    AFAIK, it's the guy (from Monaghan, I think) who does the skit show on the radio that isn't Gift Grub. Or something.

    Knob Nation?
    Never was there a more appropriate title for a comedy sketch, the guy comes across as a bell-end when he tries to be funny.

    Went into a Spar near me @ 8.10am , they had the €1 sandwich offer alright... They had one single sandwich priced @ €1 (a poxy looking grated cheese sandwich) along side a load of full priced sandwiches.

    What an offer... :rolleyes:

    Id take Bertie back in a heartbeat, crooked or not he was a smart lad, he was respected by other world leaders for the things he did and they seemed to like his character. Id rather see him represent us on the world stage than some of the other fools in government.
    All this bashing of fianna fail gets old, im no fan of them but I don't ever want to see that tosser Kenny running the country, their not an option till they get a new party leader
    Serious politics in AH/Sparrrrrrrr thread = fail.

    Jaysus lads a lot of bitterness here. The Bertie ad's on the telly now and it looks pretty cool. Louis Walsh is there too, won't be long before Nicky and the other Aherns show up. I've a four year old and he laughs his head off wehn the ad comes on. Spar should have Bertie and Louis dolls for xmas....

    Do you have something to do with those ads or with Nob Nation? Seems to be mostly what you post on.

    So the man who caused the recession is being impersonated in order to use the recession as a selling point.
    What next,medical centres using Harold Shipman impersonators?

    It's you again you twat. I recognise that post from Youtube (WHERE INCIDENTALLY, NOBODY IS ALLOWED TO POST A HONEST COMMENT ON THESE ADS) except last time you had 2 kids and now you've a 4 year old who "lao everytime the ad comes on the telly". You're a liar and a ****. You are involved in the creation of this atrocious advertisement and the feedback is so bad that your going on line pretending to be some mother or father whose kids look forward to this inherently unfunny piece of advertising. It's shockingly bad and you should be ashamed of yourself for making it. You represent everything that bad about this country.

    I think it's pathetic that you are on line trying to engage in dialectic regarding your execrable output. You're not going to change anybody's mind. Your Bertie and Louis ads are contemptible. They prove the lack of creativity that exists within your company and this country. They are a reflection upon you and the hollow person that you are. The only reason that they ever made it to our screens in the first place is because the lame witted rabble that that thrive in this country have as little vision and originality as you, whoever you are. Perhaps you're Carol Lambert, Ger Roe, Ronan Nulty??? I don't know but you're a sad individual.

    For anyone who can't guess this Holysmokes cnut works for the company that made the ads. They are called Publicis QMP nd they are the same company that poisoned our airwaves with the insipid Meteor ads. His/Her name is either Ronan Nulty, Carol Lambert or Ger Roe. If you try and go onto Youtube to comment on any of their ads they won't allow you to. Instead they post the same phoney positive comments as they do on Boards.ie from bogus aliases and say stuff like "they should make Bertie and Louis dolls" In short they are corporate c*cksuckers.

    It is clear that Holysmokes is involved in some way. The most pathetic thing of all is that these people have the cheek to do things like this, it shows how ****ing stupid they are that they think nobody would notice. I do think you are right, this kind of behaviour sums up some of what's wrong with this country. Corporate c*cksuckers indeed.

    Looking at Publicis QMP website, they are responsible for some of the most awful advertising of the past few years. Charlie Brooker was right, the people in advertising are usually the biggest **** imaginable. HIGH FIVE. BOOYAH!

    Aren't some of the advertising folks living on the street at the moment, because not even their bullsh1t campaigns can raise enough revenue to pay their salaries?

    It was Model Communications who had the Spar contract according to the Spar public relations office and so I can only guess it's somebody from that company who has been going on line purporting to be a fan of those atrocious advertisements. It wouldn't surprise me if it was your man Oliver Callan from the singularly unfunny Nob Nation himself, as he wrote them and he does the voices (badly). I mean look at this Holysmokes fella's comment..."Spar should have Loius and Bertie dolls for Xmas". Jesus wept. Does that sound like an enthusiastic fan of a tv ad or the words of a conniving executive who's trying to fish for marketing feedback on a public forum? Unless Holysmokes is actually an easily amused retarded manchild I'd wager it's somebody involved in the woeful ad campaign. They live amongst us, these soulless hollow men.

    It's a ****ing thick ad. I cannot stand either of those two talentless, selfish bastards. The worst bit is Bertie going "sure I'll be President someday".

    Is it not meant to be taking the p*ss out of bertie? In another ad he was working in Spar I think? Far flung from his days in the Dáil was the humour attached to it I guess, fairly bad ads but least corner shops are doing good offers none the less.

    And €1 sandwiches = 2 slices of bread and 1 slice of ham-no butter or any of that other fancy stuff!!

    You know what made me sick was 3 years ago bertie was on Ryan Turidy that lickarse idiot from D4 land and all the audience mostly made up of middle class property types were there all swooning over him, there in neg equity now and i hope they enjoy it, everybody down the country knew what a fraud Bertie was.
