Worst/Best Radio Ads

I find those spoof ads they have before the TV licence part kicks in to be better quality than most of the real ads that are around at the moment.

What the f*ck is your problem you stroppy a-hole? Get the f*ck out of the car and walk.

The dad almost sounds afraid of her at the end! It's the weirdest ad!

It almost sounds like an ad for an elder abuse helpline or something.

That unbelievably weird ad were the dog wants to know why his owner 'rolls around on the bed with her boyfriend' is back. It's so creepy.

So, my car could be worth 5, 10 or even 15 thousand euro as trade-in at my local Toyota dealer. That's amazing, as I only paid 2,000 for it.... and there was no 'terms and conditions apply'... That means it must be true, right?

Stupid, stupid ad.

"I'm not a mechanic... but I know what an oil filter is..... and.... I know where it goes"

Good, well you'll know where to shove it then... and here's another one of that annoying whistling b**tard out the back. :mad::mad:

TV version of that ad, he seems to be intending to put it on the wrong end of the engine for the car he's working on (the top).

And that old reliable “Meadows and Byrne” ad is back again. The summer one naturally – god, what a load of pompous, puerile piss. And come September, will be the worst of the lot – the Meadows and Byrne Autumn ad.

Stupid, stupid ad.

And I'd hope that my 161 Merc S-Class would be worth a bit more than €15k!

Worst radio voice I've ever heard.

That's Emmet Kirwan of the award winning "All Men Are B*stards" drivel that was forced down our throats on youtube a few months back.

"First we had Woodstock, then Live Aid. Now we have some insurance company's Street Party with Dustin The Turkey"

WTF***ingF***???

PeterTheNinth · 01-07-2017 10:59AM

A woman with her two uncle's in the back of the car singing "ten green bottles"?

What century was that advertisement created?

Frankie Lee · 01-07-2017 11:48AM

I find the latest 132.ie ad where the daughter walks in on her father having a shower to be a well made one. Slightly offbeat method of selling insurance granted and it could get annoying if they overplay it.

Bit pervy though. She's 15.

I thought she over-reacted a bit, tbh. You'd think she'd never seen a willy before, and really?

The two most annoying radio ad tropes at the moment are:

'The hysterical or sulky teenager' and

'Breaking up with your partner. wait no... actually your insurance company, or whatever'

His voice is so grating. That said he done this advert and it was good but not because of his voice

'That Baz Thing'? Not only does the name betray a total lack of effort but the concept sounds extremely hazy and unstructured. Sorry, Baz, but telling us that the show is much more exciting than the snoozy music doesn't instil much confidence in this listener.

Is the Renault 'menage-a-trois' ad and are the other Renault TV and Radio ads voiced by Cormac O'Hara (R Na G and Radio 1 currently filling in for Sean O'Rourke)?

It's absolutely ridiculous. It's her father ffs, it's not a paedophile.... "now I'll need therapy"... Who talks like that???

Harry Angstrom · 06-07-2017 04:09PM

Ad on Radio One for The Great Gatsby at The Gate accompanied by music written in the mid 1930's. It doesn't take much for somebody involved to use Google.

PeterTheNinth · 07-07-2017 01:11PM

Apparently culchies can't click their fingers now. Well done to the National Lottery for that piece of absolute genius..

I'm gonna report it as anti traveller.

No I think it's the actor who used to do all voiceovers for the AIB ads a while back when they were plugging their sponsorship of ALL Ireland Club Finals. Andrew Bennett is his name. He was in one of Pat Shortt's 'comedy' TV series and also in the film 'the Stag'.

Been away for a few weeks but just heard an ad on Newstalk for Q Promotions (possibly didn't get the name 100% acuurately there but something like that). It's pretty bad throughout (basic low level formula of one person asking a series of stupid and obvious questions so the other person can say the name of the company repeatedly) but the pièce de résistance is the woman's laugh at the end. Words can't describe it, you just have to hear it.

jca · 11-07-2017 07:08AM

Whatever that ad with the twittering birds is trying to sell to me isn't working as I mute it instantly:mad:

madmaggie · 11-07-2017 07:42AM

The Axa ad with "Mork", bad enough on tv.

Del.Monte · 11-07-2017 09:56AM

The National Lottery Ad with the finger clicking morons brings the word inane to a new level. :mad:

HeidiHeidi · 11-07-2017 12:19PM

That "Homebird" ad for cooked chicken/ turkey.....

I eat a lot of the stuff, and it sounds delicious, but would it ever occur to them to tell us where it's available???

ford fiesta · 11-07-2017 07:11PM

The ad for the SUSI on-line 3rd level grant application system is so annoying as it is voiced by Q102 Dublin radio presenter Debbie Allen who always sounds like she has just woken up from a big sleep and doesn't want to be on the radio!!
