And fear of casting a white Irish person doing the voiceover, for fear of 'the mob' calling you racist.

awful ad for GOMO mobile phones i think , horrible noisey ad music and voiced by a very strange accent on the girl i cant make it out at all, she sounds like she had something in her mouth while trying to speak, like some words are almost forced pigeon english, her accent is almost too strong to pronounce or speak english well, why on earth do they have these people doing radio ads, accent sounds Dutch/S.African english like very heavy and hard to get words out clearly.

Stupid man/nagging wife trope, he (Dermot) is knocking a hole in the wall for his home office. Is that the one?

Yeah, she's trying to stop Dermot before he does any more "Dermage" :rolleyes:

Another one that has me reaching for a gun.

Avantcard - "stupid man" (there's a novelty) doing home DIY.

Harridan wife starts off with a shouty scouse accent "what are you doink?" before lapsing back to Irish accent. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!! :mad:

My dad just turned to me and said "We should have crab meat sometime. Then maybe they'll stop playing that ad".

The way that one little girl pronounces 'circles' makes me irrationally upset. :pac:

My academic background is in linguistics - where we're all supposed to embrace language variety and how it evolves - but I can relate to these feelings.

Just heard the Expert ad...yeah super awesome dude...aargggh

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.

It's even infected podcast ads now. Just fuck off Skoda, you just re-badge last-gen Volkswagens.

I know advertisers are shooting fish in a barrel aiming at people with kids but some of the ads that stem from this are painful and really cringe.

*sleek power woman that more than likely stays late in the office missing dinner talks into phone* “Mmmmmmoooommmm! No screens at the table!!!”.

Chances are the ad voiceovers may not be the same people as the "models" on the brochures.

Oh I know, just for the laughs.
