Fucking Gross Adverts

For emphasis, obviously.

Agree. It’s TMI!You remove the pad in the privacy of your toilet, you wouldn’t show it to anyone so why do you need to see it in HD in your living room with your family and maybe while you’re eating?

Is that the one with the goose?

actually I thought the butt holder is a very good idea - my main bugbear is litter and flytipping, so I thought it is at least something that trains smokers that it is highly antisocial to throw their butt ends on the ground and squash them, it's really vile behaviour.

Where are you seeing these adverts? I mainly watch Netflix and iplayer so no ads and the adverts I see on youtube are nothing like this. Maybe you should change your viewing habits so you see fewer and different adverts.

Well most of us have bowel movements, do you think we need brown stuff smeared on toilet roll to sell it? Nothing embarrassing about it, just revolting as we know what toilet roll is for and don't need that.

The outrage 😂😂and they say Mumsnet is uptight.

Its not a recent thing anyway. Remember ‘I can do it too with kandoo’ with the kid on the toilet saying ‘pooooh that stinks’
But, thanks to their advertising I remember that one and there’s a whole thread here naming them all from viagra to tena therefore increasing their reach so doing their job for them.

I deliberately don't watch adverts now so haven't seen this new wave of awfulness, luckily. But I have in the past seen hideous daytime animal charity adverts that pull on the heartstrings and appear to target vulnerable viewers. I'm a big animal lover but the nature of these adverts does nothing to endear these charities to me.
(Sorry OP for going off topic here)

I thought I was quite open minded until I saw the arse-deodorant advert. Apparently I’m not as “live and let live” as I thought. 🙈🙈🙈

People swearing in every sentence is probably why such adverts you complain about are being made now, as standards are so low.

YANBU!I saw the Canesten ad this morning, with a woman reaching down a an implied scratch and wondered what on earth has happened to our ads.

All right, don't get your Tena pads in a twist just because someone disagrees with you!

It’s not that I’m offended - just the irony of you slating gross ads while serving up a winking arsehole of your own.

This^^

These ads reflect what my DH and I were talking about just yesterday. People asking far too personal questions of people they barely know. Or making wholly inappropriate highly personal comments on other people’s clothes, eating habits, sexual preferences, appearance etc. Thinking this is okay because of social media over sharing and continuous flow of TMI.

We both want people to just stop. But then I’d be happy to go back to people calling each other by their last names unless they were close family.

I hate the pepto-bismol ad where people do the “diarrhea dance” and clutch their arses when they sing 🎵 diarrheee-a-er! 🎵 I think it is meant to be funny but I find it gross.

This sounds awful! Wr dont have tv and I am glad now. Mumsnet is the only site that makes me uninstall my ad blocker so I never get to see adverts except here. And I just enlarge the screen so they drop off the edges. Grim

Like the period ones, when are we going to get the nappies being shown full of piccalilli or bog rolls being used with lovely brown skids etc…can’t wait.
we all know what they look like when used, but don’t have to have the reality of it all being thrust in our faces at whatever time of day….including tea, dinner time. Sick of it too.

That’s in our near future

We’ve always supported animal charities and are big animal lovers, but we’re starting to avoid channels which sell space to the RSPCA and abused donkey type of charities. They’re just way too much. When my Nan died, we found loads of monthly subscriptions to animal charities, it was awful to think she was a vulnerable target knowing how much she loved animals. If they come on, we switch over.

Agree about the disgusting poonami ad. Not only because who needs to think about baby shit at dinner time, but also I think it’s in bad taste after devastating actual tsunamis.

As for the ads of people running through the office with loo roll and sly expressions, who thought that was a good idea? Ok so if an advert gets your attention, it’s supposedly doing its thing, but that’s just crass. I don’t want to work with that person, or be that person.

And I’m pretty sure we can figure out how to use a razor - I don’t need to see anyone shaving their bikini line to get the picture.

Oh, the people gardening whilst wearing pristine white clothes also need a slap!!

Not offended at all and I used to swear a lot.

However, it was pointed out to me that swearing sets out your stall. If you are effing and jeffing all the time, others may see you as low-rent, common, uneducated. People may 'screen-out' your words and may extend to any good ideas you may have.

I don't think anyone has ever listened to people more, or taken them more seriously, when every sentence contains a swear word.

That struck a cord with me and I don't swear any more.

Your mileage may vary, of course.

Yes this. I absolutely cannot bear adverts. They feel like a massive intrusion of noise and annoyance into my life. So I pay extra for YouTube premium and Spotify premium. Bliss.
Also agree they are too out there and disgusting but to be honest thats just one of the many reasons why I hate them.
Apart from the really funny ones but sadly nowadays theyre few and far between. Everything is so contrived nowadays.
