"Take me into the town of Dubalin, or else there'll be troublein" I want to smash the radio every time i hear this. The only ad that comes close is the wixax tele ad.

Pretty sure the aim of the add isnt to piss people off. If it is then they need a new marketing team.

If it gets people talking about it, then they view it as job done.

How much coverage did Hunky Dory's get, despite their ad being eventually actually banned because it pissed off the feminists ?

I HATE that ad for Kinder Pingui.

TBH, that ad doesn't really bother me, I think it's kinda funny. That poxy 82020 ad makes my blood boil though, can't even listen to a full one on the radio. I'd seriously prefer to walk for miles from the middle of nowhere than use one of their cabs!! Grrr!!

There’s another ad for a taxi company that somehow manages to be even worse than the NRC one. It’s the one with the cockney “geezer” going on about how some successful businessman likes to organise his own taxi. Except this time some silly girl in the office booked the taxi but instead of taking him where he wanted to go it left him in a field or something.

Hella annoying.

I agree the really naff ads on that radio station that's "addictive music" etc are the only downside - there's the David Carey menswear ad with the Rambo / Terminator character shooting up the place ............"sorry I got so excited at the prices".......

I often hear people say that but if an ad annoys me that much I will refuse to buy from said company them because of the advert.Hence I wont buy from Harvey norman, eurocycles to name just a few.

I stopped buying anything made by Dolmio because those puppets really pissed me off.

Protip: Radio ads are custom made to p*ss you off so that you'll remember them

I don't think the ad would be half as bad if they had some proper rappers doing it instead of what sounds like a couple of Dublin skobes....

There used to be an ad on East Coast Radio for Gammell Financial Services. Yer man used to have the most monotonous voice like even he didn't want to do it & I think he was the owner

macman2010

ok anothetr one, the post phone add on the radio where they have what is quite clearly a dublin bloke doing some stupid indian accent and making a complete arse of it. :mad::mad:

Reminds me of that horrible ad from years ago my name is Rashers see, I've had some flashes see which no doubt had a seminal influence on the career of Damien Dempsey.
