    Fluence was a particularly bad name.

    Always had a whiff of “effluence” about it, to my (admittedly warped) mind

    Kia Sportage, because nothing says sporty like using 2.5 tons of metal to ascend that 8° incline on the school run.

    Oh, and anything by SsangYong.

    The process of making an Irish radio ad:

    Ad-man 1: I'm struggling for an idea for this ad.

    Ad-man 2: I got it! Let's get two people with nasal South Dublin accents to have a conversation that nobody ever has ever and insert the product in the middle.

    Ad-man 1: Brilliant!

    "And we're going to keep telling ourselves that every day"

    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.

    Also the irony that banks exist and thrive primarily in a strong capitalist society which leads to pollution is lost on their smug heads.

    'Dog Poo Dog Poo...' just to be clear, I abhor the practice of some dog owners who ignore Fido's sh1t and leave it for others to unwittingly pick up on their shoes/ wheels/ whatever.

    But that ad :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,067 ✭✭✭✭fryup


    That Martin Short Steve Martin comedy gig ad,

    if there's ever an ad that would put you off a show its that..

    two flats jokes from two has-been comedians

    they must be short on dough

    “Twenty twenty cash back! Twenty twenty cash back!”

    It was fun when Bord Gáis did it with those cartoon bears but it’s quite irritating hearing this new one on the radio.

    It was "50 50 cash back" with the bears.

    But yes, this one is a poor imitation.
