    No thinking involved, I know plenty of men like him, nothing wrong with them in the slightest but they do exist.

    She sure is, her under the sofa Tee shirt is a lot more revealing than the one she's wearing at the end of the Ad:D just an observation I've made...

    That Hop House 13 ad must be the most reconditioned ad ever. They've basically been re-editing the same ad for 6 years with different voice-overs.

    I must be very observant too!!!!! The only thing I find slightly off putting about her is she reminds of that talentless Glenda Gilson

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahah Donal you're a gas ticket.

    There's a shorter, edited version of this ad for Zalondo currently on.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tklMEpmR1G4

    I haven't the faintest idea WTF any of this hodge podge of random fat yokes is meant to be about.

    Zalondo amazes me, its stuff is staggeringly more expensive than the high street (like all online retailers, really)
    I got about ten seconds in, the guys "rapping" was enough.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,051 ✭✭✭Hangdogroad


    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'm in my 40s and for much of the 90s mobile phones were still largely associated with yuppies, it would only have been been towards the very late 90s that they started becoming common with the general population. I got my first one in 1999 or 2000.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,134 ✭✭✭oneweb


    That car ad with Tom Hardy. Sexy lad, lovely voice. But...

    The instructions to him: speak stupidly slow, we're paying you for it by the second. And if you start too fast, bring it right back before the end of each sentence. Maybe a sex voice. Yeah, like you're putting your
    o_0
    into
    -.-
    get out of it, ya filthbag

    It is what it's.

    Aww they don't make ads that fun anymore :(

    It is what it's.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,134 ✭✭✭oneweb


    Always hated that Guinness ad where he's dancing around like a twat. And always felt Guinness ads were ready-made, just needed a brand stuck to the last 5 seconds.

    Today I've found the proof I needed...

    Don't charge like that anymore either, 80c day and 20c night... Eircell were the only operator.

    Esat Speakeasy was their main competition.

    Remember when in Ireland they branded Pay as You Go.

    Not in the beginning when they were 088. When Esat were finally allowed enter the market Eircell became 087 and Esat were 086 Esat were dreadful practically no coverage outside of medium sized towns.

    The Rutger Hauer ads they had in England were brilliant. In comparison, we had those sh1te "whisper" efforts. Same with Carling Black Label. The "I bet he drinks Carling Black Label" were great. Look up the dambusters one on YouTube!

    *quick question; how come the Hauer ads were never aired in Ireland?*

    I've just seen an ad for Ballygowan. While I don't despise it (yet), it references 750 years of purity.....

    What has happened? In the 90s it was 800 years of purity surely.... Have they speeded up the process?

    New Today FM TV ad - not sure what the hell is going on there.

    Is that the Ad with the horsey looking one dressed in a 90s power suit? It's brutal.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,943 ✭✭✭✭the purple tin


    Two of the most annoying ads I've seen in years: the Dominos ad with all the lads yodelling.
    The one where the hairdresser says she accepts credit cards now and everyone in the house starts going Ooooooooooooh for ages.
    What a load of smeg :mad:

    : the Dominos ad with all the lads yodelling.

    Could not believe that ad when I saw it...... seriously woeful. Someday, there'll be a thread of the worst ads of all time...... that dominos is a contender for top 10 position

    I don’t think Ready To Go brand was ever analogue 088. We are talking about 1999 to 2003 just before Meteor entered the market.

    And here's me thinking this thread was a general chit chat about Ad's I didn't think we were getting down to specific dates, sure that's boards for you.
