Maybe they fecked up when shooting it. He pronounces the two words exactly the same as far as I can tell. So, why is he correcting himself?

Because a Fridge will keep food at a regular temperature. Food out in the frozen Tundra will not only be frozen rock solid, but it will also be unusable-like ice can burn stuff, similar to fire. That food put out in sub zero temperatures would be unusable.

The Extra chewing gum ad with little dirty Tom the annoying little fcúker.

I think they messed up the aul lads "impressed" smiling expression. It looks more like he knows he's hammering the arse of young Tom later that night.

Yes these sterotyping ads really are past their sell by date now.

"protective dad doesn't like boy near his daughter"

Rockshore lager have anew ad where the volume of the music is about 3 times louder than other normal ads. Very annoying late at night when it suddenly starts blaring out of the speakers.
One more reason why I will never drink that horse urine.

I'm really absolutely sick of those Flash ads.

Not only are they on the telly non-stop, I have to listen to people at work raving about them.
I must be the only one who doesn't find them one bit funny but truly annoying.

When different ads use the same music. Whenever the Laya ad comes on all I hear is " check a trade, check a trade.com."

The twirl advert is growing on me-I think it's the girls chipper attitude or something but she's kind of winning me over.

It's strange. I should hate it by now, but I kind of went from hating it to liking it.

I just found this on RTE Player, and I thought something about it seemed a bit... Nazi?

It's probably my imagination. It's not like any of the products shown are covered in swastikas or anything! (It might be the singing tho.)

love the ad with the parents dancing with their babies in front, makes everyone smile

Apple's adverts have become increasingly irritating...like, how do you go from the genius of these.

To the absolute crap that they're pouring out now?
(The 'What's a computer?' advert, among others. )

Just show the darn product, put a funky tune on in the background, and boom, done.

Don't be a pretentious w@nk€r.

Sure do like the one at 17:33... if only because I love The Bird and The Bee. :cool:

That Sixt ( care hire firm) ad on some of the UK channels where the woman phones her dad to say "Dad, it's triplets!". Dad then closes the lid on his flip phone and says "that's nothing, I've just rented....." while laughing manically, while his daughter is listening to him down the phone...

Now, my memories of mobiles with flip lids are that when you close the lid, the call is terminated. So how is she still hearing him?

I'd love to agree with you but that ad is so bad there is no way I'll be subjecting myself to even a few seconds of the youtube video.

I see Aldi have a couple of "family saving" ads where the Dad is portrayed as unreliable/childish.

One is scoffing cake on the sly when the family are meant to be heading off, the other is on a zip-line when they are meant to be having lunch together.

Idiot men!

Those Club Zero ads, with your man "casting a spell" (is it?). Thank God for the Mute button. Also, those Lotto ads; "Donal's bought an island for Ireland". All the money they're raking in and they can't do better than that?

I don't think she is hearing him after he hung up. His laughing is played over the hospital scene though, maybe an editing mistake?

That Ulster bank ad where the dad and son are going for dinner. You can cut the sexual tension with a knife!

I have a couple of gripes with this ad.

For one, it's disturbing that it comes across the father and son are on some kind of date. "You're looking well" says the son to the dad, the dad going flush in the face - "all down to your mother.."

But notwithstanding the fact that it looks like the two want to partake in reciprocal rimjobs, the second gripe I have is the hand grab by the dad to notify his son they have a deal that he doesn't pay. "I'm just going to the jacks" he says.

My question is: Why is he bringing his wallet to the toilet? It goes against the whole point of the ad that he is using his phone to pay for the meal.

He's brought his wallet to the jacks so he could pay using his card anyways. So in fact there is no efficiency.

:D:D:D

Royal Navy ad recruiting for cannon fodder; if you can fix a bike then you can fix a car...:rolleyes:. Eh right, if it is so easy as that why are all the mechanics not on the breadline?

Actually repairs are done by civilian contractors. At best fixing really means maintaining.

Shifty Shellshock

New Eir ad about a secret gig. Oh, just so hip. Oh play that groovy music, we are hip. Knobs. Bring back I lost three wheels.
