    Hyundai have dug up that ad with the talentless cow shouting "LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY ME!" I suppose it suits the obese shitbox it features.

    As if everyone in that place would be drinking the same drink.

    Big shite Suv! The song is 74 years old though.

    The latest Hyundai ad where theres a kids birthday party and the mother just sods off for a drive.

    If the husband did that there'd be war. Bonus points for having him studying an empty bottle which may or may not have had wine in same.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,245 ✭✭✭The Continental Op


    Won't someone think of the children ;-) Suggests being drunk in charge of other peoples kids.

    Wake me up when it's all over.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,644 ✭✭✭deezell


    I assume she polished off the wine as she couldn't cope, then fkd off in the new car, then wraps it around a bollard.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 177 ✭✭Isthisthingon?


    Or , and I fully admit this didn't occur to me at the time - she's off doing an off- licence run.

    Either way a wholesome endorsement from Hyundai !

    That should be obvious when you are creating an ad for a car, show no alcohol whatsoever.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,854 ✭✭✭ollaetta


    Oh my suffering Jebus, that RSA ad for E-scooter safety is chronic.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,245 ✭✭✭The Continental Op


    It might depend if you drink a lot of wine or not ;-) I made an immediate connection that this was a booze run. Seemed even more obvious that the parents needed the alcohol to help them deal with the kids party.

    Just checked back to the advert as I wasn't 100% sure and it looks like a wine bottle to me?

    Wake me up when it's all over.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,644 ✭✭✭deezell


    The other meme that's being explored is the disconnect between the couple, like their relationship is adversarial rather than collaborative. Kids birthday parties and car ownership was always a joint venture in my experience, and this sharing was thoroughly rewarding and enjoyable. Now it's all me me me, and her fkng ice cream kona or whatever the fk it is she drives off. Marry your car why don't you.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 461 ✭✭Kingslayer


    I've only ever seen a shortened version. There is no interaction with the guy in it, so it looked like she was just ditching the party and dropping him right in it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 177 ✭✭Isthisthingon?


    Same here I've only ever seen the short version. The longer one adds a smaller bit of context, the jury's out if it is indeed an empty wine bottle or fancy cordial for the kids. I tell you one thing though - it ain't Mi Wadi!



  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 10,550 Mod ✭✭✭✭squonk


    It looks like she runs out on the party and the poor dumb husband who doesn’t know what to do with the empty bottles. She’s off to get more but as long as she has her “quiet time”, fúck the Hubble. I’m not even thinking that the bottles are for wine because I wouldn’t expect a responsible company to suggest that a couple in charge of theirs and others kids would be tanked while doing so, let alone heading off on a bitter booze run.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,644 ✭✭✭deezell


    The point is she's obviously horrified to be in a kids party, doesn't suit her corporate brand and narcissistic self image. Just Ignore the fact that's she's only there because she has children, well probably just one, won't be going there again! Kids are a lifetime commitment, because they have the grandkids you see, so there's no going back. You man will be hopping into his range rover or lexus fairly soon to dissappear for a while from her and her van. Haha..

    There's only 1 message they need for that, if the person looks sound treat them like you would any other fucker on the road driving a toy. If however you see a balaclava with the hood up, feel free to annihilate them at 80kph.

    Now they have another pissy ad. A footballer is taking a penalty but at the last second he runs to the side of the pitch to relieve himself instead.

    Sequel to her first ad, why are we being shown this ad when the accident occured in Spain where they drive on the other side of the road and their driver education and policing is totally different to ours, absolute joke of an organisation the RSA. Perhaps they have a 6 part deal on the ad.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,644 ✭✭✭deezell


    Shoved in your face in the middle of the Champions league, whiney entitled private school accent. Fup off, I turned over immediately to Killinaskully on rte1, a few minutes of Dick and Jacksie rinsed that fkng voice out of my head. Back to 2 for the second half!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,032 ✭✭✭✭CoBo55


    It's a stupid ad, really bugs me every time I see it. That bloody accent 😡😡



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,050 ✭✭✭gidget


    I'm sorry for the woman that she had a nasty accident, but what I want to know is where & why there is never any RSA ads directed at cyclists as well, particularly when it comes to red lights and reminding them that they aren't immune to them & also have to stop. I see it happen every day with cyclists charging through red lights and pedestrian crossings, without a thought for oncoming traffic or pedestrians who have right of way & delivery cyclists are horrendous for it too!

    Many years ago a bunch of this type, who weekly drove down from Dublin southside to buzz around the rural roads in my locality in their 'Peleton', were haring around a 90° bend when one of the rear riders attempted the manoeuvre of rotating to the front, with the customary yelling and jostling. She lost control, and fell straight into the path of a local man braking into the narrow bend. The result was fatal for the young woman. The group of cyclists then lied through their teeth for the next year right up to the perjury inspired court case, in an attempt the destroy the driver, who suffered a year of hell. Thankfully their lies were exposed in court, he was acquitted on all counts, but the man suffered terribly at the hands of this mob.

    That they collectively tried to excuse their own incompetence and culpability by attempting to send a decent local man to prison sickens me to this day, and I can't but detest the sight of them on our narrow roads, which is virtually anytime I travel to the nearest towns. There seems to be dozens of different clubs, some with matching uniforms and a lot of speed, some a bit more wobbly with a lot of grey beards. Some are well behaved, and others....

    Stay on topic, please.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,529 ✭✭✭Archeron


    All of these stupid conceptual ads with no meaning, mostly for companies everybody hates.

    Because up is on, and for every reindeer in a lightning storm, never stop believing in the power of you.

    AIB. Because up is on.



  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 12,479 Mod ✭✭✭✭Say Your Number


    The voice of the fox in the NowTv ad is familiar, can't pinpoint who it is.

    As ads go it's far from the worst.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,049 ✭✭✭donegal_man


    Dear God! The singing pints of Guinness. What sick twisted individuals come up with these anthropomorphic food adverts? From singing pints to suicidal blackcurrants.

    Please I beg of you. Stop.

    I am aware of the particular incident to which you refer and I think it is totally inappropriate to refer to it in this light hearted discussion . Tragically a young woman lost her life in the accident regardless of the rights or wrongs of the situation. If you have an anti cyclist agenda there are many forums where you can happily discuss it without referring to people who have lost their lives.
