Worst/Best Radio Ads

This probably belongs in the Trivial things that annoy me thread, but for years, I've always hated it when a company would take out an ad on national radio if they were giving out their phone number they leave out the area code. It's bad enough in earlier times but these days when most of us use mobile phones now you could be standing right outside the building and you need that area code.

Reminds me of the time years and years ago when Four Star Pizza used to run ads on national television.... They ripped off the Ninja Turtles in it too who were massive at the time (and ate pizza!), which made it seem even cooler!!

They had like two outlets at the time tho, and wouldnt deliver to offaly for some reason.

.....just call us we come to you me hole!


Edit: The ad is on YouTube!! They were aliens not ninja turtle rip offs!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiqIF_HEZEo

Just heard an ad for "Elf" at some theatre or other from December 28th. It's late September but I feel it is still too early for the xmas ad's.

Got to laugh at the multiple ads for different hotels for business meetings, as if the meeting is going to be oh-so-much better in our hotel when it's the same management **** droning on.

I want to slap that eejit so bad.

Last day for ads for the plobolob auction in Galway. Thank God.

Why oh why does the boy in the Junior Entrepreneur Programme advert really have to have an annoying South Dublin/D4 accent.?

Why can't he have a Midlands or a Southern accent?

It's usually the middle class kids with connected mammies that get those gigs.

Kinda of like the opposite of the awful "Hey Ciara" answering machine Ad for some car (?) brand with a nasally working class Dub accent - horses for courses.

the most irritating cnut I have heard in years. If I owned a radio station I would refuse their business as you would be losing listeners. Its like its a pisstake meant to be purposely annoying.

I actually mentioned the Phoenix v/o ages ago and someone said it was supposed to be a p*** take on PJ Mara.

It's someone trying to do someone else's version of a parody of CJ which is what makes it utterly bonkers

That flute noise in the background of the Aldi ad is doing my head in. Combined with the TV ads as well. You can just tell that every 'actor' they have in their ads is extremely desperate to be on TV.
