    "Only a Bord Na Mona fire, creates the Bord Na Mona effect."

    Bord Na Mona effect?!? That's not a real thing. It will never be a real thing. Saying it in the ad doesn't suddenly make it a real thing that people do or say. :mad:

    It would be a particularly weird thing to say. "oh there's nothing like the turf board effect", as though there's some sentimental attachment to badly named semi state bodies from the 20s or whatever. Ah, the south eastern health board effect!

    Digital Hearing ad, cant decide if he looks like Captain Nemo or Captain Birds Eye

    And let's not forget that he says almost the exact same things as this guy (the only real difference being that he says "digital" instead of "hidden"). ;);)

    I guess the folks at PhoneWatch don't want to scrub away all traces of Eircom just yet. Either that, or they simply can't be bothered making a new ad...

    Still wouldn't say no to getting into bed with that young blonde lady, though. :o:o:D;)

    Here's a bit more about her:

    The Mot-iv-at-ion clinic ones annoy me as well. She sounds like she is speaking in very slow motion, or something.

    Opel Mokka.

    As well as being a mediocre crossover, their new ad trumps the mediocrity.

    Claudia schiffer drives into carpark where 2 blue steel posers in attendance offer to drive the car down the modest slope for her is a very "I'll do this and you suck my d" kinda way.

    But no need!

    Claudia can escape the misogyny by pressing a button which will allow her car to drive into the car park; (which we assume other cars can enter with ease).

    :D not sure if that means advertising works, or not. I just want to throw something at the tv when she starts...'I called the guards' etc. That is probably why I didn't notice it was just Phone Watch.

    Lidl quality beef ad.

    He can't seem to say either Lidl or Bord Bia and he's a bit smug.

    Do you remember the Aldi one that was on during the summer about the beef coming from 'the black cattle'?
    It vanished after a few weeks. Painted farmers as being fierce stupid human beings indeed.

    I know a relation of the "black cattle" man, and believe me, though he might sound stupid to you, he's one smart cookie! ;)

    And a nice man too, I ought to add!

    Don't think cattle are racist, calling them Aberdeen Angus or whatever breed they are would only confuse the townies.

    Well folks, I am a bit too much of a regular here for it to be healthy, and this is completely the opposite of on-topic. But I posted on the 'adverts we like' thread, which is much less enjoyable by definition because it's lacking cynicism and hatred, and nobody ever posts there because ads are not likeable. Anyway my point was that I am a massive, massive fan of the new SuperValu ad, or more particularly the woman in it. Everything about her (except her child and her horrible jacket) is great and I'll be shopping there for the foreseeable future.

    That's my shameful admission out of the way. If someone could send me her name, address, birthday, and weekly schedule that would be great.

    There is an ad on rte right now for saving money on life insurance or mortgage protection , it could be 123.ie or hello.ie or whoever cant be sure but anyway....

    It features a Father on front of a dark mirror in a black suit talking dourly about "if" one of the couple should die the mortgage will be paid off etc etc..

    He is just about to put a black tie on when his missus comes up behind him offering him a nice gold tie telling him "were not going to a funeral"..... now the old git turns around to see his smiling daughter in her wedding dress!!

    Does he have dementia?? Isn't he aware that his daughter is actually getting married like TODAY! and WTF is he doing in a black suit with a black tie anyway?
    It's suppose to be a joyous occasion you miserable old bugger!!

    Rant over but ad makes no sense!

    It's for hello.ie, the makers of easily the most annoying ad of the last decade, 'even an adult could get it', you know the one.

    Terrible ad alright. The implication seems to be that if you get some other insurance, your wife will die. But if you switch, your daughter will get married. But yeah, the effect is like he's got early onset Alzheimer's.

    If this was an ad for Crown or Fleetwood paint, I wouldn't have a problem with it.

    But it's for Dulux. And the dog only has a token presence. :(

    I just found out that the red-haired lady is Sharon Clancy. Anyone who still remembers UTV's Brain Box might remember that she hosted it for a bit. ;)

    The numpty from the Meteor Christmas advert (He turns more into an elf with ever question), and the Axa Red line :mad: Advert (Breakit... :mad::() is now doing some sort of crap flailing dancing, in an Airport for Cadburys Biscuit Bar.

    Who keeps hiring him? Or are there no other people auditioning for these shíte adverts (That would probably be a good thing)...?

    I love Fawlty Towers, using that theme tune makes me dislike the ad even more.
