    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.

    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?!

    Aragh not at all :)

    You go for it lad :D

    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.

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,226 ✭✭✭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.

    I didn't get this one either - is it a gay bar? I can't imagine loads of men dancing around with just men in any other setting. If it they were all just sitting around, or there was a few guys or something, it would more likely. But this... Its weird.

    The thing is, people are getting paid to make these. Good money. Ad agencies. And I've worked with these agencies in the past (as a paying customer) and I can tell, these "creative" "meeja" types are, well... often not the brightest bunch. I've often had to correct grammar and even language in copy, and question some of the ideas as they were nonsensical.

    What are ads?
    (Said with an air of superiority from a guy who doesn't have a TV).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,623 ✭✭✭thegreatgonzo


    I used to hate those Mikado ads they brought out a few years ago with the 3 girls that were supposed to be the biscuits or something. God it really annoyed me.

    Ads aren't just on TV.
