Even more adverts you despise

Thank goodness its not just me . I have absolutely no idea what I am supposed to take from that ad ?

Lads that Lotto 90% ad is genuinely starting to affect me mentally, I utterly despise it like no other ad ever.

Has anyone seen those weird stuttering cartoon ads that seem to be about Facebook and some other company trying to make it acceptable to wear a camera on your head in some sunglasses though? They're so bizarre and off-putting, they dont come on every 10 minutes like the 90% Lotto ones though.

Facebook not doing it out of the goodness of their hearts, or from a sudden urge to explore the possibility of TV advertising.

Ireland's Data Protection Commission made them do it. Not just in Ireland, but across the EU. They probably pegged it to some % of sales or per unit sold.

And may the plain, ignorant people be grateful that officious bureaucrats are there to save us from our own backwardness.

There is something very weird about the smart glasses ad. At first I thought it was a skit. Maybe it’s just me but I find the ad creepy and a bit camp. Ad for smart glasses or a public service message, I can’t take the ad or whatever it is seriously. Why would the woman in the 2nd ad go up to a random strange couple and ask to take their photo? Let alone why did the couple agree to have their photo taken by a stranger?

Thought it was just me. And yet wans glasses are too big. I want to slap both of them. Just a snog? Yeah, cos she's too annoying to shag.

Are sports people coached to speak in a monotone? I've just seen an interview with a female rugby player on RTE and she didn't raise, lower or emphasise a single word. Just a constant boring stream of low pitched words. I've noticed most sporting personalities speak like this when interviewed, but it is especially prevalent amongst women. They sound like the boring priest from Fr. Ted.

Haven't seen the ads, and for some reason I decided to see if I could search for them. I still haven't seen them, but saw this.

The 'other use scenario' is a bit of a stretch.. People are sick or tired of 'reaching into their pocket' to take out their phone to take a video.. 🙄

Is facebook or meta, whatever it's called, just trying to normalise creepy behavior with their weird ads?

But anyway, the current ad for denture adhesive features youngish looking people, who you'll never guess wear dentures.

Why is Super Hans trying to sell me stuff now.

I don't believe for a second they are not recording 24/7

Its the American way of selling pharmaceuticals to the public creeping in here. A pharma company will put out a PSA ad on tv or radio about an adverse health condition that they happen to sell drugs for. The ad will be dressed up as educational for the public and encourage them to talk to their doctor if they have any of the symptoms listed. Its basically a pharma company trying to get people to self diagnose and talk to their doctor in the pursuit of drug sales.

In this case of shingles its Glaxo Smith Kline who are behind the radio ads but the ads never mention their name at all, it only mentions the website https://www.understandingshingles.ie/ but the GSK logo is there on the top right of the page. GSK sell a vaccine to prevent shingles, it just got approved by the FDA in the US last year. I'm guessing thats their angle for the shingles PSA ads on radio here, they want to create demand for their product.
