Not seeing it sorry! Least convincing advert you’ve seen

[Grabbner]

Just seen an advert claiming that nail fungus can be stylish! It’s going take some work to convince me of that!

I’ve just seen one online for an upmarket clothes company. Apparently their clothes “ help women achieve their ambitions” or some such shite. And there was me thinking I might do that through hard work , education and accomplishment.What was I thinking?! All I really needed was a navy top.

There's a new Colgate advert all white and ted which just makes me never want to purchase a Colgate product again.

The funeral ads with Derek and It's June Dad, enthusiastically discussing their over-50's funeral plans over a basket of parsnips annoy me. Particularly in later adverts, where Derek has abandoned June for Rose with no explanation. However, seeing as Alan Titchmarsh advertises the same product, I'm hoping June ditched Derek for Alan first.

The periods adds were your doing sport and zip wiring just not realistic my periods have been hell lately.

I t took me ages to understand the Specsavers one, where the museum attendant is switching off the lights.

Who the fuck shares Maltesers? I actively hide mine from DH/DS.

Who the fuck rides a bike up a mountain, with a child in a box at the front, after eating just a yogurt. I'd have to have a gut-busting full on cooked breakfast before I attempted that shit!

No-one should be sharing chocolate in a pandemic.

It’s a dangerous thing to do. Not because of germs but because of a home snaffles my Tony’s chocolony I might bite them.

That one with Derek and June infuriates me too. They look so ... happy to see each other. We all know that when neighbours drop round unexpectedly the correct response is to say “oh fuck, hide. Someone’s at the door”.

The Dunelm ad is annoying too with the Isaac Matthews or whatever they’re called. They must be the only family to shop in Dunelm because that ad, and variations thereof, is on all the time and features only them.

Arthur thank you for explaining pyroclastic :)

I’m still voting for the “nail fungus can be stylish” ad though as top contender for least convincing.

The bloody Argos add with a women holding a duck! Do they even sell ducks?

That one of the elderly guy going up and down the stairs. You buy a bungalow, your legs will drop off in 3 years. Also, why aren't they holding onto that toddler?

I absolutely hate the incontinence once.

Yes it’s good to promote the “don’t be ashamed, it’s not uncommon, see someone and ask for help” message.

It is NOT good to promote the “it’s ok to piss yourself every day, all you need to do is wear an incontinence towel or pants, but hey they’ve got a lacy edge so that’s ok!”

I do love the Argos advert though....

”Who the fuck shares Maltesers? I actively hide mine from DH/DS.“

Me too, @DubiousGoals. And I would add - to @PennyNotSoWise - I am baffled by the concept of leftover Maltesers too!

There’s one with a dentist saying how she recommends the toothpaste (can’t remember which one which tells you all you need to know about the impact of the ad) for sensitive teeth. And then she says something like “and people actually come back to me and tell me it actually works”.

Every time I see it I think “why are you sounding so surprised it works? You were the one recommending the stuff in the first place!

And speaking of dentists........"I know how to keep my body healthy, but ..........."

I'm pretty sure dentists aren't allowed to advertise products, it goes against professional standards set by the GDC. So those dentists recommending toothpaste and toothbrushes are fake - don't believe them.

The constipation remedy adverts crease me up, with the woman talking brightly of how it softens her shit and makes it easier for her to curl one out, in a manner of speaking. I'm sure it's the same actress that does the Imodium adverts in the summer. Too much Dulcoease, you see.

I remember a deodorant advert on the tube a couple of years ago during a scorching hot summer. There was a guy wearing a biker jacket and the advert was along the lines of you can still wear your favourite jacket without getting sweaty. FFS it was over 30 degrees outside! Just take your jacket off!

They aren’t real! I know someone who was ‘the dentist’ - he was a creative at the company!

Carole Vorderman selling equity release.

She is bloody nosy. She knows literally everything about her neighbours.

Carole Vorderman does funeral plan ads too doesn't she?

I can't remember which company it was, but one of the actors used to say IF I die, you, my child will get all this money to spend. Er, mate, we all die. There's no IF about it.
