    It makes perfect sense to me and one of the few adverts I like.

    Funnily enough.

    Here's a video of the location, poster doesn't say where of course.

    Cadbury's old man ad, firstly he looks the same age as his daughter, and the dubbing into Irish accents.

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

    Yesterday

    That must be Nigel with the brie...


    Matalan ad where people having a BBQ go absolutely bananas over a single wasp in the garden. Talk about an over-reaction.

    the chewing gum ad with the guy with an extra mouth on his forehead. 🤷‍♂️

    The gormless father looks a bit like Mario Rosenstock.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,390 ✭✭✭Kalimah


    He sounds like a robot when he says " you're welcome". Weird add.

    Apparently there is a 1996 Toyota Corolla in the shed. I wonder was their any fuel in it? They could have syphoned some off. Although yer one cant find the fuel gauge on the dash board, so how she would get on finding the fuel tank on a corolla is anyones guess.

    The Sure 'All over body' deodorant advert is simply vile.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,168 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    I hope that gimp (so unbelievable as a gas installer) in the Flogas ad gets electrocuted.

    Now that would be gas.

    The Tombola online gambling ad with Kate Nash singing, she must be hard up to do that rubbish.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,904 ✭✭✭beggars_bush


    Anything with 'game changer' in it

    The Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan 'I'll have what she's having' line now said by a youngish woman. The reason the line was funny originally was because it was said by an old biddy.

    I came in here to post about that, there hasnt been an ad thats made me want to hurt someone like that in a long time, I am physically repulsed by it. I absolutely despise people fake talking with their mouths full of food on tv. That muppet in the drivers seat is in way too many ads aswell.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,141 ✭✭✭✭thesandeman


    I see Cadbury have an ad now using someone with Alzheimer's to try and guilt us into buying their "chocolate".



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 809 ✭✭✭Dan Steely


    Every insurance company advert. Every single last one of them.

    Oh, how wonderfully altruistic they all are, just ready and waiting to jump in and save us when disaster enters our life.

    They are the masters of advertising. Beautifully crafting lies.

    Try making a claim.

    All you will have to do is show them the ad and say "look, you promised".



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,025 ✭✭✭jackboy


    That is a new low. There is an equally disgusting one about an autistic child with a missing teddy.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,656 ✭✭✭deezell


    And the home builder's one with ocd boy with his coat and hood on indoors, who is cured completely because they move into a new house. Despicable, especially if you're the parent of such a troubled child.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 163 ✭✭BP_RS3813


    You would have to wonder what stuff they are teaching at marketing college courses in todays world that has them cnuts pumping out sh*ite like the cadburys alzheimers ad



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,168 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    Because a non-autistic child wouldn't have an attachment to a teddy obviously.

    That's an ad for An Post. And I find it odd as an employee that in our app, we were all informed about this amazing ad about to be released.

    Had to sign up to the app under the guise of it being 'easier communication' with HR.

    I’ve made plenty of claims over the years and have never had any issues.

    You must be doing it wrong, or making spurious claims.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,986 ✭✭✭glenfieldman


    Well judging my the comments on YouTube, a lot of people with family members with Alzheimer’s seem to think it’s a good and realistic ad
    But I do think it’s a bit crass to advertise a chocolate product with a very debilitating disease



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,656 ✭✭✭deezell


    Just seen it. Abominable exploitation of an incurable condition in order to sell non chocolate. Real barrel scraping of Alzheimer’s memes in case you didn't get it. Doesn't remember daughter, but remembers he doesn't like nuts, forgets wife is dead. Ugh. Read this interview with Fair City's Una O'Brien on living with an advanced Alzheimer’s patient, and imagine exploiting them for a cheap chocolate bar. Fup Cadburys.

    Ad for something or other where they say 'isn't it annoying when people put you in a bucket? we will never put you in a bucket' What? The phrase is put you in a box, I have never heard anyone say bucket.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,226 ✭✭✭bcklschaps


    Surely a huge bar of chocolate (costing a fortune and packed full of artery clogging sugar and fat) is just about the last thing an auld lad with Alzheimers needs? Why not give him a bottle of whiskey and a pack of fags altogether and really fcuk him up.

    The whole point of it being mistakenly written as Joy is that Roy Keane's demeanor is the exact opposite of joy.

    It's a play on the fact that he's making a living now by being a grumpy old man.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,310 ✭✭✭bobbyss


    I am sure it has been mentioned before but there is an advert with three stuffed cats gossiping or something. No idea what the advert is for. Really stupid.

    Also as someone above referred to the deodorant spray ad. Mention was made of balls I believe?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 967 ✭✭✭The Moist Buddha


    Trivago



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,656 ✭✭✭deezell


    As Alzheimer’s progresses, you forget the overwhelming addictive craving for cigarettes and booze, and you literally forget you smoked and drank. I'm not making this up, it's both funny and sad to witness, as the personality disappears. The idea that they remember the triviality of a bar of poxy chocolate flavoured paste from 30 years ago is insulting, notwithstanding that hard core distant long term memory is the last to go. My long deceased Mother eventually didn't recognise my brother, her carer, insofar as she probably remembered him in his early teens, not a 55 year old man, but she remembered her deceased younger brother, and addressed my brother by his uncle's name, as they actually resembled each other. It was funny it has to be said, as she'd confide in me (whom she didn't recognise either but would pretend to know me from somewhere), that her brother was still as lazy as he was when they were kids (in the 20's). My brother got great fun out of playing the role of his deceased uncle, abuse and all. Rip mam.

    That Aldi (or is it LIDL) advert on the TV with the family in the car who has allegedly broken down "TRACTOR, TRACTOR" - that father is a bit creepy, I personally dont even think he should be anywhere near any kids myself!

    The other advert getting on me nerves is the Lynx (I think it is) deodrant where the guy lays on the girlfriends bed and is battered by the Teddy bears - and the girlfriend who sits on the wall and the needy collie dog runs up to her and pushes her off the wall.

    What is it with the Irish Car adverts and the car's are left hand drive and driving on the right hand side of the road and with foreign numberplates and then in small writing underneath 'some features shown not available in Ireland) - can none of these adverts be made by Irish car companies?

    Why on that bank advert with the couple first time house buyers have they replaced the northern Irish girl who said 'Ian and Sean' with a blow up pilot doll now , where has she gone to ?

    The fairy advert where the kid wants to make the spaceship , why does the mean dad make him wait so long , why dont the father be nice and decant the washing up liquid into another container so he he can give it to his son that really wants to make a spaceship , psychologically I just know this kid is gonna grow up with issues and when he is 40 or something is going to bring up that when he was little he really wanted to make a spaceship but the father made him wait ages until it was all used up!
