    "You'll never beat the Irish"

    I'm feeling very tempted to beat the Irish twats who produced that sentimental, patronising schite with a very heavy, blunt object at length about the head.

    Just saw this, a hackneyed inspirational poster in the form of an ad.

    Maybe its my TV but in some of the close ups her hair looks purple, sure sign of too much "black" hair dye.

    Another borderline celebrity, anyone would imagine her Hair is about all she has
    to offer TV

    The ad on Irish tv promoting what I think is internet safety and cyber-bullying awareness for kids.

    "Talking and talking makes you stronger....."

    The jingle is so annoying though. Reminds me of some Russian tune from the Cold War era.

    Some bloody awful cheap looking ad for insurance that I've seen a few times on ITV4 with a talking baby.

    Yep. It always looks awful when they try and make a baby look like its talking. Emirates airlines made a balls of it too recently in one of their ads.

    Is it set in the past? The gear they do be wearing, her glasses, top and fur lined denim jacket. His denim cowboy shirt. Granted, I've only seen the one where the girl is told Aunt Viv will need the car. Is there more, is it a series of ads? Looks like it.

    It’s a chip, no it’s a trick of the mind, no it’s a chip :mad:

    I’m sick of their ads and it’s a reason why I wouldn’t choose that company

    Hard to say. Those huge 70's glasses are big with the youngsters atm, like the girl in the Flaghavans ad where they are touring the Factory and they can't see/hear anything.
    I must have a closer look at the car next time, that will tell the tale.

    I have to mute that ad.

    Also can't stand any ad where words are pronounced with a d that isn't in the actual word. Community - comm uni dee, society socie - dee...
    Two ads that particularly grate on me, in that respect...the national loddery ads and bank of arrland ads.

    That's a particular bugbear of mine. There's a YouTube music ad with an Irish actor doing the voice over. He says "youtoob". Grrrrrr


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,875 ✭✭✭Dickie10


    theres a voiceover actor sounds a bit like nicky byrne, he does that an awful lot has a slight "40 major a day" gravel voice.

    The Aunt Viv one looks very 1980s. the girls sounds like she has a half english accent when she say"aw a love aunt viv" like someone in corries st might say.

    Also the "helllooo Budddaaay " that woman has a half english half dub accent , i find those very annoying accents. RTE John Kilrayne has one and Pascal Donohoe is a bit like that too.

    That new Lynx ad in "Manchester" where your time travels from 1995 to 2020, why does the school look like a generic American high school.

    Also where's is the social distancing when he gets to 2020??????

    There'll be no social distancing when you're smellin' of Lynx Africa kid. You'll have to bate them off with a stick.

    Why must the first sentence in almost every ad featuring a real person have.a.full.stop.after.every.word?


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,761 ✭✭✭✭Mantis Toboggan


    Any ad for quote devil.

    I've never heard of anyone using them. They must spend millions on advertising each year, God knows how.

    My brother was inquiring about insurance for his car and business with them. Compared them to 3 other insurance companies regarding price.

    They were the most expensive, by far.

    The new Tampax ad. Shove it!

    https://youtube.com/watch?v=9X0LpyXMnjg

    "You gotta get them up there girls!"

    They have some Mel B lookalike. This lady would have been far funnier.

    I watched this ad more closely and the car seems modern enough. Maybe 10 years old at the most. So I think it's set today and the girl dresses hipster-like.

    His voice is annoying, but I've seen him in interviews-and he's insufferable.

    He’s the definition of a cuck. Fawning over women, putting pussy on a pedestal like some turbo **** teenager. A ****in geebag (and I don’t even use that term)

    He's a word salad kinda douche.

    He'll use words that show 'he owns a thesaurus'... but it's all to hide the complete crap he's spouting.

    I hate 'word salad' people. They literally do it because they know they're talking absolute s***. If they used normal wording, their points would be refuted, easily.
    If Stephen Hawking didn't use word salads' to explain the universe-nobody else should either.

    I think they insure people that have had drink driving or drug driving convictions and drivers that have been refused a quote elsewhere, drivers no other insurer will touch with a bargepole


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,287 ✭✭✭RabbleRouser2k


    They're still showing the Angela Scanlon advert...

    Is this some way to make us 'not forget her'... has to be some reason behind it.

    No they don't. I try them every year for the crack and they've never contacted me. They don't give you a price there and then, you fill in the usual myriad of questions and an agent will call you..... allegedly:rolleyes:
