I have been sitting on my hands about this for ages, but has anyone else found the strangely overly enthusiastic man in the Parsley Box ads really worrying. "No - the Lasagne!"
I find him right up there with with the "But, how do you look after your mouth?" woman, but it might just be me....

I know it's been said about three times already but A little bit of wee is SO cringy that no woman in her right mind will buy the product unless for a laugh at a baby shower.

“Bigger boobs...blessed”

“How do I keep my mouth healthy?!” I always want to say something dirty.

Love that the arse cream Anussol that we all know as Anus sol is pronounced completely different on the ad. Who are they trying to kid?

June and the fucking parsnip Bastard Jam 🤬

GleamingHeels · 18/09/2020 18:53

whispered 'women over forty' for whatever caffeine shampoo ad it is along with the previously mentioned healthy mouth and the Haribo police

GleamingHeels · 18/09/2020 18:56

June and the parsnips, but also June and the redirected mail 'ooh I've seen the ads on TV' which has been almost invisibly cut as she used to say 'ooh I've seen the ads on TV with Parky'.. also the way the man presents her with his mobile at the end, is she supposed to call then and there?

In the Lloyd's ad Maureen Lipman and Gyles Brandreth make the dog references at the end in such suggestive voices that I'm always tempted to check Urban Dictionary for alternative meanings. If I cba of course.

Justmuddlingalong · 18/09/2020 19:07

The fixodent advert. Who the fuck eats an apple dressed up after a night out?

Bettysprocker · 18/09/2020 19:11

Asda are going to take some beating with their latest offering.

LadyLindaT · 18/09/2020 19:11

I agree with every single one mentioned. Am I alone about the Parsley Box ad?

CorianderLord · 18/09/2020 19:12

The ASDA advert grrrrrrr

'Do the pocket tap, pocket tap, pocket tap' - fucking shoot me.

Also the tooth woman who bites a whole freaking bell pepper. What are you doing madam?

Veryverycalmnow · 18/09/2020 19:13

Anything with a shitty 'poem' really pisses me off...

Veryverycalmnow · 18/09/2020 19:15
CorianderLord · 18/09/2020 19:16

I've never seen an add for 'Parsley Box'

Fokarfina · 18/09/2020 19:18

Danni Dyer ‘perf with surf’ makes me want to NOT buy Surf.

GleamingHeels · 18/09/2020 19:34

Oh god, yes the fucking 'perf'!
I haven't seen an advertisement for 'Parsley Box' either, what is it?

Frazzled13 · 18/09/2020 19:35

Tampax “get ‘em up there, girls!” woman.
Cannot bear that advert, it’s so awful.

PickAChew · 18/09/2020 19:37

I think Asda have tried to beat the oral b lady with the guy making a video while taking his kids shopping, with a reference to the "that's Asda price" ads that he looks too young to remember.

@AllPlayedOut

Jason Leitch. Every time I hear his voice I want to throw something at the TV.
Fuck yeah! I'm sure he's a lovely man, but his voice is fucking annoying.

Vogue Williams caring for Theodore.

The Tena Lady ad 'A little bit of wee won't stop me being me'. You need to see a physiotherapist, lady!

BatleyTownswomensGuild · 18/09/2020 19:40

Definitely the Oral B lady.

The fat opera singer guy from the Go Compare ads is also on the podium....

Mrsjayy · 18/09/2020 19:41

The Aldi (or is it lidl ) family especially when mum and dad aldi had a date night Angry They are all so smug !

Mrsjayy · 18/09/2020 19:43

no i love Jason Leitch he reassures me Smile

Agbqzy · 18/09/2020 19:47

Every time that Oral B woman asks "but how do you keep your teeth healthy?" I always shout at the TV "try cleaning your teeth you filthy cow!"

That's on the occasions I haven't got to the remote to mute or switch Channel fast enough.

Also that weird cat food with the bloke singing "oh baby, baby feed me". Hmm

SummerHouse · 18/09/2020 19:48

There's an ad I keep seeing on here about vaginal dryness with a woman clutching her crotch. Surely that's no way to go about your business?

Just visualising myself rocking up at work clutching my crotch... "Hi team, don't mind me, I have a dry vagina."
