Jello

Good god I hate that stupid ad! Makes me cringe!

Mr. Presentable

No

Am I the only one developing a serious "elf thing" after seeing that Bank of Ireland ad?

bizarrely the thread still makes sense, but it seems to be a *i hate those ads* thread by jello instead.

I'd love to oblige but I couldn't find one. In a general sense, I find that individual ads are impossible to find online unless they're absolutely phenomenally controversial or successful. Irish ads for banks never really fit the bill in that way...

There's a discussion here though: http://www.sin.nuigalway.ie/boards/viewtopic.php?p=446540&sid=83a5a6c8a7dd208fa6fde005df7013cc

I find her ears revolting and those digitally enlarged eyes are just freaky looking. Shes just gross.

I need pics of this elf.

that's an elf?

looks more like the lovechild of a gremlin and tinkerbell.

It looks like someone crossbred that girl from the old PS2 ads with a rabbit.

BlitzKrieg

it does remind me strongly of those ads your right. Right down to the interview style and the *wow* something supernatural acting as your typical yob.


nothing new move along.

It's a weird ad alright.... but good for the bank (seeing ye are all talking about it)

patrickolee

i used to live with a girl who looked slightly like her... ears were a little more normal of course.

Hadn't seen it. Not sorry I missed it. The girl looks shiny and sweaty. The paper thin huge ears aren't attractive either.

ctc_celtic

i'd give her one:D

Exactly what I thought when I sawr it first. "Oi doint even know where phibsborough is''

and a bat.

I suppose sexiness is all subjective.

zuutroy

Someone posted her in the 'hot people in ads thread'. I gave them what for...she's no use, and damn annoying to boot.

there's no lovin' like elf lovin' - tshirt anyone?

Wertz

That f*cking ad gives me the creeps. Yer wan is probably better looking with wings where her ears should be than she is IRL and I'd hazard a guess that her twitterings are every bit as dim witted as they are in the ad.
Who in BoI thought this was a good campaign?
In light of their CEO getting a bonus of 3 million odd quid, it makes the aspirations of our little elf look like pissing in the wind.
I hate corporate sector Ireland and the likes of this ad enforces that loathing...


[edit] good call on the PS2 ad....thought it was the same girl myself only the accent is wrong...

Keep away from elves... they only break your heart. I know this from bitter experience.

thefinalstage

Its a sprite isn't it?

Karl Hungus

Not so much an elf as a pixie or nymph, isn't she?

melekalikimaka

nyphs and pixies have wings dont they?

Nevyn

The ad being a take of the leves and the shoe maker then she would be by that stories definiation an elf.

Tav

It's a fairy <.<

Wertz

It's a feckin' monstrosity, by any name...
