    The new Texaco ads with the Americans talking about their American cars.
    "A Texaco text message from Brad/Chad/whatever..."
    In what way is that a text message and why would I buy petrol as a result of this ad?

    yea, definitely with you there, Brad/chad is a bit of a dic&-head. Exactly how putting a particular petrol into your €500 heap that you've put €20,000 worth of stereo equipment and a few light strips into protects your "investment" is beyond me. But I drive a Toyota, so that makes me Mrs Sensible anyway and they don't want my business.:D

    There's one where the guy makes the snow in the yard and goes "Merry Christmas babe" as she looks out the window. I'd fuppin' love it if his naked brother peeped out from behind her, up in the bedroom window. Now that would be a funny ad! :D

    Don't get me started! :D:p

    An absolutely brain dead ad. Do these people actually exist? I know there is artistic license at play here but even that is suppose to represent some people in society.

    The tosspot in the ad creates 3 foot of snow in a small shed. Please, make it 7 foot, enough to bury you and rid the world of your annoying, self satisfied existence. :mad:

    One more thing regarding the snow-tosspot..... any guy I know would be well fed up with such a high maintenance woman as that (saying "surprise me" is just woman code for "it had better be something no-one else has EVER received or else you are for the road boyo!") . So most men I know may well have gone to all that trouble to get the snow into her front yard.... but they would definitely not have been able to resist the urge to PISS the words Happy Christmas into the snow for her to read for herself. But then my ad wouldnt have much to do with fones and maybe the men I know are all oddballs. Id still prefer them to that git though. He should grow some snowballs, dump yer wan and get himself a real woman.;)

    One reason that Brad/Chad/Tad/Nad might sound so cheerful is that his litre of Texaco costs him the equivalent of 45 euro cent in Bunghole Nebraska, whereas my litre of Texaco costs me €1.19 on the N7.

    How bout Texaco cut the spending on sh*te , smug, irrelevant-to-the-market advertising, and using it to kick-start the plan to knock a few cent off the price of petrol here instead?

    It's petrol for f*cks sake. Brand loyalty me bollix. 50% of our purchases depend on where we are when we're seconds away from running out of fuel; and the other 50% on which of you have the cheapest product. We dont give a tuppeny crap about Brad/Chad/Tad/Nad's sound system, we care about which forecourt billboard has the lowest number on it.

    It's a stupid ad.

    And what is this big snow of 81 your man is going on about.

    Everyone knows the Big Snow was 1982. Check out this thread - vodafone contacted a boardsie about using his photo but instead they went with a silly photo of a "big snow" that never existed :confused:

    This is how I see it.

    I got this here. Obviously being a woman this peeing in the snow thing is new to me. Excuse the handshake. You can pee your own vodafone ad like I did here. Maybe we can suggest something useful for the folks at vodafone?

    Those Injury Lawyers For You adverts with Johnny Allen from Eastenders. Who thought it would be a good idea to get a guy who plays the baddie in every role he's ever had to be the face for a company supposedly trying to win our trust!

    Yes, that's correct. I know some Danish people and that's exactly how they speak.

    I must say I'm fond of Danish people but their language sounds pure weird. I've heard someone compare it to someone with a speech defect telling you they're choking. I reckon they're not far wrong. If you get to know any Danish people, it will not take them long to try and get you to say their favourite tongue twister: "rødgrød med fløde", which is the name of a dessert (red berries with cream).

    Check out this video:

    My ma actually thinks that's a British woman trying to do a Danish accent.
    Wouldn't be surprised if that's the case.

    Been a while since I've witnessed Irish TV ads, but there was one over the christmas for some bed company with two sumo wrestlers fighting and bouncing on them. A bit homoerotic and completely bizarre.

    The PC World ones- only two nine nine , save 100 euros!!!

    Hate the British accent on it aswell. Suppose saved them money on VoiceOver artists and they passed the savings onto us!
