IF YOU’VE WATCHED Irish telly at all over the past few months, chances are you’ve seen AIB’s ad starring Mick and Kate, a couple celebrating paying off their mortgage.

The ad is utterly inescapable and has inspired some quality gags on social media.

Let’s round ‘em up, shall we?

1. Worst Groundhog Day ever.

Today can't still be the last day of Mick and Kate's mortgage!!! Enough already 🙄
