The female voiceover on the Trivago ad is Northern, either a border county or across the border.

Definitely not. I think it's deliberately nonspecific. Contributes to the blandness.

The female voice doesn't sound dub, sounds south Leinster or Munster. But god it's a terrible VoiceOver

Think she meant dub as in voice dubbing :-D :-D

How about the Coke Zero ad,where he puts the Coke Zero into the regular Coke containers at the cinema,and everybody acts like they can't tell the difference...........
Ridiculous.I am a Coke drinker,and I reckon other Coke drinkers can also tell that Coke Zero tastes nothing like it-tis actually horrible.Just the same as Pepsi Max tastes nothin like Pepsi.

I can't believe we're paying to watch ads!

I hate the likes of the vanish ads where the dub over foreign actors voices .

The ad for washing powder. Some weird looking alien child being hit by flying muck in super slow mo. But it's the music that slays me, it's some super epic awesome inspirational uplifting tune. It really has no place in that advert. And I hate it so much I end up mentioning it here.

Yeah, sparkly lady in a sparkly room, with "Niamh, lawyer" written below, or some such. I really must go and see can I sign on to their site. If I wore a suit and cufflinks, do you think they'd write "Fricatus, IT Guy" at the bottom of my video, or would I not be "elite" enough?

I'm from Waterford, and work in KK, with plenty of Tipp and Wexford people, and I can tell you categorically that her accent is not from here.

It's not a strong accent, but it's distinctly from up around Cavan/Monaghan/Louth. Could even be Meath.

Considering Trivago have about 10 different voiceovers for that ad you could all be right.

Those people are either actors or rounded up morons.

We are going to have to agree to disagree, but its definitely northern. It sounds very similar to Dr Leah Totten who won the apprentice and she is from Derry.

A waterford is accent is the one from the new aviva ad. A tipp accent is like Pat Short in bogger mode.

OldNotWIse

That new car insurance/breakdown ad where the guy is in danger of not making it home on time for his baby's bath. :mad:

I have an alternative ad. People buy their Coke.
Next scene, dude comes on screen: "Hi! Remember me?"
"No".
Ad ends.

Or to quote one of the comments on the Youtube video.

"Why does my Coke taste so sh1tty?...Oh."

When have you ever been to the cinema and seen every single person in the place with a coke, all the same size too. It would have been more realistic as well if there were some young ones acting the maggot and trying to spoil it for everyone.
'Hi remember me? I'm the prick who just served you your coke':mad:

I can tell the difference between coke and zero by its smell. If you don't notice the difference by tasting it, you should go to the doctor.

All told it would have made a better stroke awareness ad.

'If you can't taste this shít, you are probably mere moments away from a severe stroke.'

My alternative ad involves one or more audience members clutching their throat and dying a horrible gurgling death, with the last words "you b4stards, I'm allergic to aspartame!!!"

Or a version where dealing with the public everyday in his dead end job has caused him to snap 'Hi. Remember me? I'm the guy who just poisoned your coke. You all have two and a half minutes to live'

No way in feck. I'm FROM meath (ah touché) and its not a Meath accent.

Here's an excercise for you: say "is there a pewl boi" in the Waterford accent from the aviva ad. Now I think I have a very strong case to disregard any border county.

I'm sure she's also received some awful voice over training which really isn't helping her, or her career.

The father in that Bold ad is one condescending bo*locks.

'More fan-dangled stuff'

Your from Meath. Meath isn't a border county so why would you have a strong case for disregarding that accent as being from a border county? That other poster was wrong by saying the accent is from Meath, it's not a Meath accent, but it is a border county(Either side of the border).

To be honest, I think its a Derry accent. Its not Louth, and its not Monaghan.

Oh for fcuks sake looks like Coors Light are going to be running that stupid ad where the guy cant get to the bar because of people dancing around him with that nails-on-a-blackboard song for another few months again.

Imagine if someone did that in real life.

There'd be a queue of people at the concession stand demanding their money back, screaming for blood, quoting their "consumer rights" and threatening to call Joe Duffy.

I think that ad tries too hard to be funny when it actually isn't-tis just stupid.

As for the song,I'm probably completely wrong about this but is that the mega pain in the arse Lady Blah-Blah singing?
