Saaaawwwted!



Whats with those McCambridge adverts with that stupid kid feature at the end?! Who thinks these are clever or radio worthy? Secondly who gets paid to come up with that rubbish?!

Any ad people come on here to see their creations getting thrashed?

The current RTE Ad - with their oh so funny flatbed trucks etc. -for their virtual St.Patrick's Day is utterly cringeworthy. And while on the subject of cringeworthy , I heard a new (?) version of the really clever Brady Family Hams/Come Out You Black and Tans Ad this morning - dreadful stuff.

Omg there is no end to that Brady's Ham ad!

What about the young fella asking 'how filthy are my parents?' on that young scientist advert.

:o

What?
WTF does that even mean? It makes no sense.

Agreed – and not forgetting Peugeot with their “unboring the future”, as ugly and clunky sounding a slogan as any. I suspect what might be happening here is someone in Opel Germany asked Gunther to translate a company slogan direct from German to English, the problem being that Gunther has never been able to speak English so armed with a German-English-German dictionary he has done an exact translation from some obscure local German dialect to English. Then said slogan was passed through the hands of some dim-witted, unimaginative individual in an Irish ad agency.

Oh good jesus that has outstayed its welcome like all 'hilarious talking animals'. Thankfully we've heard the last of the Bothar goat.

I hear that weirdo listening to his deceased mammy while cooking lamb has made its way to the radio.

I am just after hearing that ad and wondered if anyone here had any idea what was going on with it? Are they supposed to be people we know? Why does he only do this once a year? Is the mammy dead, and if so why is he rewinding her recordings? Sure he'd know what she said. What the hell is it even about?

I'm really surprised to hear that TJ O'Mahony are using the same gloomy audio bed for their recent advert. It is the exact same gloomy audio bed as used on the AJ Products advert.

Surely someone should have picked up on this, even the studio creating it? I thought that it was the latter brand returning to the radio - but no.

It's the smug brother from the Oakpark Ad with the chip on his shoulder about his Great Granny Brett that drives me mad. Ungrateful little ****er if you ask me - if it hadn't been for Gt.Granny Brett the little bollix wouldn't have a seat in his trousers.

Great minds think alike!

I understand it's the sequel to the eircode advert.....

yeah why is he only cooking a leg of lamb once a year? i would think irish sheep farmers were delighted with the ad until some goon put that bit in. should be til next week Mam.

on another note i really dont like when irish people called their mother MAM. e.g "my mam..." just say my mother

Not as bad as mum. One of the most irritating words in the English language.
