    Do they not listen to the ad before they release it.

    Could be someone from Waterford doing the voiceover. After all, if you order a burger here in a pub or restaurant, it will usually be offered with chips and "SALIT" :D

    It is Shay Byrne RTE Radio 1 voicing this Covid ad. Typical of him, he mentioned it on Rising Time!!.

    That covid ad with your wan Niamh from fair city see tries too hard to sound like a 14 year old. I have to turn the radio off every time it comes on, the more covid ads she makes the more childish she wants to sound, if it goes on any longer she’ll be sounding like a baby.

    That other climate change with some woman with a very mournful voice moaning about saving the planet.

    Some "diversity" ad at the moment. Can only make out one or two words in three as the voiceover races incoherently to finish her spiel in the allotted time.

    This is the woman. Ruth McCabe was in the film version of Roddy Doyle's The Snapper.

    She does or at least used to do all of the TG4 ads, which I really liked. I like her work as Gaeilge, I'm not so much of a fan of her work as Béarla!

    The new Tesco ads with Britney Spears "Oops I did it again" underscore. I can't even imagine what the buyout fee for a Britney track would be...........

    Tesco are hardly impoverished. I'm sure they can well afford it, even now.

    I am aware of that.

    Perhaps I should have elaborated - does the significantly extra money it would have cost to use Britney’s song over say a song by an unknown artist or a piece of stock music improve the ad at all? It’s not so intrinsically linked to the “action” that it was the only song they could have used either. Just seems a waste to me tbh.

    I don't know what the track has to do with what's going on either, any old musak could have been shoved in there. It's their money anyway.

    Heard this morning on the radio - Peugeot cars: "Unboring the future". Sounds like some air-head in Peugeot's sales and marketing department is trying to sound hip and cool with another annoying ear-worm of a pointless slogan. Peugeot, do please fornicate yourself off.

    I don't get it? It's pronounced "on pust", not "Ann Poe-st".
    Haven't heard the ads, does she say it weird?

    Hyundai has a similar 'morketing' inspired slogan which thankfully escapes me now.

    Hate the 'live well' and 'wellness' bullcrap of health industry ads.

    Can someone tell me what a "Christmas Mega" is? Not a "mega sale", "mega deal" or "mega promotion" etc., but just a "Christmas Mega", because Arnotts can't be arsed with proper grammar.
