Seems to be a few ads using Alexa style content.
Do they have to change the name for copyright reasons?
I also have massive hatred of that ad!!

Hey, Alexia.

What now.

There are complaints about you on the internet.

I’m not surprised. People are always complaining about something.

They say your name should be Alexa. Whoever christened you made a mistake.

It’s an advertising ploy to gain their attention. And it seems to have worked.

OK, I will let them know, but these people are too clever to be taken in.

Whatever. I could care less.

Yes, indeed personal pet hate is "Magic Speaker" as hereby Vodafone.

I do think though the reason they do not say Alexa or Siri or OK Google is to avoid devices in earshot reacting to the broadcast ad each time it plays.

ad for The Vaults tourist attraction with middle class actors trying to do 'All dub'/ working class accents .... sad .

Very unusual ad from RTE, with some talking heads speaking about the drugs problem in Ireland, then followed up by the RTE narrative that "RTE will always tell you the truth". I mean they didn't even know (apparently) that Gerry Ryan was on drugs was leading an anti drug campaign for their organisation, how likely it is that they are the correct people to investigate the drug issue outside of their own premises.

Sorry about that · 19-06-2019 07:27AM

Just heard the Skoda ad with the 2 women looking for the vegan restaurant "Cut the Cheese". Love it!

It's dire and the edgy humour makes me want to throw the radio out the window.

Mr E · 19-06-2019 08:06AM

Ah that ad's quite funny in fairness. I love the passenger's reactions.

That goddam Hyundai ad. PLEASE MAKE IT STOP! PLEEEEASE!!!!

NIMAN · 20-06-2019 07:09AM

What about the Heinz mayo adverts on RTE 2FM?

Jez, that girl doing the voiceover is enthusiastic about mayo.

Anyone know who she is? She does a few adverts, her voice is terrible.

SirChenjin · 20-06-2019 04:21PM

The ad for bonkers.ie. Two women talking, the first says she is off on holidays, the other replies with 'how can you afford that, aren't you just back from...'<I forget where.>

Can't imagine anyone asking that question in response to a comment about going on holidays.

Yeah, absolutely terrible voice, seems to be doing a lot of voiceovers on 2FM.

Yeah what is the deal with that? Why does someone deem it acceptable that it’s a good voiceover? It’s just really annoying and an abnormal way of talking

Not as bad as the whiny skanger voice "Hey Ciara" on the answering machine - never leave it on long enough to hear what it''s for! I would have heard it in its entirety when if first appeared a while ago but have long since forgotten the product being advertised - who on earth signs off on such rubbish?

whisky_galore · 21-06-2019 06:54AM

That new McDonalds ad with a pair hamming it up as a couple of American hayseeds, with the guy breaking character at the end with his own accent - "oill buy de tickets".

Probably already mentioned already but what the hell is with Deirdre O'Kanes voice on the appliances delivered advert, she is either pretending to sound drunk or is drunk.

She talks through her teeth.

I noticed it years ago in an interview with her and I can't listen to her since.

newbie11 · 22-06-2019 10:41AM

The add for the app called go loud on today fm and Newstalk, someone in the background repeatedly shouting "go loud" over and over again

She gets an awful hard time of it, but I agree her voice is very hard to listen to for a long period of time. I can't understand people who pay real money to sit through her gigs for a whole hour, but fair play to her, people do.

I saw an article a month or so ago, where she said that her career suffered because she became a stay-at-home Mum. Personally I think her career has suffered because she isn't funny.

I think her career suffered because she became a stay at home mum, and then tried to do a routine about it, which I unfortunately saw first hand.

It can be funny -- Tommy Tiernan does some great standup about growing older and being a parent.

But nobody wants to hear about someone else's Oisin or Muireann. Not when they're paying a babysitter to get a night away from the kids.

I think you may have hit the bullseye.

The Renault ad where ya man keeps interrupting saying "Zero"..
Shut the F##k up, annoying ****e..

Del.Monte · 25-06-2019 06:56AM

The new Synergy Ad for I don't what product but it's supposed to sound like a broken record - how imaginative is that. :rolleyes:

Pineapple1 · 25-06-2019 10:31PM

The ad for food shopping thats voiced by Mario Rosenstock on today fm. When he's speaking in his own voice, he sounds like he's even taking off his own voice (but obvs isnt). Maybe Im just so used to hearing him in his Miriam voice?! Just can't listen to his sunday roast programme for that reason.

the hedgeman · 27-06-2019 05:07PM

They changed the wording in the Specsavers radio ad where the assistant saying to the man that they was no charge for eye test and glasses (prsi) and was free, but your man not believing it and offering her his watch,hat,and his underpants!! as payment.you'd enjoy listening to it but now he's offering her his watch,hat,and his favourite rugby shirt,its boring now,pc gone mad again!!!

Mr E · 27-06-2019 06:00PM

Centerparks: Brilliant-y-ist.

Chicken George · 27-06-2019 06:51PM

Appliances delivered...(Im yours).
Yer one that used to be a so called "comedian" years ago Deirdre O'kane. Fu*king irritating me everytime I hear it... MaHOOsive!

Edit: Just seen this ad mentioned a few pages back. Im gonna leave it just because it deserves another mention.
