"If I could catcha eh in a jaaaaaa, or crush like a fly..." what the hell is up with that childs accent /voice? was he on a skoda ad one time too?

Dickie10

i believe we have a winner! im not on the spectrum that i know of but this ad could come with trigger warning, just liftes me out of it. the new centra GAA /hurling ad. absolutely shocking bad stuff. the mother who shrieks "Pull hard Micheal! Burst the stiches off that sliotar", i am 30 years going to hurling matches and I have yet to hear anyone use the phrase, burst the stiches off that sliotar, basically because like golf the aim of the game of hurling is to score not just hit the ball as hard as you can. fair enough pull hard on the ball but not just poll a lad for the sake of it either. the shriekiing is horrendous. so stereotype , big roaring culchie mammy with hurling and if its an ad for soccer it has to be a cheeky chappy dub

speaking of accents in ads i have noticed in Meath anyway, girls from 12 years old onwards dont have an accent anymore, just generic half south county dublin accent, might not be out and out d4 but well spoken and pleasant unless there real skangers.

Exposure to a lot of American accents on tik toc, insta etc, first the accent neutralises, loses all sense of place then gradually becomes Americanized*


*Just my personal theory

Those FBD adverts, for example the one who announces herself straight off as the 'Thompsons TV', ok, so another lame idea of a talking appliance, all good. Then at the end of the advert she announces again as if it's some big reveal and the ad makers think they're bring clever that she's 'the Thompson's TV', frig off!!!

Ok so if a tv screen is damaged these days, they actually repair the screen and not replace the entire telly? Likely story.
It's off to the recycling centre for you, talking Thompsons tv.

That dumbed down, sanitised version of Walk on the Wild Side for a boring car marque (Seat), blanking out the sex, drugs and trans references.

Off topic i know, but i think this is really sad. I love the huge range of accents we have on this island for such a small place and it's a shame that we are losing them...

A reflection that young people's peer groups are more on line than local i guess

I work in an all girls school so I noticed this a lot, even children from farms coming in with no accent rural or otherwise at all, some are from co.cavan but absolutely no Ulster twang or hint at all. i have noticed most dublin ladies GAA players no dublin accent either. just neutral. is there a dublin accent the same as Mary Kennedy Clondalkin accent that is just plain neutral? is it because of most of these GAA players parents being from rurL IRELND

Dickie10

Sorry not sure what happened the typo at the end of the last post

NufcNavan

The current Specsavers ad going on about a crocodile I think it is. Don't mean to sound bad but the chap inadvertently sounds like he has special needs.

The Energia Ad with the two gay/bi/curious lads chatting each other up but finding they have nothing to talk about. The punchline being that they can know talk about Energia's wonderful offers.............:rolleyes:

I really don't know how you managed to extrapolate that from the ad.

“It is OK to be overwhelmed. It’s the pandemic that’s bad. It’s understandable you’ve crawled under a table and can’t cope with the pressures of modern life. It’s tough being an adult etc. etc.”

FFS if you, Bressie and your kind didn’t make an industry out of indulging and pedalling “anxiety” I wouldn’t have to listen to this crap.



How to Adult???!!!! Really?? *cringes myself inside out*

Kind of sums up a certain generation.

Quit the bullshit Opel, there's nothing extraordinary or upmarket about the Mokka. It's just another oversized shitbox to clog up the roads, owned by people who whinge about either how rural Ireland is dying while living in the middle of nowhere, or if they're suburbanites, about the lack of parking after rolling their lardy arses less than half a kilometre to pop into the local Spar/Centra.

The ad where a lad is about to shoot his load about grilling sausages at a bbq, and then you find out it's a lousy Denny sausage. I wouldn't give them to a dog.
