    It’s retro?

    It’s crap...

    Retro doesn't mean good.

    It's a retro jingle. I can't believe more people don't remember it.

    I mean it's the same lyrics, but are you seriously comparing the 2? The current one sounds like a pisstake.

    The ad starts of with the original tune in the background. It's just a different version.

    I'm talking about the jazzy song in the current ad, you both are talking about the same thing right?

    I didn't think it was possible for someone to over act an Irish farmer but Three Ireland managed that in their new ad!!!

    Is he the pub owner in that old Guinness ad that was on recently? Do you know the way to San Jose?

    Its awful crap and easily the ad I most despise at the moment. And as you say it seems to go on for ages while we get three different scenarios with BROADBAND OPTIMISED. Its cheap, tacky and a right pain in the hoop.

    Thought I was the only one to hate this one .

    Why does Vodafone seem to love ads with singing children ..

    Paddy Power ads used to be hilarious, but the last few ones with prominent people (Crouch, Colm Meaney, Jose Mourhino) were about as funny as a child's autopsy.

    Which is a shame, as all three of those lads are funny lads in their own right. The ads were just terrible though, the Meaney one in particular.

    There is an ad telling parents to say no to their chaps who want to eat sweets/treats before dinne.

    And the one with the three in the car to wear seat belts.

    What is wrong with people?

    The way they have him portrayed, he seems like a man who'se wife died 20 years ago but still thinks she's only gone out to the shed to get turf.

    Also, "Kate'cher on meuwt" grinds my gears.

    I really don't get that ad. He is unable to teach them via onlne classes, so they all meet up and manage to master the song without him?

    Puts him out of a job if anything.

    That absolutely bizarre seatbelt ad is on again. Who in the jaysus even politely asks their mates to put on the belt? Either belt is on or you're out the car is how most people treat it.

    You actually feel sorry for actors who's agent gets them these gigs and they have to demean themselves with such rubbish.

    Not as demeaning as the aerial pods ad, it's grimly embarrassing.

    That three ad is brutal - how many times is he asking the same question.

    The aldi ad is equally as bad. That said the previous aldi family were grand.

    Like the musicians who allow their songs to be brutalised in adverts (looking at you Queen and that dreadful Flash ad)

    Energia and Supermom. FRO!!!!!

    Every single advert for the last couple of years has been some yank sounding Irish brat peddling some mummy product, some absolutely “badass” woman showing how amazing they are, a kooky hipster singsongy ad or a powerful “be-nice”/connect/ overly mushy piece.

    It's like he's breaking the news that a family member has been brutally murdered, the way asks his friend to put on the seatbelt.

    That new Guinness ad about pubs reopening with Barry keoghan

    at least I think it was him....

    Such a Preachy and fake tone to it

    And then the passive aggressive patronising “telling off” at the end

    “You have the pubs back open - let’s make it last ok??”

    Whole thing is awful

    it makes it look like the man is suffering from demintia , and sadly that wasnt the purpose of the add

    if this man is in his 70s he was in his 40s in the 1990s which makes him well capable of using a mobile phone or laptop , its an insult to people of that age

    I wouldn't be too sure about that, I'm in my 50's and know many people my age and younger who can barely manage to make and answer a call on their phone, they wouldn't have a hope in hell of ever mastering a scratch pad, not a chance!!
