"I went past and they seemed full"

a)He must have some eyesight to see the bottlebanks are full from his car
b)His voice acting put me in mind of Sir Anthony Hopkins at his finest....not.

An ad for some play on in the Gaiety, its revolting.
Some actress reciting some crap in the worst, (what I assume is Kerry) accent I've ever heard.

I don't want to live on the same planet as this garbage!

Is that yer one sayin "i'll be the boss here..." and all that? Did you hear the lads on off the ball playing that and steve staunton together? It was quality.

On levels of annoyance its right up there with the god awful Tom Crean ads.

bohsboy

The constant mention on Newstalk of Faichney (Fake me) Ringwood.
Sounds like a wind up!

All this makes me glad I don't listen to Newstalk. I wouldn't know Ray Darcy if he came up and bit me on D'arse.

You don't listen to Today FM either then ?

Where he works

The actress is Aisling O'Sullivan, from, eh... Kerry.


I do agree though. Its a bloody awful ad.

Like the Tom Crean one its putting me off going to see the play.:(

If it's an ad for 'Big Maggie', the John B Keane play, don't let the ad put you off/ I saw it here in Galway a month or two ago. It's excellent!

Hold the phone - she's from Kerry? I went to see the play - it's excellent, as is Ms O'Sullivan, but I can't believe she's a native of the Kingdom.

'Close your eyes' , he's annoying alright pity he can't just retire from all radio work for good. He's 80 something years old at this stage.

DB21

Scary ****. The last two ads talked about came on, one after the other, as I was reading this thread.

fricatus

Can't stand that CIMA qualified accountancy ad with yer man from Spar: "Oi've aaalways bean attracted to de cuut an' truust of business. Druiving de Spaaar braaand, blah blah blah..."

Somehow he reminds me of Bill Cullen...

xxyyzz

The new toyota auris ad where one guy describes the car in American slang and the other guy translates. Why???

Welsh Megaman

One ad I find funny (although probably not in the way the makers intended) is the ad for Right Price Tiles with the woeful Bruce Forsyth impression. So bad, it's good!

NIMAN

I see "I'll be da boss" advert is back.

Sweet Lord. If ever an advert made me NOT want to go see a play, thats it.

The man was meant to be retiring last year ..... he's in the media about 1000% more now than before he retired.:rolleyes:

ootbitb

No Nonsense ad with some ott bird swooning over Meatloaf:eek:

Access

That fecking one for "The night Joe Dolans car broke down".

AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! :mad::mad::mad:

My brain hurts from it being on every six seconds on radio one!

Although i think it finishes up this month.

Lapin

Some ad doing the rounds for FBD insurance at the moment.

It involves one of the voices speaking as though they have inhaled the contents of a helium tank.

Very grating, cuts right through my eardrums.

As soon as I hear it my chest tightens and I feel the rage building inside. What I try to do then is to take deep breaths and calmly reach for the dial before I hurt either myself or anyone in the general vicinity.

Joy is BMW.

tinyjiney

"Close your eyes", that bit used to be followed by something like "Go on, I mean it."

Apparently the RSA complained about the amount of accidents it caused and it was shortened to it's present form.

No nonsense ad where the womans in the butchers. There worst ad yet

Its like something that the first 3 firings from the Apprentice would throw together. Classic example of an ad being made by a non professional.

europa11

O Chhhhrist!

That fckin' TV Licence ad is back. The one with the smart-ass annoying kid telling her mother.........:(:(:(


Mona!!! that's it. as in feck off Mona! :mad:

Kumejima

I quite like the Fiat Doblo ad "There's an IMAGE! in your BACON!..."

But is it actually Chris O'Dowd or some guy channeling him?

dulpit

Mona. Fishcakes.

Part 1. For real.
Part 2. Apparently ;-)

KerranJast

There's some ad for some baby related crap with some obvious ad voice woman have a breakdown "will I ever get my life back.." blah blah. It's enough when real life parents annoy me with their kid related BS without the radio doing it too.

For Forks Sake

Focking Morkeshing Awards..........

Going Forward

Ad for some pricey hotel:

Remember the password is "Cheers".

Funny......not.

Going Forward

Any and all of those idiotic 118.... directory enquiries ads.

Note to Nicola Byrne omnipresent CEO of the "Irish one":

Why do they ALL sound the bloody same, if we knew which one was the "Irish one" we might support it.

neris

Mespil hotel are back with another round of tripe. Some bog warrior app developer whos app hasnt actually been launched yet

Rte ad for the 6 nations and the ad for the gaa this weekend both sound the same

dulpit

Netflix ad that's like a detective investigating dead person. One voice sounds miles away from the mic...

europa11

Same with that 11-8-90 ad.

Whatever effect they're after with some guy talking through a cardboard tube just isn't working. In fact it sounds barely intelligible.

barneygumble

The ads for MyHomeCare.ie which sound like the death rattle of the Celtic Tiger.

A woman breezily informs us that she doesn't have the time to check whether her elderly father takes his medicine.

Hope for her sake she never gets sick.

Yes the tone of the ad and the couldn't be arsed attitude displayed by the woman in regards to her ill father really disturbs me. I'm of the opinion that it is a child's duty to take care of their parents when the time comes.

Genghis

The Plaza Suite advert running on Newstalk bugs me. Narrators intonation 'will have you (pause)(adopt LOL mode) ... rolling in your seats'. Does something similar earlier in the ad also. Very annoying.

dulpit

Has anyone heard that ad for the Smash-hit Hurling/GAA comedy stage show thing... Why? Why? Why?

the music is mangled too - I suspect it was phoned in. Literally.

Snake Plisken

The Toyota Auris ad with the Black American dude! Both on the Radio and TV actually the Radio ad is more annoying as he's talking about it being a Bong or is that a bomb! Anyway it's a crap ad campaign!
