Reference to parental sex in advert for margerine

[lessonsintightropes]

In the new flora buttery advert - describes a situation where two DSs walk in on parents 'wrestling'. AIBU to think this is slightly odd?

[MairzyDoats]

Depends...what were they using the marge for?

[JonSnowIsAProperLover]

Sex sells everything.

But the wrestling advert is certainly weird.

[avocadoadvantage]

I hate that ad. It's just so...icky!

[JonSnowIsAProperLover]

Depends...what were they using the marge for?

Bumsex.

That's why the kids thought they were wrestling.

[lessonsintightropes]

Mairzy for buttering toast for the parents' post-coital snack. (After all that wrestling they were hungry... a good job we made all the toast.) Yuk!

[FutTheShuckUp]

It's not new where have you been?
It's pathetic and shit though.

[nochips]

Stupid ad.

And very cringeworthy.

[lessonsintightropes]

Fut I don't watch a lot of telly with adverts (mainly a boxsetter), just stumbled across it on telly and was a bit aghast.

[fluffyraggies]

YANBU IMO.

I watched that add. with a bit of a cross between a and a face on.

Margarine ... sex ... kids ... parents ...

[Atbeckandcall]

YANBU, I hate this advert. Bit too Last Tango In Paris for my taste maybe that's because I'm a filthy bitch

[owlbegoing]

Either I have a weird sense of humour or you all have had a humour bypass.

[RedSpringer]

I can't stand that ad either

[propertyNIGHTmareBEFOREXMAS]

We have bitched about that stupid advert MANY times already. Yanbu.

[JCDenton]

It's really really odd, it's not at all offensive but it's not at all funny either. It just falls flat and is a bit off.

[Sirzy]

I don't see an issue with it at all, can't say it's an ad I like but I don't tend to like ads in general

It's worked though as it's got people talking!

[McPheezingMyButtOff]

Yep.

They've certainly come at it from a weird angle.

Maybe that's why they needed the Marg.

[UncleT]

YANBU. It leapt out at me the first time I heard it. I'm no prude, but I do think it's grossly inappropriate.

[lessonsintightropes]

I'm not trying to say it's offensive, sorry if I wasn't clear, I just think it's really, really weird and can't think that something I would be personally a bit embarassed about (being walked in on by children whilst having sex) is such a great thing to use to sell... margerine. Or anything else for that matter!

Pictures of it oozing down a crumpet, with no voice over, maybe with some Bach in the background, would make it far more appealing...

[UncleT]

Fair enough, but I still don't think it's remotely appropriate for daytime, family-themed adverts. And, like you say, just why?? Weird as hell.

[Abbierhodes]

I thought it was funny, but yes, totally crazy that they'd use sex in a flora advert!
It was more 'WTF?!' funny than hilarious funny.

[UterusUterusGhali]

It's really icky.

My 11yo dd told me about it before I saw it. She was horrified. I found it nasty too.

[TossedSaladsAndScrambledEggs]

Hate this advert. So juvenile, not funny.

[Mydelilah]

I've seen that ad and it is ewww, and cringeworthy to watch. Each time I see it, I wonder how it got through the focus groups!

[livingatheendofthewall]

Oh my god, YADNBU - I HATE this advert, it gives me the rage!
