The Pat the Baker Adds?

slipss

Could someone explain the pat the baker adds that are running at the minute to me. The ones were you have some man dressed as an old woman and in one of them the sons nose grows because he tells lies or something. Are they supposed to be funny? Is it supposed to be based on something like a tv show or something like that? Whats it supposed to be about?

That's Pat Shortt - singularly responsible for producing the most unfunny sh*te ads to grace the television screen at the moment.

You do know Pat the Baker's dead, don't you?

Thats Jon Kenny not Pat Short...the other half of 'D'unbelievables'. !:D

(Also tbh your post of the man who died in Mayo is a tad disrespectful he only died on Monday)

Is it not the other equally unfunny "Unbelievable" John Kenny? Sorry Post crossed with dumbyearbook.

The ads are terrible especially the one with the son home from America!

I think that might be the idea though - so stupid you remember them!

The only part of the ad to make me laugh is the proclaimation that Pat the Baker has received numerous awards from "the master bakers association of Ireland".

MasterBakers *say it out loud* ?

As for the rest I havent a clue, Ive never got Pat Shortt (Ive never got Lee Evans or Tommy Tiernan either and people say they are the dogs bollix, I dunno. Cant bate a bit of Richard Pryor or Peter Kay ) I agree, the "wassup, duuude
" American ad, what the ****

LOL, I heard that the first time I heard the ad, and it gets worse and worse every time I hear it now! I thought it was just because I had a filthy mind.

But did the crowd making the ad not realise how it sounded? Or did they realise, and mischeviously leave it in there as an in-joke?

My money's on the latter

Oh dear, those ads are embarrassing. Not funny in the least. They wouldn't even be funny if they were made in the 1970's.

A question I have is who told Pat Short and John Kenny that they were funny?

They're not.

Probably their parents

Comparing him to Pat the baker from the ads, if it was someone related to you you would'nt like it.

(..whether he died in Mayo or Longford or wherever)

those ads are a pile of poo - and I dont think there was any malice in posting that Pat the Baker (actual) had died- it's just information. He wasn't for turning up at his funeral with a load of stale bread rolls

PAt Short is pat athe baker?

Whatever it was in jest and therefore inappropriate imo, if you dont agree that grand. Bearing in mind the man had just died aswell I think it was in bad taste....

Some of you may think it funny? but in reality it added nothing to the thread it was a bit too smart.....its obvious there was no malice in the reference, its just no addition.

Jon Kenny it is then. I stand corrected!

But he WAS Pat The Baker as referenced in the ads! It was national news, - I'd heard it on the radio - the only place I found it when I searched online was that Mayo paper.

There was certainly no dis-respect intended or inferred in my mentioning that he was dead. Neither was it intended as a joke or intented to be, as you say, a bit too smart... I was just stating an interesting and RELEVANT fact, considering we were discussing Pat the Baker.

Ads are pretty sh1t no arguing there.

Killinascully can be fairly excruciating at times, decent other times.

But D'Unbelievables are absolute comedy gold. Their first 2 DVDs are brilliant. They do appeal to more of a country audience without doubt but I can recognise someone I know from nearly all of the their characters
