    The rockshore stout one is pretty poor.

    It doesn't work.

    It isn't funny

    I just recently remembered that ads made for UK television used to be dubbed with irish accents for irish television. The dubs were awful, there was an ad where a little girl was going "daddy, there's a teddy in my cereal" and saying "there's a teddy in X, Y and Z" and the actor doing the father in the irish dub sounded like all joy had been sucked out of him, at least in the originals where they had bri'ish accents the actors had some life in them.

    Another one was an ad for whiskas where cats were admiring their reflections thinking they were other cats, the UK version ended with one of the cats saying "on reflection, they don't say a lot do they?" which was a perfect way to end the ad, whoever was responsible for the irish version thought one of the cats should then say "they don't?" and the other cat replying "no, they don't" at the start of the ad they also added more guff with "switz woo, belongs on a catwalk!"

    From what I understand the irish accent dubbing was because there was an agreement in place to give work to irish actors, so glad that's been stopped

    If you are getting the UK channels you will get sick of this Asda one very fast and it will also put you off watching Elf ever again.

    The single girl version.. why do both her elderly looking parents get up when she goes into the house after a night out 🤔! Awful ad, worse than the couple.

    I’ve never watched Elf, and I never will, short of being forced to at gunpoint.

    Is it not a universally acknowledged fact that mimes are creepy, and 99% of the population dislike them?

    So Why TF would you put one in your advert?

    Yeah the Vodafone ad, with the dad collecting the daughter in the car during all weathers. Messy divorce. When she’s crying at the end of it and the mammy roaring you did it again.

    Did it again, What?

    Roger the babysitter.

    Roger the mammys best friend.

    Roger the daughters best friend.

    What the fcuk is it, tell us. We’re adults.

    Subway ad about fresh bread and the smell of subway.

    Even though I have had Subway, one of the reasons I don't frequently their establishments is dur to their smell, Subway smells like a bin.

    Did anyone else notice that the new Ireland's Edge ad directly borrows from Parks and Recreation?

    "You've all been calling me Gerry for years but my actual name is Gary"?

    And they even manage to ruin that.

    The advert for the Late late Toy Show. As if kids up and down the country were carefully planning out their night of watching the Toy Show.... where there are no actual toys ...just a middle aged man prancing about in a gaudy outfit.. and guests with cancer and other terrible illnesses 😟

    I thought that’s what she says - but now I’ve heard it a few more times she says “he dumped her”.

    The small print in the current Amazon ad.

    "Black Friday Week 18-28 November"

    So many things wrong with that statement 🙄

    Maybe she moved to that house with her daughter after the husband fcuked her out of the family home where they previously lived! Or maybe she owned the family home. Or maybe he moved out cause he didn't want to live in a hostile environment. It's terrible to be emasculating him like that. It could have been his decision!

    Of course I pulled all these theories out of the same place as the rest of you.

    Probably the worst one on at the minute, pretty insulting to bald men aswell tbh, they get their dig in at the start and again at the end, I dont know if I was trying to increase sales of a new drink especially another doomed non-Guinness or Murphys stout that Id start and finish by insulting 45% of my target audience like that every single ad-break. I suppose this will run on and on and on like that Godawful Rockshore party on the beach crap. Alcohol ads really are the worst.

    EDIT: Actually I think the worst at the minute is Heinekens nauseating "Girls can like football too! Look how progressive we are!" sh1te. How long has that been on now? I want to scream when I see their stupid faces trying to pull off fake enthusiasm.

    The man on the Vodafone ad has the house listed as Home on his phone. Is it still his home, or never bothered to change it?
