    That must be Nigel with the brie...


    Are they trying to make out she has an eating disorder or something? There is one where she brings out a plate of mince pies and offers one to her mother. She tells her to 'hurry up and finish that before I nail the lot' eight mince pies and she is going to nail the lot?!

    In another one she gives a cup of tea and a biscuit to a woman and then proceeds to snatch the biscuit off her saucer and eat it in front of her with a sadistic grin!

    Cack handed Martin is back trying to fill the kettle, god I absolutely hate that Ad 😡😡😡

    I can't be the only one who can't stand the latest HelloFresh ad, surely?

    Oh look how wholesome a family we are! And the music, utter puke

    A negative, B negative, O negative, A negative, B negative, O negative, A negative, B negative, O negative, Victor Charlie Bravo. GTFO my radio.

    For an ad that is encouraging people to give blood could they not have come up with a less irritating advert?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,189 ✭✭✭RoTelly


    The insurance ad with the Rugby commentator / rugby player.

    Any of the Paddy Power ads.

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

    That ad is dire, I switch over whenever it comes on. Like an episode of Brits behaving badly on holidays. Feral people but I guess that's the market they're targeting. If I was on a plane with them near me I would insist on departing the plane, assuming it hadn't taken off yet! Then again I wouldn't be going near any destinations that they go to. 🤮

    Well it does remind us not to go to those places.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,852 ✭✭✭ollaetta


    What is it with so many companies rehashing old ads rather than making new ones? It can't be long before the ancient Maltesers necklace reappears and we'll soon be counting the days until the return of your man and his dreaded "Mam's Lamb".

    Hopefully the tape got mangled in the tape recorder 🥴

    The Trivago ad with the ugly gombeen on the phone as he checks out. (in itself a w*nkery thing to be doing)

    Wait, what, HOW?

    I suspect they picked his particularly punchable face purely to get people talking about how annoying he is, but it really does not want me want to use trivago.

    And the other guy saying trivago is my secret weapon, really? You're in an ad on prime time telly so it's not really a secret.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,585 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    What about the Trivago ad with Klopp? The sh*t-eating grin as he saves a tenner versus the common man.

    C'mon Klopp, you've got the money to splurge every once in a while without the urge to put down the average consumer.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,642 ✭✭✭deezell


    The 'other guy' is Jurgen Klopp! Must be hard up for a few quid

    That Amazon ad about the janitor some love song from the corporation that takes 20 to 30 percent from all it's suppliers and does not ,want it's workers to take bathroom breaks .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,585 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Oh, he's an absolute whore for advertising.

    Erdinger, Opel, Snickers, Peleton, Adidas.. I can go on.

    Apparently he was making between 10 and 20 million a year while at Liverpool, not like he needs to do it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,642 ✭✭✭deezell


    That's probably what Jurgs says when a camera is pointed at him,

    'I can go on. I must go on. I'll go on!' Kaching!

    Like Jamie Dornan lately, Guinness and Diet Coke. Just make a film or a series will you.

    the 30 something man that has the big beard with grey through it, ronnie corbett glasses, belly, cross patterned shirts opened over a t shirt, wearing converse, two kids under 5 hanging out of him, house in a commuter town sleeper town estate = that to me is hell on earth, but for the grace of God go we….

    poor bastxxd probably works in tech since he spent his youth cooped inside all summer playing mind numbing computer games, he will get gate from intel/meta/google and then the fun will start

    I wonder how much the fees paid to these A listers for ads increases the price of the product advertised. In the early days iof Lidl and Aldi, they didn't advertise and it was up to you to determine which expensive advertised brand product was identical in qualty to their own brands in store. You quickly learned that their Mayonnaise for example was exactly like Helmanns, but a fraction of the price. Unfortunately, they have since went down the rabbit hole of insanely expensive advertising campaigns, and their store prices have risen to pay for this as they try to gentrify their image. Its still interesting though to see some residents groups reacting in horror to the planning application for a store near them, as in Navan recently.

    That Flahavans advert on radio, I hate the singing, have to turn it off every time it comes on.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,024 ✭✭✭✭CoBo55


    Thank god that video nasty is starting today as they're advertising it every second bloody minute on VM, it's doing my brain in and I'm definitely not going to watch it😡😡



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,660 ✭✭✭Markus Antonius


    Haven't heard the radio one but flahavins should be boycotted and letters sent for as long as that British style, amateur singing ad is on the television. Would make you want to put the fist thorough the screen

    Think Irish Provincial Music and Drama group, and My Fair Lady would be a prize performance in their repertoires. I'm not a fan of musicals, especially on film, but in the theatre they are a celebration of talent, the silly storylines just an MC for the next song and dance number. I'd like to think the ad makers mined the well of Irish dramatic talent for this one, and there are thousands of dedicated amateur thespians who will recognise themselves immediately when they encounter this ad. Many of our A listers started off their career in the school musical, so knock it at your peril.

    get the sack or let go



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,660 ✭✭✭Markus Antonius


    I wouldn't care if Kirk Douglas, Marlon Brando, Clint Eastwood, Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stalone started out in the drama theatre - still makes my ears bleed…

    Not my cup of tea either, but it's joy for some. I sort of enjoyed the Mikado as a kid, some amateur society in the 60s, songs were earworms, ideal soundbites for modern ads when you think of it.
