    Food Safety Authority ad of 75 is back.

    Going gangbusters now on Newstalk, such a completely fake sounding ad.

    Especially annoying is her 'Nah-ah'.

    why does Dawn French continually plaay up to the fact shes obese, shes been doing this the last 25 years, remember reeling in the years 1996 with pat kenny? dawn doing modeling on the catwalk and pat says he will pay her a million pounds NOT to get out of bed in the morning. now shes on about stuffing her face in cream buns for m and s. in this day and age should she not be trying a get fit ad or eat less for xmas or something. she shoudnt condone eating too much crap if shes overweight. if it was alcohol there would be histeria

    The latest Eamonn Coughlan Goal ad where the audio is cut at the start and it begins with "Coughlan here.. "

    Editing of the year award. And special prize for all the other people who would have heard it before going live and not bothering to point out the glaring error

    The latest offering to promote RTE's coverage of the Young Scientists competition - I've heard it three times this morning and still can't understand the whole thing 🙄



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,250 ✭✭✭Kalimah


    I see the Brittany Ferries ad with the fake French accent is back. Dreadful. Could they not get a French man or woman to do it? Anyone at all!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,642 ✭✭✭RINO87


    They should get your man that used to do the Air France ads. He had a very good French accent so he did. I'd say he studied 'Allo 'Allo to be sure he got it spot on. C'est Magnifique!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,257 ✭✭✭Hangdogroad


    Ad for the Hunt Museum, Limerick which has a very annoying child with a bizarre accent prattling on for what feels like ages.

    You want the worst ever add on Radio. How about the Ben Dunne adds. The miserable piece was so tight he would not even hire anyone to do an add for him he done them all himself the tight miserable ××××.

    Thankfully I do not listen to radio much these days but his adds were certainly the worst adds ever made on radio. It would not make me want to join his gym but it would put me off them. If he is that tight with his adds I can only imagine how crappy the gyms must be. The Ryanair of gyms.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    There's some weird ad on TodayFM every day for some holiday company, where this one is going on about it and then breaks into a sort of song. I say sort of song as I'm not even sure what it is. She's going 'this and that and weeeeeee'. It's just bizarre. All I'd say is lay of the crack there, advertising drones.

    "Can I use my dishwasher?""


    "It's fairly windy outside so yeah, you're good to go"


    What the feck?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,458 ✭✭✭corcaigh07


    Strangest ad I've ever heard. How about getting a day/night meter and go for late night/early morning?

    Nobody cares if it's windy or not, they care about the price they pay.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,515 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,936 ✭✭✭Dickie10


    Dr Georgina Jordan- ssounds like george hamilton commentating from an ireland v poland or ireland v bulgaria match in the late 1980s /early 90s. when they used to commentate into the mobile phone back to dublin. why is that sound effect on it?



  • Registered Users Posts: 813 ✭✭✭Macdarack


    They're pulling that ould stunt for years, makes them sound like they're on a battle front and exposed, probably recorded in a 5star hotel in Ankara

    gushing Amy Huberman / Orla Rafter seems to be everywhere on radio now, always advertsing kildare village or the PUURRRFECT christmas or some holiday company.

    The one asking permission to use a hairdryer is even more stupid.

    I'm gonna stand around with sopping wet hair until the wind picks up. Yeah right.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,404 ✭✭✭dogmatix


    Two things on the radio bugging me at the moment:

    1. The sudden use of the word "curating", such as kildare village with their "curated collections" and such. When did "curating" suddenly become an annoying buzz word?
    2. PWC ads - biggest load of business bingo buzzwords bulls*it, somehow all adding up to the "new equation", whatever the "new equation" is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,081 ✭✭✭fricatus


    Yeah, I've seen "curated collections" of music

    = "playlists" (or for children of the '80s, "mix tapes")



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,515 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    1. To give it a certain appeal to the 'hipster' demographic.
    2. Business bulls*t types love phrases, words and abbreviations that make them sound smarter than they actually are. Oooh an 'equation' .... that sounds difficult, let's run with that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,792 ✭✭✭ShamNNspace


    That Goal wan shoutin at the listeners wouldn't entice me to donate that's for sure

    Seeing as Kildare village was mentioned.......

    Their ad's drive me nuts. SSSSHHHHH its a PRIVATE sale, that we are advertising on the RADIO.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,010 ✭✭✭Gen.Zhukov


    There's an ad on Classic hits for 'Gourmet fuel' where some cretin has put a Thai curry into his cars fuel tank - another mind-numbingly stupid ad brought to us (I'd guess) from the same agency that gave us that Top security's 'mobile gardening' sh!te

    Companies actually pay for this scutter?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,379 ✭✭✭Patrick2010


    Random caller "Hi, I was given this number to find out how much I won"

    National lottery man "Let me just check"

    National lottery man "You've won a million euro"

    No ticket check?, thats how it works?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,759 ✭✭✭✭thesandeman


    I really like the ads for radio advertising. They're catchy and actually make sense.

    "Accept cookies".......absolute pi$$ boiler of an ad.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,515 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    That travel agency ad.

    Monotonal male voiceover overdoing the alliteration: "Perched Purple Penguins of Pozitano/Pizza on a Piazza in Pisa" or some such rubbish.

    The flock of turkeys winning 1 million on the lotto is up there with the most grating adds.

    The people who run the 'Loddo' are very trusting with giving away money, no id verification required.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,515 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    What in the world is that strange ad ending in 'You are Europe' meant to be for?

    Witters on about climate change, renewables and such like?
