I didnt think I could despise Tubridy any more but his smug cringe inducing monologues every week at the start of the LLS since this started proved me wrong. Now they're going to play a recording of one every ad break.

The RTE fart sniffing has reached an unbelievable level in this time of crisis.

You'd swear the cure for Corona was hidden in their flatulence.

Is this the replacement for the “thanks Buddaaaayyyy” ad.....please bring ot back,my ears are bleeding from the kids crowing...and a baby wailing in the middle of it....Horrendous stuff:mad::mad:

Oh no, please, not 'thanks buddaaaaaaaay'.
I mute all of those ads. Anything with zoom calls and people singing and the lot. Noooooooo!

BBC4 do these promos featuring footage of singers where the soundtrack has been removed and you just hear grunts and their feet squeaking on the floor etc. They're kind of funny generally but the current one' which has been running for ages has me reaching for the mute anytime it comes on. The one where she goes "Waaaaaaaaa!" In a horrible high pitched shriek.

It's actually better without the music... until the squall obviously.

Isn’t the tax payer paying their wages either way?

Advertising revenue would contribute. To be honest, RTE pay their high earners far too much. Marty Morrissey on 300k for doing a show in a shed ffs. They in no way should be availing of this scheme. /rant over

Pounding at the door. After seeing this latest masterpiece broadcast from his shed you'd have to wonder how long more can RTE realistically expect to keep such a handsome talent :rolleyes:

God I'm sick of his boundless enthusiasm in these ads and looking at his Just For Men dyed head.

Or Spitting Image.

He always reminds me of one of their puppets from back in the day. Anytime he's on TV I'm always looking out for the faint outline of strings controlling his arms.

Sorry Marty

Roanmore

Not an ad but I don't know where else to put it.

TV3 weather, if you want to show photos of people, places, etc. do it after you have shown the weather not before.
I want to see the forecast not John who was 4 today or a lovely sunrise over some bay somewhere.

Knew he reminded me of something

Seriously though, I'd love to know who suddenly decided that Marty was a " celebrity".

Back to the ads. The new Denny ad just came on, and it's horrific. I hate those ads that try to go for the heartfelt " common touch". "It's the only thing you could cook when you moved out". "It's what you ate the morning you got married." Please, just eff off Denny. It's over processed rashers and sausages for gods sake. I mean, I'm as partial as anyone (though not to Denny:P)., but please.

All that fandango

The new Magnum Pink Ruby ice cream ad with that horrificly bad cover of that Daydreams song. Its on ALL the bloody time!? I like magnums but that is one rancid looking yoke for an icecream, pink chocolate, euch. Extremely annoying at this stage.

Muahahaha

Wasnt it mentioned here before that Tubridy is mad to do an RTE Telethon like Gay did back in the day. That ad seems like his pitch to RTE management to let him go ahead, Bryan Tubridy the Charidee King :rolleyes:

I wonder the same myself, for decades he was just a GAA commentator and thats all he was. Then Oliver Callan started doing his 'hi Im Marty and I like to party' sketches with the fake tan on him and Marty seemed to play up to that characterisation of himself as a ladies man, thus his 'celebrity' was born. He should be paying Oliver Callan royalties at this stage.

Was it Oliver, or Mario? I know Mario did similar.

But Marty was known for his 'parties'.

He can't be robbing cheese with this covid around, no wonder covid is around with Bannon walking into everyone's house.

MrKingsley

I’m at a crossroads when it comes to those ads.

I despised them for the entirety of their duration initially but at least when they are being shown now “new normal”, “were connecting differently” or “uncertain times” don’t exist. That in itself is a positive

the purple tin

The phone ad with the Dutch Bigfoot.
Coz Holland is awash with Bigfoot sightings, like.

the purple tin

The ad for Teams with the teachers and the students doing an online class.
The kids on the screens look bored out of their skulls or surly as heck.

The teacher shows them something and asks them can they see it. This one boy says 'I can see it' in a really aggressive tone of voice. If I had used that tone and attitude with a teacher I would have been for the high jump.

the purple tin

The biologist who plays 'footie' on Wednesday nights.
She is a cockney trying to put on an upper-crust accent and mannerisms and fails miserably.

Vodafones and Virgins shade of red used in their branding and logos seems to be almost identical, Ive mixed them up in the past too. Virgins ad with all the kids singing Queens Dont Stop me Now is particularly annoying.

Companies must be having a great laugh at the negligible cost of production for their ads lately- no need to pay camera men or film crews, no need to pay actors or directors, just get some kids with smartphones to do it all for free so they can be on the telly. Same with the Aldi family in lockdown :rolleyes:

Dickie10

the AA car insurance , the dog in the ad is horrible, i mean the voiceover actor, awful wexford accent and just really annoying tone. i dont know why but i really dont like it. sounds like the dog is a human version alcholic uncle they cant let out or something. i dunno if people know what im saying

donegal_man

Those horrendous Flash ads.

the purple tin

EBS ad where the family see a sex scene on the TV. Then the sofa turns into a huge vagina and swallows up the son.
Freud would have a field day.

The one eyed monster under the child's bed. There's no way did the advertising people not know what they were doing.

EBS really need to change their advertising agency. If there was a top of the pops for sh1te ads.....they would be the feckin Beatles....

Not seen that but is it also on bus shelters? The son looks like a midget version of Eoin Mclove.

There's 2 ads on the tv currently that I cant stand:

1. The Tampax ad ("You gotta get it up there girls...") which seems to be everywhere
2. The Fairy non Bio with Vogue Williams and her son Theodore.

I think those ads probably appeal to terrible people, who then go and buy those products.

Sheep Shagger

The repetitive contrived Virgin Media advert with the kids singing.

the purple tin

Some car ad, maybe VW, where they are interviewing kids about what the car of the future will be like. The children are meant to be in the 1970s but they have really strong mid-atlantic accents. Irish kids didn't talk like that back then, for flips sake.

MrMusician18

YESSSSSSSSSSS YESSSSSSSSSSSS

That ad for Bloomsday is getting on my nerves these days

YESSSSSSSSSSS

the purple tin

The ad with Dermot Bannon, the little girl doing homework asks her da how many moons Jupiter has.
I hate it because
-I don't remember covering any astronomy whatsoever in school
- The girl is really young, why would the teacher ask such an advanced question, 'can you spell Jupiter?' would be more apt
- The da acts like a twat trying to bluff his way out of it. Just tell her you don't know, why don't we look it up
- The girl seems adept at using the tablet, why did she need to ask da at all, look it up yourself
- Bannon shows up
