Even more adverts you despise

Its for Bulmers. Its been mentioned two pages back. Its godawful. Their award winning "Nothing added but time" series of adverts seem like a world away now.

Thinking about it, its probably fairly difficult to make an advert for drink nowadays. I think they can't actually show certain things... like copious consumption, drunkeness, inappropriate or dangerous/illegal behaviour, I don't think they can even hint at sexually suggestive stuff like getting a young wan drunk and riddin her or even someone actually enjoying drinking for the sake of it (ie. a mad alcoholic hoor) .. and of course they have to tick every diversity box and have an alternative to their liver destroying poison on display in every shot......and all this after the 9pm watershed (or is it 8pm)

It's like they're trying to lever the 4 Johnny's, or maybe the 3 Johnny's and one Jenny. In that sense it's a success, totally unfunny dialogue but they're laughing out loud anyway. Meantime, ticking the diversity box, if you can figure out from the clips who's with who, is it a twosome or a threesome, who's hand is Johnny 1 holding at the wedding table while he's wedged between J2 , 3 and 4. Are 2 and 3 gay? What's with Jenny? She's hardly bridesmaid to the blurred out bride on the left. What exactly is the message? Thankfully, it's all explained sincerely in psychobabble here.

A flagon of Bulmers was once a primary ingredient of a ditch drinking kit, a bottle of Buckfast maybe, some Harp. In later generations the Harp became Dutch Gold, and the Bulmers was ousted by Linden Village or the like. You'd never see ads for plastic 2l of cider, with lads necking it from a paper bag on the canal bank. I must say I was impressed by the lad in front of me in Ballyshannon at the Rory fest, with a bottle of Buckfast in each hand. Respect. No one seemed lonely either.

This from Woman's Way mag in the 60's

verisure alarm adverts, all over daytime TV….with this one and especially the other add where she’s in the advert with her mother who just sits there making nervous. ’ what in the sweet jeeebus am I actually doing here ‘ expressions throughout…

I know it’s only an advertisement but god yer wan Angela comes across as beyond fake and she won’t be getting many acting opportunities…you’d hope 😵

Bulmers ads have been going downhill since circa 2010 with that horribly twee series they did with the recurring village idiot type characters .

The new RSA ad, if you want to do proper shock and awe recreate a coroner court scene and say the cause of the crash was your son/father was an alcoholic or drug user who had a great night before he took the car to the road and wiped out 5 innocent people.

I know its been said before but basically any Ikea ad.

I don't like Ikea anyway because in about 5 different apartments spanning 2 different countries Ive had the same 20 euro Ikea coffee table. You go into someones house and you can instantly see oh yea, that came from Ikea.

There's an ad on the radio at the moment where Ikea are reducing the price of cuddly toys.

What imagination-lacking idiot parent buys their kids cuddly toys in Ikea?

The vodafone ads sound more like an advert for iWatches.

They don't say what the VF product is, I'm assuming its just a data only SIM, but your one running without her phone possible with her iWatch. "Only on Vodafone". I doubt that.

Actually its right up there with the Lottery stupid water slide ad .

The other lotto ad with the hot one winning 20K a month for the next 20 years and giving the other women a little dig is annoying too, but at the least the token black friend is a whole lotta woman.

I've been meaning to post about this a few times, but couldn't be bothered doing the long explanation, so that's for that! 😀

The young wan had tried to jump up for it and couldn't reach, but this aul lad, barely taller than her, slowly reaches up and grabs it. From the next shot, it looks like he'd struggle to reach the net with a ladder!

I think the ad is for Axa.

I assume from your avatar that your poor cat took off like a missile when the whelp yelped! I wonder do some doggy viewers try to chase moving cars on screen? I often wonder what animals actually think, as they must, about the human world. It's mostly, 😸 🐶? "there was food/tennis ball/string here yesterday, same again today, and most likely tomorrow, so, I'm staying."

In my last place there was a lot of dogs barking day and night so the sound of a dog barking goes right through me now. The ad itself is stupid and makes absolutely no sense or any comparison to the product.
