Are Quote Devil a super rich company?

I have never heard a company with so many radio adverts.
They seem to be on EVERY single ad break.

And they are on TV too.

And for reference, they have never given me a decent insurance quote.

Sure is it any wonder when they spend so much on advertising

They sound like the kind of outfit who insure the uninsurable for a price.

Cartell advert with the much used trope of idiot guy, clever girl. So the car he bought was written off, clocked, outstanding finance and god knows what else, actually thinking about it he is an idiot!

Why is there an American guy doing the Skoda ad?

Someone was paid to write that...

On newstalk every 5 minutes you're reminded of "show me the science...with PROFESSOR LUKE O NEILL"

And the way she says "uhh ahh it was devastating"

The furniture store Flanagan Kerins advert.

There's something to be said for a simple no fuss, no gags, no gingle advert. Direct, simple and straight to the point. I know what they're selling. I don't know who the guy is narrating the advert but I feel like he's someone I might meet in the shop who has spent a lifetime at this.

As opposed to:

"Petrol or electric?....petrol or electric?

Or

"Theee neeeeww Hyundaaai $hiteeeebox has got the competition taaalking. Some generic magazine sayssss it's an amaaaaazing $hiteeeebox"

The Flanagan Kerins as actually prompted me to go there when I was in the area a couple of years ago. Some lovely stuff, and I did see a chap in the shop who I'm convinced did the ad.

It also had a great coffee shop, with excellent views, so I had lunch. Would definitely go back if I was in the market for furnishings.

Is that Jonathan Healy doing the Curry’s ad?

Euro bike Euro baby.

Worst company name ever with a jingle they play as an enhanced interrogation technique in Guantanamo bay.

Yes. I don't know why he's doing ads when there's actors who need the work. He was doing Carphone warehouse aswell. I'm pretty sure I heard Kieran Cuddihy doing one aswell in an ad break for his show.

Presumably just meant they aren't using their surreal sung jingle of old.

I heard a 'normal' sounding young lad doing a decent ad today, but I really can't hack the precocious Billie Barry school type kids...I reckon it's Tubridy's favourite ad right now.

I remember this one from last year too... It's not just the voices that bug me, but the listener has absolutely no idea what this ad is for!

Take it and shake it because it it what you make it......

Maybe it does if you plan to spend all day on the throne.

Probably just on Dublin radio stations but the awful ads that are on every bloody ad break, for Vinny Byrnes. No idea if that is the correct spelling, all I know is I will never buy anything there thanks to their irritating ads.

And I have ranted aplenty previously about ads where a 'd' is put into a word, such as Trin-a-dee (Trinity) for which there is a very long ad running at the moment. Or should that be 'ad the momend' :rolleyes:
I sometimes have to switch off the radio to ease the pain.
