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.

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!

The kid even says "SmyFs" instead of Smyths....GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!! Does my head in and I'm reminded everytime I even think about buying my daughter anything, to not get it from them!

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.

I call them house party versions of the songs - when some prick picks up a guitar at 3am and closes his eyes to act all "artistic" while murdering them.

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.!

The Covid ad with the guy who says dose and de

ButtersSuki

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.

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.

nought nought, nought nought!

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.
