That ad for the play Cripple of Inish Mann or however it's spelled is making me turn over when it comes on. It's been on forever and it's only starting this Friday The way he says Mammy at the end really bugs me aswell.

With a list of actors who, realistically, 80% of listeners have never heard of?
Plus that miserable piano music doesn't help either.
I'm sure it's a great play, but it's a terrible ad.

Dacia Duster add with his swiping right and doing the dirt on crap

Any of the Ben Dunne adds as previously stated, next one will probably state 'you wont be shot outside a Ben Dunne gym'

The Ciara Kelly promo for her unscripted friday shows is cringy

I find the Dacia one particularly offensive and I'm not remotely prudish. Why does a presumably (?) sexual, laddish slant have to be put on the Ad. Incidentally, whoever thought that calling a car, a duster, was a clever marketing ploy? Next in the range - the Dacia Wheelie Bin. :rolleyes:

I always just think of the Making A Murderer series when I hear it. I never realised it was for a car.

That miserable Hyundai wan is annoying me more than any of the sh*te Laya healthcare ads, which is some achievement

Your woman with the irritating D4 accent is back on Toyota, bleating on about how she feels she is making a real contribution to her childrens future by driving the pampered little darlings to school every day. Jesus wept - did Toyota ever stop and think about how stupid and contradictatory that sounds?

Red Alert · 25-01-2019 1:52pm

The TV license ones about Sci-Fi, current affairs, drama etc. "It's time to use the force"

They're double teaming them on some ad-breaks. I've heard the D4 lady with the lazy kids AND the "de insurance, de car tax, de price of a holiday" guy as separate ads in the same ad break.

I think you might be just a little bit prudish.

Ah, that's the one I was thinking of, incorrectly gave the credit to Hyundai - it's a loathsome campaign!

Priz ofa hal-dah

F*ck me, the Air France one is back. :mad::mad:

And a Renault one with more faux French accents worthy of Allo Allo.
Honestly, two massive French companies that can't find a single French person to voiceover their ads?

The music makes it sound as if it's a play about a mass murder rather than a comedy.

The Toyota hybrid ad with the Bogman talking about his savings "Dats de price of a holiday", unfortunately the country is wash with neanderthals who think and talk like that so the ad will probably work.

depaor01 · 27-01-2019 11:26am

De holiday would be ten times better if he spent 20 grand on it and didn't bother buying de new car...

20 k on a holiday!!, he wouldn't be able to build his tasteless bungalow if he did that or there mightn't be an Irish bar to go to and 'Shure isn't dat all you'd be wanting"

The auld “shure we arrived in Lanzarote and we set up camp in The Four Green Fields” attitude.

Spanish lad in charge gave us free dhrink and grub for the whole of the last day.

(Why wouldn’t he,scrotes dhrank as much in a week as Spanish customers would drink in 9 months)

I know the type.

I said a fair few pages back that I ABSOLUTELY hate that Dacia ad. I don’t find it offensive, just mind blowingly cringeworthy and the voice over sounds like a dirty aul fella in an anorak getting excited.

Not sure who they are aiming it at either, anyone I’ve seen in those Duster yokes are grey haired retired folk.

Lad was ‘getting string’ no mistake there.

Saw a mare in a Duster outside the Golf Club a few days ago and I’d give her a belt of the Big Dog, for sure.

Just sayin’:cool:

So he's a neanderthal because his accent doesn't appeal to you is it? You don't live inside the Pale by any chance?

nothing to do with the accent, it's the mentality associated with this stereotype represented by that accent which is nauseating ,the same could be said for the mentality associated with the D4 accent ,but I guess that nuance is lost on you .

And what accent do you have by the way? Semi-Americanised I'll bet because you're just so modern.

I've no chip at all, just trying to fathom out how a persons accent would make them a neanderthal.

A small number of self-hating Irish people (the ones who took on the affectations of the British in centuries past) despise anything that makes us unique as a culture. They probably hate 'diddly-ay' music 'bogball' and anything else that is unique to this land.

Football and folk music aren't unique to Ireland.
Try again.

Our cleaner drives a Dacia Duster. I find it quite amusing. I mentioned it to her one time as I thought maybe she bought one on purpose and she had never realized this before. And she is absolutely rubbish as dusting. :pac::D:pac::D:pac:

How many kids does Clare Daly have, jesus everytime I hear the Toyota hybrid add with the woman and the three kids I think it's her

Bon Secours clinical services for bowels related sicknesses advert this morning. A riposte to the Blackrock Clinic advert some months back for pathologies in the same part of the body?
