I just love how the mother in the Kerrygold ad clearly hates the German wagon who stole her son away. In her own head she is a wronged woman who gave him everything, everything, only for him to become bewitched by some flaxen-haired temptress from another country and leave his only home. In his head she is a nagging old biddy who is never happy about anything and he couldn't wait to get away from her. It's the oldest story we have.

reminds me of the carbon monoxide it IS the silent killer ad. my friend got a photo with that old guy.
that dublin bus thing tho - it is fucking hilariously bad.
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Thursday, 5 January 2017 21:08 (seven years ago) link
most of the advert is just low budget a little bit bad but the lad in the costume dancing like a wounded Bez, wtf is that about?
― Rock Wokeman (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 5 January 2017 21:10 (seven years ago) link
like they didn't have time for a second take even?
― Rock Wokeman (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 5 January 2017 21:11 (seven years ago) link
yeah like it's beyond just low budget and more into "we gave two guys 15 minutes to do this"
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Thursday, 5 January 2017 21:14 (seven years ago) link
WHAT THEN
plus surely the audience for this bus aren't likely to be people who live locally enough to be watching that ad?
― Rock Wokeman (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 5 January 2017 21:17 (seven years ago) link
I actually know a genuine ghost bus ghost irl. Keeps offering me a free ticket but I've yet to take him up on it
Apparently the tour itself is pretty decent though

i'd voice that for them for a tenner. in one take.
xpost i was kind of always curious about the tour, like i bet dublin has some interesting history you could tie into something like that.

what's the most recent one of these to attain a cultural foothold I wonder
― Number None, Wednesday, 3 April 2019 21:51 (five years ago) link
specifically with the nostalgia, or the darkness, or just into the pantheon
because im as confirmed in my heterosexuality as i need to be but that lad that talks about the grass and how it makes irish lamb taste special could at least take me out for cocktails
― fremme nette his simplicitte (darraghmac), Wednesday, 3 April 2019 21:54 (five years ago) link

Lol I fucking posted itt nearly eight years ago, going to die of shame soon.
Was that weird sub genre of post crash emigrant are ecer discussed? Eg https://youtu.be/ct4D63wH8iA - poss not best example but these always felt a bit bleak to me? Your man at home is oblivious and his friend in London just wants to get on with his life?
I think Lyons or Barry’s also had a competition to bring an emigrant home for a visit? I have a photo of it on my Facebook somewhere.

Are you even Irish if you don’t have mammy issues though?
