I came to this thread to post about that exact ad. It drives me INSANE!

Its too long by about 5 minutes.

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

Del.Monte

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:

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:

I nearly crashed the car the first time I heard the singing & dancing ad for TJ O'Mahony. Some fella singing off key. Christ :mad:

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.

Its called diversity.

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

That is one shıt ad. Someone was actually paid to come up with that.

Del.Monte

National Lottery Ad. - just heard it again "you're in a kayak in the Midlands, how did you get talked into this, you would prefer not to venture west of Lucan, gondolier etc.etc. Accent all over the place and she sounds like she is so unfit that she has more chance of expiring than winning the lottery. Yet another knocking of stay at home holidaying. :rolleyes:

Deirdre O'Kane, but in a normal-ish speaking voice. i.e. not the exaggerated squawking of the Appliances Delivered ad.

thejuggler

For the day that’s in it a few Halloween related adverts from yesteryear.
Equip your witch at News at 10 Galway. Used to hear it a lot in 2fm in the 90s. I think Andy Ruane did the VO.
Also Spooky Specials from Xtravision. Jonathan Ryan in his best scary voice.

Happy Halloween!

The guy thinking he is a local hero, doing the Electric Ireland GAA Minor Championships:

"T-H-I-S

M-A-J-O-R"

F**k off back to your Mammy.

I CANNOT stand Deirdre O'Kane's voice.
And the latest govt covid ad does my head in - that flat accent ala Saoirse Ronan - makes my ears bleed.

[Deleted User]

Everytime I turn over to Newstalk that Virgin media ad about making sausages is on.

Now, I love sausages and I love high speed broadband, but for some reason I HATE this ad.

doublejobbing 2

A new one for Virgin Broaband interviewing some yank pianist.

I swear it goes on at least 3 minutes. Will be straight switch over next time.

New Covid public announcement ad on this week

Could be someone from Waterford doing the voiceover. After all, if you order a burger here in a pub or restaurant, it will usually be offered with chips and "SALIT"

I've a bigger problem with the condescending tone in one of the newer ads. Excerise is beneficial, "even a brief walk is good". Thanks for that.

**** off AIG will ya

the ad for radio advertising and the great bake off tosser

dogmatix

Those GAA ads are irritating - not hugely so but a little irritating. I don't like the patronising slogan at the end "GAA - where we all belong". It sounds a slogan for a cult or a far left/right political party. I have no interest in the GAA, never had and never will.

We ate plain food BUT GOOD FOOD.

(But now happy to eat frozen processed food)

It does sound like an Irish Hitlerjugend.

I like the GAA and that slogan bugs me. I'll decide where I belong, thank you very much!

Yeah that VM ad is just starting to take the piss, with every iteration it seems to get longer and more convoluted.

Del.Monte

The infantile one with Sonia O'Sullivan and the GAA head about mental health where one says a sentence followed by the other and repeat ad nauseum - gives me mental health problems just listening to it. :mad:

whisky_galore

Less of an ad, more a running theme every Fri 13th. The tired old "are you superstitious" vox pop or phone in. Walking under ladders, yadda yadda...
