    Absolutely right. That the sponsor of the Galway county teams would ignore that important fact for one of his cringy ads is bad judgement at least.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,793 ✭✭✭CoBo55


    It highlights the destructive effect sideline parents have on the game. The chaps would get over it in a few minutes. Now sideline mommy, she's a whole different story😡

    Two ads at the moment

    Talking bollix podcast with to how ye Dubs talking crap, it’s on before any Go Loud radio stations

    Gillette with Ian Wright, but what is most annoying is the Ed Sherrin sound alike trying to sing the old Gillette ginger, horrendous stuff



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,849 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    That Red Click insurance ad with the Wish knock-off of Padraig Harrington.

    No way would they be that contactable, that quickly, in the case of an emergency up in the middle of nowhere in Wicklow.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,414 ✭✭✭deezell


    It's idiotic, like they have actually a control centre that looks like something in NASA. More likely a rental of a corner of a call centre somewhere in a grubby industrial estate. Maybe the preponderance of sheep is a sly dig at their target customer base.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,186 ✭✭✭wazzzledazzle


    Gillette adverts are atrocious. They are owned by P&G. Them and Unilever try and outdo each other with the shitiest adverts possible for thier brands

    One example of of a UL "advert" below. They needed make sure every sngle kind of woman got the message that they can use their product



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 836 ✭✭✭blackvalley


    Almost as idiotic as the one for another insurance company where the useless tool husband breaks the water tap and waits for the insurance company to send a plumber while he eats a slice of toast.
    Meanwhile the gormless wife looks on.

    That's the bauld Martin, absolutely dreadful Ad.

    And the oul wan's accent. 'Thors plonty mor farsh in dor sea'. Who tf speaks like that?

    That stupid Weetabix advert:

    Reason why not enough people are eating it is it's over twice the price of just as good (in my opinion better) version from Aldi.

    Reason why Britain is in trouble, because it has been run by gobshi#tes for years.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,638 ✭✭✭Hangdogroad


    That Irish broadband provider one with this punchable gobshite running around on all fours like a dog with a frisbee in his mouth.

    oh yeah thats a bad one #menarestupidincommercials

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    That and the fact that the individual plastic packets are impossible to open, especially when your in a hurry getting breakfast on a dark morning.

    That new Sky ad for Irish soccer ain't great. Given how bad we are the minute, we'd probably still concede a free-kick despite that wall made from the supporters.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,414 ✭✭✭deezell


    The Spry ad again, since our digression a good few posts back, I've read a letter to the legal agony aunt in the Indo. A daughter, one of 4 siblings, is working on the old dear to release her quarter of her 'inheritance' in advance, using Spry. The others are not happy, as this amounts to elder financial abuse.

    The Spry loan doubles in ten years, and no doubt doubles again in another ten, so a loan for a quarter will consume the home in 20 years. The loan is a burden on the title of the home, so any remaining equity is used as the home value for Fair Deal. Spry have first claim on this equity, so 12 months after entering the nursing home, they will foreclose, sell the house and take their cut. The balance becomes the now homeless nursing home resident's only asset. This though, is not a home, so after the 22.5% maximum for the fair deal is ring-fenced, the remainder is likely to be treated as a cash asset, for which there is no percentage take limit.

    It's obvious in this case that the sibling after their 'share' will be the only one to get anything if allowed to coerce the old woman into a Spry loan, but the good news is that another sibling has power of attorney to prevent Spry getting involved. It will probably destroy the family though. The forced house sale took me by surprise, I can't imagine any family who would want to suffer that in advance of their parents demise. That's why Fair Deal doesn't entertain it, but if there's already a burden on the house that requires sale, that changes everything. Sorry about raising this again here, but oddly, there's no Spry thread on Boards that I can find in a search.

    SMYTHS toys Adverts and TEMU Adverts have kindred spirit in their ads. TEMU Adverts though are more clinical. No sad or angry humans or characters, ever!

    I know its been mentioned before, but... The Cadbury's Dairy Milk advert with the slightly sinister looking corner shop owner selling the little girl a huge bar of chocolate for a few buttons and a plastic unicorn.

