    Dirty.


    From a transcript of the ad that was published due to a complaint being lodged.

    Why on earth would anyone think it was "Dorothy" anyway.

    This topic has come up before and it's "Dirty". "Dirty" makes far more sense in the context of the ad than "Dorothy" - seriously, why would people think that?

    That Carlsberg ad with the broken down truck driver - there's been many a debate as to whether your one says 'bye bye' or 'farewell' at the end of it. But in the Moro ad, it's most definitely dirty.

    Well I thought the bloke saying it was a nordy and when your man says "Thats my Ma" your man says Dorothy with a kind of I'd like to ride your ma look on his face :)

    yeah apparently, my mate insists that dorothy makes more sense! no way mate!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,686 ✭✭✭EdgarAllenPoo


    Does he not say "do it" in a weird accent. That's what it's always sounded like to me and it makes more sense I think.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk


    Someone complained?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 436 ✭✭lezizi


    i always thought he said Dorothy, my mothers name is Dorothy n friends use laugh when it came on and say 'oh dorothy'.

    Like I said, from a transcript of the ad issued by the makers, he says 'Dirty'.

    Do people not read previous posts in a thread anymore?

    So he is saying "do it".... to himself?? No sense. Definitely "dirty".

    Jesus Christ, what is it with this advert?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,572 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Don't know, but I feel like a peanut moro for some reason.

    Damn you, marketeers.

    Yeah it's like a bad horror movie series. It just won't die.

    Incidently he says dorothy because he has an insane lust for Judy Garland in the Wizard of Oz.

    She says farewell but with a bit of an accent so it's fare-vell... (I think)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 987 ✭✭✭ekevosu


    carlsberg ad woman says fare-d-well in a danish accent. I always thought it was dorothy, never even occurred that it was dirty. It seems like your man says "thats my ma" and the other guy says "dorothy" as if he is seeing her as a woman and not as his mother.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,641 ✭✭✭✭Elmo


    We had this before and I had a link to the script for the add. The word is DIRTY.
