    Have the AIG adverts with the 2 weird looking blokes on TV got to be the most strangest weirdest cringe-worthy adverts on TV at the moment? - in the latest ads one of the guys is sniffing some kit he's just ironed and looks likes hes getting off on it! - How would this form of advertising make anyone use AIG insurance? just wondering like.

    I hate them. With a passion.

    I cringe every time I see Dublin players in their ads.

    How anyone ever thought it would be a good idea to have those two weirdos (the two AIG lads, NOT Bernard Brogan and Danny Sutcliffe :p ) fronting such a downright strange ad campaign, is beyond me. It really is. :confused:

    ....in a bad way! - in fact to be quite honest me personally if i were it invest money in a financial institution that advert would put me off dealing with them because is so dire! - not true that saying 'all advertising good or bad is good advertising' - there are some realy good ads on TV at the moment but these AIG adverts are just ultra weird

    Oh For Gods Sake just when you thought they couldn't get any worse, the latest one with the horse, and where they are holding up the Bumper! - #nowords

    To actually think Marketing people actually get paid a days wage (+Bonus most probably) for producing these sh!te adverts makes the mind boggle - are AIG Insurance not actually ashamed of these adverts?

    Are you saying that there's wrong with alienating the 31 counties that despise Dublin, and then the remainder of people in Dublin who despise the GAA just because they have a sponsorship deal with them?

    :pac:
