    Most annoying advert...

    Not sure if you get the advert back home, but theres an ad for J20 which is currently frying my head. This random guy in a bar says to himself, you know I really like it here. The barman (convinced he's the Chinese dad in the Chinatown edition of Fr. Ted) says you know we like you having you round here. Then a couple says, your a really sound bloke. And a couple says we dont you know all that well, but we really like you too. Heres a drink on us. Is it me or do I find that ad really creepy?

    Their ads sound even worse in Slovenia.

    What comes to my mind at the moment is the Tayto "there's always one".

    The one that freaks me out is for that toenail infection thing where the little
    gremlin lifts off the nail and climbs in. Jebus the thought of it sends shivers
    down my spine.

    "Tayto - Theres always one" is annoying as hell, apart from the bit at the end
    "All together now ... Yeaaaaaah"

    Those Ronseal quick drying varnish adverts used to annoy the fook outta me.
    Although Apres Match done a class skit, they had a tin with "Contains" written
    on it and Frank Stapo saying "does exactly what it says on the tin"

    Harvey Norman advert's are annoying

    In Athlone cinema theres terrible advert for Midland Radio 3 before all the films!

    Yeah - what is that ad all about ?

    How in the name of feck is it meant to make you want to get a '3' mobile phone ?

    On the subject of '3' - I hate their whole 'Deal man, Panda, Turtle' etc characters. Again - how is it going to make you want to use their product....?

    Hate the tayto add.

    Love the add with the song "in the garden of eden"in the background,it shows all places in ireland and seems really nostalgic then turns out to be an add for contraception.They played that and the cherry ad all weekend at oxygen in between acts with 60,000 people singing along to them
    If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

    Worked on me! I quite like the ad though.

    One of the most annoying ones would be, I think it's for UTV broadband - the one where they all keep 'talking' "free free free free free free". Can't say I like Sky's new Oasis one either, but that's more pointless than annoying.

    The 'Eh... Sense!!!?' ads for MacDonalds. And indeed any ad that tries to tap into certain demographics by using 'their language', in this case the stewdent age group.

    You know the pair that do the radio ad that goes: "Eurocycle, Eurobaby on the Long Mile Road"

    And then they repeat it like five times, with their voices getting higher each time!!!!
