Meteor Ad's. Those annoying chicks.

cork-langer

Is anyone else completely sickened by those cr@p meteor ad's?

That black haired one and the blonde haired one are the most annoying things on the tele that i actually turn the channel when the ads come on.

The latest installment (at the concert) is yet another feeble attempt by meteor to be funny. well its not. In fact is is totally the opisite. It makes me angry and sick and i think i might change companies in fact...

Giruilla

You should try reading the Sunday Independant!

I share your anger btw

digitally-yours

Thank God i havent seen that advertisement yet !! i hope i dont

I would definately like to meet the guy who is currently the "media manager" @ meteor

just wana ask him what he is smoking these days ? ....

Rhyme

If they sell phones then they're not doing anything bad.

That said, i dont watch much telly.

My sister knows the dark haired one.

By the high-definition sensors of Great MechaJesus, whose targetting systems may spot the tiniest sin with pinpoint accuracy, if they were the last women on earth I'd turn gay.

punky

Hahaha. I was waiting to see a thread about those annoying birds at some stage. I totally agree.

Two eejit yuppy princesses aren't going to make me switch to Meteor. Watching ads like like that makes me glad I'm leaving this country soon.

Maynoothman123

What is it about them?

On the face of it you could say we are being unreasonable as the ads seem inoffensive enough. But I just get so angry when I see them and it just makes me want to emigrate.

manonthemoon

What about the little dance they do in front of their crap singer friend.

Die Meteor girls,:p Die

punky

"What is it about them?"

I think it's just the whole celtic-tigery, wine-bary, stuck-uppyness about them. They're the sort of girls who hang out in places like Cafe En Seine and Reynards and end up rat-arsed at poncy lesson st. wine bars. I despise those places and the people that frequent them.

At least the Amstel lads seem Irish.

Dylan_James

I agree with everything said so far.

How come when their little singer mate goes on stage there is just her singing with no music?

THEN!! As if by magic, all their friends who they called with their stupid phones end up at the gig and they have obviously bought with them sound professional amps, mics, leads, speakers, decks, etc.... because now she has a backing track.

Now I am not a record producer or roadie for metallica even but that just doesn’t sound right too me.

Also how come the Goths that were at the gig all of a sudden start dancing?

To quote Family Guy, where Peter and Chris dress up as a horse to get outta paying for 2 tickets to the fair:

"Your ass just sneezed!, wait asses dont sneeze and horses dont talk either! No! no! no! Something about this doesn’t add up at all!"

They're are vaguely interesting, which is more than can be said for 99.99% of other ads. The 0.01% represents the renault booty ad.

I am so simple. :rolleyes:

Had to give up reading the Indo......

It actually started to give me a pain in my eye.

tbh

Meteor has been mentioned 5 times in this thread already (six times if you count my post) - advertising works. it sucks. I think there is a thread about these girls in slydice. The amount of guys who would is disturbing.

ThrownAway

It's on too much...:mad:

The funniest ad at the moment is the febreeze ad with that guy on the floor sniffing a carpet while they're playing charades

makes me chuckle everytime

Thats the worst part, that dance!!!! when she's clapping her hands. AAARRRRGGGGH! bugs me so much. I know we're not allowed advocate voilence on the boards but if i ever saw those 2 birds out in a pub i would 'express my dissatisfaction' with them.
hmmm...I think i might mail meteor...

Tricity Bendix

I think they're hot.


That said, the new ad sucks monkeys'

il gatto

That ad where they tell those guys they're going to do a lapdance for them is incedibly arousing. I know it doesn't happen, and every time I'm disapointed, but I like the idea.
As regards the Amstel ads. They're crap. Not funny, badly acted and annoying dialog. Rubbish.

Mossy Monk

**** ads

not bad enough to make me angry or sick though

The Real B-man

Big Nose & Barbie hate those ads!! funny im with meteor :rolleyes:

Yeah, well I still definitely would.

"Baby I love your smile...." :- What class of a song is she singing, the snub nosed trout.

The clapping hands move, it reminds me of something you'd see in Saved by the bell when slater would do a rap or something spine-tinglingly cringeworthy.AAAARGGH!

