Fucking Gross Adverts

It started with little kids on the toilet with their pants round their ankles, holding their noses.

Then there was the one with a woman farting at work and then scurrying to the bathroom clutching a bog roll.

I think I reached the nadir last night when I was subjected to an advert for razors which treated me to the sight of a man bending down with his back to the camera and his hand under his dressing gown, shaving his sack and crack.

I mean, that might not be the nadir. Maybe next time they’ll drop the dressing down, and I can feast my eyes on his arsehole winking at me while it gets a short back and sides.

At this rate I’ll have to clear all the crap off my kitchen table and start eating like a civilised human again.

AIBU, or are adverts getting increasingly foul?

Worst and weirdest and makes me feel
so uncomfortable is the KFC one where the guy gets dipped and ends up a chicken nugget- wtaf!!??!!

Revenge? 🤷‍♀️ Bit of an odd one for a company that sells dead poultry, though. Reminiscent of the cow on the mustard jar. Or the pig on whichever product it is, I forget.

So tight it went up inside their vagina and you could see up the hole?

That's not far off with some of them. <reaches for the eye bleach>

That's not the vagina you're seeing (unless they have a hole in their leggings, aren't wearing pants and have got their legs wide apart).

YANBU. There's a full body deodorant one which is rank too. Not to mention that it's a stupid, needless, and damaging product.

Exactly, the body doesn't need deodorant on your penis or external vulva. Its damaging to the natural body system. Money grabbing companies.

The kid in school with the toilet roll going for a poo
And the worse one ever ,where men are sniffing each others crotch ..vile

My 9yr old asked why people were smelling others’ crotches and I didn’t really have an explanation. Not a great thing to advocate sticking your face in others cock and balls without consent.

most adverts are annoying and rubbish these days

bring back john smith and carling black label ones or nescafe the will they wont they

I do quite like the Fosters ads

Sux2buthen · 21/09/2025 14:30

Pp was referring to the fact that you mean vulva not vagina, people here live to correct.

I’ll see if I can dig out my nans smelling salts for all of the sensitive folks aghast at adverts and pass them along 😂
And no, that’s not an ageism thing, she had smelling salts on her cabinet

Oh and before you say "well stop looking"
If men decided to do the same you would think they are perverts.

I don't want to see right clothing and bum creases of either sex. Having a vagina doesnt make it permissable

No, you're absolutely correct. I would add, the deodorant advert containing images of fat backsides, sweaty underboobs and armpits, the " lower body deodorant" one, where men and women are sniffing men's bottoms and crutches and last but not least, " Pepto-bismol ads, with people singing about heartburn, upset stomach, nausea and, wait for it! Diarrhoea!
My own selection would include slavering dogs, anything showing tongues, spitting blood after toothbrushing, life insurance and bloody ads for funerals!

Yes, the man shaving his bits is too much.

I dont want my eyes and ears assaulted when I'm watching adverts.

I think common decency has gone out of the window. This week alone, Ive seen naked bum cheeks on people walking down the street or in shops (one wearing shorts, the other wearing a mini skirt on the tube escalators).

Can't bear the advert where the woman sings 'Last night a Tampax [def not a DJ] saved my life' . It's not even funny .

I'm not sure if a tampon has ever saved a woman's life. If she were haemorrhaging it would be fuck all use. More like caused deaths, in the case of TSS. What a shite premise for an advert. Or maybe I've had a sense of humour bypass.
