    This advert popped up late last night. It's less an annoying advert, more a sad one really.

    The dude who pops up around the 14 second mark died last year. So kind of sad.

    How would anyone even know this?

    Who was he?

    Any ad with Eva longoria mostly hair ads.

    How would anyone even know this?

    The band are called 'Walk off the Earth', and they became famous a while back for their cover of Gotye's Somebody that I used to know.

    Mostly it became known because they played the song on one guitar, at the same time.


    Who was he?

    Mikey 'Beard Guy' Taylor, died on the 29th December, 2018. Apparently it was natural causes, and he went in his sleep.

    I am sick of mobile network ads.

    48 (that's "fordy eighd") with their "dada" that can be swapped or "donaded". And Lycamobil with the 20G of data being a "power punch". I want to punch that girl.

    Even GoMo with an ad that's reminiscent of the priests chat line on Fr Ted is preferable.

    The ad for some Broadband provider, forget which, with that goofy looking girl saying " Google, play music" or something like that and prancing around her room then staring slack jawed at some cgi shyte. Whole thing grinds my gears.

    The promo with Sinead Kennedy for her summer show. Her laugh goes through my head.

    Seems trendy to record ads with a phone nowadays. Tacky

    It's the dead eyed, psychotic stare she has...

    Feel like I need to call Will Graham and ask for his help.

    Its dreadful stuff, but fitting for Supervalu - crass, rinky-dink and poorly ran, stopped going to them a while back


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,530 ✭✭✭PieOhMy


    On the perf with surf ad I know its obnoxious, that's beyond question. But have roughly 40% feeling that it's done on purpose that way? Like its kinda playing up that shes a gormless idiot and shed be hamming it up? I don't know to what end but I just have a feeling its intentionally over the top

    There is a different one just for the new samsung phone on sky. It's head wrecking

    I absolutely despise those Ford ads, the ones that come on every ad break.
    It's that ear-busting singing of "Huh....Haa-ay......Haa-aaa-aaa-aaay" that drives me absolutely nuts

    I've just twigged that she's also 'Turn Round Barbara' in an ad for a diet brownie.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,672 ✭✭✭An Riabhach


    That 48 mobile ad,and that over-exaggerated geeky smart-arsed voiceover that goes with it

    That’s not the same actress. The Virgin one is in a new Amazon Prime ad I seen over the weekend though.

    The second lad who comes on looks like he's been stung by bees the weird red head on him, he looks like anti-Irish propoganda cartoons from 19th century British newspapers.

    I don't despise this advert,but I find really really sad.

    The ad (obviously it's coronavirus related) that has the elderly woman writing a letter to her kids, grandkids and great-grandkids.
    It's really upsetting
