    the 3 year old certainly has a penchant for geography, knowledge of Geneva, "Scottish " as a nationality and nations having theiir own language, bloody hell, those questions are more 12 year old really.

    That CHOO CHOO tiles ad, stupid and childish.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,326 ✭✭✭crazy 88


    Because tiles have so much to do with trains. Imagine telling your ad agency to come up with a good catchphrase and they come back with "CHOO CHOO"

    I'd swear I heard an Air Lingus ad a couple weeks ago suggesting that we "fly to the beaches of Orlando" - Did they take a look at a map of Florida at all?

    taking a leaf out of the ryanair book of getting you somewhere, when that somewhere is 2-3 hours from where you land

    OIM SAM'S SHED.

    Has anybody copped the change to the Irish Ferries radio ad? The first line was along the lines of " Mum exploring French chateaus" with the second line "Dad more into the Châteauneuf-du-Pape............classic". (All paraphrased).

    They seem to have dropped the Dad line for one involving little Aoife on the sand dunes.

    I wonder who got upset by Dad liking a tipple or two????

    Have a nice baaaaaaath.

    I wiiiilllllll...


    Allianz again. People got paid for that? It's appalling.

    Is the ad agency trolling Allianz to see how bad an ad has to be before they dump them.

    The annoying high pitched north side Dub in the FBD ad. "SAM'S SHED!!!!"

    Are we supposed to know who yer one on that atrocious Applegreen ad is? Talk about greenwashing of the worst kind. Immerse yourself in nature with a petrol station! This sort of crap should be banned.

    The AIB ad with moany environmental activist wanting us to do "moar".



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,326 ✭✭✭crazy 88


    The sky broadband ad when she says "whether you're swiping in the bathroom" and then you hear a man in a bathroom (in a Russian accent for some reason) say "get out of here". Then she says "I said SWIPING".

    What's the intended joke, if there is one?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,026 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    It's promoting the by-now played out Minions/Despicable Me franchise.

    They definitely reduce the sound quality of those GOAL ads to them make them sound like they are calling from a phone box in the thick of things in the 3rd world or a warzone. The quality sounds like a bad 80s phone line. Clearly has been reduced down too much from their original studio recording.

    I like ‘the fall only starts when you hit the ground’ ad for safety when working from heights. Well written and hits home I think. …’when your carer Sean arrives to give you your bath on Thursday.’

    How can Newstalk play that Scottish cheese Aviva ad so much and think people won’t mind. Like it’s a form of mental torture. Immediately have to turn the radio volume off. Have had to give up newstalk completely now over this and that nordy asking did sinead pass her test ? It would drive you completely off your fcuking mind at 6am in the morning



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,326 ✭✭✭crazy 88


    It might make people in those jobs act safer but I couldn't help think how miserable it must make people with those disabilities feel. They make it sound like a death sentence while I'm sure many people in that situation lead happy and productive lives. Then they hear this ad

    I dont get this at all? what else rhymes with swiping that you do in a toilet? i really dont get it, unless its extremely vulgar like jerking off in bathroom with ipad in hand to porn hub? is this the risque joke ? seem OTT if it is. cant think what else it may be.

    shocking stuff how they portray the males in the ad, Dad like Chatenau du pap too much and danny the son is portrayed as a fat baasterd whos more interested in the full irish fry up, puts the tin hat on it then with "typical" remark. it really is shocking how it got out on air. i think the edited version has pulled both the dad and danny abuse from them. the full irish part was horrific , imagine sayin that about a female there would be war. just switch the role of both sexes when you hear it next. "mam is more interested in wine while dad takes in the historic french chateaux, danny is running on the beach while Aoife is more interested in the full irish fry up-typical! "

    Good Mourning from Accenture...

    *business-speak ensues - leaving us no wiser as to what they actually do*



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,326 ✭✭✭crazy 88


    And someone was paid to come up with that sh1te



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,780 ✭✭✭Hangdogroad


    Just heard one for Mrs Brown stage show, utterly atrocious with headwrecking sniggering from BOC.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,026 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    Not so much a bad ad, more out of touch.

    Zig and Zag on a schools science ad, it's like the middle-aged ad exec said, oh what do kids like these days? Ah yes a pair of puppets from 30 odd years ago.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 423 ✭✭chosen1


    It's probably more aimed at the teachers and parents of a certain age who'll be bringing their kids along to it.

    Wouldn't think too many kids be listening to ads on Newstalk or the like.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,332 ✭✭✭phonypony


    Current SuperValu ad

    "Sssuuperrr!"

    "WINNING!"

    and so on....
