As opposed to what? "Artificial food, Machines."
I think its dumb.

I like the Audi one; "Vorsprung durch tecknik".
I've no idea what it means but it sounds cool.

I haven't heard that SV one but if I were you I would have thrown cans of beans at everyone!!

That would have sorted that.

As for the Audi one, I am not sure you are saying it right but I have heard that 'kind' of phrase used in countless amounts of German things.

It means "Advancement through technology".

Best motto I heard was for Galway Hooker brewing company (it's a beer).

"Goes Down Easy!"

Used to be on their website but just had a look there and didn't see it, maybe they had to change it...

There was the spoof ad a few years ago with a pig with a spring in each trotter. The footnote was "Four sprung pork technik"

Yeah not a fan of the Subway one "eat fresh"...it's like a food safety notice!
I kinda like Vavavoom...from the clio ad...damn that beautiful man using mindcontrol to sell cars! :P

McDonald's: "I'm lovin' it"

Anyone who actually loves McDonald's food needs their head examined.

Being an anagram of "Ailing Vomit"*, it's not the best, is it?

yeah and during that 12 months you will be lucky to get 2 months decent service and no customer support until you're contract is running out:P One i dont like myself is "Centra, for the way we live today" and what bloody way is that then? Do they wanna share?

I like Nokia's "Connecting People", simple, effective and straight to the point.

I like the motto of the Banana Shack
"A frozen banana that wont make you sick and kill you"

Merck sharp and Dohme - "Safety means not getting hurt"

Piss myself laughing every day because of that

Acacia · 07-10-2008 09:48PM

My school jacket used have something like ''It's cool to be warm and dry." on the tag. :pac:

I've always thought Centra's one was cheesy, with that cringy voice-over. ''For the waay we live todaaay..." Feck off.

Brennan's ''Today's bread today." Now that's just un-imaginative.

Kleenex Tissues- ''Let it out''. Pointless advert, too.

and I bet somebody got paid top dollar to come up with them too.

Dublin Bus:

http://www.dublinbus.ie/home/

Serving the entire community

???

Why are they telling us that they are serving the ENTIRE community??? Is that just in case you are from Dublin 18 or Ballyfermot, or if you are from an ethnic minority group, you might think they won't let you on the bus!?!?!

I've never eaten anything from McDonalds, and I'm especially glad since they started using that jingle. I'm hating it.

Ross_Mahon · 07-10-2008 10:01PM

NIke "Just do it" I'll do whatever i want!
"Brennans bread, the best bread"

Bernard Dunne has a few that are crap, I think its "You can beat prices like us, It cant be dunne" something like that...

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 07-10-2008 10:02PM

Dublin Bus.... reminds me of their old one.

"Changing With The City"
Except they never said WHICH city... I always thought they might just do a good job if it was Calcutta...

Given my mental maturity is that of a just-arrived-on-the-scene-of-adolescence teenage boy, I always have a chuckle at that ad. I could do a post-watershed version of that ad! (if you blur out my face and change my voice-everything else is cool:D)

Glens - "The Exciting Vodka!" :pac:

stovelid · 07-10-2008 10:23PM

I like the Ryanair one:

We are cunts.

Might have misheard it.
