Jedward Candy Bar

December 16th, 2011 by

Things that make you go humm.

Folks, Jedward has come out with a candy bar. It just makes me want to cry, because it’s so painfully pop culture, punny, laughable and sad all at the same time. Someone else bought it for me as a gift, and my first thought was that I *Had* to blog about it and post pictures, because this is something that is lost in translation (and I’m sure didn’t make it across the pond). So here they are.

Jedward "popping" candy bar 3 (Full on, Crazy, Jeadly!)
(yes, it says that it’s FULL ON, Crazy, JEADLY)

Jeward "poppin" candy bar 2 (want to Meet Jedward?)
Want to Meet Jedward? Get the golden ticket! (Thank Goodness I didn’t get the ticket.)

For those of you who don’t know who Jedward is, let me explain (although I’m not sure there is any explanation for these two). They were twin contestants on “x factor”, which is basically the “American Idol” for Britain and Ireland. They’re 17 year old blonde teenagers who, for lack of a better word, are stupid – and famous for it. They can’t really sing, and they (like Bieber fever) are everywhere here in Ireland and one doesn’t really know why. You can’t get them gone. They’re on TV (doing ads for a local cell phone company), starring in Celeb Big Brother House, and earlier this year – were Ireland’s entry for the Eurovision song contest (please don’t get me started on the contest).

They’re voted one of the year 2011′s most annoying…

and deservedly so.

Hilarious TV ads 2 (food)

March 19th, 2011 by

Every once in a while, I catch an ad on TV – that results in me pausing / looking up, and bursting into bouts of laughter. They really do have some cute ads here in Ireland, and I think some of the funniest I’ve seen in a while. As a result, I have decided to start keeping tabs to share these.

Today’s theme… food…

I hope you enjoy!

Get in the Bowl:

Now I’m not exactly sure about this one – if it’s just funny or gross. My opinion is that the Cadburys eggs that they’re advertising are the most horrible thing ever. That being said, however, I can appreciate that others like them. (I like the chocolate not the stuff inside.) This particular ad does NOT leave me craving chocolate, and a little grossed out – and yet, somehow, it makes me giggle.

Happy Valentine’s Day

February 14th, 2008 by

Just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Valentine’s Day. Since I’m single, I don’t really have much to say, other than that.

However, for a bit of lost in translation / Valentine’s Day humor, you may want to notice the name of the Candy pictured below….

Happy Hornies

They’re foam based candy in the shape of ice creams. Hard to tell here, but when you flip them over, they don’t look like ice cream cones – put it that way.

Thanks to Micha at work who gave them to me as a Valentine’s gift – knowing I’d have a laugh.
