I'm from the country and have used mom all my life. Know loads of people who do and mum also. Exceptions to "mam" are very common and not down to the type of influence that I think you're suggesting

Car ads. I feel like flinging the remote at the TV every time I hear "zero emissions" for an eV.

Ever notice how cross over / 4x4s are usually depicted on a mildly undulating gravel road that you could go on in ANY car. Basically saying that we don't trust the car to do anything that's actually difficult off road.

Driver of car is universally good looking, modern in dress with some uber modern house to park in. No 1980s net curtains anywhere.

I have antipathy to the foreign-made car ads that show left-hand drive automobiles with generic Irish number plates.

You mean the hipsters or the 60 year olds that suddenly have a "mom" and not a ma,mam,mum etc.:P

That ad for " prettylittlething".... where all the women are supposed to be super sexy & the clothes highly desirable-- gotta say that's an awful ad...just doesn't work

That ad is woeful! But the girl straddling the toilet cistern just makes me ask... "Why?"

Personally I cant stand the word mum and it's used way too much in advertising. They could always use the more neutral "mother".

They're more fashion 4x4s than proper rufty tufty 4x4s.

A 4x4 for those who don't need a 4x4 for anything more extreme than picking up children and shopping and driven by the kind of driver who drives it up the Sally gap in a snow shower and gets stuck.

"Mom" is one of the most nauseatingly whiny of all the many nauseatingly whiny Americanisms

Jaysus is there anything worse than a greasy corporation capturing the latest trendy thing (climate change seems to be the trendiest right now) and ****ing as much out of it as possible.

And those (like moooar lady) the cause seemingly oblivious to this abomination.

If I could pinpoint what is wrong with the world today, that would have to be vying for the top spot.

Literally the corporate world ****ing the woke world. Predator AIB looking for the fresh woke meat Climate change is basically that ad.

Ugh.

would have been fairly active many years ago I imagine. It's quantity not quality when it comes to ads these days

Was watching Eurosport last night, during the ad break every single advert was either for gambling sites or credit financing type ads. No coincidence I'm guessing.

Sponsoring TV shows and "funny" ads -but have to say all gambling as ads are as bad as each other..

The one with two commentators following a lanky muppet with his lucky shorts through his gaff. Think its for paddy power.

The Peter Crouch ad. The line about breeding is crass. Imagine saying it about a woman.

The Seachtain na Gaelic’s ad with Imelda May’s pidgin Irish “poetry”. Awful, how is her spoken word salt of the Earth stuff a thing?

The avonmore ad used weather sponsorship where she goes into the fridge moaning because of the names on items. Anyone who has worked and has a shared fridge knows the reason why you put your name on food, because some cheap tight arse thinks everything is theirs to eat, like her.

Hate that ad too. She’s the kind of person who’d leave a gas hob on or the door wide open after going to work.

It’s giving me serious house share bad memories.

"The irish for pyjamas is pighamigi. Seachtain na Gaeilge is a great time to learn a new irish word".

If I learn a new irish word every year at Seachtain na Gaeilge, I'm eventually be fluent by my 1000th birthday. Its a good strategy.

I despise paddy power and all bookmakers...

The englishness in the ladbrokes ad disgusts me....where the "nation" plays...

What nation???...get the f*ck out of it....

Ruby walsh is a painful little prick aswell....

Id love to see these gambling ads banned.....
