    Worst advert on TV

    Watching TV last night and was thinking how bad is that new Barry’s Tea advert (the soccer captain one), what makes you turn the volume down/TV off?

    Agreed, absolute worst ad ever. Who comes up with these ads?? It should have something to do with him scoring with the daughter that answers the door. Would be much more interesting then....("I've been s***ing your daughter for 7 years now, but I've gone off her and want someone new")!

    Those ads for Senekot really make me wonder.

    They are talking about constipation, and they say - "dont let constipation ruin the biggest day of your life".

    Whats the alternative, take senekot and have the trots???

    Also, these bounty paperwipes do my head in.

    probably needless to say but those jaysus ads for ringtones and pictures and horoscopes and any other ould sh!te really get on me wick. They're just short of showing the same ad repeatedly for three mins as well

    57777 "blimp".... fook off you annoying dicks. Harvey Norman would be an improvement....

    Harvey Norman not even the most annoying ad on radio, it's that castrol one with the scratches...

    The new Snack ads, on TV and radio do my head in. Actually all those new Cadbury Happiness ones too.
