That Dunphy "McDonalds" advert

[MeathCommute]

Hi. I'm sure everyone has seen this abomination by now. I think it's absolutely terrible. Dunphy is a great personality, and he should have been used a lot better in this advert. That word "baby" has to go down in folklore when it comes to the great rows between the RTE panel. However, in the advert he says "baby" in a very snappy, impatient way. I seem to remember when he was rowing with Chippy Brady he used the word "baby" in a funnier context, with a big smile on his face ! I dunno, maybe it's just me. I think there was a very obvious catchphrase that they could have used here. "It's not a good burger, it's a great burger". Would that not have been better ?

That's a good post MeathCommute but you wouldn't be able to drive the train to Cork

It makes me smile.

Smile at the spectacle of Dunphy shilling for McDonalds.

And, as for saying "it's a great burger", would that not be false advertising ?

Slow service in here, that lad behind the counter, he turns like a tractor

I agree. It's not great at all.....still a great opportunity to use a well know phrase !

They could have had him staggering out of Reynards and then throwing his pencil across Grafton Street in frustration because McD's is closed!

Is Reynards not closed ?

I was using some artistic licence!

Ha ha ha. Good stuff. I think he was more likely to have fallen out of Lillies Bordello than Reynards, although I believe he doesn't do any of that anymore...

Sorry but I haven't a clue what you are talking about !

I assume Micmclo is 'literally' talking fluent pundit-speak.

Thanks TarfHead. I get it now ! Once I imagined Johnny Giles saying it, it made sense to me !

Need to brush up on your Dunphyisms

He once said Ronaldo was good but could he drive the train to Cork

And Jaap Staam had the turning circle of a tractor. So calling him slow

Or making a laugh of John Hartsons backside when he was overweight


Dunphy has lots more

And all this thread and nobody brought up "tired and emotional". Ye don't remember that incident?

Very good. I was slow to spot that all of those comments came from The Dunph.
I don't remember "tired and emotional" live at the time, as didn't it happen at a ridiculous hour on a Sunday morning, if memory serves me correct ?
Incidentally is there even a YouTube clip of Dunphy being "tired and emotional" ?
