    Hes a big pain in the arse and that ad is an even bigger pain, it really annoys me, his face, his voice...everything about him annoys me.

    I agree, I'm amazed at how many people said they like him.:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,163 ✭✭✭✭danniemcq


    oh my God that fool annoys me no end, he's talentless not funny in the slightest and seeing him 40ft tall is the stuff of nightmares


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 420 ✭✭RustySpoon


    I think he is sound. +1 vote from me.

    If God has a plan for every living creature I greatly fear His plan for me will involve me killing Hector.

    I knew most of you were morons, but Christ...

    Also, why does the Eye sell only Pepsi, not Coke? That's a major disadvantage for me! :mad: :v:

    They sell Pepsi because the company offered a better level of service than Coca-Cola Ireland. People would ask for coca-cola out of habit but would take pepsi in its place and never came back saying they didn't like it. Some people might genuinely prefer the taste of coca-cola but a lot of folk don't care either way.
    Why don't they change the add every so often?

    Because it costs money and as the trailer isn't even a year old yet, it's not going anywhere. The PTB at Eye went with Hector because they wanted something different than what the Omniplex were using and they wanted something unique that would get people talking about the cinema.

    Unless the film burns up in a projector or Hector quits the entertainment industry, we're stuck with it for the time being.

    I would never take Pepsi. Rotten stuff so I buy my own coke before I go. Their loss.

    OT: Hector sucks!!!!!!!

    And Hector's Popularity grows with it now standing at 48 liking him to 32 hating him, sorry I meant the cinema trailer :)

    I am fairly sure Hector is a 'nice' person, but that doesn't change the fact that he is one of the most annoying people on TV.

    *Sillysausage does best Hector Impression
    .......... Ahhhh, Hector here, is mise an fear, ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, I am mad I am, up the Navan posse, WAYHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY...........*

    Repeat a million times whilst poking yourself in the eye with a large twig to achieve full sense of irritation;)

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 459 ✭✭b0bsquish

    i like hector, i like the fact that he pomotes the irish language and can still be quite cool. i'd love to have more irish, it is our native language and alot of people cant even understand it, once we leave school we forget alot of it.

    i am discovering this recently, since my daughter strated school and she is taking an interest in the language. she's 4 and has to remind me of some irish words that i've forgotten.
    Well what they're saying is he's an annoying twat. Once he may have promoted Irish but now he's another TG4 to RTE English speaking sell-out who does an ad in the eye cinema.
    On another topic, I feel sorry for the projectionist who has to see that every time he rolls a film.
    "Roll it there Roisin..."

    I like him, have enjoyed his amú series, but he's really irritating me now with this add. I'm emailing hjis agent at the minute asking her to see what he says.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,165 ✭✭✭Interceptor


    I can't stand that annoying ginger b0ll0x and his rowdly-dowdly, horseracing, whisky promoting, skanger-talking attitude. He is an unfunny, yellow-pack version of Tommy Tiernan and he should get a job managing the paint section of Woodies in Athlone so I never have to see him again. In fact he should be tied to that other annoying cvnt, Des-bashing-the-Bishop and thrown into the sea where they can tell 'amusing' stories about how ironic it was to be weighed down by an annoying sack of sh1te and drowned.

    AAAARRRRGGGGHHH.

    Now look what you made me do.

    God hector is the most annoying person in the world!! First time it was barely bareable and now... He should not only be removed but all record of this annoying turd should be erased from peoples memeories. What a "$££%^%*(!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    ah he's not all that bad...

    (but then again, i haven't been to the eye since last june)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 795 ✭✭✭johnnyboy4711


    I cringe everytime I go to the eye cinema and have to put up with the ginger ninja!
    For me its the only negative thing about eye cinema,oh yeah the popcorn drink "deal"should be looked at too!!!
    otherwise comfy seats and clean!:cool: :cool: :cool:

    My best friend is from Slane, and was a few years below HECTOR* in school. He was the first man she ever had a crush on. Now she's a lesbian. So he can't be all bad.

    *his name lends itself to capitalisation


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 147 ✭✭froggie_1


    1st time i saw that Hector bit before a film i thought - this is unique and funny in a stupid sort of way but now i dread it when i walk into the cinema... its totally cringeworthy and embarrasing, i want to hide behind the seat in front of me and block my ears til its over....
    You get lulled into a false sence of security by the trailers and adds and you almost forget but then suddenly he pops up with his "WELL!"
    I can just about take it til the clown goes "Thanks Michael!" about the smokin ban. What a spanner.
    They really need to change it.

    nice quote bizmaker...i should really copyright it, as i cant find it on the other thread...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,107 ✭✭✭adonis


    people just dont like hector because he is popular, its typical of irish people. Begrudgery being a defining characteristic.
    I think hes pretty cool, if not a little ubiquitous and scycophantic...but hey...
    and he can speak irish and i would consider him a good cultural ambassador actually, he makes a change from those haughty, peer over your glasses in aran jumper, west of ireland gaelgoir types....
    so there.

    @ adonis: take a trip to the Eye in Galway and you'll change your mind fast.

    It's only after that that he really started to annoy me.
