Even more adverts you despise

They are perverts, how else could you explain it? The bit where the girl sticks her nose in your mans hole as well. 🤮🤮🤮

I would take the office ad all day over the breakdown ad, that one actually makes me angry every time.

The lady in the pinafore is a dead ringer for Rosa Klebb in From Russia With Love. I wonder is that what they were going for?

Well she looks ready to wipe the floor with poor Aoife until she's appeased with a few blueberries.

Aoife never realised how close she came to getting the poisoned shoe spike. 🤣

Aoife - what is she like!

whoever lets Aoife bring in all that breakfast picnic food wants to have a word with her , and give their heads a wobble - if she worked for me and laid out all her food on the table like that ……. it would be instant dismissal without warning!

I see a lot of people complaining about the Aldi ad but I always got the impression that they're lying the whole time.

The point of the ad is that they want to eat all the food they're bringing themselves, so your one is on to her family lying about why they won't make it.

Of course they're all not at all sorry which is why they're so perky about it. He didn't forget the petrol at all. He's just happy to be the fall guy.

if we are going to dissect it and pull it apart , I think they really have broke down / run out of petrol and they was sad but thought feckit lets get the food out of the boot and its a nice day sure why not - and they didnt really want to visit the relic of the old granny so its even nicer to sit in the car waiting for the tow truck for 4 hours or more and play spot how many tractors drive past … its a bit shyte because they did not even appear to even have any music in the car - but good food good mood or however it goes and at the end of the day they got home and all had an enjoyable day in the end even if it meant waiting for the tow truck and it was better than going round to grannys birthday party which she would have constantly moaned anyway because she is old and thats what old people generally tend to do so its not really a party atmosphere - they would have got round there and went to pull out the food and she would have said something like you dont want to eat any of that shyte its full of processed e-numbers I have made you some proper food to eat , Irish stew and to finish it off as a treat I have made a nice trifle.
Whereas in the car they all had a lovely day out and see the countryside - but indulged too much in the rich food and the kids puked up in the back of the car …… but it was still with all that better than going round to grannies to celebrate her birthday ….

She's a good role model for a right cnut. Granny will have her revenge in her will. Gaslit hubbie is probably 'fiilin 'er up' elsewhere, so he's smiling slyly to himself. Have a few full stops yourself while we're at, that's a record sentence you ran off there, I'm out of breath after reading it. 😁

Aldi office ad used to annoy me until the car one came along. The costume choice for the boss is a strange one alright and a style that hasn't been seen in an Irish office since 1952. However once the car family came along it made all of the actors in the office one seem Oscar worthy. Each of them does a decent job of their role without any grating sentences - unlike the car where I want to punch each and every one of them.

That's because them adverts weren't unrealistic and try hard. I have actually never seen a black ice cream van man or a black woman driving a van in Ireland.

Aldi, like their ads, have gone to shít. Expensive, understaffed and a crap middle aisle. The ads simply reflect this. FWIW The family, particularly the mother are cúnts for skipping an 80th birthday. Like it or not, elderly Pele love any curve to see their family, even this lot I’m sure and it’s an 80th so a milestone. It’s likely the grandparents last milestone. Honestly if they’d shown the family broke down then catching and torturing lambs for fun it’d be less offensive.

This might come as a surprise to you, but there have been black people and south Asian people in Ireland for more than a few years. I've seen black women driving Amazon vans.

It's quite funny to see how triggered some people get by seeing the mere existence of black, south Asian, gay people.

There were hundreds and thousands of people cast in ads, all of them nicely white, generally nicely middle class, (occasionally with an RTE luvvie doing a Dubbbalin accent), always straight. Perhaps you got so conditioned to just seeing yourself in these ads that you're getting a bit triggered to seeing other people? We've a long way to go to catch up on the historical imbalance, so hang in there.

Black, South Asian gay people 🤔 There can't be too many of them in Ireland. 😂

The triggered thing is all in your head. I have absolutely nothing against minorities, just companies who go out of their way to show how PC they are. I'd love to know what the story is with it, apparently companies get paid £250,000 in the UK for having minorities in their adverts, maybe it's the same here.

You really do live a sheltered life, don't you?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/123715634#Comment_123715634

"I've nothing against minorities." Gwan, try the old 'one of my neighbours/workmates is black/south Asian/gay' line, and see if that's any more convincing. Did you read about the £250,000 payment in the Daily Mail? 🤣

I don't at all. But you obviously like to throw that accusation out a lot on very little evidence. Go ahead.

You missed my point completely. I'm not triggered. I couldn't give a bollix. I was making a statistical statement. Ethnic representation in real life depictions would require 1 in 90 of the cast. This is not cumulative over all ads over time, regferring to casts of hundreds and thousands is misleading, e.g, filled footballl stadia as backgrounds to ads are either stock, special effects, or these days. AI. Actual cast in any campaign could be representative of the population. I don't care if it isn't, I never said it should be, but perhaps you are saying it shouldn't, that every ad should have paddy the Irishman, the English man, the Asian man, with at least one of them blind or in a wheelchair or overtly gay. Fine by me. Misrepresentative, but if it makes you happy, and other's miffed, then there you go.

I don't think there has even been an ad that has been analysed and dissected as much as this one. It won't be long before someone does a thesis on it!

Was our commentary here responsible for the edit to the tractor? The absence of a mandatory roll bar? Are we influencers? Should our posts be more like thick tok, we could do a dance and rap our opinions.

That could form part of the thesis!! How the advertisers take note of online criticism and commentary on their ads.

Probably not for the same reason but I notice that that "future me" ad is back and has been edited to remove the bit where the gormless current boyfriend asks if the future hunk is him. A bit odd.

It's funny how enthusiastically some people post about stuff they don't give a bollix about.

How do you get to decide that representation in adverts isn't cumulative?

Representation of minorities is important in advertising and other media. It's important the people see themselves in adverts.

deezell

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/123720474#Comment_123720474

I don't. But say if one pissy knickers ad has an all white cast of 4 or 5, does that mean there has to be a coloured farmer in the mart in the next cattle drench ad? No it doesn't. My point, again, is representational statistics, otherwise it's lies, damn lies.

That Sky Sports ad for the new Premier League season with all the happy clappy people going into football grounds is so cringy.
