    Does Gabreil Byrne do the voice over for O2 Broadband?

    Terrible ads in general.

    The new Baileys ad with the woman singing along to bits of either "Baby it's cold outside" or "Let it snow".

    Really annoys me for some reason, grrrr :mad:

    There's some programme on Irish tv at the moment being sponsored by a furniture company, there's a terrible bit of a guy pretending to take photos of his family on the couch and they're annoyed or something. Hard to describe but it's very irritating to watch.

    Also has anyone else noticed that Garret Lombard (Scobie, Pure Mule) is doing voiceovers for half the ads on tv. See the new Opel one as an example. I just can't take him seriously, and then he says something in German too.

    I like the roller skate babies!!!

    I hate:

    1. The awful VHI ads (cartoon ones)
    2. The furniture ones with Celia Holman Lee
    3. And worst of all: an ad for something I don't even know what it is: The 3e plan or something with silly american/irish accents

    Yep, there's a thread here somewhere about that crap ad.
    I thought if I got sick in Kenya, it would be Oh My God, but it was brilliant.
    :rolleyes:

    Here's the thread. :)

    We're all in this psy-op together.🤨

    That new Niquitin ad with some bloke called David McDonnell talking about giving up the smokes. He's got the most annoying voice ever.

    I need a fag after watching that mong talking about quitting.

    The ad that's most getting on my tits recently is the 'Sony' ad advertising their sale... but mostly for that f*cking dreadful song!

    "SONIC.. BOOM.. BOOM.. BOY!!"

    That wan from cork who got sick in Kenya.
    She says something like " I dreaded getting sick somewhere like Kenya, but it was great. The very same as being sick in cork"

    makes me want to kill for 3 reasons

    1. She enjoyed being sick
    2. Kenya and cork are pretty much the same anyway
    3. Her uglyness

    And shes on ALL the f**kin time....

    Do VHI now just get the people on their books with the weirdest stupidest sick stories - and put them on tv?
    Next they'll be using "ALMOST" Darwin Award winners to advertise their insurance - which might go something like this;

    "when I was holidays in Spain, I decided to go running with the bulls through the streets. I know I have an underlying heart-condition, and just got a new knee, but I was still shocked and suprised when that bull attacked me, and ripped off one my testicles. Luckily for me though, after the bull grew tired of walking on my rib-cage and the paramedics arrived, I only had to say one word - VHI - and I didn't fill in one form. I actually couldn't fill in the form anyway, so I had no feeling below my wrist for 2 weeks. But the cover and treatment I got from VHI while recuperating in Spain was like being at home in Ireland. I love you VHI - now give me free health insurance for the next 5 years for doing this advert"

    That's the worst ad on TV. Someone even started a Facebook group about it. There's also a thread in this forum about it Here.

    She makes it sound like getting sick enhanced the experience.. what a load of crap.. She's probably gonna change to Aviva like everybody else now that the VHI have put up their costs again.

    There's nothing Darwinian about the current ad anyway, as the woman survived and she is certainly not the fittest.

    What about this new Salsa fitness (or whatever the God-awful service is)? Your one starts off speaking in a D4 accent, then it morphs into a Californian one towards the end- when she says "fabulous" with that rolled l.

    And the other one with the whiney backing track and the box stuck to you man's hands.

    In fact, all ads about giving up cigarettes are painful! Just remembered another one with some bint being chased by tools in lifesize cigarette costumes.
