Please get the Pedro Pascal wine plugs off my TV. I'd pay well for an ad blocker that could remove them forever.

Hear hear. One of the rare ads that would absolutely put me off ever using that company.

It's so bloody loud it nearly drowns the voiceover out.

"I'm not the kind of person who wants to slowly die in traffic. I'm not the kind of person who wants to lie in a wooden box"

Can someone please explain to me the logic of this ad. I just don't get it.

So if you don't want to slowly die in traffic, then you want to go faster in traffic? So you get hit by a truck and end up lying in a wooden box (aka coffin)................is that right? So what is your option? Drive slowly? But you've just said you don't want to slowly die in traffic? It just baffles me every time!

The Kranzel powerwasher... you can be konfident zey get a Kranzeling.... a la the Germans of Allo Allo.

Do you want to know how to safely get your nuclear waste, liquid chlorine and aerosols onto a plane? Visit Daa.ie

Bag it

Zip it

Seper

Ate it.

Like an ad written by the producers of Bosco as what they thought would appeal to the cool kids.

I keep thinking of Von Richthofen from Blackadder:

”Have Baldrick sent to my room for a damn good kranzeling……. “

Strange ze German seems to be zaying “Krenzl”, while the Irish speakers says “Kranzel”

The gas thing is they used to promote non-alcoholic beers so you wouldn't be grilled about why you're not drinking.

Typer Monkey · 04-08-2022 10:55am

I hate the wooden box motorbike one too but it's more the ridiculous way your man speaks and where he adds emphasis

"I'm not ....(big gap)...the kind of person.....(big gap)....who wants...."

Nobody talks like that!!!

You'd need a Bosco song to get the utter eejits who are the public to get their act together at security. You would think they never were on a flight in their little lives.

We are cheaper we are cheaper we are cheaper than everybody else

We are..The Gap

(circa early/mid 80s I think - most annoying ads but I remember it to this day so kudos to the marketing guys)

whisky_galore · 08-08-2022 7:45pm

Probably not a radio ad but that Safe Food ad on Spotify with that gobshite singing/roaring "75" when his burger is done gets on my tits.

whiterebel · 08-08-2022 10:34pm

It’s on radio too.

L1011 · 09-08-2022 8:22am

Any BBQ / summer water safety ads are often hell for station sales and ad placement staff as they only get provisionally booked and confirmed Friday when the weather forecast looks locked in. BBQ food as well as safety ads

Damn these people who get might sick and who may die in drownings. Awful bad for business.

You've got that rather backwards, which means I think you missed the point.

Those ads only get played when its warm. However they are often booked and cancelled multiple times over the course of a summer, for when its not as warm. Nobodies getting paid if they aren't played.

Supermarkets and various food brands (bread, sauces, meat particularly but also alcohol brands to an extent) do the same thing

Milkman.ie and the helicopter mom worried her son won't become a consultant because there's no milk in the fridge.

thesandeman · 03-09-2022 1:20pm

How are they getting away with the "MAN" from Aviva ads in the current climate. Are there no female mechanics around?

Clare_Culchie · 03-09-2022 1:30pm

No doubt it's been said already, but the ESB ad, "Going Home", from the 80's. https://youtu.be/btqSxlUJyxo

A close second is the Barry's Tea Christmas "Train Set" radio ad: https://youtu.be/Ab0-T0KkJzY

Breakdown assistance from the AA, of course it's the stupid man who fills a petrol car with diesel.

The man or woman or non-binary person from Aviva...

SpitfireIV · 09-09-2022 7:17am

I swear I wasn't dreaming it, but I could have swore on Tuesday I winced when I heard that god damn advert for Mrs Browns Boys, 'I have friends but not too many, I have no hair on my....' on radio 1 😱 Please tell me that was a mistake and I don't have to endure another few weeks of that?!!!

Also, the advert for the TV licence, and the 'ittttsss the laawww', spoken like a guy who you know in his younger years was the rat who'd snitch on somebody or was teachers pet.

I think she is Amy Huberman, shes trying to have an adult/baby accent or tone, full of wonder and surpise as if its from a babys viewpoint like the TV ad, but she just sounds scareily crazy on radio. like a woman thats in need of a shot or two of valium maybe.
