I think this new Heineken ad is patronising ****e

    I think this new Heineken ad is patronising ****e and doesn't reflect the real world. Ends horrifically with female bartender gazing lovingly after some muppet who smirks with self satisfaction just because he says no to another drink.

    Mind you, Heineken know bloody well it's ****e as if we all listened to it they'd sell less. Nothing in this ad makes we want to buy Heineken anyway, in fact it makes me associate annoyance with the brand now :)

    Am I alone or do others think it's actually well thought out and responsible advertising from a leading brand? Oh, and the wimmin in it make me puke too. Real world I see, you're more likely to see young wans comatose on shorts than blokes out of it on beer!.

    Women don't want drunk guys?

    When I'm out and not drinking I get told I'm weird.

    If less people drink, her job is at risk. Not a bit of sense in her head.

    He is out having a bottle of Heineken.

    She's not much of a bartender anyway, she never took the cap off the bottle before plonking it in front of him. It's no wonder he wanted nothing to do with it.

    Ctrl + F for "heineken" on this page: 6 matches.

    But yes, this is indeed a terrible ad which in no way will cause enough controversy to get the word "heineken" plastered all over the interwebz this week :rolleyes:

    That ad is just weird and cringey

    Wait a minute OP.

    You're complaining about an advert in which women are portrayed as being disappointed and are expressing their disappointment in drunken men.


    This thread is a woman complaining about women complaining.


    Ladies - remember this thread. store this in your tiny brains. THIS IS WHY.

    Because women never drink too much and the world is full of women taking care of their pathetic men who've drank too much :rolleyes:

    Such patronising sexist bull.

    I like it. Wouldnt drink a few pints of it now, one or two be grand, can give me a dodgy stomach if I have have more.

    The guy in the bar was right... It was clearly time to put the Heineken away and move on to the vodka and redbull at the next venue.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,853 ✭✭✭✭silverharp


    so the words of the song are that the women are "holding out for a hero til the end of the night", so basically they are rejecting all the guys all night until the hero shows up? any wonder the guys just got drunk.....

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    Heineken ads havent been the same since Freddy Heineken (the big boss) died.
    He liked to get involved in advertising and had a good sense of humour.

    Absolute twaddle, making fun of white men (20-35) the last group you can make fun of and that its politcally correct to do so.

    Heineken - piss anyway, even worse then Budweiser or Miller .


    pure piss.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,327 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    I see 24 packs of Heineken are being withdrawn from sale.
    Oh wait...

    Exactly. They'd never portray women like this. Blokes are easier targets. Pathetic ad.

    pure piss.

    Speaking as a white man between 20 and 35, I hope that poor advertising remains my subgroup's biggest concern, rather than racial abuse, the threat of sexual assault or any one of a dozen other issues my gender and race discount.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Shítty advert for shítty beer.

    Well I think it's below suicide, work-place injury/death, poverty, earning less than t'other gender, poor health and education for us. But still a concern no doubt.

    I thought you meant it was patronising because it was portraying women as like something off Sex and the City or something :pac:

    Honestly I couldn't give a shìte for what way an advert portrays men, I'm a bit more secure in myself than worrying about what way some advert for that piss portrays men tbh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,966 ✭✭✭✭syklops


    I am so outraged I am boycotting Heineken from now on. Never will I allow a drop of it past my lips.

    Ive worked in a pub for 90% of my working life, we dread drunk women and dont get me started on the ladies toilets on a Sunday morning. There was a dirty protest in one of the cubicles last Sunday week. Give me a gang of drunken lads over 3 drunk women any day
