    Well he was dropped from the Saturday night show so I guess he needs the dough. :D

    That's the only time I've ever agreed with a Facebook group wholeheartedly.

    The man's offensive. Not anything he says, just his very existence.

    What a turd - why did anyone think it was a good idea to have him present a chat show? Surely chat show hosts are supposed to be pleasant and have some modicum of personality?

    It's a good ad in fairness. The hilarity of him smiling as the cashier! lol

    His face is somewhat like the underside of a scrotum.

    Rather unnerving thing to see Brendan o connors face staring at you when you're shaving your bag im sure. (suppose it'd be worse if he was holding the razor)

    No. No Mace shopping for me

    His smiling looks so awkward and forced. Possibly because it very much is!

    It is a funny advertisement. O'Connor is just an ordinary guy unlike NAMA or Ango Irish Bank.

    I know it mind sound a little bit picky but does his hair drive anybody else nuts? I just think he is the most ridiculous looking guy. Were him and Tubridy cryogenically frozen around 1952 outside a shebeen in the west of Ireland and realesed a few years ago?

    Maybe he just means we spend too much time hating people for silly reasons when we could be hating the people that are fcuking up our country. Brendan o connor annoys ya so you hate him? Meh I grew out of that when I was 14.

    I think what supermonkey is trying to say is that we are diverting our wrath from where it really belongs, i.e. with the guys who are stealing money from our wallets? I think thats what he's hinting at.

    Was thinking the same thing... a bruised, punched scrotum... with eyes.

    I'm no fan of Brendan O'Connor but I think the ads are good. Whats the point in hating the dude, if you don't like him, switch over.

    Sounds to me like a challenge to turn this thread into a massive off-topic mega thread..

    I hated potato salad for years, for no reason, i'd never tasted it but the idea of cold potatoes made me feel sick..

    Then one day last year, i tried some and loved it!

    Now i really like potato salad!!

    But now I can't shop in Mace or else they'll think the ad campaign is successful and they'll make more of them.

    you do know that O'Connor has been one of the most vocal proponents of the changes in stamp duty that helped cause the property bubble?

    In fairness though people justify bringing up NAMA and "de bankers" in nearly every thread for that very reason - it's really irritating and there's forums already in place to discuss the economy. BOC is a gobsheen of the highest order and that ad is really.. perplexing - why hire him for a supermarket ad?

    Very true supermonkey.

    Good ol' Brendan say what you like about him but he's in no way similar to a bank or the National Asset Management Agency.

    Oh, ok.

    Sorry.

    I didn't know that we were not allowed to find anyone annoying and irritating unless they have caused economic ruin to the country.

    Not being allowed to have an opinion on people? Yeah, very mature. :rolleyes:

    The only good thing he's ever done is give Linda Martin some much deserved abuse.
