Are you attracted to the new woman in the UPC advert?

    I find myself quite partial to the woman in the new UPC advert.
    There's something sexy about her in a "friend of your mother's
    who'se still got it
    " kind of way.

    Anything is better than that Craig Doyl€ to be honest.
    As me auld father would say "The next place you'll
    see that fella will be The Crib at Christmas."

    I used to like the tiny tiny image of the one pushing the shopping trolley down the phone line.

    No, she seems like she moans a lot


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,161 ✭✭✭frag420


    I know her, she is a friend of my mothers!!

    No, she seems like she moans a lot

    That's because her husband pays her no attention in the advert. You can cut the tension
    in that marriage with a knife. He's obviously a gambling junkie hooked on football betting.
    He's probalby on the phone to his bookies to put a pony on his kid's football match.
    Look at him stuffing his face. He doesn't deserve her.

    I'll see your Jean Byrne and raise you Carol Kirkwood off the BBC Breakfast weather.

    Preferably both at the same time.

    No - not my cup of tea whatsoever.
    Anyway, i'm saving myself for the blonde off the jml bra ad - she's damn hot!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,205 ✭✭✭barneysplash


    Let's not turn this into a milfs thread, they are boring
    and alienate the womenfolk, we need their perspective if we're
    going to save this marriage.

    If he's not on the phone to his bookies, is it another woman?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,767 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    The woman in the Secret Escapes ad is where it's at.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,026 ✭✭✭Gulliver


    Admit it OP, it's the wee wink at 0:16 in the video that hooked you!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,464 ✭✭✭Celly Smunt


    The woman in the Secret Escapes ad is where it's at.

    I agree,women who try to save you money behind your back are rare.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,074 ✭✭✭sok2005


    Is she Catelyn from Game of Thrones?

    Yes, physical attraction is part of it, but to be honest,
    I'd like to see her try to patch things up with her hubby.

    Maybe I'm just seeing things I don't have in my own life, reflected in
    someone else. It's kind of like wi-fi, it's all around you but you can't reach
    out and touch it.

    Marriages have to be worked at to stay fresh. It's easy to fall in to a
    rut and then blame your other half when things start to feel stagnant.
    Just like slow broadband, it can leave you frustrated and irritable.

    Maybe they can look up a nice break just for the two of them
    on the new broadband. That way they can try and rediscover
    what made them fall for each other in the first place.

    In the end, I just want her to be happy, even if it's not with me.

    So from a TV commercial we can tell she is experiencing relationship issues with her husband.. lol

    Any more TV Adverts that tell a different story then the selling product


    Also, no. She would not get it. Unless.........


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,324 ✭✭✭BillyMitchel


    I don't believe I intentionally pressed 100 on my remote. Fock you OP, fock you!!

    To answer your question. If I drank a bottle of JD and she walked in wearing some sexy Ann Summers gear then it's safe to say my answer would be yep.

    Look at her swinging her luscious hips around in her floaty frock.
    Tell me there's not more to her movement than selling carpet cleaner.

    Ricky Gervais had a skit about how she was cleaning up after a sex party
    she was having before her husband comes home. Can't find a clip of it though.

    Bring back Aoife from the e-mobile ads, she was proper MILFy. And had no limits :)

    Never heard of that company Aircom, was it?

    That's obviously an advertisement for a penis enhancement clinic, dubbed over
    from a foreign country. "Call our sales team today up upgrade your manhood to
    our unlimited purple majesty package."


    Watch it with the sound off and tell me I'm wrong.

    You know OP, your interpretation of the ad actually makes me want to see a follow up ad where they patch things up. It would be better than Fair City!

    OPENING SHOT: Husband having a nice cup of tea in a mug with "Big Boss" written on it.
    He's sitting at the breakfast bar, casually looking at the racing on his iPad. He looks to camera:

    "Since getting the UPC broadband installed, the wife and me are getting along much better.
    I didn't know how bad things had gotten until I saw what fibre-broadband could do for us.
    Then I saw what we were missing. We used UPC to book a break for us - we went off to the
    Antrim coast for a few days and it was like when we first met, we couldn't keep our hands
    off each other.

    Don't leave it too late, or try other substandard marital aids like 3 broadband or Meteor sticks,
    you'll only make things worse. Take it from someone who nearly lost it all -
    you can get the spark back. "


    He looks over at the sofa, and his wife is having a nap, knackered from their bedroom
    acrobatics from the night before.

    He then looks out the window at Craig Doyle who is sweating like a slave, frantically washing
    his car for him. He smiles at the camera and winks, a happy man, king of his castle once more.

    I thought you were on about that guy who walks and acts like a woman in the other Fibre Power ad, you know the one where that guy takes pictures of the concert and on the train, he has such a girly, womanly walk and vibe about him, already hes annoying me and I dont even know him!

    I can see the attraction OP. Bit of a Susan Sarandon look about her.

    Yeah, totally get that. There is a touch of class about her.
    I can totally see her doing one of those charity calenders
    in the nip. Maybe out in the potting shed with a couple of strategically
    placed geraniums. Don't forget the gloves and the wellies nom nom nom :D

    Mind you, this is a much sexier broadband advert:

    Have you only arrived on the internet in the last year? :)

    The Hoff was one of the original internet memes, pictures and jokes and all sorts abounded of the Hoff online probably from 2001 - 2006. Mr Hoff, not doing anything of significance, decided to seize this unlikely upsurge in popularity and make some money doing cheesy broadband ads.

    It pretty much killed the meme stone dead, even though the ads were good. A celebrity seizing their meme is a little bit like having to explain the punchline of a joke.

    Dammit, ever since this thread made me think of that ad in a sexual context, the phrase "we've been fibre powered, have you?" sounds absolutely filthy ;)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,122 ✭✭✭BeerWolf


    No, I let out a snarl at all these UNLIMITED BROADBAND, CHEAP!!!! adverts... considering all I can get in me area is fecking Mobile Broadband with measly data caps that cost a fair bit more for it!

    She is so hot it is ridiculous! Even if she was speaking English I still probably wouldn't catch most of it:)

    Is that UPC woman related to Mammy Stark from game of thrones aka Margot Al Harazzi from 24? They look very alike

    Edit:
    The mother speaking in this ad is Lady Cathleen Stark from Game of Thrones
    .

    Eh, never mind!!
