    I've been shopping in Supervalu lately and i cant help but think of rolleyes smiley whenever i hear their motto mentioned over the PA system at the end of each bargain they announce;
    "Supervalu - Real food, Real people."

    As opposed to what? "Artificial food, Machines."
    I think its dumb.


    I like the Audi one; "Vorsprung durch tecknik".
    I've no idea what it means but it sounds cool.

    I haven't heard that SV one but if I were you I would have thrown cans of beans at everyone!!

    That would have sorted that.

    As for the Audi one, I am not sure you are saying it right but I have heard that 'kind' of phrase used in countless amounts of German things.

    Firs Was PVD Vorsprung 92-98 remixes :D

    It means "Advancement through technology". :)

    Best motto I heard was for Galway Hooker brewing company (it's a beer).

    "Goes Down Easy!"

    Used to be on their website but just had a look there and didn't see it, maybe they had to change it...

    There was the spoof ad a few years ago with a pig with a spring in each trotter. The footnote was "Four sprung pork technik"

    Yeah not a fan of the Subway one "eat fresh"...it's like a food safety notice!
    I kinda like Vavavoom...from the clio ad...damn that beautiful man using mindcontrol to sell cars! :P

    My school jacket used have something like ''It's cool to be warm and dry." on the tag. :pac:

    I've always thought Centra's one was cheesy, with that cringy voice-over. ''For the waay we live todaaay..." Feck off.

    Brennan's ''Today's bread today." Now that's just un-imaginative.

    Kleenex Tissues- ''Let it out''. Pointless advert, too.

    and I bet somebody got paid top dollar to come up with them too.

    Dublin Bus:

    http://www.dublinbus.ie/home/

    Serving the entire community

    ???

    Why are they telling us that they are serving the ENTIRE community??? Is that just in case you are from Dublin 18 or Ballyfermot, or if you are from an ethnic minority group, you might think they won't let you on the bus!?!?!

    I've never eaten anything from McDonalds, and I'm especially glad since they started using that jingle. I'm hating it.

    Dublin Bus.... reminds me of their old one.

    "Changing With The City"
    Except they never said WHICH city... I always thought they might just do a good job if it was Calcutta...

    Given my mental maturity is that of a just-arrived-on-the-scene-of-adolescence teenage boy, I always have a chuckle at that ad. I could do a post-watershed version of that ad! (if you blur out my face and change my voice-everything else is cool:D)

    Brennans, todays bread today.............refreshing honestly through stating the obvious. I have yet to hear a baker claiming they to sell tomorrows bread today.....or yesterdays for that matter.

    I just bought bread from spar, and I am pretty sure it is yesterdays bread.

    Tayto -"There's always one". One what? One gobshíte who comes up with a **** ad.

    Also Spar - "Under the tree at spar". I don't know about anyone else but I haven't seen a single spar shop built under a tree.

    Tayto -"There's always one". One what? One gobshíte who comes up with a **** ad.

    Poll showed 4 out of 5 preferred Tayto, hence the 'theres always one'


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,584 ✭✭✭shane86


    Worst for me is 2FM, Livin the Life, Lovin the Music.

    What?!!? Lovin the music my hole. Only good show is Electric Disco on Saturday evenings (loads of 90s dance tunes, makes me gettin ready because I stay too long downin cans listenin to the oldies :pac: ). The rest is nearly all middle of the road Killers/Coldplay type ****e.


    Not exactly a motto but there was an ad not long back about Pat the Bakers numerous awards from the "Master Bakers of Ireland".

    Master what?:eek:

    Again, not exact, but I always initially think LVF in those "sponsored by the LVA" radio ads (Dara O`Brian encouraging us all to go drinking, those ones)

    UPS had "What can brown do for you?" Sounds like someone had too much fiber or something. :/

    That was around the same time that walkers had 7 in 10 love walkers or some other shíte. I just have to figure out which of them was lieing to me.

    Taken from another source:

    Locum wishes everyone in Sweden a happy christmas holiday season.

    Locum have received several hundred phonecalls today but lets us know that most people who spotted the "i love cum" message simply found it funny. One caller claimed to be chocked and very offended.

    Locum's CEO Ingemar Ziegler defends the copy with "naturally this was not intended and if you do have a dirty imagination you may read this a little wrong - but it is harmless."

    The body copy in the ad goes on about Locum saving trees by printing only one ad as a holiday wellwisher rather than sending out lots of cards. So far , nobody has read it. ;-)
