Bertie Ahern (AKA Nob Nation) on Spar ad, they don't tell you it Bertie and it isn't a good impression.

:mad:

I think the reason they dont tell you its bertie is that because its supposed to be Joe Duffy...(according to the radio today, at least) Still an abysmal impression though.

I didn't realise it was Oliver Callan doing it. He should really stick to being a professional Enda Kenny impersonator. On reflection, it is really the only voice he's good at.

That AXA ad. Rep gives the guy a quote, he seems to have some sort of blackout/fit and she re-introduces herself (this is at the end of their conversation, remember) with what sounds like a major sh1t-eating grin in her voice "Hello.. AXA etc here".

Her voice grates on me.

Cannot stand anything with babies in suits or drunken-sounding children (the Chill.ie ad).

Love the new Volkswagen ad though.

Busi_Girl08 · 21-01-2009 7:08pm

The Partini ad.

"Funtini!"
"Oopstini!!"
"Flirtini!!!"

Piss off-tini!!!!!!:mad:

And that ad for the toilet cleaner or air freshener or something with the annoying kid.
"Mummy, I want to do a poo"
"I want to do a poo at Paul's house"
"Im going to do a poo at Paul's"

How much do ye think he is going to get beaten up when he grows up?

You know what I find completely dumb are the RTE ad's.. ON RTE! WTF? WTF?? Maybe if it was advertising a program like.. I have seen the 'Fuel your imagination' ad about 140 times, And the Lost one once.

Surely the owners of abrakebabra care and they want people to eat there, hence the advertising no matter how bad!

No way is it Joe Duffy. I am only guessing it is Oliver Callan.

The Radio ad for spar features an impersonation of Bertie Ahern as a backbencher. (I haven't seen this on television yet, but of course that doesn't mean it isn't on.) but the TV advert for spar currently running on Irish Telly channels does feature an impersonation of Joe Duffy.
It was mentioned it in jest the other day on his radio show.

Edit : And yes. They are both very poor impersonations.

If the Spar ad that I've seen on tv is a Joe Duffy impersonation then I hope they didn't pay the actor because it sounds vaguely like Bertie but nothing like Joe.

I heard the radio version of this ad today, and it's worse. I think he is trying to be Bertie in that one. More annoying than the telly version.

That Pat the Baker with that fool at the end with that accent going "Its Pat the Baker!!!!".... fair annoying.

LordSutch · 23-01-2009 12:05am

That stupid bloody Car advert with the silly stuffed cushions with painted faces making noises & driving the car

Whats that all about ?

I also find the 'Andrex Toilet pape' advert' very annoying (the one with that stupid little boy in a suit)!

And relax

CutzEr · 23-01-2009 6:40pm

I ABSOLUTELY HATE the 'Unique' ad.

Brown jackets €30
Denim combats only €30
Crappy clothing €25
Some horrible jeans €40

best thing on tv is the ads. only part of the box that is actually good, the rest is load of balls........... im sure when i say this ill get a torrid response from the commuinty but tv in gereral is another mans imagagination same as the ads but at least they put an effort in to what they are selling. progammes that air are just an addict personality of the adiunce. corrie eastenders etc, there bull.... a load of nonsence driven at an audience who are to lazy to get off there arses and use there own imagination.

think back to 500 hundred yrs ago or more if u care, u think if they had tv we'd have the thec we have today. would we fcuk. they wuouldnt give a 1/2 about us which i think can be true of todays standard.

at least the ads are driven at a market, the tv progammes aired to promote the market of ads that it is driven at.

if there was no ads there would be no tv. lience fee wouldnt pay for it nor near it.

so next time take more care in ur chioce of programme as its audince is designed to sell the ads. not make entertain u as u may think.

happy advent............

Bondvillain · 23-01-2009 9:13pm

Funnily enough, there was an ad for tinfoil hats just on ......

There's just been an ad on for Cadbury's featuring what appears to be two special needs children with unfortunate facial twitches.

It made me uncomfortable, and not a little queasy. Can we have the drumming gorilla back please?
