    Stating the obvious I wondered why they were plugging a Ford car ;-)

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    I hate this Allclear travel insurance ad on Sky News. It's on all the time, before and after the weather. Pair of smug twats. There's a couple of variants. And your one is always kissing your man on the cheek.

    When renewing my car insurance recently, I got a quote from them also. They were the most expensive.

    That must be Nigel with the brie...


    She is such a micro-manager. Piss off and let people do their jobs.

    How many more times are they going to show Roy Keane and the jobsworth steward.

    She stops him and says 'full house' with everyone else behind him strolling in to the ground.

    Oh dear, Henry Pollock, the debutant England back row, in an ad on Premier sport for some brand of sports underpants. Various shots and angles of his bulge, climaxing in a voice over which declares, "Protect your Pollock". Polllocks, Bollocks, get it? Dreadful. Never mind the Pollocks, its his arse needs protecting after the hiding Gibson Park and van der Flier dished out to him last Saturday. The golden boy hadn't the golden balls in the Aviva. Maybe he should wear his underpants on the outside.

    The Skoda one where the hapless family moving in - they probably have a podcast on kale or something - are being tracked by the lunatic locals as they arrive in The Valley of the Weirdoes, never to be heard from again.

    "Neighbours seem nice" remarks the mother, while having just become the quarry of the coven and its beige-coloured leader.

    Mr muscle flexing his!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 275 ✭✭mcgooch


    Probably been mentioned before, but Angela Scanlon in the An Post ad - "d'ye need a hand balancin' all dat?!" and the facial expression she makes.

    It's like nails down a blackboard for me at this stage.

    That accent in Solgar vitamin ad is very annoying. Sounds like they didn't bother getting an Irish voiceover artist to do their ad for them and just got someone to put on Irish accent.

    My bad. It was of course at the Allianz, not the Aviva.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,954 ✭✭✭Deep Thought


    the Mutti advert where they got rid of a real Italian and replaced with some chump speaking in a crappy Italian accent

    The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 8,452 ✭✭✭deezell


    Is he not the same fellow in the previous ad who chased after the tractor, diving and catching a tomato that tried to do a runner off the trailer? He looks like him. Maybe its an AI version of him. There was a toothpaste ad the other night, the two woman were either wooden actors, or it was AI.

    That one on the toothpaste advert where they go 'overtime you loose your whiteness on your teeth' and she's disappointed - but her teeth still look the same bright white!

    Three's 'Threesome only plan'. Very progressive (Three Sim Only Plan)

    Who is paying for all the tai chi walking and sitting adverts. They are everywhere online. Youtube in particular. Vast majority of them are shite ai adverts too. Seriously there can't be that much money in the tai chi walking for over 50s for dont exercise business.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 8,452 ✭✭✭deezell


    Next it will be tai chi eating or crapping or the like. 100% AI nonsense, there must be an ulterior motive, even if its just ad response metrics analysis, assuming they can measure how long watch etc. There was an epidemic of ads with a beardy oul lad sitting in his shorts on an ugly chair lifting his feet, that seems to have abated.

    An ad I actually like, the father and daughter (I think) playing Blink 182 on piano.

    My-ay Yah-KUUUUULT!

    My-ay Yah-KUUUUULT!

    Friendly Bac-TEAR-E-ERR!

    Makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a spoon.

    Not an advert per se but product placement. The ITV Cheltenham coverage is on at the moment and I see some clown as part of the presentation stsff decked out in a Paddy Power scarf. It really looks awful.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,905 ✭✭✭✭thesandeman


    That was actually Paddy Power being interviewed 😂.



  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 11,589 Mod ✭✭✭✭squonk


    lol fair enough. The sound was down in the pub I was having my lunch in.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 8,452 ✭✭✭deezell


    I'm glad I won't have to see that Colm Meaney Cheltenham ad again, at least until next year. Really cringe

    That ad for Concern.

    Now let me be clear here......I cannot stand seeing people suffer.

    But what really annoys me about that ad is the way he sounds like he's guilt-tripping Ireland into trying to solve the problems of the rest of the world

    Siúl leat, siúl leat, le dóchas i do chroí, is ní shiúlfaidh tú i d'aonar go deo.
