Can we get over the Vodafone/pigman/Suuue obsession please!

Specifically: less of the personal abuse/personal comment about the fella who plays pigman. ...his age...his appearance...etc etc etc

Yea I agree - the ad is so annoying - but you've got to love the cat. It has to be the best cat-actor ever. Watch the scowl and the way it flicks one ear, and then the other, just as the ad ends.

Hmm...

Anyway, those poxy Bord Gais ads. Now, I didn't reeealy mind the one with the 'Do giraffes eat cake?' chick as she's kinda foxy but the new one with the baby is the absolute pits.

"Now, we're on" (Six Million Dollar Man noise). Feck off!

From Dublin you can fly directly to none of them.

Hence precluding the possibility of pre clearance. So, we're back to the original point.

Would it be true to say one in thirty ad's are good, clever, amusing ? Club orange ad with the Spanish guy is bad.

That Bord Gáis ad with the woman and her baby is doing my head in, and the stupid voice the narrator uses. :mad:
I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't get the Carroll's ham ad....though I guess it's doing a good job if it has people talking about it.

Lidl "no need to go loco if you've given up the cocoa"


Lidl: Have YOU given up cocoa and chocolate? Don't worry you can still eat all this sh1te
You: Eh no I've given up SUGAR which is sky high in all of your icecream, tarts, and cheesecakes you're singing about
Lidl: la la la la lahhhhh digs in fork
You: Oh shut up would you

I can't believe that Lucozade ad hasn't been mentioned here yet. Not sure what it is about it but the whole smug half Scottish accent of yer man narrating it is pretty awful and then there's yer wan sitting at an office desk at the end who lipsync's the narrator saying "niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice", she looks like the last person in the world who I'd expect to drink Lucozade

From Dublin you can fly directly to two of those destinations, Mexico and Jamaica.


Someone should really contact the advertising regulatory authorities though.

I agree,she looks like a woman that "fran the man"should have out the alley.
When she says niiiiiiiice its the stuff of nightmares.

Jaysus I agreed with you, but I don't agree with your extreme personal abuse for absolutely no reason. Sometimes nothings better than the ignore list.

I apologise. I actually came back to delete that comment but you'd already seen it and commented. Truely I am sorry, thats not normally how I roll. I'm not a morning person.

In the longer version theres a bit with a guy serving people at a kebab shop or something like that and hes twirling those metal food handling thong things causing bits of food to fly around the place,puts me right off my lunch.

That little **** from the AIB ad..."I have my own bike and I'm not afraid of hard work."

And that creme egg ad....just creepy. Not funny at all.

The New Supermacs one with Pat McDonagh and Sean O'Brien going on about the beef quality in their new 5 oz burger, pure cringe.

Seems a bit excessive with the only USP being they don't freeze the burger.

I also hate that bord gais ad with the hipster baking....we'll give you 100 euro back.

Ehhhh...so basically I'm lending bord gais 100 euro? WHY?

Not quite a tv advert but that short intro to Tonight with Vincent Browne where we see Vincent Browne sitting beside what looks like someone's bedside staring silently at the camera with a slightly Mona Lisa-like hint of a smile on his face. It all looks a bit spooky to be honest. Can't figure out the significance of it all.

Always! Nothing can stand in my way, cause I'm a strong woman goalkeeper - last shot of course of a woman jumping in the air, legs apart, in white shorts. We get it. No leaks.

Muahahaha

That shot was originally the closing shot of a much longer ad promoting TV3 and all their offerings. The began showing clips of Ireland AM, then Midday, then the TV3 news then Red Rock and then that shot of Vincent at the end signifying the end of the day as his show is on at 11pm.

Agree with you that it does look spooky but its Vincent so its kinda funny. You just know he is moaning at the director for asking him to even do it.

That ad is so weird, the empty stadium, the sh1t music etc...

I'm not a fan of that LIDLY women's football add myself. You'd think with technology they'd fill out the stadium. It's bad enugh that the grounds are fairly empty in reality but it kind of detracts from the point of the ad in my mind to see empty stands!

It's an annoying ad in general though. It comes across as whingy and all I end up thinking is "We put as much work into our training and matches as the guys but nobody comes to see us", which was exactly what I always thught when ladyball was shown on the news anyway. I'm not a sports nut so won't be going to see either the girls or the boys play so it's lost on me in general anyway.

EXACTLY the same feelings as me. Thought I was the only one. "we just need what every player needs, support". Crying inequality.

Muahahaha

Yeah the Lidl ad is a bit daft, but its got Sinead Goldrick at the end of it *swoon*
