    The Irish then British (now Irish again) actor/comedian



    When England moved on from Fr. Ted then he came to Ireland...



    Apparently he wanted too much money to go on Celebrity ***** staines

    Probably mentioned already in here before, but anyone know who the male actor is in this Sky Ireland ‘Sky over wifi’ ad (https://youtu.be/tU4-sDv639o?si=fBVtOcm0avIRBK9x)? I would like to personally punch him in the face.

    Just seen an edited version of the ehhhhhhhhhh Sky ad with your man humming edited out, probably saw how universally hated it was.

    The creepy "Mam's lamb" ad is back for the approaching Easter. Why do people have to be tormented with this rubbish every year?

    This ad is nearly as tiresome and insufferable now as that RSA ad at Christmas for the drink-driver who killed the child.

    Has to be the most smug and condescending advert on TV. It looks like something out of a children's storybook. Treating the public like simpletons.

    And speaking as someone who drives a van around town almost every day, pedestrians are probably bigger dopes in that environment than drivers (who have to drive slow and be wary of people in build-up areas).

    Veri fcking sure - every single person involved with these and especially those who think dubbing them into an Irish accent (cos sure we’ll only buy stuff if a Dub is selling it ??) - these people must be hunted down, covered in honey and thrown into a hole filed with fire ants.

    The confusing time travelling remake of the 'I'd like a bar of chocolate for my mum' Ad has been regionalised. If you've noticed the appearance and disappearance of the phone booth(s) outside the shop as time shifts, (it's gone and 'Mum' is on a mobile in the present scenes), you might also have noticed it changes from Red to Green depending on what channel you're watching. They were green on VM3 last night, but red on previous showings.

    Yer man looks surprised. " jaysus, that was green yesterday".

    They bodged it anyway, it still says TELEPHONE, not 'Telefón' on the green one.

    Was that ad always time travelling? Maybe I didn’t notice but I’d swear earlier ones were just set in the shop without any reference to time, except it being relatively recent.

    The mans Irish dubbed voice looks so so wrong aswell.

    I've never seen an old man that age from foreign backround with a native Irish accent.

    What is the deal with the Ryanair radio ad for flights to Manchester talking the mickey out Man United?

    You would imagine about half the people travelling to Manchester from Dublin are Man United fans. So....? I hear it regularly on NewsTalk.

    On the Dubbing it was once a requirement for ads. But the funniest dubbing is the now non-dubbing of the Security Alarm ads were the "actresses" now put on these odd mixture of Irish/Scottish accents for the Irish Version of the ad.

    ______

    In the end they were just greedy, they all knew one another and knew what to expect more money for no return, it was a secure cash flow, but in fairness they looked for what they wanted and fair dues to them for that, and wouldn't you be doing the same!

    Just one more thing .... when did they return that car

    Lads after prossie surgery, I'd say. They don't like talking about it, but it's the not forever thankfully. The really elderly or infirm would probably have someone else looking after them.

    A lad done an interview in the Indo after a Prostectomy, he complained that they were shite design (maybe made for that), and hidden away in a corner of the supermarket. He just called them nappies, and he wasn't very happie.

    Like the 'dump the kids on Granny' ads designed to get a reaction and more notice. Surprised they haven't come up with one about visiting your continental mistress when your wife is away?

    He must have a terribly bad memory if he can’t recall the darned recipe by now. FFS it’s a leg of lamb, basted well with tons of garlic, and presumably rosemary. I dare say gravy made from juices, roast potatoes and peas or something alongside, no doubt mint sauce. If he keeps having to play that recording someday that cassette tape will snap and end up like confetti on the floor if the player doesn’t kick the bucket first and join his late mam in the land of ever-after.

    Every TV service requires broadband now, unless you have your own dish and you choose to use that.

    It doesn't 'need' third party subscriptions. It comes with one year Netflix for free, and you can pay whatever other subscriptions you choose. It's probably the cheapest TV option around at the moment.

    There's a good thread on the pros and cons here somewhere.

    https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121889095#Comment_121889095

    You don't get to try it out unless you sign up for the service and get your Sky puck boxes delivered. In fairness, it is a real user problem, with couples and families arguing about what to watch.

    It's not hugely clever. It suggests stuff that you've already watched, for one.

    There's NO recording at all on the box, but they're providing that same functionality in a different way - by streaming instead of recording to a hard drive. By and large, it works, though there are some licensing issues with some BBC content.

    So why do restaurants sign up with them? They're not forced to take on this channel.

    Fully agree on the junk, overpriced product, but it's not hugely different from many junk, overpriced, branded fashion products, the clothes (especially those with the HUGE slogans that turn the wearers into walking advertisements), the handbags, the watches. It's all the same, paying for fancy adverts and celeb endorsements to fleece the suckers to pay up.

    It's not pedestrians who kill three or four people each week on our roads. Most road deaths don't involve pedestrians or cyclists, so problem really is down to driver behaviour.

    The new ad is new, to celebrate 200 years of Cadburys. The timeshifting has three or four phases, 1884 to 2024, with the previous ad and something else in between. That's why its confusing. Body doubles were used for the new scenes, as the kid is obviously grown up. There's two versions of the telephone kiosk, all red, and cream with red detail (green for red in Irish version). Nostalgia does nothing for my taste buds. Some nice Lily O'Briens or even proper chocolate in lidl, not the paste they peddle.
