Odd Advertisements

Am I the only one who finds the latest AIB TV Ad very odd

AIB are advertising their services by getting a couple to talk about how difficult it has been to raise their children while paying back their mortgage...

Arent AIB just great for having gathered plenty interest while this couple struggled financially, a bit of an odd Ad imo

It's liking saying "we'll give you a pile of money so you'll be in debt to us for all of your working life."

I think that's part of how advertising works .
It gets your attention first , then if you need whatever they're selling , you consider them or something like that.

does it say the couple in this ad received a gratuity from AIB? if not then I call shenanigans on the whole thing

Yes, I found that one a little strange. I find the Money Supermarket ads very odd. I just don't think they're funny. Builders gyrating in hotpants and heels...okay

Ashton Kutcher and the sexy slice of pizza.

Desperate, and weird, and strained, and unfunny, and weird. And desperate.

Also, cringe inducing, I felt.

The Muller yogurt one with Nicole Pussycat Doll

This is an old one from a couple of years ago.

All the old Grannies sitting around an knitting the Shreddies. I used to like Shreddies but now I couldn't look at them

"Look at these people, they're old. No one should pay us back till they're old. We tried nice 20 year terms in the 80s and it was awful; no decking or flat screen TVs."

Fcuk. I just thinking. Had I of taken a 20 year mortgage, I 'd be halfway through her now. I

Dam you society.

The new Woodies ad. You live near Coolock so you are too poor to buy new furniture. Go to woodies and buy furniture paint and some tat to make yourself feel less poor because 3/4 of your wages go on your mortgage.

WTF?

JackTaylorFan · 25-02-2017 12:13PM

The Guinness ad with the guy in the woods banging his head off the tree. It haunts my dreams - like all good ads should

JackTaylorFan · 26-02-2017 03:44AM

Anybody seen this ad for Pukka Pies with the deadbeat mother and her failing kids? It's just utterly bizarre. She's there tucking into this gross ****e and her children all come in one-by-one to tell her how they are all failing miserably at life. One of her teenage sons even informs her he has just knocked-up some girl.

What the **** is the message here: Pukka Pies, official sponsor of the Jeremy Kyle Show?

I mean, it's pretty much the kinda attitude you'd expect from a person who enjoys eating that ****... But wow!!

What?

The Cadbury eyebrow advert for me:

The Malteasers ad with the wan in the wheelchair. Wrong, just so wrong, and so annoying.
Also, why are Galaxy bars and Philadephia aimed at women?

Actually if you had gotten a 20 year mortgage back in the 80s you would of had it well paid off by now. The house would have cost you Tens of thousands not Hundreds of thousands.

philstar · 26-02-2017 12:02PM

audrey hepburn cgi'ed into that galaxy advert

using a long deceased icon to advertise a chocolate bar ain't right in my book, shame on her family/estate for cashing in on it

Their marketing is a bit strange. I've wondered why this picture appears (see attached) when I go to view my accounts / financials

Funny, I was just discussing this advertisement with someone the other day. It's frightening that poor financial decisions are now becoming normalised by the advertising industry.

The 'moist' granny from the Vodafone ad.

Wtf were they thinking?

The John Lewis Xmas ads. Maybe it's my warped mind but there is something not right about a kid setting up his pet penguin for some loving

When she says "guilty" at the end I vomit a bit in my mouth.

Mace advert.

Weird and even somewhat creepy as fcuk.

Aldi adds in general are annoying but this one is a shade creepy.

I love those Ads. Haven't a clue as to what they're advertising, though!

I must be the only person on boards who finds it funny.

Granny with a hand in her crotch does it no favours. Especially as in the thumbnail that's were the girls gaze is directed.
