this thread breaks my heart because it is impossible to find the breakfast time back home ad

this is maybe the pinnacle of these ads
Cannot believe that's not on youtube. Travesty.

its kindof like never gonna happen now i think. like we've reached the end point of people still watching movies taped off the telly years ago so you're not gonna start lolling over a "this madness must end sooun" and wanna upload it y'know?

there's some brand of bog roll that used to pride itself on its irishness on the wrapper? always used to make me chuckle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPH4Mv06Lignot the gold standard of any kerrygold ad, but i always loved it.

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
― Number None, Thursday, 5 January 2017 21:19 (seven years ago) link
i was hoping this lad had done a TV advert
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3yBzGJKyJc
but it doesn't look like it
― Rock Wokeman (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 5 January 2017 21:19 (seven years ago) link
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
the nostalgia I meant specifically
Kerrygold seems to still have the mammy issues anyway

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.
― gyac, Wednesday, 3 April 2019 22:04 (five years ago) link
Are you even Irish if you don’t have mammy issues though?
That new Kerrygold ad though...omg. Truly Art.

I would not be surprised to learn that this one was created by an advanced AI that had absorbed all previous iterations of the nostalgic Irish advert
