Even more adverts you despise

While I quite like the retro kerrygold ads, almost all of them involve cooking fish and, its so long since I had any fresh fish. It's about 4 klicks to the sea from here. Seriously considering heading out with a rod to catch something fresh.

But, thats beyond the limit. If I said I was going for food though...

Muahahaha

Also, anyone notice the 'Stay indoors, be creative' thing was dropped very quickly by RTE?

Almost as if the people in the advert were concerned with being 'seen' in a time of lockdown than they were in actually being creative. :rolleyes:

Literally only two people from that advert actually posted anything... and it was braindead rubbish you'd see every day of the week on tiktok or youtube.,

I saw one clip from that Be Creative sh1te, it was Vogue teaching Spencer ("Spenny" :rolleyes:) how to speak Irish. There are no prizes for guessing which sentence she got him to speak. The thing lasted all of 30 seconds, I was sitting there flabberghasted that they would put out this crap and then I got angry upon reallising that RTE are probably sending her a cheque for a thousand euro just for this dross.

Another one is James Kavanagh. Puts himself out there as a food blogger which involves the sum total of stealing other peoples recipes off the internet and pretending he came up with them. The lad went on The Restaurant where his food was widely slated by the judges (he had seaweed in every single course including dessert) and he was sent packing with two starts out of five.

James has a cookbook out too

The dad gets a sewing machine online and despite having never sewn before makes his daughter a professional looking, perfectly fitting alien-princess costume...in one night. Get lost!

That Kavanagh douche is the literal JAck of all Trades, master of none. He's not even competent.
He's done everything from blogger, to fashion designer, to presenter (IReland's Got More Talent) to instagram 'personality'...

Nothing's stuck. I imagine he's hoping to be like Donal Skehan. Sh**e boyband singer, to sh**e solo singer, to 'homecook'.

His singing is bloody awful.

Can't stand that Doritos Ad with the guy falling into the pool. The song is irritating and it's on every ad break.

There was also girl from Wexford in it - black haired one. I think she was the most down to earth out of them.

Oh yeah and the worst part about James Kavanagh is you can see him landing a cushy 100k a year job in 2FM at some stage down the road, he would be a perfect fit for their line up of talentless twats.

As for Donal Skehan, he is the king of the category of an untrained chef becoming a celebrity cook.Roz Purcell and Rosanna Davison are looking on with envy. Ive heard that proper chefs roll their eyes at him because he hasnt served his time in a professional kitchen, probably because he was trying to be a boyband pin up when they were working 12 hour days at their craft. Im not a big fan of Mario Rosenstock but his piss take of Donal Skehan with the giant quiff and the bi polar personality was very good.

I will give him Skehan one thing though, he has made his career internationally and isnt just constantly sucking off the teat that is RTE like many other celebrities do. He's fairly coining it now with his company Appetite Media making cookery productions for different TV channels. .

Doesn't he have some connection to RTE? I mean, like the Garrihy sisters, he has a relative that used to be in RTE.

And yeah, chefs HATE Skehan because he makes rudimentary mistakes-stuff that will actually make you sick if you're not careful.
(Similarly, Jamie Oliver was (allegedly) sort of the same. When his business went belly up, I saw a lot of people discussing how they ate at one of her restaurants, and never went back. Talk of food poisoning and diarrhea, for one.)

Muahahaha

I havent heard about Skehans connection into RTE but Ive no doubt he had one, unless you are a world class talent it is pretty much de rigeur.

Was more making the point that at least he has gone on make money internationally rather than other RTE canteen folk who spend their entire careers sucking at the RTE teat. It still must be said though for someone who never worked in a professional kitchen Skehan has done remarkably well. TV cooking shows are all about presenting a lifestyle and showing food porn, Skehan realised that earlier than most and invested heavily in top end photography and video production equipment. All the while he was renting the kitchens of wealthy people who never cook as his filming location sets.

As for Jamie Oliver, it seems he got too big for his boots. His Jamies Italian restaurant brand went bust because he rented loads of commercial units in high street locations at massive rents. To offset that they needed to save on labour so they had largely Asian chef brigades cooking Italian food for close to minimum wage and they had no interest or passion for it. Eating there was expensive and you could get better Italian food cooked elsewhere for cheaper. Oliver will be fine though, he will still sell millions of books and make TV because he's the doyen of the British food scene.

We all know how valuable the camp gay card is in that industry. How many other lads of a similar ilk have forged careers on telly or radio without any discernible talent?

Cant understand how people can be so bad at something so simple, I can remember having pizza and chips with my dad every saturday until I was about 12 when I decided to start cooking for myself before I dislocated my jaw on his overcooked goodfellas deep pan. "18-20 minutes in the oven"

*Puts it on at half time in 3.00 games, ready for full time.....

A friend of mine was trying to flirt with a girl he knew once. She couldn't cook, so he invited her over to teach her how to cook.

He had to start with boiling an egg. She was hopeless.

Honestly, I remember talking to people in secondary school about recipes or 'food they like', a lot of us were able to cook.

And other people I know couldn't even peel a boiled potato. The were well into their teens (and 20s), and their mam was peeling them for them, at the table. :rolleyes:

I remember reading about a German POW camp with these captured British officers. One guy had been looked after by nannies and servants all his life, hadn't a clue how to cook. He was bent over a pot of water on a stove, stirring it. When asked why he was stirring the water he replied "so it doesn't stick to the sides, you ass".

Heard a story of a guy who was putting potatoes on to boil. Didn't peel them, no water in the pot and put them on !!!

I've got an uncle who, if you told him 'watch the potatoes' as they were boiling, you'd come back to find him staring at the pot.

No testing them, to make sure they're boiled. No timing them either.
Just sitting on a chair, staring at them.

I should have seen this coming, but there's a new one from Virgin Media(I think) featuring annoying "feel good" clips of people self isolating. Dear God please don't let this be the start of a new trend.

That gomo abomination is back each and every Ad break on more4, mute every time. P.s. it's 12.99 now the tenner offer didn't last too long.

Some ad where a ma is making spag bol for two little girls. The huge portions she sets in front of them, even an adult would struggle to finish it. Plus a dog has jumped up and is eating off one of their plates while mammy smiles on.