Giblet

I read on another Message Board that she was in a shop near or in Trinity and she was telling the person behind the till how she was famous and she's on a load of billboards and that she wanted a free chomp.

Caco

It's all sold out gigs and chomps from here on in for these girls!

But seriously, it has to be one of the most annoying ad campaigns on Irish television. I blame whoever was involved in making the ad, the marketing department, writers, director, all that sort of stuff. The girls are just the icing on the cake!

Muineach

I don't mind the ad's but then again I think the brunette is hot

I'm pretty neutral about the new meteor ads though I did love the old hamster one.

Is (or was, not sure) a student in Trinity. Fairly sound, though you wouldn't guess from the ad.

Oh my god I HATE those feckin adds, they bug the sh*t outta me. Told my gf the other day that she reminded me of one of them & she nearly hit me!

koneko

Worst ads on TV, by far.

Dilly1

I must admit they are annoying, The sort of obnoxious eejits you meet in Lillies, what a kip that place is !. But thats a whole other story ! :rolleyes:

Yeah, the old hamster add was better, I am sure they could bring back the hamsters in some way.
Maybe have them shooting the girls out of cannons !?.

ARGINITE

Few ads make me cringe like it. They should be blugened to death with a frozen dead cat.

Those advertisements do my nut in! :mad:

Apparently the bloke who is responsible for this rubbish is Meteors Marketing Director, Michael Hayes, who thinks it is all some sort of roaring success!?! What the hell is he smoking??? :rolleyes:

Anyway, read more about it here.

Michael Hayes. I frown upon that man's face, his company, his pitiful excuse for a life, his friends, his dog, his cat, his 2.4 kids and his 'bright ideas!'

Just checked out that link, maybe we should invite that girl who is given as contact to join us here for an auld yap!?!?! What exactly is it about these two beuers that is so utterly annoying!?!?!?! I agree totally that they are very annoying, but I can't exactly put my finger on why!?!?! I mean if they were wearing Celtic tops and had big hoopy ear rings we'd have something else to say about them! Someone hit on the head above, the whole "celtic-tigery, cafe-en-senny, wine-bary, D4ery", pure poetry!

Gone West

Theyre not even hot...

(woot free market research for meteor!)
(its quite obvious they need a new advertising/pr company)

scojones

Michael Hayes for president!

punky

They're not hot at all. Just done up in make-up and the latest grafton st rip-off fashion. I see much better looking girls walking around Dublin everyday. I'm sure there are hotter girls looking at this thread right now.
Um. Hi girls

Dun laoire

I'd love to have raging sexual intercourse with both of them. The ads are sh1te though.

I have hated them since the very first one aired...again, there is just something about them that is so annoying. Comparable to scraping your fingernailss along a blackboard.

Meteor are probably trying to get away from the image of being the Thrift brand of mobile phone providers and so are trying to appeal to the brigade of Brown Thomas/D4 wannabes.

Everything about them is so Irish and normal and sh!te. The way they win the goths over just because their friends rescued them...ie defeating individuality through numbers...typical Louis Walsh/RTE attitude.

joejoem

The add that really annoys me is the one with Mel from Des & mel, she says

"The things I do to Hydrate my skin" as she pours a glass of water....

Then at the end of the add she says

"Now if they could only find an easy way for me to hidrate my skin..."

EASIER THAN DRINKING WATER?????? AGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!

5starpool

Since they abandoned hamsters and even the gnome they have been utter tripe ads. It is the type of annoying crap that will guarantee that I never get a meteor phone.

The women are terrible, and the premise of most of the ads are rubbish too. The fact that in need of emergency friends for a 'concert' one of them texts her friends (she only knows meteor people obviously since she wouldn't be able to text any others for free) instead of ringing people.

The fellas are nearly as bad. If you want someone to shut up, just say 'right, good luck, I don't give a crap about barrel making' or 'I'm cooking dinner here, chat to you later'.

Tossers.

All ads should have nice coloured balls bouncing in the streets of San Francisco with a cool tune in the background.

Those ads drive me crazy. They REALLY do my nut in. The restaurant one was the worst for me, I think. If I ever see either of those two girls out in public I will not be responsible for my actions.

On the other hand, the Amstel ads are pure genius. They make me laugh out loud every single time I see them!
