    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.

    Good point to bring up. What was the worst/most hated ad this year?

    Chicago Town pizza advert was ridiculous, like a parody, chance to get pizza shaped glasses you say?

    Taking the baton from them is the Apache pizza advert for its app. Sh*te.

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

    Supervalu, Lidl & Tesco deserve a slap for the sentimental rubbish they have produced, "let's make viewers feel as ****ty as possible about dead family members and have them buy a selection box to fill the void". **** right off.

    Those voyage prive ads sound pretty sleazy, mainly because of the music, some kind of adult boat ride, it's like 80's porn, not that I watch that crap, but I just always felt 80's synths sounded a bit sleazy.

    I can't stand the ads for Park, purely because of that nonsensical backing track of some moron just saying, "This is Santa Claus!" :mad:

    How long has that ad been on now? It refuses to die. Even the seemingly immortal Muller Rice bear went before she did.

    That Vodafone TV with the old lady getting hot and bothered watching a love scene on TV creeps me down to my very core. Something about her expression and the heavy breathing makes me shudder.

    Most hated ads. good lord where do i begin.

    Tescos letter writing, actually didn't shop there because the ads were puke inducing.

    Supervalu and Lidl mainly because of the music in the ads, slow acoustic horrible versions they were.

    Mentioned already, "My name is Hannah WAHHHH"

    German car ads are always terrible but that Klopp fella over laughing at bad jokes, a very german thing.

    Meteor merry hintmas mostly beacuse of typical sourpuss Irish mother in it.

    Last but not least Headintheballheadintheball, we are Oirish, why they didn't just use Wolfe Tones or something englsih hating to drive home the Oirish sentiment

    SSE ad is back. Cut the soppy music, you lot are a utility company out to make maximum profit from consumers, not a bunch of do gooders.

    Current ad for Bank Of Ireland, which I'm assuming is their College Green branch. Trying to put across a caring, sharing, "olde worlde" style of banking which we all know is a load of bollocks these days. In the real world, anybody who even tries to join a queue to see a bank teller is immediately diverted to a machine, and resistance is obviously futile.

    Not in my experience, wallet went missing and had to cancel my bank card. So in order to get my money out until my replacement card turned up, I had to use the teller.

    Well, unless they've introduced voice or fingerprint recognition machines in their branches, they didn't have much option but to serve you.

    The fairy liquid ad where the child wants to build a space ship. I'll build you a space ship and put you in it and send you off

    The horse in the AIG ad has more talent than the humans.

    Lazy rehash of their ad from years ago when the bottle was white and did somewhat resemble a rocket. Now the ad is just stupid.

    Have you seen the lenor ad with the stepford wife talking about 'freshness going to die in your closet'. First few times I thought it was a spoof.

    The strutters and the builders. Has humanity really come to this?

    worst car name I have heard, when I saw the ad I was wondering if they only came up with that stupid name so they could have the queen song in the ad.

    Whats next, the Toyota Rag?

    The original Duster came out in the mid 80s, so it's just a revival of that.

    Much as I agree it's a bit of a silly name, I reckon it's much more memorable than something like D-100
