The woman is a professional irritant. People might say "oh but she has to earn a few quid", but she knows when she is voicing that ad that she is deliberately doing it to annoy people and get attention for the product. Like I read on here before, the only place that anybody should hear Deirdre O'Kane's voice doing the announcements is in a Prisoner Of War camp.

I don’t get that ad. It starts off serious, then quickly it goes into full “Deirdre OKane” mode. The nasally stupid “ one hundred and ninety nine, ninety nine “ ****e over and over, then it ends serious again. Are we meant to find this funny ? It’s dreadful , literally cannot stand her ....or her voice. :mad:

Anyone who says yo yos for euros should be kneecapped, that gimp Paul Williams was particularly bad for it.

The Energlaze Ads where two dickheads have a surreal conversation about the benefits of some type of replacement windows - and there's even a 'witty' reprise at the end about points made rather than point. God help us but this stuff is such drivel and wouldn't in anyway encourage one to buy the products.

Every ad about buying a new van for work seems to feature a gormless BJH Dub and his exasperated boss.

Maria Doyle-Kennedy (at least I think it's her ) wasted in a car insurance ad.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 29-04-2019 01:51PM

Who keeps paying Diedre O Kane for voice overs.

NAYNTE NAYNE NAYNTE NAYNE.

Absolutely brutal ad.

L1011 · 30-04-2019 07:26AM

One of the ads jokes about it being a contra deal for a new cooker, fridge and washing machine. I wouldn't be surprised if it was!

“Patrona Flexi-Van..forget one plan, one van...no more chains on me!”
What does that even mean?

The Roadstone Retail Ad with the repeated bell ringing - moronic.

Del.Monte · 03-05-2019 08:19AM

And prize for the most tasteless Ad goes to the Irish Indo for their "The Love Trail Verdict" promo with suitably melodramatic background music. Quite appalling even by the standards of the chip wrapper's gutter journalism.

This one is starting to annoy me, now. They play a version of it twice per ad break as well. Hate that shít.

Appliances Delivered "installation by professionals"

So not the van drivers then? Because they're van drivers. Not electronic engineers.

Admittedly, she didn't say qualified professionals - as they are presumably professional van drivers!

Yeah; "professionals" who manage to hook all the power-hungry appliances into the one 4-way extension socket and kick it out of sight under the cupboard.
Seen it more than once.
The only professional who wears a stetson and is entitled to it is a genuine cowboy. These dangerous bstards are just rogues, chancers and vagabonds.

That advert for seeing your dad's towel drop in the changing room is slightly creepy.

Radio advertising will never be the same again, for me.
Well done, that agency idiot that thought of that one.

I think that ad is just disgusting. Played during the day when kids might be listening in their parents car. Is think this tells how devoid of originality the marketing people are rather than the "power of the radio as an advertising medium". The ad should be pulled.

Brendan Bendar · 06-05-2019 04:10PM

It’s the Father in Law not the Dad.

Surprised that they didn’t mention that he had a dose of ‘wineglow’ around the cluster.

Disgusting ad.

I think this will be gone fairly quickly ,the other day in the ad break on lyric fm it was the only ad between pieces from Mozarts requiem and another serene piece , even the presenter was mortified .It's feckin' gross , I don't want to hear about some all fella's sweaty crack and sack every 5 minutes .
