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.

Maybe back in the 80s when the Irish mega gameshow was within living memory.

When discussing a mortgage do you?
a. Find a quiet room to ring from
b. Ring while practicing yoga positions in your living room
c. Ring while playing table tennis with your kid

What genius thinks these ads up??

Also the ongoing trend of using slowed up versions of classic songs, Message in a bottle the latest.

Particularly annoying Ads - the female one just shouts dopey blonde - can I still say that?


The male one, since the first time I heard it, screams alpha male who even has to beat his one, probably accidental, 'dependant', judging by his age and her probable age. I maybe being harsh but I suspect he gave his partner a serious telling off/slapping for forgetting to take the pill on the occasion of the conception and thereby endangering his climb up the corporate ladder. Can't remember what the Ad is for.

You can but someone will give out to you

Some health (?) product called Avoca Aquino Force....or at least that's what I hear. Why do companies persist with long winded nonsense scientific names for their offerings? Keep it simple if you want it to catch on to anybody outside of the half dozen people who go into health shops.

The noughty elephant man is back out of storage, again!

It's a funny old Ad and I even feel sorry for poor old Rory as he explains that it's like a hotel for your goods and even politicians and radio stations avail of the service. Has his daughter (?) been dropped? She could never make up her mind whether she was advertising Elephant Self Storage or Elephant Storage.

I notice that whenever Donegal is mentioned in the Covid ads, they get a wee girl with a Donegal lilt to do the voiceover for the Donegal bit.
