Do you think maybe the attendances and interest might be connected to the historical low levels of funding? It's interesting to note the fragility of the male egos at any kind of leveling out of historical privileges though.

Not the smartest marketing approach to alienate the many cyclists out there with the tired old message that
a) cyclists are geeks
b) people only cycle when they don't have access to a car.

I like aunt Viv.

Each time she visits, she keeps an unaccompanied L driver off the road.

Who says she was unaccompanied. Seems just 1 car so maybe the father brings her. That's a bit like the dublin cycling club who got offended as she looked unhappy on a bike

I didn't get that at all about the cycling. I saw it as she could not continue learning and having the car. I will give you she could have had a better bike

I would consider it in relation to League of Ireland rather than in relation to Leitrim Football, or in relation to Irish Cricket or Basketball. In terms of popularity and funding. FAI really should try to use that privilege a bit better.

The ad is as bad as the AIB Minors ad.

The Sunday World ad is cringey. It's like trying to sound like a hard man in Dublin but without the substance.

Noticed this last night. Cadbury's "There's a glass and a half in everyone"

Should it not be "There's a glass and a half in every one"

As said before the new Coca Cola ad is nauseating.

And the Snickers ad with your man screaming is pure shoite.

If an ad doesn't make things reaaaaally obvious, then it's a failure.
See: Oral B where do dentists go to brush their teeth (AdCo101, 2021).

I giggled at the "Not a real monster" in-between-real-fineprint fineprint on the telly the other day. Now that's a successful ad.
Can't remember what it was for.

The Audible ad is ridiculous. First time I saw it, I managed to piece together the Logo and clues and got what they meant, and I'm already an Audible customer. If I didn't know about Audible, the ad would leave me completely clueless.

You haven't noticed that the intonation has changed from in every one to in everyone since they reduced the size of their chocolate slabs? (previously referring to the amount of milk)

Baffles me how ad 'execs' are let away with this, as much as the tv 'execs' who line them up for airtime. They should be made to watch it 50 times on a loop before clearing it for broadscast.

The ad ends by introducing the new tagline – "There’s a glass and a half in everyone" – which refers both to the glass and a half of milk in each bar of Dairy Milk, and the spirit of generosity that exists within people.

they probably had to legally change it since the bars have shrank so much!

castletownman · 02-03-2021 7:02pm

I think Tommy O'Canary's move into more commercial pop music has backfired. He has sold out.

Someone debated on here whether his earlier songs were catchy, and all I'll say is I was at a stag last year and broke into the 'it's colourless, it's odourless, it's hard to detect..." classic. Right craic

Back to annoying ads though, those chaps that refuse to come in for dinner in the Dolmio ad are back, and they really need a kick up the hole.

They could have saved themselves a fortune by just cutting the grass on the old field, moving the sheep and playing ball!

Surprised given that so much of Stepaside, Kilternan and the surrounds have been built on massively with little or no planning that the same didn’t happen here, but that’s a thread for somewhere else.

Great memories of Playing there and watching my Dad and sisters play there too. Good times

Sorry for dragging the topic a little bit sideways but I have to agree with you . Probably over thirty years ago since those great times . Most unique pitch where BOTH ends were uphill . A defenders dream .
We travelled there every season during the junior league at a time when " getting a black " referred to your eye rather than a card . No place for the faint hearted .
Great matches , great shimozzles and great sessions afterwards in Johnny Foxes . Lovely part of the world.

Good point - could so easily have been done by having an N plate instead of L.

Assuming that the posters of the cycling forum are representative of cycling is just as foolish as assuming that the posters here are representative of TV viewers in general.

That's all a bit convoluted for me, tbh. I just don't quite get why someone within the GAA family would be worried about ladies teams getting additional outside funding for a while?

Have just seen the Paddy Power Cheltenham ad for the second time, I think I managed to shut it out the first time. Utter utter tripe. Bordering on the offensive.

Beechwoodspark · 05-03-2021 8:50pm

That new paddy power ad. Awful.

How the hell did they sanction this

Beechwoodspark · 05-03-2021 8:53pm

Just for further info

It’s an overly long ad showing a footballer (Peter crouch) getting dressed in boxer shorts while horse racing commentators give updates and comments on his appearance

Then he goes into his sitting room to watch racing and Ruby Walsh is on the tv big smarmy grin encouraging Irish people to bet money on him

tv3tg4 · 05-03-2021 10:15pm

But the insurance ad about the chip on the windscreen is awful.

Shocking....running commentary on how ugly he is.You'd wonder how he and his wife would go along with this , it's one thing sending yourself up a bit but this is ridiculous. He is probably the best looking person in the ad....maybe that's supposed to be the joke?

Precisely, even if he is ok with this, it's not an acceptable way to talk about a human being.

I'd give them a pass on this because I think they're trying to sell us a family, and the first advert showed the daughter to be clumsy and messy. I loved that advert because I am a total clutz. But growing up it was always "boys will be boys" and girls were just "careless". I think they're showing us a "like father like daughter" thing and I can get behind that. It's refreshing to see a girl shown in a role like that.

Gen.Zhukov · 07-03-2021 11:13pm

Its4women ad.

Daughter leaving house goes to the 'key fob bowl' - picks up one of two similar fobs. Stands at her car pressing the button while her ma's car is flashing and chirping behind her and she doesn't cop it.

The ma comes out: 'You've taken the wrong fob again. That's the seventeenth time this month'

'Oh I know, I'm a ******* ditz. If only there was a way to tell the difference'.

'Yeah, don't know what would work, it's a hard one to figure out'.

Neither should be allowed to drive on a public road.

That ad should be banned, not just for the annoying tone, but because of the willful destruction of Malteasers.

It's my personal belief that act in itself should be banned and carry heavy penalties. Never mind not paying your TV License, imagine having to explain to your boss or spouse that you were summoned to court because you were seen willfully destroying Malteasers? Maybe a heavy fine plus the shame would be enough to deter people from doing.

There's an odd trend in Maltesers ads that they choose to destroy them rather than eat them in the ads themselves.