    If that shop keeper paid the Cadbury supplier with a bag of buttons and various other sh1t like that.... I wonder how they would like it. Not much at all would be my guess!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,793 ✭✭✭CoBo55


    Buttons only, he gave her back the unicorn ☺️, ah it's kinda nice on a certain level, totally unrealistic mind you but kinda nice.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,520 ✭✭✭MfMan


    Like The Shawshank Redemption, it's perfectly nice and watchable just once. After that, it becomes icky and ultimately puke-inducing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,658 ✭✭✭✭lawred2


    Have to admit I find that ad quite funny. And I'm normally miserable about these things



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,891 ✭✭✭RoTelly


    There is an add running on Spotify for Chewing Gum or something and ends with something to do with Longford Lady, and easy for you to say… with the reply no it isn't really!

    Dreadful ad.

    Just one more thing .... when did they return that car

    Everyone is gushing on YT about the Amazon ad with the girl in the Apartment, especially the piece of classical music, with added lyrics, so beloved by brides that millions have probably walked down the aisle to it (thinking they were so original of course). Well used in the past for cigars, drink, even wool ads, The lyrics though in the Amazon version are quite something, by a pansexual genderqueer artist named Christine and the Queens, (i don't know either), but thats not the best bit, the complete lyrics are full of hard-core references, lines of cocaine, f words, gay references. All the brides to be are outraged, they wanted to play it walking down the aisle. Maybe Amazon can deliver a sanitised version to them.

    The "Christmas" perfume ads hitting us now in September, it's like they have allined with the chocolate sweets business 😂

    I watched an Ad about veteran before, and this Ad made me sick, but I don't know why.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 989 ✭✭✭lumphammer2


    Some annoying ads recently ….

    That insurance ad with the guy in the car with the all sheep around …. and all the guys in the red uniforms in the call centre ….

    Gone now …. but those House of the Dragons ads being on like 3 times in one ad break ….. had the opposite affect on me …. made me not want to watch it !!!!

    That dreary very rainy AIB mortgage ad ….. couldn't they at least film it on a fine day !!!! …. AIB though have gone for v dreary ads of late ….. that Beatley one was the same ….

    That stupid Bulmers ad …..

    That EBS ad ….. admittedly the part where the inflatable thing pops up is hilarious though !! …

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,220 ✭✭✭jiltloop


    That ad always strikes me as looking AI generated. It looks quite fake and vaguely unsettling and I can't put a finger on why.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,730 ✭✭✭cml387


    It's an original ad from some years ago, rehashed because since Kraft took over Cadburys the quality of their chocolate has deteriorated and they are hoping that some nostalgia will help.

    By the way, that ridiculous, overblown, preposterous and frankly insulting ad which is supposed to be for the FAI but is actually an ad for SKY, just visible in large letters on every jersey.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,414 ✭✭✭deezell


    Given that the EU had to give a derogation to the UK to actually call their chocolate 'Chocolate' , due to the lack of real cocoa butter and solids, post Brexit, it's only paste at this stage. The Belgians were up in arms at the time, to them it was pure shyte.

    Laya Healthcare has a new daft one. A fella getting the results of an MRI starts reminiscing about old family events as if he's expecting a terminal diagnosis. Instead, turns out he's just pulled a muscle or something equally trivial in his feckin' leg which he clearly must have had a good idea of before the scan. Nonsense.

    Oh, and the RSA ad for safely crossing roads with your woman with the weird bockety walk is back unfortunately.

    The Tesco F&F 'There's a Storm Coming ' ad. A tinkly, bell like musical intro with cozy Bublé style crooning, with models in various red wintry attire walking through snow like wind blown paper, all designed to evoke a not so subtle subliminal Christmas sensation. In September. Fcuk off Tesco, I hope we get an Indian Summer in October for a month, then you can shove your red jumpers up your hole

    Worst is in-store when you are stuck at the checkout behind some clown who has decided to outfit all their relatives kids with new clothes and starts asking the cashier do they think the clothes would fit child x aged y. Then the clothes get packaged in brown paper bags in a manner you would see in Louis Copeland. I now scan checkouts and trolleys for any idiot buying clothes and avoid.

    I still can’t understand that add. One minute it’s kind of modern and the next it’s gone back in time somewhere. Weird!

    It came out in the UK to celebrate 200 years of Cadburys, hence the different time periods. Over here they just cut out the references to the anniversary…

    No trees were harmed in the posting of this message, however a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
