Even more adverts you despise

That pun makes me feel seasick 🤢

Plaaaaaaaaaaza. Cringe cringe cringe.

How you holding up seems to be back on every ad break... :|

An animated ad on there about binning chewing gum, nothing special, other than some peculiar geometric art rediition of the gum binning person, but, at the ad close, with the message delivered, there is a large overlay caption graphic on the bottom quadrant of the final frame. It says;

GUM LITTER

TASK FORCE.

Is this for real? Is there really some expensed committee meeting to formulate an approach to deal with a tiny element of waste disposal? A whole quango? Like the crowd who built the Dail bike shelter, or the Cork Corpo knobs 'tasked' with preparing a state owned site for the building of some asylum accommodation prefabs, who spent €200,000 per cabin footprint before they purchased even a brick of each cabin. How do you get one of these jobs I wonder.

I've only caught bits of that ad but it's baffled me completely every time! I don't know any of them so I assume they're Irish celebrities and that's where the joke is, and if they were just actors there'd be a storyline?!

Couldn't tell you what the ad is selling tho so hurrah for advertising companies!

I've seen ads this year for the first time in years, I've only watched the rte player for the first time a couple of months ago. So probably 15 years without seeing any Irish TV ever

The only ads I'd occasionally hear were in my mother's house but I'd never see them

I've never seen the two johnnies apart from, apparently in this ad!

No idea who the other lad was only for it was mentioned by the other poster here

Amazing how we can have such different silos of media and content!

Ad for tesco this evening, the pineapple one.. Couldn't actually start on it I'd never stop. Must have cost a fair amount though, multiple set ups

You'd have to be a sport atheist not to have known Lee, he was part of the exiting times in Wexford (which is almost exclusively Hurling fanatical), reaching its peak under the now TV celebrity Davy Fitzgerald, with a Leinster title.

Lee probably more famous for being the first All star hurler with an Asian father. I watch pretty much any sport, and read a fair bit of all sports headlines. I have to try to limit it though, I managed to watch most of all three URC quarter finals on Saturday, and the Champions league Final while out for dinner later.

Those GAA ladies football glass wall/ uphill rocky pitch ads do my head in, like trying to guilt people into watching it even though 'it's only girls'. Patronising messaging. "Just get on with it', as Roy Keane often said, and now does nightly, in a Sky ad.

Only redeeming feature of that klopp ad is the gorgeous red head working at the reception desk.

Wait! - What! - How? …. its easy when you know how! ….

Or, do they sell them on Amazon?

It's a fairly major element of waste disposal, unfortunately.

Another very annoying advert is the A.A. one =

'' What's wrong with the carrrr''

Time it crashed.

Start searching on the DCC website so. Talk to DCC Councillors and get more information.

Work away so.

Why do they need to advertise..

And it's not like there is any alternative. It's not like Irish motorways have plazas AND Little Chefs AND Circle Ks all along the route. It's the plaza or come off the motorway and go into the small town nearby.

I made a rhetorical question earlier in the thread asking, why am I seeing ads for Transport for Ireland? Irish Rail, Bus Eireann etc. About the only competition is CityLink, who dont advertise, they just provide better services.
