    Ah, he's only a little boy. Some plank from "morketing" probably told him the answer is "strawberry tree".

    The Honda radio ad with that “Lucky, lucky, lucky me I’m a lucky son of a gun” song with all the whistling holy fûck it’d go right through your skull



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,792 ✭✭✭squonk


    The stupid tampax ad with the news broadcast banging on about flows and one male presenter who makes a relevant point then getting the condescending “well done” from the ladies. Scutter!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,153 ✭✭✭The Continental Op


    LOL they totally failed in their advertising. Hyundai not Honda ;-0. Even worse it you live in France you get the same lyrics that are in English

    In fact they use the same song and lyrics the world over there is even a version in Tamil.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Hahah there ya go, they made such an annoying ad I’m too focused on turning it off to even know what company it is



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭deezell


    All Red Bull ads annoy me, and the product itself is unhealthy, but the one with the fox and rabbit, where she simpers, "No foxing tonight" is such a feeble attempt at salacious wordplay, it makes me cringe, for Fox ache! They should replace their punchline with, 'Red Bull Gives You… Diabetes!'

    Glenvygh Houses. Why is the child wearing his coat in the house and then takes it off to go out playing with the other kids?? Doesn't fill one with confidence about the BER rating of the houses.

    The Lidl ad on about ending discrimination in women's GAA. It's not discrimination, it's indifference by the vast majority of the population.

    You couldn't buy a ticket for the Clare v Cork men's hurling final yesterday in Croke Park for love nor money. They were like gold dust, and priced at €100(stand) and €55(terrace), it didn't matter if you were man, woman, child, OAP or student. And it was the only game on. It will be the same story for the men's football final.

    Contrast that with the upcoming women's finals. There's 3 finals in Croke Park on the same day, Junior, Intermediate and Senior. Tickets are €30 for adults and €15 for juveniles, students and OAPs. And it still won't sell out.

    If anyone is being discriminated against, it's the supporters of the men's hurling and football.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭deezell


    'Discrimination', this from the people who invented the Ban, which was enforced, on adults and kids.

    The incredibly annoying add for car insurance where yer wan tells her ma that her new car is called marco (or something) and the “mam” says “ah Kate”.
    The ma sounds like her granny ffs.

    The GAA have another ad about discrimination regarding several minorities. I don't get it. It implies that the GAA community is homophonic, racist etc but the minorities should play anyway.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭deezell


    They've always had a chip on their shoulder, what with the "foreign" games ban, the anthem playing, the exclusive use of Irish on programmes, jerseys, scoreboards. It felt really discriminatory to me and my pals as kids in the 60s, the local Gaa club was years closed due to emigration, the pitch locked up and overgrown. We'd kick a game of soccer or even a kind of touch rugby with a handball in the local town park, which had two large pitches with some broken posts. It was publicly owned, and the grass mowed by locals. but the 'trustee', an old bollix who claimed to have been in the GPO in 1916, would chase us off screaming it was only for Gaelic games. I detested the GAA from that day on, and by the 70s our town had two seperate soccer clubs, but the Gaa ground was still derelict.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,792 ✭✭✭squonk


    They’re an organisation masquerading as being modern and forward looking but there’s a real bang of 1950s Ireland off it!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭deezell


    An older former work colleague of mine who was a tricky midfielder in Shels schoolboys in the 50s tells how the Brothers enticed him to play a Gaa game for the school team, such was his prowess, a blind eye turned to the ban. On his first fixture, playing as well with ball in hand or not, he made a run into the opposition box, rose majestically to receive a cross, and drove the ball into the net.... with his head. There was nearly a riot by the old brigade and opposition, he'd been rumbled, and I think a header is not allowed? I honestly don't know.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,480 ✭✭✭✭lawred2


    The Lidl radio and TV ads about empty seats at ladies football matches. It's the glass ceiling keeping lads from taking seats apparently. Incoherent tripe.

    No no no. It's the patriarchy. And the glass ceiling. Not indifference to a rather low quality product on par with an U14 boys match.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 834 ✭✭✭Deregos.


    There's a very unconvincing radio ad about a 'girl' buying a new car and showing it off to her mother . . the daughter sounds like shes in her thirties and the feeble old mother sounds at least 80 . . "Oh kate" . . what bollicks . . Heard it a thousand times yet i still don't even know (or care) what the ad is for.

    Ahh now. I think that's a good advert.

    Great tune.

    Boney M - Daddy Cool

    Featuring a man in a supermarket advert who isn't being depicted as an utter moron - quelle surprise!!!!

    Its sort of witty too. Tipping the concierge at the country club with an egg 🥚 is pretty funny.

    And there's even an Oirish angle where he goes to Dublin Zoo

    Only downside is that its played very often... soo maybe in another month it'll be an advert that I despise.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,450 ✭✭✭LambshankRedemption


    Frankie. I f##king hate that advert. The mother sounds like her granny talking to her 7 year old grand daughter. The condescension in her voice irritates me "And its been properly checked?" "Yes mammy!"



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,450 ✭✭✭LambshankRedemption


    Great tune. And as you said, for a change, the males are depicted as fuppin eejits, so to be honest, I like that ad.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,637 ✭✭✭joebloggs32


    They recently played a double header in Tullamore for the senior LGFA All Ireland semifinals. There would be nearly more people at an ordinary Offsly club championships game than was there that day.

    They way the advert was designed you would think its all down to men preventing people from attending, its very childish really.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭deezell


    Yer wan whinging because she was knocked off her bike 'on a training run in Spain'. I see, not after a jug of Sangria on a hen party. They played an extended version of this ad the other night, it was practically a documentary. The only message I take from it is .

