Anyone else irritated by the Lidl advert with the demanding child?

Anyone else loathe the Lidl advert with the little girl demanding to know if her father has bought exactly what she wanted, while he smiles fondly at the spoilt brat as he anxiously assures her he's obeyed her orders? Or just me being grumpy?

I’ve watched it and I don’t quite get the strong reaction the majority seem to have. She must be a good actress, though, to evoke that much detest towards her 🤣

She’s revolting. I don’t understand this recent trend for celebrating detestable behaviour. The stair lift one with the stupid child making her disabled granddad repeatedly go downstairs to get her stuff once she’s in bed is almost as bad. She’s got working legs and should be a bit more bloody organised.

I hate that ad..oh grandad..oh fuck off you wee bastard.
The other one the git kid hiding from gran ..life insurance or direct burning

Yes, ads were so much better when they featured people being sexually harassed, people being slapped or women doing all the housework. Bring back the good old days!

Yes, the good old days of the Smash aliens, the Cresta bear, the Hofmeister bear, Beatty and ‘you’ve got an ology’ and so on. They were so memorable we can remember them 50 years later! They were funny. Now they are just dire.

Yes there were some good ones but there were loads that were utter shit too, and some were downright offensive.
