That AIG ad is very similar to an equally annoying ad from 2 years ago where some untalented voice actor is a whoppin' and a hollerin' because his business had secured some sort of advantage over his competitors in the foreign export market. Cannot remember the product being advertised nor do I care.

There was also an identical one about being free from a mobile phone contract I think.

But even all of that nonsense is better than Oro se do bheatha bhaile being synth mudered and then claimed to be the reimagining of a classic.

I get the shoddy and paper thin premise of the ad, but if you want to say you've improved your car model, don't use a comparison in which the new version is in every single possible way worse than the original.

That fckuing twit on the AIG ad ....”yee haw and yippee” cos he got a tenner off the cost of his insurance. FFS ! It’s a total head wreck! Who does that ?? Nobody laughs at those kind of stupid ads. (It’s like the O Meara camping ad when another trembling idiot can’t find the poles )

It’s such a tired overdone style of ad , on the go for about 15 years , there have been so many others like this, it’s done to death , not funny .
Someone in that marketing company needs to retire !

The only thing to be said in favour of the O'Meara Camping ad is that they clearly get the brand name out there and like it or hate it you won't wonder what the ad was for + there's no daft music!

Is it not yer wan from The Young Offenders doing the voice?

endofrainbow

The new ad for Batchelors spaghetti hoops where the kids discuss the difference.

Too many hours sitting in front of American cartoons and no elocution lessons.

Not even remotely cute which I think is the angle they were looking for..

yea and the other rest of ireland voice is generic dublin accent

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.

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 mistakenly posted this in the tv forum a few weeks ago, when it fact it belonged here:

I heard Darina Allen advertising Eir Broadband today. Considering that family’s history with the internet and computers I really would like to understand how anyone thought this was a good idea.

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.

Nail on head! I can just see him grey, balding mid 40s , table tennis puts him out of poof. child sounds horrible too, narrssisstic, passive aggression, poor social skills all round in that family i would think. wife living a lonely life, gone some evening he comes home. Julia Roberts in sleeping with the enemy type.!
