Kerrygold

Kerrygold advertisements are always a big pile of nonsense, but there’s a line in this one that takes the biscuit.

“Ah Sure. They export all our best stuff,” she says, ruefully.

What a pity Irish people are giving their precious butter to the horrible foreigners. What, do you have a problem with international trade or something, you big Irish mammy stereotype you?

I remember the other Kerrygold ads had miserable old people in them too.

    “give them all our best stuff”… because export is the only thing that’s keeping the country even vaguely afloat ;)

    Not to mention all the best graduates & other Irish of working age currently being “given away” as they can’t find work at home!

    I love the way her expression changes at around 0.34 as she realises that she’s married to a retard who carries a box of soil around with him.

      Yeah. She looks worried at that point alright. Wouldn’t anyone? That chap needs professional help.

  5. Quint says:

    So much wrong with this ad….

    Opening scene ripping apart the clump of soil: is he having a nervous breakdown?

    The way he tucks in the toast…oh I’m starving!!!!…and all he’s having is fucking toast?

    The mother/grandmother clearly detests the daughter-in-law.

    Why is mother/grandmother getting all emotional when he leaves. Germany isn’t that far away…it’s not like he’s off back to fucking Australia. Plus the son is at least in his late 30s. Time to move on Mum, he’s not a little boy anymore. Maybe there’s some sort of Oedipal thing going on…actually, hold on…..

    The guy clearly hates Germany. What’s wrong with his kid touching German soil? If he hates Germany why did he move there? Leave his wife, his mother hates her..and move back to Ireland and move back in with the mammy.
