    Another Grant boiler ad. To call it cheesy is an insult to cheese. I can only presume it's a skit.

    Daytime TV is crammed with payday loans and ambulance chaser claims firms. The SunLife ad with Parky and the small text, you wont get back what you pay in etc. Now with Tracey Braben (Labour MP), she must hope this disappears soon.

    The VHI lets talk about fertility ad.

    Such cringeworthy insincere bull****.

    The McDonalds ad with the toy doll who ends up going home with another toy was annoying me, the advert is actually OK, just could not figure out who the doll reminded me of.

    copped on its the woman from "my family" Zoe Wanamaker

    :eek:

    Thank you Valentina for putting letters to the incoherent sounds coming from the child.

    But yeah, I dont know why that ad annoys me but it does.

    And does anyone actually have a full Irish on christmas day? We never did, because there is going to be plenty to eat come lunch time. As kids we were too excited to eat and as teenager/adults slightly hungover and getting on with the last of the wrapping and what not.

    I dunno, it just seems disingenuous or something. Also, incoherent child.

    P.S. It just came on there. The twinkle of the eye in the mother when she goes "Im tired after santy coming, aren't you hubby? <wink> <wink>. Back to bed for a wee while maybe?"

    P.P.S Usually Im tired after making a full irish breakfast as well.

    That Fiat Tipo ad with the old Dean Martin song That's Amore. Ads mostly fine but the last line "say hello to Tipo that's amore" makes no effort to rhyme and just grates.

    Rhyme is more reserved for poetry, not lyrics of songs :)

    Back on topic; I see that Maltesers ad has resurfaced. The one with the blonde giving the bf the push because she saw him kissing a.n.other outside the office. What's with the bloody stupid high pitched voice? Dogs must go mental when it comes on.

    Can't blame yer man for looking elsewhere, that annoying bint would drive most fellas away. Hate the way her voice goes all high pitched when she says "goodbye" or whatever it is she says at the end.

    All if think of is if they'd used a Lidl generator they'd still be trying to start it.

    Fast food burger joint ads that have the actors only acting eating their fast food burger and not actually eating their burgers.
    We can see you are only acting - making eaty shapes doesn't fool us but only makes a fool of you!
    And your burgers are terrible and you should feel terrible.

    That reminds me, there was an ad, I think it was Burger King, where you see a man hold the burger with his two hands at the middle, lift it up and by some magic everything stays in place, you try that in real life you'll find most of the burger topping slopping back onto the table or onto your lap.

    I don't know what this ad is for, I turn off the sound when it comes on. Something about the office party, there's always one, oh it was you. She crouches down and is at eye level with a child in an elf outfit. That's all I know. I will attempt to watch it properly sometime so that I will know why it annoys me, but it does.

    Trocaire advert annoys me, great cause I'm sure but the young actress reading the lines has a horrible accent (to my ears) and is mumbling half the time.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    How can operations be done for next to nothing abroad, and cost a bomb here? I'm thinking of the "your €4" type ads.

    I find the Tesco Christmas adverts so depressing...

    The ad where everyone writes a letter to the host to thank him/her for a great Christmas. I reckon if you've suffered a bereavement it must be awful painful to watch.

    Whoppers come wrapped nowadays in a way to stop stuff falling out.

    I recently saw a book on food photography, full of all the tricks they use, undercooking food on purpose, fake chargrills etc. There are lots of real vs advertised pics on google images.

    It is subway, had to look it up too. There is something "off" about it, she does not look like a natural redhead or something, and appears to be especially have make up to look like she is, while still trying to appear she has no makeup on. And I only see now there is another redhead woman in it.

    At least they can be ignored this year, previous years were so bad they bordered on psychological warfare, remember that smug cnut carol singing a few years back.

    I dont think I could hate anything more that the Vodafone pig ads we got blasted with this year though, her stupid face and the way they played them in every ad break for months.

    Johnny fecking Depp, with his 1980's teenage girl eye make-up on his little miserable-looking face,
    burying a necklace, or whatever it is, in the desert. It's a pity he wouldn't bury himself too while he's at it.

    What's the idea - smell like Johnny Depp?
    After his long drive in the stifling desert heat I'd imagine it's basically BO.
