every time this cupronol advert comes on i think, i don't get it.

Shed don't cry and don't take bottles of milk, if its supposed to be a baby, we don't paint babies when they cry

help!

I think it means you look after your shed by painting it. Confused

I hate it when it does the projectile vomit. DS2 had Pyleloric Stenosis at 6 weeks I should say it traumatizes me. Sad

but shed's aren't babies - why feed it a bottle first why not just paint it?

I like it, even though it's nonsense. I like the tears coming out of the shed's 'eyes'.

It's just a completely rubbish idea for an advert. God knows how the ad agency came up with it - it's just terrible and nonsensical and not even amusing imo.

It made me giggle.

I think the writer had a MIL who insisted their baby was hungry every time it cried.

They want to say once and for all a bottle isn't the only way to cheer something up [bugrin]

That ad is a bit odd. Especially at the beginning when the bloke.appears to be asleep nuzzling the woman's boobs.
So maybe it makes.you think about babies and feeding from the off.

Lots of people must have agreed this was a good idea for an ad campaign. I have absolutely no idea why. It's a terribled advert.

Am I the only one who thinks that if they had a shed that was screaming and demanding attention, they'd take an axe to it not a bucket of cuprinol?

It's not a very good advert (most of them are shit) but do you really not understand it?

I didn't know what you were talking about so youtubed it. A match would have solved all their problems.
