Irritating radio ad

Yorky

Has anyone heard that radio ad for a car brand with a sales specialist making statements about family life?

"Family life can be challenging, dat's (that's) for shoo-oar (sure)"

It now involves a conversation between the speaker and a child..

Is this type of ad supposed to be taken seriously or is intended to be Father Ted-esque satire?

I agree. If he is a Skoda specialist then it would put me off buying one. The kid is obnoxious.

You can't blame the kid, he's only doing what he's told. I'm sure he'll be mortified in years to come.

The ad is seriously irritating though, I run to the radio to turn it off every time I hear it. Would completely put me off buying a skoda too.

Some people seem to think it's target audience "to corner the market of people with special needs"

In my view that's a discriminatory nasty way of looking at it

That precocious AIB child though- aaargh

Was going to start a thread on this advert too.
Cannot listen to it and instantly change stations regardless to the show i'm listening to.
No other radio ad has rattled me before but grrrrrr.

I almost crash the car switching the radio station every time it comes on. I've tweeted Today Fm begging them to stop

"Just ask for me - MARY!!!!"
in weird helium infused voice - ad to do with getting your choppers seen to somewhere foreign.

That enterprise train add that went on for the entire add break on news talk did my nut in. I changed channels any time it came on.

I love the appliances direct one at the moment.

The fridge is broken... Oh bollox it's going to cost me a ****ing fortune. Badly beeped out!

The ad where this toolbag keeps 'singing' 'Morning has broken'. Always change the channel! ....Has to be the most irritating ever!

I've heard it twice & turned it off twice - couldn't even tell you what it's advertising.

Money well spent.
