Worst/Best Radio Ads

Do you listen to the radio much? The guys mentioned above do an excessive amount of ad work. On tv too.



Alway feel we’re left hanging when she asks him if he wants a “cup of tea”, just waiting for a sleazy saxophone to blast out.

Also, do you find that Jimmy doesn’t sound like your average delivery driver? Do “Wiltshire Farm Foods” pay their delivery drivers well? Or maybe Jimmy was done for something, most likely “white collar”, and is getting back on his feet?

Jimmy is the modern day equivalent of Benny Hill (Ernie) or Pat Mustard and he's definitely delivering more than dinners to Ireland's pensioners.

Not on name terms with any of them, don't care enough to look them up to find out.

I’m guessing you don’t watch much tv if you know neither Bernard O’Shea nor Kevin McGahern. Kirwan I can understand as he’s more “famous” for his voice over, poetry and theatre work.

Do you never recognise the same voice doing ads for Lidl and McDonalds or Dacia and 3 Mobile? Among other things, as well.

Do you mind me asking how old you are? I can understand an elderly person not watching tv or paying attention to “details” but I find it very strange when somebody under, say, 50 doesn’t watch tv.

Is it computer games you’re into?

Newstalk 106

Poor Jimmy from Wiltshire Farm Foods who was delivering frozen dinners to dear aul' Mary, ("AHHHH Jimmy your a star" "have you time for a cuppa" who comes up with this crap???)
He must have lost that delivery job and going under a different name as i heard him talking on another ad (also on Newstalk) about being in Mortgage arrears and that he should go and talk to Abhaile,

That will teach ya jimmy for not having that cuppa with Mary!!

What's the story with the latest Specsavers ad? Something about a kid going to the doctor with his hands stuck to his face.
I can't see the reasoning behind it at all.

You can polish a turd all you like, but it's still a turd.

Even with a spray of glitter?

Ad on Radio about pester power and being such a big hero when your children want sweets and all the soul searching you have when you have to say no.

One actually says, oh you can have cheese and crackers (which is probably as bad as sweets)

Easy knowing i've no kids as Id just say, what part of NO do you just not understand?

Yeah you would need to have kids to understand the ad. It’s aimed at parents

There can only be one sponsor for the upcoming Lionel Richie show...

I sincerely hope those Beer munch ads don't pop up on radio.

I agree....it’s absolutely dreadful. What absolute rubbish.

Can you imagine the smug shít that came up with the new AIB ad, 'Yeah, the snowflakes will suck this right up". And the management of a many Billions of euro company thought, 'yeah cracking idea, lets go with it - that wont make our potential customers wish for their brains to bleed out through their ears.'

The thing is, the actual idea behind the environmental mortgage is a good thing. Incredibly annoying ad.

Tossers.

The Kia E-Sole?
What eejit thought that was a good name?

Better than the name of the Volkswagen electric version of the Up.
Quite popular up the north of England mind.
