    I'm a Celeb with their gross ad. Not what you want to see while eating.

    Pepto bismol - I hope the cnuts acting it get Diarrhea

    Voxi mobile - your one with 2 brains in jars talking about unlimited social media/Youtube shorts and pulling off a leotard.

    Mullers corner - both the one with your teacher in the classroom worrying about what the kids will think if she licks the lid and the 'lets get ready to crumble' one.

    Why is she eating her lunch in the classroom with them? Isn't there lunch rooms/mini canteens in most primary schools nowaday?

    The lets get ready to crumble makes me want to f*ck the yogurt at the wall.

    Miriam O"Callaghan touting her new book (just in time for Xmas) in the RTE guide. It's about... herself. In the intro line to the article/interview/free giant ad, she states she had an eating disorder and a horrible annus. No doubt caused by the eating disorder. She poured her heart into it though, and it gushed back out (through the annus?) in the book form of yet another celebrity stocking filler full of.. I don't know. I just read the headline of the online piece, then jogged on. You can read the article yourself, or buy the book, read it with clean gloves then give it as a gift to someone you'd forgotten to buy a present for. I love Xmas!

    I don't despise this one, but is the pub in Cork that Roy Keane has to go to to watch the match (I don't know what the ad is for) a real place? If it is it's a great idea by the owners.

    Maybe he's a collie? (Gets coat of person who made ad, and my own!)

    Ya. The Corner Flag pub. The outdoor beer garden is behind one of the the corner flags at Turners Cross stadium.

    As someone from Cork, I think it's cringe overload. It's Corkisms on speed. It's like a bloody cartoon.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,154 ✭✭✭✭thesandeman


    🤣. Good thinking by the owner though. I'd rather be in a beer garden than the stands.

    Every time this tosser comes on my tv, I add another month to my 'not buying from this company list' - As it stands now, I won't be buying from IKEA until sometime after Oct 2028

    Well done ad agency - You've nailed it

    Welcome to my crib, lol. The early 00's called, looking for it's reference back.

    ... and he lives in a semi D that looks like it was built in the 1970's.

    I have seen everything now! Simplicity Cremations have an ad on UK channels that features a folk man & woman singing a ballad about how simplicity cremations is the best way to go! 🤪

    Speaking of senior citizens, I've just had a Facebook email asking me to join a group called 'Old Tools'. Oh thats lovely now, that is.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,173 ✭✭✭✭Andy From Sligo


    yeah its dire isnt it … the lengths these companies go to

    Lotto ad with the group of scouse girls walking down the street and the big hand comes down and fingers one of them.

    The scriptwriter for this one, did he suffer a serious brain injury prior to writing it I wonder?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,634 ✭✭✭✭LambshankRedemption


    I listen to CNN on my phone before I go to sleep. The ads are a mix of Ireland focused and American. I actually find the American ones funny especially the ones for medication because they have to list the possible side effects. There's one that can cause sleepiness and insomnia.

    The Irish one thats seriously me annoying me is for cervical cancer screening.

    It starts with a woman addressing her friends as caillini(something I'm sure no-one actually does) and telling them how easy it is to register for cancer screening. Another one chimes in saying she just did it and it takes five minutes, and then theres "Oh my god! Thats so great!"

    Its irritating.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 8,233 ✭✭✭deezell


    It's an ad for wimmin, not men. Sure, someone has to to say OMG at some stage. Sure, y'know yerself. (That line is good in an ad for men. Real men. With Wellingtons)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,019 ✭✭✭glenfieldman


    The ad for Goal, why is Colin Lee sound like he is using a CB radio from the 1980’s

    With all the money we have donated he should have a better connection

    God that Amazon Ad is hideous your ones voice is puke inducing... No-one in Ireland has a larder.

    There's two things that annoy me about that ad. The first is, I was watching sky news one day amid reports that Israeli troops were not letting aid into Gaza and then there was an ad for Goal saying they are on the ground in Gaza providing aid…. but according to Sky a minute earlier, the aid was not getting in.

    The other is as you said it sounds like he's on a walkie talkie, when it was probably recorded in an office in Dublin. Ive heard people being interviewed on various radio stations who were on the ground in Gaza and managed a decent connection.

    The uk ads that go on for ages to get you to donate £3 a month for starving kids or injured dogs or imprisoned bears

    I can't help thinking that more money from the donations is spent on the ads rather than to do any good deeds.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,898 ✭✭✭NickNickleby


    Sitting here when I became aware of my two most hated ads playing in the background:

    Bank of Arland, "you could make a lot of money doin dat" eff off and get your fork out of my lunch.

    Laya guy with a potentially terminal swollen ankle. Probably twisted it playing snap.

    Yep, despise is the right word.

    The three old dames going down the hill on sleds. Very uncanny valley vibe throughout, AI I think.

    It'd be nothing new for scouse girls to get fingered walking down a street
