The subway meat free ad ffs. The fat take a break magazine type presenter and the offended millennials. It's gross ��

And the one who declares "I haven't eaten meat for THREE years :mad:"

Vegetarianism must be some craic then if you are trying a meal that looks like meat you bint.

McDonalds dubbing Irish accents over English ads is very lame, especially when we see the English version on the many channels that don't have regionalised ads. Two Irish girls so happy to be home because weirdly they were somewhere that didn't have McDonalds. Yeah its good to be home. At Stansted Airport.

Maybe they were in India and couldn't get a Big Mac with beef? Although I think they are shown eating mcmuffins.



But yes your comment is so true. Where were they that they couldn't find a McDonalds? I've had McDonalds in China, Morocco and Turkey.

Jesus, either make an ad in Ireland with Irish people or give over the dubbing.
Dubbing just makes it look cheap, I'm sure a multi million operation like Maccas can afford one or two Irish ads a year as people here find their muck irresistible.

Have you seen the ads during RTÉ's Big Big Movie on Saturday Night!

Dubbing might be the best option.

I don't usually watch RTEs offerings of straight to DVD movies for children.

Well if you want to see the most cringe inducing sponsorship then they are for you. Families sitting round telling hilarious stories about themselves.

Their Christmas ad was atrocious for the awful dubbing alone. The ad didn't bother me on UK television.

That's just RTE getting in a few relatives of their "stars" to fling together an ad.

No, it's not something I'd go out of my way to watch.

Them Llyods Pharmacy ads where different over-acting knobheads talk to the camera telling us "hilariously" how sick they are.

Like an ad knocked out by contestants on The Apprentice in a couple of days.

Its cringy as **** and it boggles the mind that someone from Llyods saw them ads and thought - yeah they're funny lets put them out.

The bit where yer wan goes 'I'm pregnant. YES! But I don't know.... what vitamins to take'.

Before she got the the 'vitamins bit' I thought she was gonna say 'who the father is'.

But the whole thing is a disaster.

I can’t decide if they are worse than the short lived “Hello” ads they had - probably the most fearful utterance of the word ever, like you’d just crept in to the pharmacy at closing time and caught her by surprise

the aldi or lidl ad with the couple from Cavan. Her voice sounds like nails been dragged a blackboard

How long are Vodafone going to torture us with the Dermot Bannon ads? Its measured in years at this stage, is it ever going to end? Surely this amount of airtime cant have been cheap, have they actually gained enough customers from this campaign to justify the spend?

I think people from Meath need to start complaining en masse to the Advertising Standards Authority. Get these muppets off the air.

RTE are brutal for this - have a celebrity du jour and then that face is everywhere and we're all sickened by the mere sight of them. Lucy Kennedy, Kathryn Thomas, Niall Breslin etc etc etc ad infinitum

Angela Scanlon, Donal Skehan, Rachel Allen.... God, there's so many RTE keep trying to push on people.

Lottie Ryan will be the next one, I think. They've spent a solid decade trying to make it happen for her-it isn't.

As a vodafone phone customer, their service has turned completely to sh1t.

You can never get anyone on the phone. They got rid of the "Talk to us" forum on boards, and network quality is way down. I'll be leaving them as soon as my contract is up.

In Celtic Tiger part deux, these twats thrive once again in the property porn industry.

Just don't join with Eir-their customer service is far, far worse.

My brother spent a solid hour on the phone to them, trying to get a phone repaired or replaced (it was still under contract, and the screen had screen burn on it). He was put through to every single department, with a 'hello, how can I help you-what's the problem' every time.
No offer of help, and even less offer of a solution.

He let his contract run out, and switched back to vodafone. To be honest, there's sweet flip all options in terms of mobile phone providers in this country. And it's getting worse. There are black spots for every county in Ireland.
