    Sky's ad for the Lions tour. Featuring the line "being an All Black is in their blood. Being a lion is in ours".

    Well considering one is cultural and harks back well before the colonists arrived (and is something New Zealanders are proud of), and the other is ceremonial title with no real historical background, it's kind of disrespectful to compare the two isn't it?

    Stoopid sky with their over-dramatic advertising

    Agreed-I wasn't aware that Large African cats had the slightest link to my heritage...but there ya go..thanks Sky for enlightening me!!

    James Nesbitt flogging Sky TV on, er, Sky. It may well be on other channels as well. But why are the flogging their product when you're watching it anyway? Plus, I find Nesbitt very irritating anyway.

    Comes on with Virgin as well, since I don't think they have a way of swapping out the ads for the different content providers. (Plus they always want you to buy more from them, even if you are already a customer.)

    Didn't really despise it, but there is a bord gais ad with them watching football and I just could not figure out what relation the people were supposed to be to each other.
    Ad of the Week: Disappointed Dad – Bord G Energy Rewards – Publicis Dublin

    The humorous 40-second TV ad features a father and his family watching a GAA match on the couch with his future son-in-law, who has failed to get him a ticket for the big hurling match. Sensing his not-too-subtle disappointment, the son-in-law is reminded that, if he’d been a member of the Bord G Energy Rewards Club he would have been able to secure the tickets to the big match and his future father-in-law’s eternal gratitude.

    Him being the dad never crossed my mind, I wondered if they were brothers, or brothers in law. When I see it again the 2 women do look like they have a far bigger age gap than the guys.

    The EBS mortgage ad. Has the Celtic Tiger come back to life?

    That absolute tosser in the Avonmore ad sniggering because its raining back home and then his cringeworthy pose for the selfie with his wife.... I would just dip their head in a barrel of water similar to what Paddy Doherty wanted to do with Jedward.

    Its on my hate list, but I picked it up as a brother in law too

    Denis and Marie in the LIDL ad. I presume they're brother and sister. If I spoke to my sister like that she'd slap the head off me. Annoying little fecker.

    A misogynist runt if ever there was one. I'd be ashamed if my sons were like that twat.

    That bank ad where they take out a bank loan for a kids treehouse. Not sure what bank it's for.

    Some morketing yuppie got paid to come up with that..where are all these fools going to go when the next recession hits ?

    The actor certainly acts like an irritating little shite but I do not see any misogyny in it whatsoever? if it was a younger brother he was speaking to the same way would you think he is a "misandrist runt"? seeing as either term does not necessarily meant they must be of a certain sex. Maybe I missed something...

    If it was an older sister instead of him would she also be describing her as a "misogynist runt"
    Denis and Marie are siblings from Whitechurch, Cork. Denis is in 5th year, and Marie is in 1st year. They are from a family of five, with older sister Anna away at college during the week.

    Their parents, Catherine and Paul like to give them responsibility, so they regularly help out with the weekly shopping.

    Denis is a leader by nature, and this shines through, especially when helping out with their full shop! Marie has a bit of a sweet tooth, and happily chances her arm with sneaking treats in to the trolley while Denis isn’t looking…

    There is something so fake and contrived about those Lidl ads. The hipster dudes fake surprise when he is told how much a newborn shítes is one such case


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,339 ✭✭✭Jijsaw


    Your one with the brother and the sister going around is the worst, such a put-on act by the young fella, it's unreal!

    Oh my lord, I've seen this ad a few times now and all I want to do is leave sky and never have to endure those ads again. His voice just goes through my head. Aarrgghh!!!!!

    Just saw that AIB "I am" ad. So they're equating being a muslim with being disabled?

    Not everyone in that ad has a disability! I get the impression it's supposed to be about perceptions.

    Anyone for the Boots ad that uses a Christmas song??????????

    Ok, was only half watching it. Saw from where they showed someone in a wheelchair followed by muslim girl then a deaf lad followed by a little girl with downs syndrome.

    It's not for AIB, it's for RTE, they must want to blow the 100 million fast they got for selling the lands...

    AIB do the idiotic ads about Mick and Kates mortgage as if we gave a flying fúck

    Those ads are the biggest load of balls ever. I can see the do-gooder in marketing who came up with that one....probably the same people behind the Maltesers ads.
