Ad for music industry ireland Covid 19...any time I hear the start of the ad... I think its the current Heineken Covid 19 ad or an ad for an upcoming Simple Minds concert.

Maybe a different track could have been used?

What is the point of this ad? Is it give money to starving musicians or what?

Oh god, this one. He says it so many times as well.

In other news, I quite like the return of the Supermac's jingle.

It does have that nostalgic 80s feel!

If only ‘Homestead‘ would follow suit, even the version as gaelige was class.

And hats off to Pat McD for getting uillean pipes into a radio ad

Another Ad that beats me is a rare one, exclusively in Irish, on RTE in which the only recognisable word - to me - is Brexit which appears once near the end. What's that about?

Did Supermacs staff still have to pay for their own uniforms back then too?

Is that craig doyle in the male/female dublin accents, Covid ads?

paddylonglegs

Tuirleach and the peddle bin on his head? What is going on? Why is that ad not just clear and concise? boggles the mind - its not funny

ford fiesta

Covid ad:
Dublin accent:
"In the miiiaaaan time"

Home Instead Senior Care - the most stomach churningly patronising and cynical ads on radio.

"Home Instead Senior Care to us it's personal"...yeah personal profit.

Zak Flaps

I hate that quote devil insurance ad. It's the f*cking jingle i hate. The voices mainly.
I don't even know what they're singing.

That Bank of Ireland Mortgages ad is back..................."we'll meet you in a coffee shop or that little slice of Ireland you call home".....but that's the whole point of the meeting - if I need a mortgage its because I don't have a home!!!

Apparently Bank of Ireland will apparently meet you "Annie where, Annie time" ???? Who's she?

Del.Monte

And you can just imagine ringing up the bank - assuming the branch has somebody to answer the phone and that you're not put through to a call centre - and suggesting that they send somebody down to O'Reilly's bar to discuss a mortgage with you. :rolleyes:

There's another homemade, steam powered, Ad running at the moment for de facto shaving oil https://www.defactoshave.com/ The Ad is very worthy - the product name off the wall and then the poor fool (owner?) spells out de facto in case the great unwashed can't understand such a catchy name.

The banker would probably order the priciest thing in the bar and make you pay for it, to top up their new fees policy

The saccharine sweetness and repeated use of Bank of ARR-land grates.

Doesn't make any sense unless a BOI manager will come out to meet you in your parents' house or some small time landlord's mouldy shoebox.

The idiot in his “crevasse” trying to find his Tax accountant as his Tax returns are due. FFS...what an eejit !
(What advertising company creates these stupid ads? They’re not funny or smart...its a tired formula)

Aglomerado

The red cow hotel and their 'you can social distance comfortably' line.

lolie

The one for the OTB sport app is really grating on me now.
I like Kevin kilbane but there's only some many times i can hear him say he's gonna slap Cesc Fabregras.
Also the Now tv ads with Robert Webb as the tv are really annoying.

StaticNoise

EZ Living furniture are using an audio track that is very similar to the old Sean O'Rourke theme/'Black Magic' by Little Mix.
Not to mention the overused stock audio of children laughing.

NO.

Smyths UK copy ads.

Most UK companies wouldn't use such a dissonant clanging UK VO in Ireland; but an Irish firm seems to think its fine!

Hate those KFC ads with the Dublin girl. Is "stop the lights" a thing people say in Dublin? I've never heard it in my life.
