Housebarrassment

Gawd, newmember, one of your kitchen doors is a bit crooked. Shouldn't you get a new kitchen ffs?!

So, eh, I can't be the only one thinking that if I pointed the webcam at a shiny new kitchen with top-of-the-range appliances that, perhaps the boss would think I must earn too much?

The buck toothed Billy Elliott wannabe Vodafone ad

If this kid hasn't been horribly bullied by his schoolmates there is no hope for Western Civilisation. We need to reopen the schools if only for this purpose

Plus I don't get the advert/ brand either... they can't exclude anyone based on gender, including men.

It's just a brand. I saw somewhere a guy got insured by them.

Any ad that uses CGI to make animals dance or talk. It's not funny. At all.

Ditto ones that use 'talking babies'... it's creepy, not cute.

That stuff is excellent. Saves me getting about 4/5 colds per season. It's been out for about 20 years. They stopped advertising it because it worked and it stopped people buying their other products.

I agree that advertising now is a bit cynical alright.

You mean it stops you from getting the symptoms

Covid-19 aside, it stops a cold developing after the first symptoms.

ie. you wake up in the morning and the nose is a bit runny and you just know there's a cold incoming. Do nothing and the cold takes hold.

A few squirts of first defence up the snout during the day and that's that. No cold develops.

That sounds like a cure for the cold virus. I hope the EU is buying up stocks

In the 'no screens at the table' ad, the mother, son and daughter are all shown looking at screens. I don't think the Dad character gets a look in.

Vodafone ad;
Are the "cracks" not branches?
She follows to attic finds out she is descended fro GBS? As he left a book there in the 1980's ( by the look of cover).
Why are all network ads so puke?

Fairy and their stupid tough baby character
Ever since i was a little kid, fairy for me was associated with softness and gentle touch, bubbles bouncing off fresh snuggly towels and giggly babies chuffed to bits with their soft warm woolly blankets.

The new tough baby destroys that whole association and the whole image I always had of fairy. Now it's just another really annoying ad mascot, albeit one that might get shot selling drugs behind the microwave.

At least they changed the voice from the gravelly voiced one that sounded like Ray Winston in a bad film to a more softer one. Whoever signs off on these ads is an idiot.

Have they cut the amount of things the Mother askes for?

Also the An Post Money add with the little smart arse kid. Sorry but he's to intelligent to be cute .... "what's finance?" ....

I know your either a smart arse kid or a talentless bucked toothed one... :pac: I blame the parents.

Nuds on rugs.

I wouldn't have thought the word 'nuds' could be regionalised to Ireland

Furthermore to that ad, the young nerdy lad role-playing as some army general wouldn't last thirty seconds in military training

Maybe she's muttering "if the other half was back from work now there's no way you'd get away with that, ya little brat."

I'm just wondering if everyone thinks the little lad is actually making the dinner then? It's completely obvious, Dad's doing the cooking, the small child is setting the table, and the other three are engrossed in their phones. That would also very simply explain why Dad isn't similarly sitting around on his phone. There's really nothing to see here.

The kid has made the dinner and set the table. He's under there thumb, he needs to be rescued from these morons quickly. The Dad is on anti-depressants you can see he just sitting at the table waiting for his dinner as he looks jealously at his high power wife, he's even had to start an affair with his 75 year old widowed neighbour, that's where he gets his anti-depressants from. Meanwhile his wife doesn't want to tell him she was made redundant and is only on Zoom to a work friend who is also pretending to be at work. The wife knows fine well were his "covid" walks bring him.

Its one ****ed up family.

I suppose the Permanent TSB ad has been mentioned here before? The one with the slightly stalkerish looking bank official?

This one cracks me up. All I can think is: He’s not happy for them. He’s smugly smiling knowing they are going to be part paying his wages for the next 30 years.

There’s one I think it’s for Laya healthcare that I can’t stand. It has the tag line “what will Niamh switch next” It has a very smug looking woman switching things around in her life. Then staring smugly at her husband (who looks afraid of her) because he’s dared to put a teabag in the sink. So stupid.

Have I got this right, he takes the teabag out of the sink and puts it back into the mug - WTF!

:D. People are really overthinking this ad. (What is going on between the wife and Tom is the real question !)
