    It commonly applies to robots, but human CG characters (like those skating babies) are also applied.

    Did anyone watch the Irish ad for LittleBigPlanet 2? Why on earth did they replace Stephen Fry's voice for that same dude that does pretty much every other voice over in this country? They turned what was a good ad, rather grating with that switch. Its not like Fry is unknown in this country.

    I wonder if that poor bastard in the Holland and Barratts stores still gets asked by people whether if something is on sale.

    "Everything in the store is on sale?"
    "Yes! Everything in store on sale!"
    "Is this industial sized box of vitamins on sale?!"
    "...Yes. Everything's on sale"
    "Are these fat metabolisers on sale?"
    "YES. EVERYTHING IN STORE IS ON SALE."
    "What about this aloe vera cr-"
    "EVERYTHING INSTORE IS ON FCUKING SALE!!!!!! :mad:"

    They did the same thing with that Uma Thurman car ad, replaced her voice over with an Irish girl. Why bother:confused:

    It may be an old rule but in the 1980s Irish products had to have ads produced in Ireland. I think this was extended to voiceovers for foreign products.

    Of course they had classic ads back then

    I think they are talking about Shamrock Rovers not Blackburn. They are suggesting that in year X the Airtrcity league is better than the English League.

    Yeah whats the Record Breakers ad? I keep hearing it but don't know what it is for?

    What I mean is, "City" are the 2010s equivalent of Blackburn ;)

    Haha, what about Carlsberg deleting the '..and that is how we beat England in Stuttgart' from the British version of their 'probably the best flatmates' ad?

    New McDonald's ad with that smirking mouthy spiv love child of Derek Trotter and Robbie Keane - "It wrecks the cheese". Shame someone doesn't wreck him. It's set in Dublin (11 out of 10 for originality there...) Compulsory snooze inducing references to English football - Let's call the team "City", we're soooo caught up in drooling over the new (Blackburn) "Rovers", we hardly need to give their full name, and of course the compulsory smug comments about Longford from scobie Del Boy Keano...
    *Grrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh*

    I like how they have a token Cork lad just so as to include the non-Dublin demographic. Somehow I just can't see these lads being mates in real life.

    Sky Atlantic, why oh why,Dustin? I have always loved yer acting, but why are you advertising. As the late and much lamented Bills Hicks said: "If your into advertising you are all suckers of Satans (Insert word here)."

    Sorry Iggy!
    Sorry Johnny Rotten

    A kid asks its father about how rabbits are made, father doesn't know what to say and the wife steps in ...the line is that it is like car insurance because you want someone else to do it for you. Genius hey?

    I haven't listenened to this rubbish show in ages but I must agree. Anyway, a year or two back he promised to leave the country should Edna Kenny ever become Taoiseach so only a couple more week to put up with him. :)

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