I have had about enough of that Redheaded prune who goes up to the attic and blows on a book about Shaw. Right now I can't even remember what the ad is for, so it hasn't worked anyway.

What bothers me is it's clearly dinner time and she's still got her staff in a meeting. While her 8 year old serves up dinner poor Tom is thinking "Great, now I can start cooking my own dinner".

If she was my boss, I'd be spending my days on indeed.com.

Against some tough competition Vodafone have had the creepiest ads of the past year. The latest one has the line "we are more connected then ever before" which is an unbelievable thing to say in the circumstances. Then there was "the way we are connecting is changing" last year.

Which is ironic because anytime I try to contact vodafone it's a complete nightmare. They even removed their "Talk to" forum from Boards. Also their website and app have turned to complete sh1te.

Saw that last night. Took an immediate dislike to it.

Has anyone mentioned the dominos ad yet? Himalayan Herring. I mute that ad anytime it comes on.

AIB: "Our range of blahblahblah solutions are tailored for your needs"

English grammar 101: a singular noun (range) takes a singular verb form (is tailored).

How the hell do advertising professionals not catch this? Shoddy!

Is solutions not the noun in question here? It doesn't sound right to say "Our range of XXX solutions is tailored for your needs"

How on earth can the admen claim curry and chips as "an Irish national treasure"?

First had it in the UK in about 1975.

PieOhMy · 23-02-2021 7:06pm

Annoying ads would frequently turn me off a product but I can always distinguish between the product and the person but sky and Idris Elba have led me to now really despise the man on a personal level.
Before I'd have been capable of thinking that it's the product that creates the ad and the people in it are just earning a few sheckles for themselves, they just say the annoying lines that are written for them. I'd do it too. That's fine.

But a line has been crossed now. Starting with 'on the days over christmas I like to watch movieeess' to this latest suite in February it's just too much. Its over the line and as far as I'm concerned Elba is part and parcel of it now. Dont @ me.
Also who would be swayed by movie channels anymore. Its not 2003. We have Netflix and broadband now. Movie channels my hole.
I've started muting the television when the ads come on and its only when there is silence do I realise how bombarded I am with noise and ads. Would recommend anyone to give it a try.

I've just seen this new ad for coca-cola. Whenever someone takes a sip, they start uncontrollably dancing like a fücking idiot. I also hate the music.

I recall being in a bar in Dublin watching a big soccer game, the pub was jam packed, at half time everyone started chatting as the ads started up. This ad came on and no exaggeration....the pub went totally silent as everyone just watched in amazement. A proper ad.

Sorry for going against the topic.

We'll never see the likes again. It's quantity not quality now

Codology like raising funds for an aspect of the game that has been poorly funded for decades? Are the egos really that fragile lads?

Mal-Adjusted · 24-02-2021 12:17am

A type of ad iv'e come to despise is a movie package ad, so ads for Sky Movies or Netflix or Disney+ where the narrator will say something & then they'll cut in a clip of whatever film where a character acts like they're reacting to what the narrator said, repeat for 30 seconds.
It's just such a f*&^ing lazy, zero effort attempt.

Nothing to do with male ego's, I think the ad is over the top as well. Also hypocritical from GAA considering the disparity in funding between male and females in the sport.

“Solutions is” sounds wrong in isolation due to the proximity of the words, but the noun phrase is “range of solutions”, and that’s singular. The range is what’s tailored, not the solutions. You can argue the opposite of course, but if that’s the case, best just to say say “our solutions are”.

People understandably make this mistake all the time, and I wouldn’t criticise it in normal speech; however this is sloppy in an ad for the country’s largest bank.

The sauce is actually ok. Got a bottle last week to try it and had it with some chips. Perfectly acceptable. The Ad is a bit cringey, but it’s Paul McGrath, so........

I was surprised that the word "Poxy" featured in it, but apart from that, as a Banjo player myself, I'm a fan.
