Is Bobby not a girl? Honestly had to check the advert description, because I genuinely thought Bobby was a girl. (That haircut was all the rage for women years ago, hence my confusion).

I can't put my finger on it, but the new Verisure alarm ad with the three women in the cinema. I just despise it. I have to mute it every time it comes on, and it seems to be on every ad break.

Hopefully last night put an end to all those awful rugby ads on the go. That RTE one with some knob droning on about daring to dream in a very monotone boring voice for starters. Then that Vodafone one with the manager as a young lad getting dropped off to training. Shite stuff altogether.

Please God. Sick and tired of all that shite. Paul O Connell and his vegetables and little Andy.

Have seen them all countless times today. Surely if the marketting team in Vodafone or Aldi had any self awareness, they would have been keeping an eye on the results and told the television companies to pull the ads once we were out of the competition. Alas, no such luck.

I find this advert a bit wierd - If it was on old man flashing the lights at a young girl would it be acceptable ?

Its a strange ad anyway, and yes if the genders were reversed it most certainly would not be deemed acceptable.

Ah but I think we’re supposed to believe that the team are all gods that is mere mortals can only dream of emulating. In not a rugby fan or even a sports fan as such but did watch the match and could see early in they were not going to come out on top that night. In as much as I know they played well but just didn’t have that extra bit to push them over the top. I think in the real world we might have bad days at the office but sure up the following day and are a bit hunkered but get on with it. The the marketing Pele though these guys only technically didn’t qualify and they’re actually out saviours and we should be ashamed for doubting them. Yes pulling the ad is the right way to go but I suppose the incident reckon controversy seems as well. IMHO continuing to whoop for a team due gone today is embarrassing for the brands.

The Aer Lingus ad really annoys me . The young boy is tired and cranky , it’s left to his sister to look after him and read to him while Dads contribution is a very helpful

” try get some sleep now “

And she turns on her tablet with the speakers blaring which wakes him up so she turns it off again. BUT, Aer Lingus have a new feature where they put in dividers while you are in the loo. And she can now watch her tablet but remembers to use her headphones this time. Aer Lingus to the rescue.

Utterly contrived. 0 out of 10.

The new Irish Independent ad coming in clutch with the token black person in the Celtic themed jersey.

Getting to the stage where I just laugh.

I think the Tesco one still wins the award for being the most shoehorned in.

No, the new TUDublin ad trumps that. A token in every clip. Every one. The entire ad is a PC scream. Two girls building a racing car in Bolton st. I don't know if they've ever had a female apprentice mechanic there in their 60 odd years. Someone will correct me no doubt.

Stick a female Maori apprentice in for bonus brownie points. Sure why not?

Those adverts were kind of funny, in that they ran during episodes of Fair City, and the guy in the advert was in Fair City as a lackey for hire.

Has anyone ever actually got a cheaper quote from Chill/Quote Devil/123 ? Every year our home/car insurer tries to ride me. I've yet to get a better quote from the above, but I always do better by getting a new customer quote from my existing insurer, then ring them up to match. Literally yesterday, car renewal €505, new quote €432.

BTW, a big well know insurer here beginning with A operates its on-line business as a seperate entity to the main company based in UK underwriting the policies. The A direct part get 25% of your home insurance premium as commission.

The Robbie Williams Felix Cat “it’s great to be a cat” advert … arghh it drives me mad.😤

Also a radio advertisement from one of the insurance companies which features an exchange between a mother and daughter. The mother proceeds to ask the daughter questions.. followed by her response of “yes maaaaam”… and she has a car called Franco… dear gawd, that advert drives me mad 🤬

Bord Gais one with the intrepid girl and her dog doing the rounds again. This time it's someone that isn't black shoehorned in at the end to show how multicultural and wonderful we are! An attractive girl of Asian extraction. And she has an Irish accent! Casting agents were probably pulling the yokes off themselves.

Is there an "Ads you love" thread?

Arse on Jade in that Comfort fragrance ad. 💜

Lol, I see you mentioned this very advert earlier in the thread (see my post above for an additional rant 😂)

In all fairness though, it really is a dire ad. 😩

The berocca advert where the girl tries to get on the bus by swiping her sandwich cos she hasn't woken up yet.

She's cute, I like the advert.

She was organised enough to make and pack a sandwich though? Unless her mum made it. Our eldest when in leaving cert, way back, really struggled to get out of bed, would be so late he'd beg his mam for a lift, and would try, and sometimes succeed, to go back to sleep during the ten minute drive. It's a late teens thing for some.

Probably made the sandwich the night before, kept it in the fridge until the next morning. She don't strike me as a morning person, in the advert. I've never been a morning person, so I can empathise I guess. I'm a night owl, so that level of morning disorganization would happen often for me.
