yeah like it's beyond just low budget and more into "we gave two guys 15 minutes to do this"

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

― 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.

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

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

It’s the one with the daughter and the baby and her mammy brings out a photo album and there’s a photo of the mammy taken by a STRANGE MAN and the mammy looks wistful and goes “I was beautiful that day”
― gyac, Wednesday, 3 April 2019 22:23 (five years ago) link
The strange man was the priest who was marrying her, of course.
