Crinnui na nOg - no more words needed

I heard a 'normal' sounding young lad doing a decent ad today, but I really can't hack the precocious Billie Barry school type kids...I reckon it's Tubridy's favourite ad right now.

I remember this one from last year too... It's not just the voices that bug me, but the listener has absolutely no idea what this ad is for!

Take it and shake it because it it what you make it......

Probably just on Dublin radio stations but the awful ads that are on every bloody ad break, for Vinny Byrnes. No idea if that is the correct spelling, all I know is I will never buy anything there thanks to their irritating ads.

And I have ranted aplenty previously about ads where a 'd' is put into a word, such as Trin-a-dee (Trinity) for which there is a very long ad running at the moment. Or should that be 'ad the momend' :rolleyes:
I sometimes have to switch off the radio to ease the pain.

Haven't heard it on Radio 1 or Today FM, must be a Dublin thing. I do buy from them regularly enough, not sure about the advert but I can tell you they're delivery times are awful even with 'express' delivery!

The ads are a couple discussing various jobs around the house, and the answer to everything is that shop. It sounds like amateur dramatics, extremely amateur dramatics gone wrong, and not at all convincing.

I used to follow him on social media but around the time he retired his output turned to into pure advertising. Seems to be the done thing with retiring or recently retired rugby players, I guess they need the income but you get enough ads on social media as it is

The bathroom one is bad but the absolute worst one at the moment is the smug American git who is buying a Skoda (I think) 'All you have to do is open your tablet/yawn like you've never yawned before.....blah, blah, blah' It is truly painful to listen to.....

I hate it even more than your one from Cork who is at least my own age (old) and calls her mother 'Mum'!

And that other Yank berating his fictional child. Forget which one it is, probably insurance.

Yeah I know the ad you mean...can't think who it's for either. He seems to hate his kids, especially one of them...calls them lazy I think? Bizarre ad.

The Eir mobile advert. Is the voice over guy trying to say Ireland because it sounds more like 'our land' or 'arland', I'm confused?!

I don't hear many radio ads, and when I do I rarely rmember what they're for, but I did hear a Dublin man this evening selling his services to kit out my "batroom". I thought the ad was a bit too niche for my liking. How many listeners are going to have a room for their bats?

What's the advert running currently with the talking car? An interviewer asks 12-D-12345 it's history to which the car replies in a thick bogger accent about all the misdemeaners he's had. Surely if they want to go this route of thick farmer paddy car the reg should be C, KY, CW, LS etc etc.

The DSPCA ad:
"your pet is your best pal"
If you say so...

And an offer to make your will for "free". That doesn't sound at all suspicious coming from an animal charity!

It's awful, could someone not tell him there's a H in bathroom or get someone else to do the voiceover? Plus he says it's loads of times too, gets on my nerves. It's like when Rachel Allen did the obriens saMwiches ads.........nearly as bad as saying sangwich.......

Seems pretty straightforward to me. Person gets their will made for nothing as long as the DSPCA is a beneficiary in the will. There is prob a min amount although I'd imagine it's a reasonable sum which would stop someone leaving them €2 to get the free will.

I think it's a great idea.

I haven't done one but I thought standard practice was to go to a solicitor if you needed advice. From some of the corruption which has come to light in Irish charities recently, I wouldn't be advising an elderly person I know to use the services of a charity for something as important as a will.

I'm pretty sceptical about charities myself. It's not the guy that mucks out the stables that does the will.

MAKE YOUR WILL
DSPCA 'Online Will Service' is a free service available exclusively through this DSPCA website.

The free service includes drafting and support from O’Shea Barry Solicitors, and is available to anyone on condition that they include a bequest of at least €500 to the DSPCA within their will.

There would be boggers from all over phoning and moaning if it were specified to a more rural area in particular.

PHRoss... There is an actual H in their name and he can't even pronounce bathroom. He says it so many times, his employers must be using his lack of elecution as an ad gimmick..

Somebody on another thread thought the lad in the dopey crocodile Ad had an English accent - to me it's just another variation of the Dublin 'whacker' accent. Crap Ad too.

Dickie10 · 12-06-2021 11:13pm

awful awful ad. Its a funny accent i sad before that its similar to Paschal Donohue , theres definitley some form of "Irish/Dublin having living in England/London for a while" about that type of accent, John Kilrayne from RTE News has it as has Sharon Horgan the actress. the guy sounds like hes opens his mouth way to much when speaking, if you know what I mean
