    As well as giving away cash for gold down in the Glossy Tracksuit Centre, Thomas Gear also holds the distinction of having the most, despicable, irritating, unconvincing, put-on accent south of Svalbard.

    I've never met him, but based on that ad alone, I wouldn't trust him as far as I'd throw him.

    The new SuperValu ad.

    "Say hello to the new Supervalu range..... with a turd off."

    :rolleyes:

    We're all in this psy-op together.🤨

    Pretty much every National Lottery advert especially those ones about what you'd do to win a few million.


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,641 ✭✭✭✭Elmo


    Walkers what that flavour?

    Everthing about it, everyone in it, the music, the logo, the product, the "famous" people mixed with the ordinary ones, everything to do with this ad annoies me. But mainly the ad is ****. The granny is even annoying.

    I hate it so much I must provide a link

    I was really freaked out as a father of a toddler by this advert for life insurance where the family is packing for their holidays and the dad is standing there with them and they are happy they have the money to go - then at the end one of the kids says ''it's not the same without dad'' and you realise he's like a ghost or something... really freaked me out.

    isnt that paul whitehouse as the ghost?

    There's an ad for some bed shop with a crudely animated CGI dog singing about how he does be "banjaxed" in the morning, but after getting a new bed "he sleeps like a log" even though he is " an old dog". Very "wtf", like something the folks at Pixar would sh1te out if they were on a particularly tight budget. It's kinda charming in its crappiness though.

    Is it an actual song that they ruined? For shame.

    There must have been some good smoke going around when they pitched the ad at the board meeting-

    "So there's a dog that's , like really tired, so he gets a new bed and he's totally not tired anymore. And he sings!"

    "Sounds cool, man." :D

    not so much an actual song but more so a standard blues riff and progression

    Yeah I think so and that's what made it even more startling . When you see a comedian such as him you enter an expectation of lighthearted fooling around. Instead his contribution leaves you with the opposite emotion but with no warning.

    waiting for the never-coming punchline if you will

    But death is the ultimate punchline

    Sometimes we forget all the bad ads we've mentioned.

    I have a query about one of those current eircom broadband ads.The one where the kid(not sure if its a boy or girl) is saying I'm bunkin, off to a festival.I'm half convinced it's that young Roma lad who was singing an AC/DC song in the first series of the all Ireland talent show.Anyone else think this?

    The sofa ads on before coronation street are awful and really weird.
    Are the two annoying women having an affair right under the husbands nose?
    and why do they take such a perverse pleasure in treating him like sh#t all the time. :confused:


  • Registered Users Posts: 237 ✭✭Kumejima


    The Velvet ads about trees, and how many more we'd have if we all bought their toilet roll. Good idea, all for it etc.
    So why do they have the world's wettest man doing the voice over?
    I almost expect him to apologise for being born, having a penis, wanting to have sex with women.... the sort of guy who ends up totally walked over by his guardian reading, humourless feminist, sex withholding wife/partner
    Dude seriously needs to man the f up.
