the little girl is brilliant but the rest is eye gouging

after seeing it loads of times I only started noticing the girl slowly turning around at the 21-23sec mark to see the face on "the wagon", like she knows exactly what she is at.

It got ad of the week on this site

yeah watch the advert from the perspective of the girl, the head role is the best part, be interesting to know if that was her touch or was she directed.

I should also hate the Lucozade "Find Your Flow" ad - it's been running for two years now, and I don't drink the stuff.

And yet I don't...

I like the bit where yer man is on the treadmill and the lady walks past and he tries to get a sly look but falls off and does push ups when she looks around. Although they rarely seem to show that part now.

Edit: 20 odd seconds in.

very good, never noticed it before, saw him looking and falling off but not the pushups. I am usually half watching ads on the tv with a laptop on, and so miss stuff.

Shame lucozade has gone to crap, they reduced the sugar so stuff like coke or 7up has more "energy"/carbs/sugar now. I knew 2 regular drinkers who gave it up.

there were warnings to diabetics about it http://diabetestimes.co.uk/hypo-warning-over-lucozade-sugar-reduction/

I think it was pretty poor form, they know fine well diabetics drink it and should have had warnings or at least explicit signs on the bottle. My tesco were selling both types alongside each other during the phase out.

Disappointed shoppers slam 'horrific' new low sugar Lucozade that tastes like bleach and has potentially deadly risks for diabetics

Other half reckons the line on screen at the end 'find your flow' is like something from a tampax ad.

Is it just the orange flavour? I go through 2-4 bottles of original flavour a day. Did notice a change in taste a few months back, but it's not that bad. I still like it.

all of them as far as I know, some places might have slow selling stock of some types.

My tesco had the full carb caribeann crush version, but seems it was just the old one as it now shows as low sugar/carb

If you are not drinking it for energy, and do not mind the taste then you might consider it a good thing.

It changed apparently due to a "sugar tax" in the UK. I think they would be better off bringing out the real original again, and charging more. I wondered if that was their plan all along, get free advertising and calculated backlash.

The Mueller ad with the rapping bears. I love it!

Autosport

Aldi’s new Kevin and Katie ad.

Go Harvey Go

"Oi, Churchill, can you save me money on my car insurance?"
"Oh, yes!" (ding!)
"And can I have my own personal chauffeur called Les?"
"Uh, no." (uh-uhhh!)

I think that new Volksvagen ad is brilliant,the one where the kid goat is born and it is leading and dictating everything, and hunting the sheepdog away.And a brilliant soundtrack to it too,Lenny Kravitz "Are You Going To Go My Way".

I also like the Electric Ireland Xmas ad where me wan is talking all emotionally about a Kashmir throw that she got as a present from her grandmother,and how it was passed down through the family and kept for generations..... but then all of a sudden she stops being emotional and says that she didn't keep it and that she swapped it for a foot spa instead!!

SusieBlue

I love the Bord Gais Christmas ad, where the woman returns the scarf her Aunty got her for a foot spa Normally I hate cringy ads like that, but I love this one.

silverharp

my current favourite is "..I switched it for a footspa"

Some Kenco ads from the '90s with the wonderful Cherie Lunghi:

It would be nice if RTE or TV3 did a 'Top 10 Irish Ads' type show sometime, there has been some really good ones. Personal favs would be the 'Coming Home' ESB one and the Bord na Mona one featuring the Marino Waltz.

Heard someone in a pub who had his own lyrics and the hook line was "Dancing around the kitchen to the Bord na Mona Waltz".

Yeah that's the one I was thinking of.

jojofizzio

Don’t even like the ad itself but the guy that appears in it and voices it (actor
Luke Evans)makes me want to “visit Wales”!!

Jim Bob Scratcher

I love the new Dulux advert

madmaggie

I like the new Aldi ad. They made separate ads for here and NI. Same format, but adjusted for the two different markets. Many companies treat Ireland as a region of the UK, so well done to Aldi for putting in the effort.

Doctors room ghost

I haven’t liked an add since they took the kia ora add off the Telly.kia ora chuggy chuggy chuggy chuggy kia ora.its too orangey for crows it’s just for me and my dog.and that wasn’t today or yesterday.they don’t make them like that anymore

Italian ad for beer
