MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Someone should make an ad where the woman is portrayed as the stupid one.

Like they did in the '30s, '40s, '50s, '60s and '70s?

Any comedian ad where they telling "jokes" complete with audience laughter. Kevin bridges one is the latest one I hear

Mr E

Based on that Kevin Bridges ad, I think I'd spend most of that gig nudging the person beside me and asking "What did he just say?"

Yeah sorry I forgot it's not about equality it's about men being thick cünts all the time.

Yes, but anybody with an ounce of comprehension gritted their teeth at those, too. The advertising industry was, and still is, a disgrace for firstly perpetuating stereotypes and now trying to create them to shift more product.
I suppose it would be too much to expect some ethics in advertising.

Ethics in advertising. A totally brand new concept brought to to you courtesy of the Boards.ie Radio forum.

Hopefully, this will take on a global scale.

Some other irritating radio ad gimp contenders:
1. That bloke from the Bord Gais ad's.
2. The bloke goat from Bothar (although he is just a seasonal irritant).

The Toyota Hybrid ad... 'I bring my kids to school' (or something like that) in the most doom laden tones.

An attempt at being overly sexy are these Hyundai ads. I can't stand how everything is over exaggerated to sound alluring and sensual

Every shagging morning after the weather slot on RTE! "Discover why". Sorry, but discover what why? Why you're such an annoying twat with your faux sexy voice probably.

Don't ask me what it's for but the one where the couple are talking and it goes something like this:

'It's something....definitely to...'
And then the foreign fella says '...definitely SOMETHING to consider'
And the woman goes: 'Well NOT to consider, to actually.....do. Because it's what you do for one another'.

I think that might be a life assurance one?

I didn't think there was a foreigner in the Ad - just a pair of gob****es who 'aren't in that place, keep going, keep going'....another appalling , parasitic Ad preying on people's fears.

No matter how low we have the radio on in the background at work one thing always gets through, that bloody McDonald's whistle jingle. Hate it.

Ol' Donie

I don't know if it's because I'm listening more and more to podcasts, and watching BBC & Netflix more than the other sh*te (RTE being the only exception), but I can't tolerate ads at all anymore.

I used to have Newstalk on all day, now it's Pat Kenny and Moncrieff and almost nothing else.

How many minutes of every day did I spend listening to ads for cars and health insurance?

Really, if there's 3 mins of ads every 15 mins, and let's say one of those is for Toyotas or BMWs that I will never, ever buy (I'm certainly not going to be convinced by a depressingly condescending radio ad), that's 4 mins per hour, or almost an hour a day if you leave it on till after OTB, just on cars. An another hour on f*ckin Laya healthcare.

That's intolerable nonsense.

Listening to too much trash radio (incl.Ads) is like any other addiction/habit and when given up we wonder why we ever did it. Like I've said before, back in the day RTE's morning newshow was done and dusted in less than ten minutes including 'what it says in the papers' and the weather forecast - were we any worse off? Now RTE and Newstalk drag it out for a full two hours (!) of sexual chemistry, inane banter and little of genuine newsworthiness.

Sorry for going off topic.

Mr E

There is an ad for Dacia which seems to be on during every ad break on Newstalk.

Dacia terrible ad. Tee Hee. :rolleyes:

There are a few different ads on local Cork stations that have English voice over artists who pronounce Cork as Coke - so such and such is Coke's most popular destination for whatever.

DRIVES ME INSANE.

I think it's the only ad I've ever had to do that for

There's an ad on from time to time on Sunshine for a slot machine place I think in Dublin. Jowann is asking Berniee ( I think that's her name) is she going away. Yeah says yer wan. Vegas for the show wes and de slots. It's dreadful. Worst take off of a howya Dub accent ever.

Don't go back to all day Newstalk.

Now it has 2 hours - yep, two whole prime-time hours of Ciara Kelly whining with that really irritating vocal cadence. She was very good in the GP slot before Hook clumsily stepped on a landmine.

I listen to PK until 12 then I listen to something else until her show is over.
Moncrieff is radio chewing gum but rarely more than that.

PK persuaded me to 'Move the dial' and now CK is making me move it again.

Did anyone hear that ad it's like childern rapping about drinking more milk, I almost ended up kicking the radio out the window

The new one about disposable coffee cups, smart woman vs. sleazy sounding man... thinly veiled 'Don't be (a) Dick'.

Jesus.

Mr E

Yeah that's not good. Awful ad.

Copperface Jacks is the first one in a while that makes me change radio station.

Breaston Plants

The ad for Chill insurance, yer wan doing it has the most annoying shrill voice.

Drink miiiiiiiilk, drink miiiiiiiiiilk! :pac:

There's been a lot of ads on both TV & radio about milk lately. The rise of Almond/Coconut milk etc must have the milk industry pretty shook.
