Does he throw a sliotar back over the wall at some stage, yet the ad seems to be set in England. What gives?

Piece of plastic, paper airplane and their ball.

Its been a while since I've seen those 2 utter clampits throw their Maltesers off the table on their break. This makes me happy.

"Now more than ever", another trite phrase that has been flogged to death.

Really sick of all the ads showing people's houses working from home, cooking, kids playing music etc. Seen one seen them all.

Don't worry Paddy is too thick to see through that.

sure what would be wrong with that? could be London, how do London have a GAA team if kids are not hurling in their back garden?

Think the TV version might be slightly different to the YouTube one.

They sell Irish sporting equipment, as well as American sporting gear in England

He remembers the old pre-Kraft takeover taste too well.

It's pretty easy to hate that song, tbf.

Was used in a Tayto crisps advert a while back.

I think you can still get an Irish Cadbury's bar, lots are now imported, but then you find one

RabbleRouser2k · 28-05-2020 10:13am

Speaking of bad song covers, why is it David Bowie's 'Heroes' is ALWAYS covered when it comes to charity, or when folks tend to rely on the people they happily criticise (the army, the healthcare system, teachers etc)?

BBC/ Radio 6 have an advert with the song. It's so tired.

Suckit · 28-05-2020 11:20am

Fair play to Grandad, first question is if it's the one-eyed monster.. :pac::rolleyes:

Terrible advert.

Don't hate it, makes me laugh !!

What's been grinding my gears today, we had one of the UK sat channels on this afternoon, and they are stuffed to the gills with adverts because the American shows are so short.
To add insult to injury, for at least 3 breaks during the show, every damn advert was for funeral insurance services. Talk about adding insult to injury, yes, I know a lot more older people have been dying as a result of Covid, but do we really need to have the subject stuffed down our throats with the adverts, it's bad enough having to listen to the news, without another feckin reminder during the adverts.

LiquidZeb · 30-05-2020 9:31pm

If I've to see another ad on telly filmed through a phone camera I'll gouge my eyes out.

This. Drives me absolutely nuts. It's not in any way clever or original.

Jurgen Klopp · 31-05-2020 12:11am

Really getting annoyed by that UK bank that's doing these "heartfelt" ads often with them rhyming in regards to the covid. You know the ones with their "in six months our love will be stronger than steel" cringe fest

There's one in particular of this woman with her "how's your head? How's your family? What about mum we are really missing her"

As if the ****in bank gives two ****s if covid was over in teh morning and "mum" was one payment late with her mortgage they'd **** her out onto the street

MrMusician18 · 31-05-2020 12:56am

That Tesco "New Normal" ad is getting on my tits at the moment.

In fact all of the corporate covid ones and the filler RTE ones (because they can't sell all their slots) are brutal.

I noticed it was a bit of a long standing trend in ads for banks, building societies and insurers where they have some cosy music playing while they whisper sweet nothings into your ear, praying you've forgotten about 2008 the way the Allen's pray Tim's photo gallery is no longer thought of amongst the public.

My personal least favorite is the this is/isn't us ad. You just know some gob****e in marketing thinks he's some sort of poet for that contrived, mewningless, orwellian scutter.

31-05-2020 2:27am

Whoever is responsible for coining this term 'The New Normal' should be punched in the face repeatedly.

Making two black eyes his "new normal"...

RabbleRouser2k · 31-05-2020 12:11pm

Which advert is it that's literally trying to get people's blood boiling? The Roy Keane Saipan thing? Check. The Thierry Henry handball incident? Check. (Left out the bit where John Delaney took 5 milliion euros from Fifa to shutup).

Ah but we'll include Bill O'Herlihy at the end, to make it seem sweet...
Get lost.

Weaponising nostalgia, whilst trying to get the vitriol going...get lost.

PopePalpatine · 31-05-2020 1:50pm

Is this a guessing game? I'll start with that self-appointed "best mate" of bettors Paddy Power.

Every company has to have a trendy Covid ad these days that are all CRAP.

The Vodafone ones are the worst. The one with the alarm going off at the start of it and now the one with the annoying kids singing nothings gonna stop us now into their camera phones. Oh and the poxy Aldi Covid family.

Why can't they stick on an extra programme or two instead of fooking ads advertising how "fun" this sh1tty time is?

Caught a look at the Vodafone montage of lockdown forced fun. Stuff that.

I think I noticed why it's so s***... the kid's clearly reading the lines off of a cue card. If you follow. Watch his eyes, they're clearly reading his lines.
Makes it very uncomfortable to watch

They failed miserably there so because I too though it was for Vodafone having seen it countless times now

The GreenAware ad with the 2 pandas talking. Soo f*cking annoying and grating on the nerves

Pythagorean · 03-06-2020 10:42pm

That new ad from Irish Water, urging us to conserve water, at the end of the ad she comes over all coy and embarrassed sounding when she says "and take shorter showers" Utterly contrived and nauseating.

Auld Jim Halpin · 04-06-2020 12:33am

2 Bad, 1 Good.

These two bellends and this entire series of adverts, insulting almost.

This bunch of gobsheens, guy doing the interview is about 12 and then the family in the kitchen.

I never tire of this one, makes me smile every time, every shot perfectly judged.

bcklschaps · 04-06-2020 7:46am

Sorry Auld Jim Halpin,

have to diagree.

1). I actually like the 123.ie adverts. John Michael Higgins is a brilliant actor and the adverts are well scripted. Its insurance, so its boring sh!t, but they have made the best out of it. Excellent.

2). No opinion on Cheerio's advert

3). Absolutely hate baby formula adverts. They are required by law now to highlight that 'breast feeding is best' so in effect they are advertising a product thats unecessary and at best, is a poor substitute. (before the legislation, these are the same schysters that tried to convince parents that Formula was best ...and tried to insinuate that only the poor, breast feed). Seriously, why don't they just fup off. !!

madmaggie · 04-06-2020 11:55pm

Like the poster above, I dislike those formula ads. What did babies follow onto before follow on milk? How did we all survive without it?

yeah it just seems to be an invention for the sake of it. Would wonder about the cost of it given they're advertising so prominently on tv but to a small market of new mothers. Would imagine its expensive stuff

The tv ad promoting tv ads is also getting on my wick at this stage. RTE seem to just run it ad nauseum to fill up their ad breaks between programs at this stage.

The one by RTE, Closer than Ever, where we see Ryan Tubridy giving his big spiel is really annoying.

His '"when asked what did you do' you can answer 'I did my bit'"...

And Ryan, what did you do? Oh, that's right, you stayed home for 3 weeks, with a cough, while getting paid thousands every single day for doing absolutely nothing...

You would think it's a shinking market here, I wonder why do they even bother when the formula market in Asia and China in particular is going through the roof. Irish formula is like gold dust, baby boom at the moment and mothers don't want to breast feed like peasants.

I was here to post about this one. As per post below me it's for Virgin not Vodafone. I do actually press the mute button when it comes on, something I've never done before. Suppose the marketing execs thought it was cute. I just find it infuriating.

It's like the person behind that advert secretly watches 'Billy Barry Kid' compilations on youtube...

That's the only way you could explain it. I hate seeing kids in adverts, because I just picture the pushy parents behind them.

That and the girl in the cowboy hat and striped tee-shirt is performing moves that are are wayyyy too adult for a kid. It's a bit paedo-y.

Even more adverts you despise