    1. Don't go solo bike racing in a drive-on-the-right country with hot and possibly hot headed drivers who currently are sick to their back teeth with tourists, never mind self declared and self absorbed 'athletes'
    2. Don't expect us back home to give a flying fk about your privileged misadventure, or listen to your judgemental lecture.

    Whats worse, its on on almost every ad break.

    I know its not normal to wish ill will towards a car, but I sincerely hope Frankie explodes on the way to granny's.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,855 ✭✭✭✭tom1ie


    😂

    If the mother is as old as she sounds what age are we guessing Kate’s granny is?


    AH KATE!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,450 ✭✭✭LambshankRedemption


    Presumably, granny was sent to a mother and baby home when she was 14, so not a whole lot older.



  • Registered Users Posts: 722 ✭✭✭blackvalley


    Your lack of empathy for a fellow human being whose career has been destroyed because of an unfortunate accident is shameful. Don’t know what you’re referring to about Sangria but it’s unlikely that a professional athlete would be out training while intoxicated. . I suggest that you crawl out of your mammys box room and put your name to your malicious comments.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,345 ✭✭✭Archeron


    Usain Bolt has taught me that years of saving power and only putting on a full wash is actually completely wrong.

    Its perfectly fine to put on the washing machine to wash just one t-shirt. And not only that, but a single t-shirt that is visibly so clean you need a CSI miami stylee dna detector to see the dirt.

    Surely Usain Bolt of all people has more than one fecking running shirt??



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,551 ✭✭✭Glencarraig


    Its about time they did away with the archaic "parade" of players before the game. These guys are superb athletes and the last thing they need it a doddle walk behind the band and dont get me started on the delay in recent games before "extra time". Last game I think it was 25 minutes or similar, the players need a full warm again at that rate….its just ridiculous.

    The whole thing with the parade and brass band are like something you’d see in Peaky Blinders. It might as well be 1924 looking at the whole thing. Definitely it’s a bit disrespectful to the players nowadays who are as fit and well trained as professional players in other sports. I think it actually looks embarrassing. It’s all a bit ultra Irish and uktra traditional overall. Just in case any change would affect the “purity” of the whole thing or something.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,480 ✭✭✭✭lawred2




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,792 ✭✭✭squonk


    embarrassing the the players. Embarrassed for us all now that the BBC are carrying the gages and it’s being shown in other parts of the world.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,480 ✭✭✭✭lawred2


    You've spoken to them have you?

    You think the lads lining out for their county, marching behind the band as they parade all four corners of croke park, in front of their families, friends and neighbours are embarrassed?

    I don't think you understand the first thing about the GAA if you think the players are embarrassed doing that.

    As for being embarrassed about what you're imagining some lad in Bedford is thinking... Maybe get a grip of yourself.

    Like they parade the horses before a race, around the ring. It really is naff. All we need to bring back on Sunday is the Bishop of Galway throwing in his balls. Oh, wait...…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,792 ✭✭✭squonk


    There’s always diehards who are very quick on any forum jumping all in to attack anyone with any ounce of criticism of their beloved GAA. It’s like a cult. You just can’t have a normal airing of views with them. That’s why the organisation is fundamentally stuck in the past and why there is still rubbish like the parade happening.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,792 ✭✭✭squonk


    What is it specifically I need to know to understand the GAA? I’m Irish and you can’t get away from them here so I feel I have an understanding of them thanks. To be fair you don’t need to “understand the GAA” to see that a quaint little parade behind a marching band looks naff and I’d fairly say the lad in Bedford certainly never heard of the GAA let alone understands them so will certainly wonder why it all looks so old hat.

    The Gaa and its ethos, symbolism and history are are always prime, front and centre, never the players. As amateurs, they have all the standing of volunteers, or movie extras. The central committees have always come down on the players organisations like a ton of bricks. Do they even get a few quid for appearing in revenue earning GaaGo games? You'd get 50 quid or more just for walking past in Fair City.

    During COVID, the GAA announced that their senior players would be bringing groceries to elderly people in the area who couldn't or didn't want to go to the shop any more. My elderly father, 83, not driving anymore, 4 miles to nearest shop decided to avail of the service. You know how long they continued doing it? A week. Big grand announcement they'd be doing it, not even a whisper saying they weren't any more.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,491 ✭✭✭pgj2015


    The vodafone advert where the wimp guy runs up the the top floor of the lighthouse to talk to the girl he fancies. Yet another advert where males are made out to be useless and pathetic.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭deezell


    Yes, but the older brother is a proper jock-rugger-bugger type straight from the pages of Paul Howard. Great D4 male role model. The parents on the other hand ooze bohemian artshole creds, (they live in a lighthouse ffs, no wonder the boy is socially awkward). Actually, speaking of Jocks, the lighthouse is located in Scotland, 40 miles east of Edinburgh, right next to a Nuclear power station, so no wonder our dweeb is anxious.

    It's always interesting to see how ad industry creatives paint social and domestic tableaus to try and get under your skin with "oh, I wish my circumstances were so novel" sentiment. I don't think signing up to a phone plan is going to reduce the shittiness of anyone's life, but, thats the ad trade for ye. It's fun, poking same at them here!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,792 ✭✭✭squonk


    I hate the ad. Pretty sure she’s video calling. FFS! She’s outside. Knock on the door or ring the bell hun and ask whatever “cool” parent that answers if dweeb can go fur a walk.
