    I'm not normally one for adverts to particularly annoy me, but this one just makes me want to rip my fúcking eyeballs out of my face.



    Am I over-reacting, or do you the good people of afterhours share my distress?!

    Ah maybe you're overreacting just a bit.

    Whats wrong with it?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I like her. She can advertise ahead, imo..

    It's not that its crap, it actually irritates me. The plastic expressions on all the faces, the sex and the city rip-off vibe of it all and the faux hipster gimps jiving around the place. Christ, its hell visualised.

    I generally don't get the hate for ads but that stinks a big hot smelly one.

    What the **** does that line even mean? It doesn't begin to make sense. I'll randomly quote from the Wizard of Oz because I am an eejit.

    They do realise they just walked into a gay bar, right?:pac:

    Bar is called the Emerald City. Is supposedly full of "Friends of Dorothy" (although their dress sense and dance moves are more Coppers)

    This should have been incorporated into the ad.

    Yep I posted this ad in the "Trivial things that annoy you" thread a few months ago. It's the dregs.

    I admit I haven't been in many gay bars, but any I have been in had women in them too. That looks more like your typical Donegal disco in fairness.

    I don't get it, is it a bukkake party??

    My mother used to. Until one Christmas Eve when she put the turkey in the tumble dryer. She never realised there was alcohol in it.

    Aragh not at all :)

    You go for it lad :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,574 ✭✭✭whirlpool


    Two things:

    (1) I remember seeing how many likes and dislikes that video had on Youtube a while back. It had 30 dislikes and 10 likes. I see that they've since hidden the Likes/Dislikes :pac:

    (2) I have to admit that I've only now just realised that it's a gay bar. "The Emerald City." "There's a lot of guys here." "You're not in Kansas now, Toto." I feel kinda stupid.

    Shallow Irish women in an American gay bar. Did Westcoast cooler want a fag hag ad or was it just a happy coincidence:confused::D

    I faintly remember some ads shown years ago that were originally british made, with british actors but re-dubbed with irish voiceovers when they were shown on irish television.

    That ad sounds like it has been re-dubbed for irish television which would explain why they're in an American gay bar. But then again, I could be wrong.

    Annoying alright.

    theres something patronizing about it.

    also its like it was devised by a guy in his 60's
    maybe if we associate happy good looking "hip" young people having a whale of a time in a "hip" and trendy place, then say our name, they'll buy our product.

    oh yes Alfred, and try one of those new meme things, give it a catchy phrase.

    (it was a private club ... kind of underground, but hey, they got in because they're so hip that they know about these things, they're part of the scene, I suppose that could be attributed to their taste in alcoholic drinks, if you choose the drink maybe you can be hip like them too)

    Toto? OMG! it's pronounced TODO. You're such a douche.

    Shocker of an ad alright.

    3 ads that killed me over the last while are this, the Triago piece of whiny ****, and during the WC...every 2 seconds: "GET INTO HYUNDAI"...

    Ahhh!

    I drink it because I've drank alcohol 4 times so far this year after over 3 dry years and I'm currently breastfeeding. A glass of wine would have me on the floor but lately when I'm out I do want a slight buzz and a spritzer suits me fine. I assume that most West Coast Cooler drinkers fit into the category of someone who wants a low alcohol drink. So I'm not sure who they are targeting by adding vodka?:confused:

    I drink it too. It is nice with gin, dash of lime, in a pint glass with ice and a straw.

    Can't drink many if them before they start to feel weird on the back of your throat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,143 ✭✭✭D-FENS


    West Coast Cooler and Vodka? They’ll be dredging knickers from every gutter in the land.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,357 ✭✭✭emo72


    OK it's a gay bar? They're girls. They're not gonna click here. Why the silly movie quotes? Do they think it's cool to talk like that? Why the funny face off her wan? Am I getting old, cos I don't know if I'm missing something obvious here. Am I over thinking this? Definitely. Would I ever buy that drink? No. I fecking despise it now.
