Of course not, his style of comedy appeals to thick bog munchers.

Great review mate... you should work for Wickla People or something.

Meanwhile... look here http://www.vicarstreet.com/newstastic//news.php?item=124 it would appear that they have bog munchers in Edinburgh too.

Jaysus.. there's even a lot of bog munchers in Dublin seeing as all of his shows so far have sold out.

I too have an unhealthy hatred (excuse the pun) for the afformentioned Food Safety ads.

I HATE THEM!!

Space Coyote · 25-04-2003 3:06pm

Oh my god. I thought that I had banished that ad from my cranium forever. Thanks a lot lyonsy. Now I'm gonna have to go out and get very pished to forget it again

Feckin horse

Sauron · 26-04-2003 8:29pm

the cheestrings ad, the food safety ads....
but the wierdest most non-sensical ad is the low low ad with the crazy girl

Spunog UIE · 27-04-2003 1:18pm

ah i seen the worst ad ever,

at first i thought it was a piss take but no punch line ever came.

Its one of those tv offer only ads, and was showing on some sky digital channel ( i know that doesn't narrow it down)

anyhew are ya ready for this,

BOG PUTTER or something along those lines, it was basically advertising one of those golf mats with the hole and flag and a putter and it was designed to be used next the toliet because " it helps you relax while your doing it" so as not to cause injury through forcing, ewwww.

It kept showing you people on the bog playing with it, trying to hit the ball into the hole, the mat is about 2 ft wide okay.

Not only that but if you buy now you will get a free busy sign for your door handle, at the amazing reduced price of £20 down from 40.

Going to the jax has never been so much fun etc'

Ah couldn't believe it, seen it twice now. Keep your eyes open, its so ****ed up, the last words out of the guys mouth are [buy]BUY NOWWWWWWWWW [\echo]

herbie747 · 28-04-2003 10:19am

All of those "Doritos" ads irritate the hell out of me.

"Friendchips"?
Those 'dawsons-creek-esque' group of friends act like complete knob-ends and rattle off lots of really sad puns.
"Threetoes"(Doritos)? wtf?

Tyrrial · 29-04-2003 7:09pm

all ads EVER!

10,000+ posts, well done everyone. It's been fun. One of my gear grinders at the moment is the new KBC ad, two complete wallys standing at the door of their car in the driveway espousing the benefits of KBC and how it, a bank!, will change your life and all your problems will be solved. Their voices, that script, equally stomach churning and head melting.

Agree, all bank ads are stupid.

fussyonion · 08-10-2016 7:52pm

The ad for Always Pants Discreet with the woman with the fluffy hair telling the camera that nobody will know she's wearing them except her.
She irritates me for some reason.

The Fixodent ad with the woman wobbling away on a CGI pair of dentures.

The Grant boiler ad is back. Let's all go and scrounge free heat off the old people.

The series of Renault Kadjar ads I find are very annoying. It started with the one where the dust comes into the cinema and then all the people run out through the "screen" to get to the car. WTF? I don't get it. Then there are another few featuring extreme sports, with the same annoying song, where the car is driving over terrain it would never be able to get in to or driving in a river as its being used for some sort of selfie camera nonsense. If you don't have this car you obviously cant do extreme sports or if you do then you will look like a twat unless you are in this yoke!

madmaggie · 09-10-2016 11:39pm

The Energia ad, especially on radio. At first I thought it was President Higgins doing the voice-over.

I agree- I just heard it about 2 minutes ago and you are so right!!!!

Mentioned at the end of the old thread but that new debt help service advert with the woman "drowning in debt" seems WAY over the top and ironically, can't have been cheap to make either.

sligeach · 10-10-2016 6:23pm

This Green Isle ad is all kinds of cringe.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixjs6aAdtWg

That McCain's ad has the slogan "Now you're talking" I can imagine someone in Boards HQ rubbing their hands together and saying "Hello lawsuit"

madmaggie · 10-10-2016 10:37pm

Re the Energia ad, could it be Francis Brennan gone hyper?

ligerdub · 10-10-2016 10:40pm

The "we're not great..............we're total heroes" ad, Hewlett Packard I think. Gimpy crap from techies who think they are rock stars.

10-10-2016 11:01pm

"I asked two girls to me debs"
"I switched guys at mine, twice"
"I brought me mammy!"

NO ONE ever did that! They went alone or didn't go!

MOH · 11-10-2016 11:25am

All those radio ads just before the hour that go "It's almost two o'clock, time to ... go and get your tyres rebalanced / get hair implants / invade the middle east / do something else that has no relationship whatsoever to the current time"

Probably the worst of those ads, though, is the Noyeks Newmans ad on Radio Nova.

Not only does it begin "It's almost X o'clock, time to...", but it plays just before EVERY hour - and, of course, it's got THAT jingle. I won't sing it; you all know how it goes.

ligerdub · 11-10-2016 1:04pm

I miss that DID electrical ad with the singing dishwasher.......it was so bad it was good.

DOH! , my bad, it was an AIG Insurance Ad, not KBC, sorry KBC!

The new Opel ad. The glare from Jurgen Klopps teeth could light up a small town.

Thundercats Ho · 17-10-2016 9:47pm

Oh god, I hate those Sh1tebags in the Chicago town pizza ad.

Dr Crayfish · 17-10-2016 11:13pm

On the Irish channels anyway, it just seems to be either that God awful ad where some prick buys an island with lottery winnings, or else teenagers being rejected by girls in McDonald's ads. I wish you could install adblockers on televisions. My mother mutes the ads every time they come on, to enjoy the silence.

18-10-2016 12:05am

That euromillions ad, with the island bought by this guy. Feck off.

To be fair the McDonald's ads are class "gonna have a good day, and all my friends...." etc. Genius.:D

Forced to watch this ad when using the RTE player.

I bumped into her years later. She was working serving food for a popular vendor in the farmers markets in Dublin. I think she's a friend of theirs. She was quality back in the day.

It's no worse than Heineken (Cute Hoor), Guinness (Hop House 13) and Bulmers (Clonmel 1650) doing it. And at least Smithwicks are up front about who's making it.

George White · 21-10-2016 8:19pm

That Health and Safety ad with Otto Pilot from Airplane! being squashed and transformed into a human for some reason. ZAZ never thought of that.

Jimmy Garlic · 21-10-2016 8:27pm

It has been mentioned before but deserves to be mentioned again - The profoundly annoying young fella Aldi Paul O'Connell ad. Really bad, makes me want to put a mug through the TV every time I see it.
