine the scene : its that midsummer period where the summer camps are over and its not yet time to go on holidays. You are trying to get boring practical stuff done like gardening and painting. You are returning from a trip to Woodies with the kids, who of course are bored senseless. This ad comes on. Of course the kids in the back seat hear this horrible high pitched fakeness above the monotonous radio drone and pester you to bring them to Aquazone, believing it to be some version of Disneyland on water! You cant quite believe that your kids fell for this cynical advertising ploy and every fibre of your being screams

"No, we are not some cultureless American colony that falls for this s##t!! I will not bring you!!"

But instead you mumble the inevitable "We'll see". The kids take this as a yes and get all excited.

Any ad with a a human voicing over a animal - such as a 'talking dog' as if thats going to entice me to spend money.
95% of all ads on TV are terrible .

That grot Deirdre O Kane on that appliances direct ad. Fu5king horrendous.

EmmetSpiceland · 31-07-2019 2:35pm

Yeah, that “Aquazone” frog and the “Go Loud” one are both incredibly irritating on the radio these days.

All chewing gum ads boil my piss.

The latest is Orbit ...’I don’t know if we should kiss, I mean you’re a zombie...<flicks back hair and has gum>...but I’m kind of hot...&#55358;&#56620;

Jayzus, a 20 year old thread still going - I don't think there are many of them!

Also agree on the Aquazone ad, it makes me want to rip my face off.

The first Aussie hair conditioner ad. Seemed to be on ALL the time.

branie2 · 31-07-2019 4:08pm

The Harvey Norman ad. Too loud at the end

That talking insurance dog is on the radio, too.
Kind of annoying but bareable.
There's a new ad on the radio this week for the Plaza filling stations with a talking horse.
Thing is, they used the same actor as for the dog!

Deidre O Kane is really doing my head in, too.

most annoying ads of all time
