Fucking Gross Adverts

I don't mean to sound melodramatic - but I'm so grateful for this thread. I thought I was being overly sensitive.

The Pepto Bismol one is disgusting and now my 4 year old keeps shouting Diarrhoeaaaaa!! I could literally strangle the advertisers.

The Always one...and DFS one with the bottom on someone's head....it's all so unnecessary.

Yes it’s bloody awful! Turns my stomach!

Ugh and that all over deodorant for bollocks, bums and fannies. Gross ad,

It’s a duck, but yes.
It may be a good idea (like anti-acids, incontinence pads and deodorant), but that doesn’t mean we have to see it multiple times on every thread on the forum to the exclusion of everything else.

It utterly turns my stomach and it is massively counterproductive if they want people to use the forum. It’s the same as the other disgusting adverts we are talking about here, while they get attention they put people off both the product and the platform they are shown on.

In the case of MN I don’t understand why this one advert is so ubiquitous and constant, and nobody has been able to explain it or offer a solution despite several requests for help with it.

There is definitely a move towards unpleasant, shocking adverts rather than appealing ones these days - I don’t understand it.

Slightly off topic I know but is anyone else disturbed by the KFC golden egg advert? A crowd are worshipping it then a man gets picked up.like a surfboard, dunked in a lake & turned into a breaded chicken portion! It just makes me very uncomfortable.....

I wouldnt have thought so, its a job at the end of the day, they're just actors. They turn up, do the shots and go home and then onto the next job.

Yep, hense not buying it. But the advert makes me WANT to 😂

It's the deodorant one for all the 'personal' parts of your body

Do we need to see a man spraying it down his boxers?

(and no-one should need it anyway)

What happened to Advertising Standards?

This will always be the greatest advert ever.

Have you seen the price of Pepto Bismol?????

I always wonder whether the actors regret it, when their friends and family constantly rib them about it.

I love this one 🤣

When you have heartburn, nausea, indigestion, upset stomach, Diarrhea!! 🎶

Makes me actually want to buy pepto bismol 💝

I hate armpits in adverts, they give me the heebiejeebies. I think we see them less now, it's all about your nether regions instead.

The animal charity ones during the day are horrific.

I’m another one who doesn’t mind the Pepto-Bismal one - at least it’s cheerful. The others mentioned are very off-putting. Yes, it’s good that women find it easier to talk about periods, but all the gushing and blood and all the rest is a bit much for me, likewise the Tena ads. I know it was annoying when they used to use blue liquid to represent menstrual blood, but surely this was because lots of people feel a bit queasy looking at blood. I know that’s what my body produces during a period, it doesn’t mean I want to see it on the TV while I’m eating my dinner, just so everyone can say how right on it is that it’s not blue liquid any more. Yes, let’s strike a blow for feminism by making people feel a bit sick.

That ad doesn't gross me out at all but I do wonder how on earth it git made. It reminds me of The Apprentice task where the hapless idiots have to make an ad and they're always utter shite.

In my experience the people who love to talk about kinks and sex parties are weirdly right wing...they use liberal ideals for what suits them. Like Christians who protest against refugees.

I try and avoid ads as much as possible and mostly tune them out nowadays but my child recently said ‘why’s that man sniffing the other man’s private’s?’ And it was some kind of deodorant thing I think and sports maybe rugby and one guy was literally sniffing the others guys butt or nethers, can’t remember which , presumably to appreciate the deodorant or something, it’s unnecessary and bloody weird .
we have become an anything goes society in so many ways so liberal in the way people dress, talk openly about sexual preferences and kink and display said preferences in clothes and style during the day etc

everything is ok now and celebrated unless it’s ’benefit scroungers’, immigrants, disabled people, people with invisible or fluctuating illnesses, ADHD, autism , mental health issues etc, those people need to get back in their box and behind closed doors and stop asking for help or ‘getting something for nothing’
Dystopia is here and now

The close up of the kid farting in the loo roll advert is just grim.

Thank you @BlueEyedBogWitch I have been debating whether its worth paying the extra to go ad free or to just spend a few minutes watching ads and save the money towards something else, I'm off to renew my subscription to remain ad free!!

I find that advert quite funny. It’s not really gross as they are just dancing and the way the song ‘Diarrhoea’ does its job as the song sticks in your head.

Agreed - it actually turns my stomach!

I can't stand the Sun life naturist advert. I know it's just naked bodies and you obviously don't see any private parts, but I don't want to see it.

Slightly off topic but I really hate the advert where a mum picks her son up from school and is told he has been misbehaving. Unless I’m misunderstanding it they then go home and giggle about it ?
If so is it any wonder teachers are having trouble with children’s behaviour.

Oh I quite like that one 😆
The others mentioned here are pretty awful though.

Not really gross, but the Dominos one where the actor sings the word is like nails on a blackboard. I always rush to mute it.
