Along with the actresses who play Vivienne and Niamh on Fair City.

Oh and Robin too .............if she is still in Fair City Its been so many years since I watched the show (she had just gotten together with Jimmy) I'm not sure if she is still there or not.

Most ads on the radio are annoying.

I would say people whos best years are way behind them & get offended at the word "mickey" being used in a comedy sketch so an unfunny beached whale is safe & hilarious for them

The same people that think that the 'Mrs Brown's Boys' comedy is funny.

I didn’t think it was possible for Zurich to make an ad more annoying than their previous ‘My broker says, my husband says……’ campaign. But they’ve surpassed themselves with this ‘Letter to my 30 Year Old Self’ bollox.

I think the most ironic thing is that if anybody now was to actually speak to their thirty year old self they would probably say "Dont put ANY money in your pension, unless you work in the public service or semi state, as you will lose your b*ll*x".

Does anyone notice the new Tesco ad seems to start mid-sentence, like they've cut off the few seconds of it?

KBC have been campaigning across all media in a big way lately.

They are desperate to show a cuddly side after the whole "harassing the suicide widow from Priory Hall " thing.

KBC can go rot.

i stopped listening to spin cos of that eurocycles ad, it irritates me.

and that manhattan popcorn ad seems to be making a comeback, a bag of popcorn and a soft drink, and lifes grand. it doesent annoy me like the eurocycles ****e, i just think its stupid.

the NRC and KCR ads are deadly though! yer one that does the talking at the end of the NRC ads is on flying form!

Sean Moncrieff saying 'snakey' for Rabo is cringeworthy.

Don't take the piss out of us lad, we know you're this super enlightened modern liberal who likes to make out he's an all round 'Oirish' guy by incorporating all those bored housewives living down the sticks texts into your show each day but don't carry that over to your ad work please.

It's not funny and it turns me off banking with such an institution. Whats he going to say next? Shemple SHtadium. :rolleyes:

Tiler Durden

Do ye know who I miss?

Daft Dave from Right Price Tiles.

"Munkaaaay!"

Hasn't been a good radio ad. since.

Rubberchikken

agree, daft dave from right price tiles just brilliant.

but the best ad on radio for me is the last ad before the show returns;)

Niles

That 98fm 'get up out of bed' song is getting in on my nerves...

CriticofScience

Dunno what that "Shi-ine ..... ohn........youuu" is all about, but its wormed into my brain. I prefer Eurocycles to be honest.

that grinds my ****in gears. I'd love to smash her face in. Chillax o clock my hole.

Another thing that winds me right up is the amount of ads that use sound effects to underpin what they're peddling e.g. maybe you want to buy a car "insert sound of engine starting". I know what a fcuking car is, there is no need to make the sound of one so I'll understand you morons.

Don't know what you're talking about here, but that's a first class rant.

There is a growing amount of ads that use the sound effects to illustrate better what they are talking about. For example the current RSA ad for getting your car serviced before winter. It goes on to talk about checks you can do yourself, such as checking your washer fluid is topped up (no sound effect here curiously), checking your wiper blades (the sound of a wiper blade swish), checking your tyre's air pressure (the sound of compressed air being pumped), checking your lights (the sound of the light-left-on ding ding).
There's a few other ads doing the same thing. It really gets up my nose. It's like people don't understand anything unless there's an accompanying sound.

"An 870ml bottle of Fairy could last up to 10 weeks"

Yeah, if you live alone, eat out of takeaway packets and wash only 1 cup and 1 saucer per day.

But for the rest of the real world people, it'll last about 3 weeks.

Is your kitchen a foam party when you do the washing up?

Fairy liquid lasts for ages.

I guess a predicted 8% rise in DIRT tax by Noonan doesn't count, ya poxy bald Shlap Head.

Radio5

The new Seat one with the shouty Sargent Major type. Brutal.

SNORBEAST

Also, Today F.m seem to have Mario Rosenstock doing voice- overs on every advert, there is on running at the moment for the Munster rugby match that is particularly cringeworthy.

The Velux Price Promotion ad guy annoys me so much. Patronising price promotion pisshead.

It sounds a lot like Joe Rooney doing the voiceover. Probably hasn't gotton a paid job in Comedy since he was Father Damo.

Seriously they need to kill off that Ad campaign, it drives me demented with the plinky plonk sex in the city music and stupid put on American accent woman! aaaarrrrrggggghhhhhh:mad:

ivytwine

Today FM are currently running an ad to highlight their news department. It's the 'highlights' of the budget.

It was bad enough sitting through it once, without having to hear Michael Noonan take 'Easter 1916' out of context again and again

Superquinns French Food and Wine Promotion.

X% off French wines. Fair enough.

Also, why do Superquinn keep using regional variations on the theme to Rocky as their promo music? By now it just sounds weird.

The ad where some property spiv longing for a return to the good old days, tells us that international asset stripping vultures are "taking notice" and circulating around rotting corpse that is the Irish commercial property sector

Never has a lump of baked of flour being filled been made so dramatic until the bagel factory came along and ott.

Going Forward

Ads for "Business Shows", (particularly where they say "thee"" instead of "the") on TodayFM and RTE, the eager, affected voice promos aimed at the eager, affected and gifted entrepreneurs, who no doubt will down tools to tune in..................:eek:

There's some show on in some Dublin theatre that's (apparently) like 50 shades of grey, if it's made for people with thick Dublin accents. Why do they need to reduce themselves to such rubbish?

Get off my radio!

They're like pantomime accents. They must drag out the worst person at accents to do those ads. There was one a while back for A Streetcar Named Desire. If the accents of the characters on stage were as bad as the one doing the ad, it must've been dire. Surely it would make sense to get someone good to do the ad.

Radio5

Mark Huberman seems to have voiced everything on 2FM. V.repititive.

The new promo for the Tony Fenton show on Today FM is cringey.

"Don't replicate the dude, dude"

I like Tony the man, but Tony the DJ is way, way past his sell by date

Tiler Durden

The ads for Bobby Kerr's buisiness show on Newstalk. Christ on a bendy bus, you can just see him jotting them out himslef and sniggering away, thinking they're hilarious.

Bobby Kerr + Newstalk = change channel quick.
