I’ll get the ball rolling with everybody’s favourite Guinness ad:
Sorry for a bit of a thread hijack but that fooking Carlsberg ad that’s on at the moment is completely wrecking my head. The one set in New York where some goofy Hector lookalike is trying to chat up an American bird who warns him that her bloke’s on his way back from the bog and is going to kick seven shades of scheidt out of him. It’s truly pathetic in all facets from the concept through to the dialogue and the acting. And they had decent ones in the past too. Probably not something to warrant getting so annoyed about but I want to break things when it appears on the telly.
It’s one of the most annoying ads on telly, but not as annoying as the stupid fooking budweiser ad where the muppet runs through the entire train just to avoid the tunnel while he’s on the phone. All the Bud ads are very annoying actually, the bbq one was awful!
When it comes to classic tv ads Christmas ads are usually amazing. Here’s one of the all time classics imo

I’ve no idea why but I really like that Carlsberg ad. Can’t really tell why - it’s the type that would annoy me alright and it’s on way too often but the acting or something hooks me every time. Find myself hoping it comes on sometimes.

It was a decent laugh hanging around with you at times.
Good luck in the future.
So long,

What annoys me about the Carlsberg add is why the Irish lad doesn’t chooses one of these two options:
- Bottle the coont in the face
- Call his mates over and give the fook a hiding he’d never forget

Aer Lingus before they became a clone of Ryanair.
Damn right about the Carlsberg ad Bandage, the thing I hate about it is, for all his smartness he doesn’t get the girl in the end, he just avoids a beating and goes back to his mates telling them how clever he is. Absolute crap.
As for the Budweiser phone one, could have just sent a text and avoided all the nonsense.
One of my favourite ads is the Golden Pages one from about 10 years ago, where this slob (ordinary bloke really) leaves his flat in a mess as he goes to work unwittingly leaving the door ajar, comes back and his pretty foxy neighbour (who had peeked inside and seen the mess, thinking it had been wrecked by thieves) breaks the news to him that his flat has been broken into and turned up side down. He feigns shock and says something like “Oh my goodness” before flashing back to earlier in the day when he left the house in such a state. He then looks up the Golden Pages for a cleaner to come in once a week.
Acchhhrington Stanley? Exachhhly!
I’m not sure what Fleggaard do but they’re a Scandinavian company and this advertisement contains hot, nudey Scandinavian type women. It’s pretty class but not safe for work.
I see there were a heap of complaints about the meteor christmas ad. Kids taught that Santa wouldnt come cos the reindeers were sick! My favourite ad has to be the budweiser one. Hate that carlsberg ad and the confectionary company ad even though everyone else rants and raves about it.
Great shout, mate. 
Thought you might like that one me auld china plate.
Bit of help required here especially from Kinvarra passion, The Dunph, Shannonsider, The Link and all others from farming stock
Do any of ye remember the Fasinex ( I think) add with Joe Cooney (I think)
Bobby Ryan done one for Ivomec, but I dont believe Cooneys was Fasinex, think it was summat else entirely.
Cepravin
Was the use of ‘done’ instead of ‘did’ to prove you are from farming stock too?
