Poor Eamonn gets fired for using too much electricity at work. Hopefully the brains behind that terrible Energia ad all got fired.

Strangely, I thought this was one of the more amusing Ads of recent times - not that there's much competition. However, it sends out a confusing message as it is well known that turning off lights, computers etc. saves energy and shouldn't be ignored. Don't Energia have a similar Ad about an executive who spends his time switching off lights instead of 'growing' his business.

That lad who gets all excited about playing about in his Suzuki Vitara is in for a rude awakening this week as Aunt Viv is going to be coming over to stay

generalgerry · 20-02-2020 12:28pm

That Castleknock ad, with the guy who sounds like Mo from the Simpsons, must be the greatest load of waffle I have ever heard.

Patrick2010 · 20-02-2020 4:03pm

That pompous a*sehole auctioneer from Galway is back. And what about that feelgood taxi ad..."you know, you should really mind your own business"

plodder · 21-02-2020 11:15am

I wasn't really listening, but I'm nearly sure I heard an ad for a funeral undertaker, and their slogan at the end was "we know whose funeral it is"

I'm glad to hear that :eek:

Just be glad the slogan isn't, "We're coming for you."

Bank of AR land.

dogmatix · 25-02-2020 2:52pm

I’m surprised nobody has mentioned the current financial ad’s yet – first there is the one for BDO. I swear on first listening to it they were congratulating themselves on how the BO in BDO typifies what they are and such. Kind of made sense that. Second time around I heard correctly – it was DO. But I can’t help hearing “BO” every time.

And the price-waterhouse ad – filled with every jaded and clichéd business jargon word from the 1990’s to impress the general public.

Del.Monte · 25-02-2020 6:30pm

Dacia Duster Ad with a johnny-come-lately Celtic Tiger ****er with a DORT accent making a quip about 'guess who won't be going to Wexford this year' ho, ho, ho - hope he holidays in China or Teneriffe instead.

Honestly, I'm not a violent person but was someone would have to physically stop me from bashing that guy's head in. That annoying, smug voice. They were trying to irritate us with that AD and it worked....not sure what they're trying to pull. The previous AD was even more annoying and really seedy.

Makes me want to punch somebody. Preferably the owner of Harvey Norman.

The Lidl voiceover which sounds like a washed up Irish comedian.

I thought they couldn’t find another occcasion for a sale, but they actually had a February 29th leap year sale! Desperation.

If they were giving stuff away for free I wouldn't go near them.

chalkitdown1 · 05-03-2020 2:05pm

The ad with the 2 lads waying "what" and they end up being rabbits. What a dumb ad. I can't even remember what it's for.

Murdoc90 · 05-03-2020 2:21pm

I wish Cooney, Mooney and Rooney would f*ck off

The Mighty Quinn · 05-03-2020 2:31pm

"we do it in the bedroom, we do it in the toilet...", the audio quality is weird on her voice. I can't decide if she's got marbles on her mouth or recorded her part over the phone, awful!

The whole Ad is dire and is an example of lavatorial school boy humour.

The new anti prostitution one.

I thought I was listening to an ad from 1950s Ireland.

Yeah this bugs me as well. It's the sneering, mocking tone. And the assumption that all men who use prostitutes are sneaky married men, cheating on their wives. When I'd say a large amount of their clientele are just single guys that can't get a woman.

paddylonglegs · 06-03-2020 4:06pm

I may have considered going to Ricky Gervais, not sure after that ad. Iv seen him a couple of times but never thought he was pushing the arrogant comedian style.

Of course they'll ALL be married men and have poor little kiddies who'll have to be told why Daddy was bold and is going away for a while.

Supposedly it's a Ruhama vehicle, those lovely people once involved with the Laundries.
Stones, glass houses.

Fairly odd timing when it comes on, well before the watershed.

You can certainly tell a lot of their opinion of men from the advert. They would never get away with such blanket assertions against any other demographic.

I just checked that on Audible yesterday. They have some other guy voicing it, but I might get it just to listen to it in the car.

“ we are the Reillys and we’re all living the life of Aldi “, the whole retard family shouting it out together in a droll mid lands accents , it’s like a caricature of the Irish by the Germans .... problem is the country is full of these types .

He's insistent you can't stay in the rooms. Not sure if he's trying to be funny or someone actually attempted to live in one.

Bounce definitely gone from his bungee.

SpitfireIV · 18-03-2020 1:42pm

Just this morning there was an advert on Radio 1 for Irish Ferries and visiting France this Spring....really?

Followed by that ad for god knows what, but you know the one where the boss brings in the employee and says 'listen, we're going to have to let you go' for leaving some lights on or some such nonesense, found it a bit insensitive giving how many people have in recent days been sat down and told they're being let go.

What in the name of good god are those pair talking about? Its VHI or something, but it reallly makes no sense. I know they want to be genuine by using real people, but I get more confused the more I listen to it...

100% on this - it’s total drivel. Incredible it would then get Made into an ad

whisky_galore · 21-03-2020 9:51am

Ads that raid the BBC sound effects archive, fecking cars starting, wedding bells..

There's one sound effect salad one with a random angry barking dog stuck in the middle for no reason.

The ads seem to have dried up completely on radio 1 today... breaks are just promos for other shows

chosen1 · 27-03-2020 4:21pm

The one now for Free Now Business annoys me every time, simply because he says 'the ride here was good'

I've never, ever heard anyone in this country use 'the ride' in this context that wasn't American.
