Sticking it to Ben Dunne and Ernest Hemingway with one single swift thrust. Very nice.

why all the hatred for the bearded man..his nemesis in the ad is even more annoying. they’re all just the equivalent of ‘haaarvy norman’ or ‘d.i.d. electrical open till niune’ radio ads. designed to annoy and get people talking of the annoyance whilst simultaneously reinforcing the meteor brand..suckers

This is the Meteor Ad version that has people up in arms against Smug Bearded Man – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XlyLyhbDow

And yeah, it’s that tuck of the head and shooting up of the arms that really sells the smug and makes you want to punch him. HARD.

The guitarist with him I think is from that comedy trio that performed after you, Eoin, on the night.

For the expats among us who’ve never seen these eircom or meteor ads would anybody be able to offer pithy synopses of the same?
