Just heard it again and it is "whether it's your first born..." followed by your big day.. Pedantic on my part but to me it smacks of the pc agenda at work.

Is it still the 1980's in your neck of the woods?

Oh here's Barry's tea ad.

(has it been on already?)

The Barry's tea ad - one of those "black and white" ads. That is you either like it or don't. I've always disliked it, but I can understand the appeal to others.

On a more positive note - none of the bothar goat this year? Have bothar finally dropped the little sh*t for good? Perhaps working form home, i'm not listening to as much commuter radio as before. Can anyone else confirm if they have heard the ad yet?

AIB have long been known for tone deaf advertising. A few years ago they had the oul lad and his yank missus finishing their mortgage in the height of the negative equity crisis.

Or the single mother in her 50s finishing the payments on the 3 bed semi in what looked like a Castleknock level area. A single mother in 2020 wouldn't be given a mortgage to buy in Darndale these days.

I shall listen more intently next time and report back.

Now I wouldn't be a"yellow vest" a Shinner, AntiFee or have any strong anti establishment views. But I'm getting really tired of every second advert on the radio ending with the phrase "government of Ireland". Just identify your department and leave us to deduce that you are associated with the government.

Have we finally arrived at Ground Zero? Audi's current Ad featuring special occasions starts with - whether it's the arrival of your first born (cue crying baby); with next up your big day (wedding bells etc.) and I forget the rest but it's an interesting message they are putting out i.e. cart before horse. The great majority of births in Ireland are still to married couples according to the CSO.

No Dublin Crystal or whatever your company's name is, I won't give my friends a piece of Dublin. You can stick your diddly-eye jingle where the Sun doesn't shine...and no, I don't mean the tenements and two-up-two-downs which still have a bang of tuberculosis off them.

This "An Pust" woman is starting to do my bloody head in. Why can't she pronounce the name of the company she's advertising?!

On the other hand, the Barry's Tea Toy Train ad is back once again and I still love it.

The Ad is so badly worded and full of assumptions - you have to be a married man (with children) if you use prostitutes and who do you explain your conviction to if you've no wife and children? If most men don't use prostitutes why is it such a booming business? Why does it also assume that females don't use prostitutes?

It's like something from Dev's Ireland. Such a strange ad in the 21st century.

SpitfireIV

Aaaah I get it now!! That couple in the safe food advert conversing in a lively and humourous manner at the play ground are actually chat bots!!

I mean they have to be, right?!

They're so droll and dull for what is portrayed as a supposed light hearted chat. Ugh, really, who gets paid for this stuff?!!

Yer one on the Dunnes Stores adverts, what frequency is she working off of?! I wear radio earmuffs in the workshop, she'd blow the head off you!!

When she says "Make Chirstmas..." I keep thinking she's going to follow it with "great again". Would have been a much better idea and the outrage would have generated so much publicity.

You just know many other train companies have thought of this idea already and then re-considered after realising how terrible it is.

The fantasy lights ad is back on. I suspect the makers know how annoying this is though since it's been rolled out for the last 10 years

Two annoyances. 1 Virgin Media talking about irrelevant speed records. And 2 an alarm company rehashing an old phone watch trope about the criminal being annoyed about being caught by the system. "I'm here all year"

And of the course the alarm company criminal has a north Dub accent

Got to love Newstalk - just run three Ads back to back - sexism at work; sexual violence and the appalling GAA Ad about getting "the shift" - irony does doesn't come near to describing the output of the station or those coming up with the Ads. :rolleyes:

We assume it was a consensual shift.

Jesus, there's ANOTHER Butler's advert, think they're trying a cringy blend of the Barry's Tea advert and the recent SuperValu offering.

Spoiler: Granny doesn't die at the end!
