    It's kinda funny how a summer holiday package company now has the same name as one of their biggest customers, the Teachers Union of Ireland.

    Just to note a really, really good ad that does everything the TUI advert doesn't-Nescafe's 'For the moment's that matter' is a seriously great advert.
    You hear 'Stand by Me' being covered by a female singer in the background, and a guy asking 'if you know my nickname in school was...' ' If you've ever seen me cry...'.

    I dunno what it is about it-but it's very well done, and a really exceptional advert. It could have come across as really ignorant and poncy, but it sits on the right side of schmaltz.

    The TUI ads are a move by the company to get away from the toxic thomson brand. The caring travel company that fought a family who lost two children to carbon monoxide poisoning by trying to blame the parents.

    Sure they are all cute and lovely now.

    You have your companies mixed up. Thomas Cook were involved in that carbon monoxide scandal, not Thomson.

    I had no idea what it was about, so thought it was very badly done, if the aim is to advertise. I was left really ignorant. I only half watch adverts, I only watched your link as I was curious to find out WTF it was about and what it is for.

    Have to admit it is half OK, if you bother your hole to think about what it is getting across, I would not sack people in the agency, but still a very bad advert for attracting people like me who tune out during ads. At least they did not lower themselves to ruthless tactics like the demonic addresspal child.

    Yes they do...and that's long before every bringing up the advert. Their service is absolutely atrocious, and their broadband is even worse.
    So their advertising themselves 'as better' considering everything...that's just ridiculous.

    Hillarious :rolleyes:

    That TUI "ain't nobody" ad. Whoever signed on that ad has a lot of questions to answer. Number 1 being "What the fcuk were you thinking of?"

    The Bord Gais ad on Boards. The figure to the far left seems to have a weird extra toe on the top of their right foot.

    Was watching some youtube music on my chromecast and that advert also got shown.
    Normally have adverts blocked on my devices. No luck with chromecast!


    Has not aired yet, but will people be fed up of seeing this one: -

    The Digital Services Act 2024 [EU] ~ Social Media and You ~ Nanny State guidance for parental monitoring of apps ~ Censorship: - broad laws that will probably effect Adult use of same.

    The woman in the TUI ad has normal teeth.

    What is abnormal like what was in the X factor tonight are bleached to within an inch of their life.

    Especially as it has been heavily edited in the last few years. Cutting out the Santa winking at the end incase it was taken up the wrong way.

    Holy hell.

    I don't really watch that much TV, partially because the ads send me into a rage.

    This evening I've been flicking between the channels since 9 o'clock, aside from watching the news on RTE. In that time I've seen f*ckin three different ads, none of which I'd seen before, doing the old take an established song, slow it down and do it just piano and "emotional" vocal style.

    Drives me f*ckin nuts.

    It wrecks my head. This business of assuming that when you slow down and strip back a fast song, it automatically makes it a good version. It doesn't. Lilly Allen is one of many people who need to realize this. One of her efforts was used in a John Lewis ad a while back. Boring, monotonous, melodramatic sh*te!

    We'll be plagued with them this Christmas. There were a few last year that tried it.

    Thank little baby Jesus for the BBC.
