Annoying Barrys Tea advert

syklops · 15-05-2008 5:33pm #1

This ad is really really grinding my gears. Its the one where she has known 'Matt' for years and he asks her out. The thing that annoys me is she fluffs her words in the last second of the ad and I dont know what she says. And everytime I see it I listen to it, and it just annoys me further.

She says: "And I say to him, is this a date? And then he says 'I dunno, is ????"

Does she say "it is"? or "is this"? or "is it"? All I can hear is "isis"

Can someone put me out of my misery, or better still take it off the air?

AlmightyCushion · 15-05-2008 5:35pm

I'm pretty sure it's "is it".

It is is it, isn't it?

syklops · 15-05-2008 5:39pm

But her voice does not go high like it should when she is asking a question?

kowloon · 15-05-2008 5:40pm

I believe this is the female equivalent of: "Drink pawtucket ale and hot women will have sex in your back yard".

Overheal · 15-05-2008 5:40pm

i dunno... does this matter at all? I mean come on its an ad.

littlefriend · 15-05-2008 5:46pm

hahaha I know exactly what you mean OP. The reason for it is the idiot girl puts a TH on the end of it. She also does it when she says "remember Matthhhh" - drives me insane.

"I don't know, is iTHHHHHH??"

he looks like a total gimp too!

magick · 15-05-2008 5:49pm

What she doesnt know is that 'Matt' is a psycho rapist who by the end of the night leads her home , and forces his God Stick into her aft shamecave and thrusts accordingly. After he plants his seed in her, he beats her to death with a Kettle full of Fresh Barrys tea.

Walking out of her home with blood on his mouth and a crazy look on his face he mutters his murderous catchphrase "every day should have its golden moments".

Overheal · 15-05-2008 5:49pm

Its MATH. Not Maths.

ffs ppl.

Zzippy · 15-05-2008 9:47pm

I don't care what she says, she's hawt!

Dudess · 15-05-2008 9:49pm

She's saying "is it?" but putting on a lame accent. It's one of the most horrendous ads ever and hurts both my eyes and ears.

By the way, Lyons is WAY nicer than Barrys.

Aren't you supposed to be from Cork? How come you're missing the Barry's gene that every Corkonian is endowed with?:) Barrys is better than Lyons...flops arm in air and gets ready for duel.

That ad is doing what it was intended to do-get people thinking of de Barrys. Like those Meteor girls...you know, the ones that everybody loved last year.

I'm going for a cup right now.

I'm sure you'll get the picture. It's so unbelievably, woefully lame.

Loopy · 15-05-2008 10:39pm

It's cringeworthy that ad. There's nothing in it that would make a person want to buy bloody barrys tea bags..

But....people are talking about it and thats all that matters, we may buy barrys tea when we are next in the supermarket now, cos we have thought about it.. That's advertising (bad or otherwise!!)..

Heh, "cá bhfios?"="who knows?", which means he probably means "is it?" in an ambiguous, mysterious, romantic sense.

Gaeilge and its dispute resolving powers.

Yep, that's one of the many irksome aspects of that ad - the way it tries to be the above. Oh how interesting that the ending isn't quite tied up... And did you ever see any guy as girlie and bland as "Matt"?! Reminds me of a teen mag Lisa was reading in The Simpsons entitled "Non Threatening Boys"...

leninbenjamin · 17-05-2008 3:43pm

turn off TV = happy ending.

and she's not hot. but she's made look worse than she is coz of a really dodgy haircut.

JC 2K3 · 17-05-2008 3:45pm

Heh, you should forward your complaints to Barry's Tea in writing, Dudess.

Next thing you know they'll be promoting "Barry's XTREME Tea" - for those with reckless lifestyles and unimaginably filthy sexual perversions.

Dudess · 17-05-2008 3:48pm

Or I could just call in - they're only down the dual carriageway from where I work. I wonder do they drink coffee on their breaks? Or do any of them drink Lyons tea?

JC 2K3 · 17-05-2008 3:55pm

My God, the scandal that would ensue if such facts emerged.....

javaboy · 17-05-2008 5:41pm

I just wish they'd stop trying to make running storylines with their ads for tea. I do not want to feel like I've grown up with the people in the ads or to see what my favourite adcharacters on Ad City or Advertisement Street are up to this week. I want to see gorillas playing drum solos and elephants hitting an annoying person in the face.

Still, the tea ads are way better than the Kenco ads.

Banana Republic guy: "Hello, you must be from Kenco"
Wimmin: "Sexist bastard"

Hudson 4 ever · 17-05-2008 7:34pm

No you're right she is saying Isis, she is refering to the Oxford University second eight who compete against Goldie, the Cambridge second eight, in a yearly competition on the same day as the Oxford Cambridge blue race. It is made up of those who missed out on the selection for the first crew, and this year they beat Goldie by three lenghts.

Clue - it's short for Mathematics it's plural.

Still can't understand how people in the US can't tell the difference between ONE and MANY :pac:

she looks like a vulcan off of star trek. no thanks

Wertz · 14-12-2008 6:14pm

I don't know what she says nor do I care, but someone needs to slap her. Hard.

Will the footballer and the managers daughter ever get together on the other ad? They have been on TV for years and I want closure.

Oh noes! Did I post in an old thread?? I forgot the unwritten AH rule that you can't post in a thread that's more than 3 days old . I've reported my post and sent myself to prison for my sins...
I was searching to see had anyone else posted on the ad in question (they usually end up in the adverts thread in TV forum), but I was heartened to find that it had a whole thread dedicated to itself in AH so I felt it was only right to stay on topic which was did anyone know what she said. I didn't and then added my own take on the ad.

I matters unbelievably! This ad drives me crazy...I'm glad someone brought this up. Every time it comes on it boils my blood, and the worst thing is once I see it, I can't stop quoting it.

She does say "is it?" but does so in a ridiculously annoying accent, she sounds like a fifty-year-old Foxrock Soccer Mom who sits at home drinking G&Ts all day.

"Eye jenow, isitsh?"

GRRRRAAAAGH!

[RANT OVER]

Jesus Juice · 29-01-2009 11:19pm

Her F,ucked up fringe really grates my cheese.:mad:

aoibhebree · 29-01-2009 11:27pm

Yeah but, how does she think she scored like? She asks "is this a date?", the poor terrified guy doesn't know how to say no, so he says "I don't know - is it?", he is obviously SO not into her and she's acting like he's asked her to marry him.
Plus, THE FRINGE!!!
Most irritating ad ever.

I saw her at electric picnic this year and she still had that annoying fringe. I feel sorry for her,she must get some level of abuse for that ad.
