Can't stand that guy on the ad for a property auction. In Galway.

I like the inshurdance ad, where the wife has planted herself in the garden shed, studying all the latest price plans, with the spiders in her hair.


I bet you'd ban me if you could.

I hate it but at least the woman is portrayed as the stupid one for a change.

I've a Nokia 3310. I want to go into a Mercedes garage to see how it manages to unlock a car.

Say Your Number

While we're on Mercedes, this radio ad pisstake always makes me laugh.

mattresses delivered dot ie

The stupidity of this Bargaintown is breathtaking here

There's already a company at mattressesdelivered.ie (some ****e shopify effort)

Then they spend loads of money on advertising a name that differs only by a "hyphen", your man even says it "don't forget the hyphen". Surely they could have come up with a better name aaaahhh

NIMAN

That Sunday Business Post advert, which likes to tell us how great they are.

They say they have changed laws......anyone know which laws the SBP got changed?

This! His accent is hilarious.

The bloody Nutella ad is back.

whisky_galore

Some hotel advertising itself as a venue for business meetings is starting to grate; every management speak cliché in the book.

NIMAN

Anyone heard the new RTE2 radio advert for Heinz soups?

Its got the female voice that does a lot of adverts, no idea who she is, but she has racheted up the irritation levels on this one. You'd nearly think it was a spoof advert, her voice is that grating and high.

Brendan Bendar

Those two tools out on the golf course are back.

Should be buried in a bunker with a sand wedge lodged in their hoops.

And whats with the radio voice dragging out the sunday at the end of the ad " ...on Sundaaaaaaaayyyyy".

Mr E

New Vanonomics ad. As bad as the first one. Yeah Yeah.

djemba djemba

Why would anyone think the ceo of donegal catch would be a fish.

justincasey

Hi Ben Dune here 50% better than fly fit blah blah

jk23

Two words... Betty Boo!! 4fm really pushing their competition but it's getting really grating

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

The news talk ad for the most un funniest podcast ever made. It’s on all the time. Every single break.

Mr E

Yep, it sounds awful.

They aren't exactly doing a good job of selling it.

It was the only ad on that entire ad break it was so long !

Del.Monte

Brady's Family Ham to the tune of "Come out ye Black and Tans" - who thought that was a clever idea?

Another that moves me to commit murder is the one for Brokers Ireland and their Award Ceremony where brokers are 'honoured' for their efforts. God help us, what's that about - do they get VCs or Knighthoods for their brave efforts. :mad:

Mahell

"Alright lads: mintil matts!"

justincasey

Jammer jammer jammer ... so bad

Harry Palmr

That Brady ham and must be costing a fortune to run, how often is it on!?

mzungu

Just heard the Brady Family Ham ad. They must be minted if they can afford to use up an entire ad break.

Most ads should be under 30 seconds, especially on radio. It seemed to go on forever.

I timed it this morning at approx. 3 minutes. Either they got a great deal or they have seriously lost the plot.

Ol' Donie

Grraaagh.

Just because there's some load of b*llocks hirse racing "festival" this week, it doesn't mean you have to do your ads for motor cars/windows/snackfoods/literally any other product or service in the style of a horse racing commentator.

Jesus.

………..the latter! Its only ham FFS!

Have we heard this extended campaign before?

I have somehow avoided its latest incarnation, but I'm almost certain they've bombarded us in this way before.

I may however be thinking of the McDonnells' curry ad. I think McDonnells have done something very similar on TV, taking over entire ad-breaks.

It's as awful as the tune they're attempting to parody.

The lyrics in the original are far superior.

Skoda ad and other stupid company ads - english old man voice: "there's a 0% chance". Smug git.

I will never buy anything featured in a Deirdre o'kane ad. The current one is so bad and they must have let her write the jingle too.

I quite like her voice. Some of the things she is asked to read though ....

Mr E

Yeah I like her voice too. The ads are awful sh*te though. Who pronounces lingerie "linger-ee"?

Think it's supposed to be funny, it's not.

Her voice is grating. Would break glass.

They must have blown their budget, there's the reduced version now.

Wall to wall Deirdre O Kane last few Newstalk ad breaks, she's as funny as a hernia. Pushing the quirky button a bit too hard.

George White

Does anyonewho the Skoda voiceover is?
AFAIK it's the same guy who doesall of East Coast FM.

Skoda is Brian de Salvo.

That makes sense, with the Wicklow connection.

NIMAN

There's one of the voice over guys sounds like Leo.

"You won't remember unblocking the sink but you will remember the Titanic sinking" - Ad for Titanic Visitor Centre in Cobh which has been moved by Failte Ireland to Ireland's Ancient East. :rolleyes:

L1011

Sunday World ad - which I've never heard advertising on radio before, but it was on another DOB property - managed in one ad to both be utter ghouls about those Northern Irish kids killed at the disco and vaguely imply that Kathyrn Thomas and Blathnaid Treacy were marrying each other (when they are in fact both marrying men). All in 30 seconds!

whisky_galore

Chronically unfunny ad for Newstalk's comedy slot.

Happened to catch the show, it is indeed as rubbish as the ad suggests.
