I'm noticing lots of charity ads as well for various diseases, water, tigers, pandas & donkeys. If I donated to all of them myself and the family would be featuring on one of the ads before long.

Those ads are often punctuated for ads for pay day loans.

I sometimes wonder if the reason the person needs the payday loan is because they've donated to sponsor a tiger, a gorilla, a dolphin and poor Kamal over in Africa who has to walk 8 miles a day to get water.

One of my colleagues was putting her child to bed one night and the child asked her if she thought she had been mis-sold PPI(Payment protection Insurance).

Virgin Media's radio ad about being fast. Voiced I believe by Brian Cox. Some piano player who can play really fast. Commonly heard on NewsTalk.

I cringe every time it comes on.

Christ yes. Why is speed admirable in playing a piano?

The Lidl ad where the mother says in a monotone “we are looking forward to them going back to school and we’re not bad parents for saying that” Christ almighty she’s such a horrendous actress in every one of those ads.

That dreadful Ladbrokes ad with the idiots pretending to be big horse racing fans :rolleyes:

That bloody Vodafone ad with the dancing kid.

Fupp off like!

Acosta · 03-09-2020 10:35pm

It would be funny if there was a monster under the bed and it ate the child.

The mother with the D4 accent browsing fish recipes but its meant to look like shes browsing tinder.

The dialogue is so clunky, and at times syntactically incorrect.

I could write better dialogue. It would still be a lousy ad, but it would be a lousy ad with professional execution.

Another song massacred by Volvo.

What if there was a priest in a cassock, minding his own business under the bed, would that have worked I wonder??

Every time I listen to radio online it plays. :mad:

Really sick of that "poetry in Dublin accent" thing Emmet Kirwan popularised.

"go for a gander, a meander"

"Go for a propaganda, a meander." I block out the rest of the ad 'cos I just can't unhear that bit �� [hear-no-evil monkey, 'cos boards can't process edits with emoji]

Three and Deliveroo ads and any ads like them, which is basically people acting like twats on their phones with horrible noisy background music.

oneweb · 04-09-2020 4:49pm

UK radio - "JUUUUST ONNNNE CORNEEEETTO, GIVE IT TO MEEE. THE PHONE, I MEAN". No, ye dumb twat, you specifically asked for one Cornetto. Anyway that was more than 20 years ago, when it actually worked. Obviously resurrected by some young wans in marketing who've never heard the original.

Oh, then the mother joins in, to the dumb twat's forced laugh.

Rat House Garden Centre's another radio one. With a rip of Ugly Betty opening credits music which did my head in 'till I figured it out.

When that deliveroo driver was tragically killed a few days ago, folks were quick to mention how Deliveroo is rather douchey to their employees.

The AIB ad. It takes a certain kind of brave :mad:
Workers dashing around the place all jutting jaws and full of piss and vinegar, you would swear it was shot in America rather than Ireland.

AIB acting like thay are the benevolent saviour of Irish business when they have lumbered us with a massive debt, the interest alone economists now say we will never be able to pay off. It is going to grow and grow and bleed our little nation dry forever

Thanks a bunch AIB...NOT!

Dreadful ads. They used to have one with an awful annoying voiceover. 'We're backing brave' ... wtf, that does not even make sense.

I'm going to laugh though now when I see their ads, because your description is excellent

That Liberty insurance ad seems to on non stop. The ad is a poor enough effort but there's one individual in it who I want to harm everytime I see his mug. "I know a plumber but his name's leaky". That lad, that type of character, who thinks he's great craic, a self proclaimed archbishop of Banterbury. The sort of lad who goes into the local pub and there is a collective sigh " not that feckin dose".

And the father trying to be “down with the kids “ self-recording himself and the teenage daughter (and the poor daughter cringing along with the rest of us):eek:

That stupid spilt milk on the page ad . I just realised today that I knew it off by heart but had no clue what it was actually advertising

It's an annoying ad. I tune it out, but it's on every ad break.

The young one is old enough to know better than to grab a page that I presume is to do with a mortgage application, to mop up the milk or whatever gets spilt on the table.

Get a cloth or a piece of kitchen towel. :rolleyes:
And the parents smiling indulgently at her.
