Not sure if it's on YouTube, but the Marino Waltz Bord na Mona ads...

Having seen ad for Tv on the itv lately I think the makers of the ad must have been reading this thread. Nearly ever ad mentioned here is used in that one ad. It's the one where the guy is hypnotized.

Huh?

Thanks! That's a recent one, but I seem to recall an older one, were there was a cat sleeping in front of the fire at the end

Made me feel all fuzzy anyway

Land Of Idiots · 15-07-2009 11:25PM

Yeah, I remember that one too but couldn't find it anywhere. That was the only one I could find.

Skid · 05-08-2009 05:53PM

Not really an ad, but it's definitely a classic ...

One of my fave Guinness Ads. From 1994

Was there once a milky bar ad where they sang Nestle as Nestles (pronounced nesills)????

I've also seen one from 1981 which uses this pronunciation.

You legend! So glad I got to see that one again.

Does anyone know what year this was aired? I'm guessing around 1989 but could be wrong.

I think Bord Gais bears were early '90s. At least, the offer was still going in '93/'94 because we moved house into our new house then and had gas installed. I was 7ish at the time and I was with my parents in speaking with the Bord Gais rep doing the job in BG office. Anyway, it was closing time and he was leaving us out but had to run back into his office for something...and came back out with a 50/50 cashback teddy bear for me!

I still have the bear; we called him Fifty; my mother used do voices for him (like in the ad - he was definitely the clumsy bearcub) and he was allowed get away with anything (e.g. breaking something while fighting with elder brother = "Fifty did it".) I haven't seen that ad in years! *sigh*

Careful, you might be lucky enough to get a glimpse from Sally O'Brien...

Hi everyone,
Anyone know where I can see the old Britvic advert with cavemen that said something like "OG KHI PLOF TE RA NEESI"? I've tried Youtube and had no joy. Any help greatly appreciated.

The one taking the p1ss out of The seven Samurai. Rumour is that the ad got taken off the air 'cos people were chucking the bottles about pubs trying to grab them the way they did in the ad.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n-bWPTGio8

Also this is the only old safety ad I could find

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2ocXmuwYU8

I really wanna find the other ones. You know the ones:

Where's granddad

(Water safety)
John, did you put the cat out? (The tongs THE TONGS) (Fire safety)
The one with the pyromaniac girl grabbing the matches off her mam while she's combing her hair.

I've never seen that ad before - but it's actually pretty good! Not too heavyhanded but still gets the message across.

Living under an extremely tyrannical regime? Don't worry: a cool new computer brand (and a chick with a hammer) will sort that out...
