Has that AJ Products ad been mentioned here before?

That horrific ad where they sing various office products?

"Pallet trucks, laddeeerrrrs, filing cabinets folders!"

It used to be on at the same time every morning on NT, and I die a little inside every time I hear it...

I haven't had occasion to ring them, but I imagine if you do, that'll be the hold music.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you worked there, that it would be piped around the place all day - in which case, it's a mercy that our gun control laws are so strict...

Pfft. It's rubbish. No way at all I secretly like it, and may indeed even be humming it to myself right now.

Mazda. Lordly, lord Mazda.

The one with the couple who are breaking up. Sounds like it might be a bit jokey, but then...do you think we could give us another try? Y'know because of this f*ckin Mazda?

I'm sorry guys, heard their new ad this morning and they're not singing the names of the products anymore. :P

I just came on to post about this very ad! Were you listening to Pat Kenny on Newstalk this morning? That was my first time hearing it. The Skowda ads are still worse though.........so they are.;)

As I said previously, I am a fan of this advert.

The main reason I never liked it was 'cos I could barely understand what they were singing. I got a few products and missed loads of them. And I was never actually certain that the company was AJ Products, I had to google it yesterday before posting here to make sure. :P

This Trevor guy is so hated...I wonder if he's in this fictional company's marketing department? :pac:

-"Hi, Mark? ...I thought I called your Kildare office"
-"You did, I'm in London. I'm using this Magnet phone service which keeps my bills..."
-"Cut the shit Mark, how much is this call costing me?"

The follow up to that ad is even worse. A "boss" is using the detailed Magnet reports to see all the international calls. But they can't be much good as reports, since he hasn't twigged that the calls were dirt cheap.

Apparently the first draft of the script was:

"Oi Mark! Even though you haven't said a word yet, I know you're not in your office, what the f*ck is going on mate?"
"Yeah, my office phone transfers to my mobile if I don't answer, y'know, pretty standard call forwarding. But anyway, instead of discussing this (because really, does it matter to you where I'm answering from?) and talk about what you actually rang me for?"

And he talks like a speech-to-text programme...

"Balls! I thought I could get away with leaving a voicemail, but now I have to talk to you."

Trying to figure out the new ford ad. They give some psychological jargon at the start telling people to "unlearn". Then you have unlearn yourself with this new ford deal. It's the same deal for the past 3 years! Cut the ****!

Birneybau · 22-06-2016 12:43PM

These Budweiser Dream Big ads.

There is no way in hell I'm helping any of those twats win €50k.

What's a Nungy Micky Mortgage from KBC Bank?

Mr E · 22-06-2016 11:16PM

A few stinkers on at the moment.

Energlaze double glazing with horribly scripted women extolling the virtues of their neighbour's windows. Only a quarter of an inch in old money! *giggle* *giggle*

AJ Products have gone from their catchy ad to something much more generic and boring (probably so we can feel smug when the original one comes back).

The mazda ad as mentioned by others. Just sounds horribly forced.

There is a bank ad (PTSB I think?) who are delighted with themselves for giving YOU money for using their current account. The T&Cs at the end really undo it for them though. You get 10c every time you use your debit card, up to a maximum of €5 per month. And oh, by the way, you're charged €4 per month admin charge! So just make sure you sure you use your card at least 40 times a month or we'll take money off you! (they might as well put that last line in the ad)

No you called me at my Orkan office.

The company portrayed in that ad needs to get a better HR department. The boss dude can't read a phone bill and the girl is surprised to get through on a number that she chose to call seconds previously. Not a smart bunch.

I bet someone thought that was a nice touch. They were high fiving each other with that addition.

That stupid SSE Aertricity ad with the emotive piano playing "óle, óle, óle", with the soft voice saying "who know what memories will be created at this year tournament". As well as being annoying, this ad was fairly poorly judged, as it really wasnt probable that we would come away from these Euros with any positive memories (given the group that we were put in). But I guess when the fans come home they can always use the SSE provided electricity to perform ECT on themselves to help them forget.

Ahem!!!
