Bad ads on the telly

:lol:

Classic

Has anyone seen the new Harvey Norman ad? ā€œIā€™m Harvey Normanā€?

I didnā€™t realise TomĆ”s Oā€™Leary works there now selling computers.

All those Donegal Catch ads.

That Thomas Gear ad that was just on

Christ yes. Absolutely insanely dreadful. I reckon the ā€œactorsā€ came up with the material. Makes me want to get into advertising, itā€™s obviously easy money if these retards can make a living at it.

This is possibly the worst ad in the world ever. It actually offends my ears to the point where the TV has to be muted. :guns: :guns:

McDonalds are persisting with these bafflingly awful futuristic ads. This time adding what was missing all along, Eamonn Dunphy. :angry:

That McDonalds ad is a disgrace. Theyā€™ve just labelled Eamon Dunphy as a HIV victim.

Childish giggle of the day sortedā€¦

That No Nonsense one that CLD posted above has to be one of the most irritating ads of all time.

i have no idea what this is aboutā€¦

I saw it for the first time on Saturday afternoon and genuinely couldnā€™t believe what I was watching. That an advertising company got paid a lot of money to make it is mind-boggling.

As regards the 48 Months one, thatā€™s the first time in my adult life that Iā€™ve ever seen an ad and not had a fucking notion what itā€™s for. Must be a sign of old age.

:lol:

Youā€™re both out of their target market (Iā€™m guessing) lads so youā€™re unlikely to get what the ad is about - http://www.48months.ie/

That No Nonsense one is on the radio as well. I hope people refuse to buy insurance from them out of spite.

I genuinely know people who think that No Nonesense ad is ā€œhilariousā€.
I regret not decking them all on the spot.

In fact, check out the comments for it on youtube.

Thatā€™s partially the point. You should watch The Century of the Self

),

itā€™s one of the best documentaries ever made. Itā€™s basically about how Freudian psychoanalysis came to inform practically everything in modern society, from politics to advertising. That ad has nothing to do with the product because the product is pretty mundane and most people donā€™t need it. The advert is about stimulating basic inner desires and then creating a fairly tenuous connection between those desires and the product. Think about all the ads that you see that apparently have no connection to the actual product at all.

Products canā€™t be advertised on the basis of need because thereā€™s a good chance you wonā€™t actually need the product. Products have to be advertised on the basis of desires you have and how the product in some way fulfills those desires. Freudā€™s nephew, Edward Bernays was essentially the man who invented this.

I ainā€™t in the target market for tampons either, Macintosh, but I do still know what the fuck Always Ultra are trying to hawk when the ad comes on.

Them Ladbrokes ads with the auld lad roaring around the place are starting to grate me

I donā€™t intend looking through the whole thread but has that cuntish rugby one with the three lads knocking on the suburban doors got a mention yet?

Hateful.
