Quick rant - I fecking hate that ad on the radio for Cadburys selection boxes - your man sounds like a right creep speaking in a half whisper trying to create the mood of Christmas morning and a selection box! :mad:

Bah Humbug!
 
I agree, but for a different reason. It's a blatant atttempt to jump on the Barry's Tea bandwagon. I'd be very annoyed if I was paying an ad agency to be creative and the best they could come up with was this knock-off.
 
I thought it was more like a knock off of the Mastercard adverts? ("Knowing what it means to be Irish? Priceless") Even sounds like the same bloke.

But yes, annoying either way.

He actually reminds me of Christian Bale in the new Bat man, all needlessly raspy and annoying! - I remember hating getting the cadburys selection box instead of the posher nestle box.........................

Q lots of 'when I was a kid we got one sock and an orange' :D:D

One sock and an orange? Weren't you priveliged? When I were a lad, we got a stone and a piece of baling twine and the old man used to tell us it was a kit for making a yo-yo. Mind you, we were down pit at age 5 etc. etc.
 
I havent heard that Cadbury Selection box ad. Must keep an ear out.

I was just thinking of posting my own hate thread. For Garmin Sat Nav. A horrible wheedling American voice like a chicken being strangled. Get lane assist. Get lane assist. The voice is pure evil. Like a man pretending to be a woman. It's not lane assist that person needs. I can't put into words how much I hate it. When it comes on the radio, I actually tell it to eff off, even if I am on my own in the car. I really should get out more. Worst ad ever.

I will (never, never never geta Garmin. Never never never get a Garmin. )

Even if I still get lost in Crumlin when I have lived on the Westside of the city for almost 40 years.

Rant over.

Me three!! I wondered why on EARTH Garmin agreed to the whole "Apprentice" thing.........then I heard their own ad. Awful!!

That Cadburys one is a stinker too, he just goes on....and on.....and on!
 
That sat-nav advert is so vile it should be banned for safety reasons. Although I use a hands-free phone yoke while driving, it should be extended to hands-free operation of the radio as I will immediately reach for the radio to switch channel / turn it off / punch it when I hear that grating abomination.

MandaC - comforting to hear I'm not the only one to roar obscenities at the radio while alone in my car.

I think this advert deserves it's own thread.

Oohhh yes indeed MandaC :mad:

She sounds like Ruby Wax on speed.
 
Soooo glad to hear that the Garmin ad provokes similar fury - that woman is beyond annoying and they clearly spent zero time localising the ad for the Irish (or anywhere non-US) market. Lane assist? I ask you!? I would dearly love to see how that thing works when trying to negotiate Stephen's Green.

And another thing - those two women chatting about where's the best creche to send their children ("because nothing is too good for your precious child") - zomg but they make my head a-splode!
