Patronising, sombre Ad about some banks closing by - famous for being famous - Baz Ashmawy (?). One of several Ads featuring him about the same subject and God help Ireland if businesses need advice from this source before they decide to move their bank accounts.

Another teeth grater, and one of a new genre produced by idiots who seem to think that bleeping out words is edgy, is the Government Ad for talking about the Menopause.

Re: Best and Worst Radio Ads
People on trolleys, wards closed for lack of staff, HSE €1K bonus still not paid to 86,000 frontline staff but the cretins can still find money for Irish language Covid radio Ads. You really couldn't make it up but let's all laugh at the Brits.

Jude is back for "Elephant Self Storage" or is it "Elephant Storage" - poor girl seems uncertain! I suspect that she must be related to Rory as she also says naught, naught - naught, naught. And, no, you can't sleep here!

Re: Best and Worst Radio Ads
There's a particularly nauseating one on these days promoting the joys of holidaying in Dubai where a couple recall their recent holiday there. They did everything except ride each other but at least the man had his way with a camel - bestiality on Newstalk.

Re: Best and Worst Radio Ads
The current Ad from the government advising people to move their social welfare payments to a new bank if their existing bank is one of those closing down. The dim witted ass featured in the Ad reminded me of the Gumbys but not half as funny.

As an aside, what on earth is the name of the camel fancier - cannot understand what the woman calls him at the start of the Ad?Del.Monte wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 1:44 pm There's a particularly nauseating one on these days promoting the joys of holidaying in Dubai where a couple recall their recent holiday there.

Re: Best and Worst Radio Ads
Was it an ointment called something like 'Cheno unction'? "A quare name but great shtuff" I think the man said about it if I'm thinking about the same ad.490808 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 18, 2021 9:48 am Can anyone remember one a good few years back for "udder cream" (for cows). I think the name had golden in it so might have been for Golden Udder Cream? I'd only just moved to Ireland at the time and the amount of farmer related rural ads on the radio was surprising.

Re: Best and Worst Radio Ads
Just heard an Irish version of the Covid Supermarket Ad - clean up in Aisle, on Newstalk .....is there any end to 'official ' Ireland's ability to waste money.
'no more blah blah blah'
Re: Best and Worst Radio Ads
It's scandalous the HSE are still saturating every media outlet and platform with this covid shite that every dog on the street is aware of at this stage. Millions being spent and wasted that could be for instance put to better use such as spent on kids awaiting scoliosis surgery. Just goes to show the alternative reality these muppets are living in.

GOAL Ad .."Coghlan here" .....like we are supposed to know who he is? Obviously Eamonn Coghlan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eamonn_Coghlan but I couldn't tell you a thing about him. Bang of arrogance about it.

Re: Best and Worst Radio Ads
And today I heard an Irish language Ad for organ donors - got to admire the way they have turned wasteful virtue signalling into an art form.

Re: Best and Worst Radio Ads
The Eir Ad which ends with two creepy children - "Mrs.Murphy is on the internet"; second evil sounding child "what's she seeing"...both should get their names down for a remake of "The Omen".

Ciara Kelly wannabe rings up the National Lottery to see how much she's won in the "Loddo". Very realistic Ad - not!

Re: Best and Worst Radio Ads
Elephant Self Storage/ Elephant Storage has received a major rebranding as is now "Elephant Click & Store" - very catchy. The good news is that the phone number 494 naught, naught, naught, naught has been retained. Alas, poor Rory seems to have been axed.

Chill Insurance Ad with stupid bird sound effects. Why are Ads for insurance designed by, and for, two years olds?

The way he doesn't even ask her for her name or any sort of actual proof that she won, makes me want to ring them up meself and just chance me arm.
