I hate that 'now-it-all' twat in the Dell ads.

murphaph

Am I alone, or is this geeky little know-it-all really that annoying? (or maybe I just need help, some sort of anger-management course perhaps?)

monkeyfudge

Which advert?

They have many adverts with annoying gits in them.

Are you talking about the one with the poor foriegn looking guy travels all the way into a computer shop in down and is looking for the Dell computers in the shop window?

What's a "now-it-all"?

KTRIC

Do you mean the bo][ix that come's up to the guy that wants a Dell in front of the store and tells him that they are not available in the store. He's soooo f*ckin cocky. I bet he works in Dell.

I was going to point out the fact that he was missing a 'k' but I didn't want to end up becoming the very thing he hates.

Alright smart arses You know I had a typo because I'm sure you read my post and the 'k' is present (and it wasn't edited as you can also see ),

Anyhoo, yes-I'm talin about that twat in the ads with the big headphones who relishes telling the poor sod who's travelled a million miles to get his computer.

Arrghh, damn this old sony, perhaps I need a Dell. I hear they're available in the shops <gets coat and heads into town on Dublin Bus, forced to endure the smell of hash smoke all the way in, before punching 'Dell boy' in the face>

If you read his first post you will see he spelt it correctly..

Actually, do you think that advert is the Dell TV ads division having a go at the Dell print ads division?

They seem to be suggesting that the print advert isn't very clear and that people are wandering around shops looking for Dells as a result.

So, this is a product of internal departmental strife, eh? Innnnteresting.

Me, I obviously hate that ad because a simple concept is being over-explained and it makes me despair for the species.

tvnutz

I hate that ad...its so badly dubbed as well.

Yep. It's right up there with the Kinder Beuno adverts.

It's amazing though.. someone obviously thought that advert was so good it was worth recylcling for a different country's market.

tvnutz

lol,ye those kinder ones are bad,have you noticed they even do it with ads that are in English,they just dub it over with an Irish accent,and they still cant do it right,you can tell its badly dubbed!

grimloch

Toothpaste ads are notorious for poor dubbing.

The Dell ads before this new wave clearly specify at least once that the machines can't be bought in shops, why this needs clarification is beyond me powers of understanding.

I actually hate the poor disapointed schmuck in that ad more than the aforementioned 'you can't buy it in the shops so go online!' smartarse.

Never mind the fact that yer man STILL doesn't understand that you 'can't buy dell in the shops' (I mean how long is that company around now?) but add to that that anyone who HAS to pour themself a cup of coffee whilst sitting on a packed bus in 40degree temperature is clearly an asshole to begin with!

Bring back the DellDude is my final word on the matter tbh!
