Worth every penny. Empty sentimental nonsense that makes no sense. Lik dis f u cri evrytim

That new Opel ad with the snotty little brat going "Can't you afford an Opel?" at his smiling neighbour. Two reasons;
1. He's an annoying little see you next tuesday who's looking to be persuaded to mind his own business. And
2. The dubbing on that ad is gruesome. Not sure what sort of financial figures General Motors are posting in recent years, but surely they can afford to produce an Irish ad, filmed in Ireland and using Irish actors.

Such a fabulous example to set for kids anyway, compare your wealth to your neighbours, and be sure to remind them of their inferiority while you're at it.

I really hope someone from Opel Ireland by some miracle happens upon this forum.

Has there been an ad so universally scorned of late?

A million to make and 6 million being spent on advertising slots . It's big big money, I think this year there's more ads then ever before.

I doubt they care. If they were seriously concerned about what Joe Public thought, then they surely wouldn't have allowed that ad to go out in its current form, would they?

Another one for yous (probably already been nominated but I'm too lazy to trawl through the thread); the McDonnell's curry sauce ad. "Rain, grass, chickens, veeeeggggg-tubbels". I wish physical pain on that gobs***e whenever I hear (never mind see) him.

It's, like, so authentically Indian or wherever curry comes from

Just saw it for the first time.

My response was that that yung fla would benefit from a brogue driven hard up his hoop.

The infamous poo at Paul's ad?

I think the opel one takes the biscuit though. Bad enough you have that little arsehole sneering at yer man, then you have daddy cool coming out to give him a smug wave goodbye, accompanied by some ear wrenching soundtrack.

Awful, awful stuff.

It is truly a wretched piece of advertising. But.....it's worked, I guess. Let's face it; we're all talking about it, even in a derogatory way. We're calling it "the Opel ad" so brand awareness has been achieved.

Borders no.2

I'm sure this has been mentioned but I hate this ad with a passion, especially the smarmy look he gives at 0.25 or 0.26

At least since the VW scandal, they're not going on about how German they are.

Dickie10

what noise does a train make? what noise does mammy and daddys car make? it got that annoying that they cut a bit out of it and just got to flogging the car. what age is the child supposed to be anyway, ? terrible ad.

However that ad caused murder, but in fairness even when I was in school they wore skirts that short so its not portraying anything that isn't real!
