The one thing that REALLY annoys me at the minute is the little piece of 'music' (really like a string instrument being strummed) at the end of anything to do with Avonmore.
Anyone know what I'm on about?
Is it the one for Fairy Powder or something....lots of different people saying stuff like...little cutie button nose and stuff like that....AGGHHHHHHHH.....if it is it is the worst thing ever (even worse than gotageta Garmin woman)
I think there are a couple of different Fairy ads all smug mummies singing in a childlike voice.........
Is anyone else totally annoyed by the way the AA Roadwatch girls speak when they're doing traffic reports? You know, telling us about traffic heading "ite" of "tine" or about traffic heading "site" towards a "rindabite" etc.
And their fellow travellers on radio ads who tell us that something is "pridely" supported by some company!
Does my head in!
we are very easily annoyed!
What about yet one kirstine that reads the news on newstalk with her sex line voice
Two radio ads bugging me at the moment, both motoring related.
1. The Chevrolet "oh, that's extra" ads.....makes me laugh when the guy at the end says "chevrolet....from €13000 (or whatever the price is), delivery and related charges not included .....they'd be extra then?!
Exactly Gipimann. And there was another radio ad last year with two guys talking about some product where the 2nd guy keeps asking "..but where's the catch?" and the 1st guy keeps replying "....but there is no catch!"
And then it ended with another guy saying "Terms and conditions apply!"
What about the ad on radio at the moment with the song "You make me feel like a natural woman, woman woman....?"
Can't remember the product but would other products make you feel like an unnatural woman? (Which begs the question:- What would an unnatural woman look like?)
Answers on a postcard please!
Totally agree with you. She freaks me out, honestly sounds like she's 'in the middle of something' and reading the news at the same time
Excellent thread - many annoying ads described here.
How about the ones for 'Growing up milk' where its implied that feeding your toddler this souped-up (expensive) gack is going to have the cold virus literally bouncing off their cute little force-field defence... utter tosh.
On the subject of toddlers, also hate the ads for 'antibac' sprays where its suggested that the youngster's high-seat tray has more bacteria on it than a loo seat (can someone please explain this?) and that its necessary to disinfect your car seats, curtains, door handles, ceilings or else your children will become horribly ill... fact is they're more likely to become horribly ill if you do all this cos they're immune system never got challenged.
Last but not least - all those ads where your clothes smell like flowers, silk (whatever that's supposed to smell of), or that washing-powdery smell they market to us as 'clean-smelling'... how about over-chemicalised instead.
Spent a while in an office where a colleague washed his clothes in (too much of) this stuff... he reeked of artificial flowers and it was completely weird when it clashed with his aftershave - it lingered even after he would go home.
I have a new one that I find worse than the Avonmore ad - never thought it would happen.
Its the new radio ad for 11850.
Now first of all I seen the UK advert complete with Ray Parker Jr singing the Ghostbusters theme, with the words changed slightly.
In the Irish radio advert though , it just sounds so tacky. Its so obvious that the ad was sent over and a couple of bad singers went into the studio and dubbed their 11850 line over the top of it, and badly at that.
