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 hated the new asda guy at first but now I find him so weird I actually like him. He makes me laugh.

I was disappointed that he doesn't do the weird "pock-it-app" in the new ad.

I love dani dyer but can't stand the surf advert

FlyingFlamingo · 18/09/2020 21:25

The Asda one annoys me because he’s o-so-smug, look at me, cycling to the supermarket with my children...WELL HOW ARE YOU GETTING YOUR TROLLEY LOAD OF SHOPPING HOME NOW YOU ABSOLUTE MELT?

There, that feels better!

PS. What is Parsley Box?

Oral B - all publicity/brand recognition is not good from me - I refuse to buy due to how much I hate the advert

@LadyLindaT

If your lines are "The chicken curry... the shepherds pie.... NO!!! THE LASAGNE!!! I suppose you give it all you've got.
True! Grin
MarkRuffaloCrumble · 18/09/2020 21:34

Are you actually working for whoever the fuck Parsley Box is OP? Checking that anyone has seen your shit ad?!

*disclaimer: I haven’t seen it btw, so don’t know if it’s shit, but you seem very keen on it for someone who professes to hate it Grin

anorangeaday · 18/09/2020 21:34

The new asda advert 🙄

derxa · 18/09/2020 21:35

I hate the postcode lottery people. Patronising bastards

cricketmum84 · 18/09/2020 21:40

Bigger boobs - blessed! 😂

The "shove it up there girls" literally has me and 11 year old painfully cringing!

Go compare man. Even in his normal getup as per the new ads.

nandaandm · 18/09/2020 21:42

Got to be the Asda advert. I have an unhealthy loathing of the Dad.

Hotwaterbottlelove · 18/09/2020 21:43

God I hate the new Asda ad. It doesn't even make sense. It is such a terrible campaign.

'This is the add you should be making'...then a whole bunch of nothing...then a really strange pocket tap.

They are trying to go for 'normal loveable family' but totally miss the mark. It makes no sense!

cricketmum84 · 18/09/2020 21:45

Had totally forgotten "Perf with surf"

Makes me want to throw things at the TV.

fairydustandpixies · 18/09/2020 21:49

WTF is parsley box? And who is June with a parsnip???

With you all on the others but the tart with 307 peppers in her fridge needs serious help...

Mercedes519 · 18/09/2020 21:51

I have never got past the Secret Escapes advert where she whispered. DH would know to turn it off as soon as it came on or I’d shout at it.

Mind you perf wiv surf comes close....or bladder leak underwear that’s pwetty

The Oral B woman got a part in the last Poirot series.

TheOrchidKiller · 18/09/2020 22:14

Graham's wife in the Rightmove ads.

Poor, long-suffering Graham going up & down those stairs to please her.
"Graaay-errm?..... Oh, doesn't matter."

I hope the new owners of his old house don't find her under the patio.

BashfulClam · 18/09/2020 23:28

Definitely the Asda ad it’s terrible and cringy! The ‘shove them up there girls!’ Well I’ve tried but I have a tilted womb so even when it touches my cervix I can feel it...every time it comes on it reminds me of the issues I have during smear tests etc...FUCK OFF! Most adverts are awful, I remember the one a few years ago about a scarf left on a bus and a bank employee going out of her way to return it...what was the message ‘use us as that bitch at Nationwide wouldn’t give a shit about your scarf!’

JustLurkingAway · 18/09/2020 23:38

The bloody moonpig advert where she's singing happy birthday to a load of people!

Greentulips1 · 18/09/2020 23:43

The fairy washing up liquid advert where instead of it being the normal fairy baby it's some weird, bald, middle aged man-baby, talking in a deep voice

Toseland · 18/09/2020 23:45

What - you’ve got through 4 pages and no mention of Barry Scott of Cillit bang!?

RosesForeverRed · 18/09/2020 23:50

That caffeine shampoo woman who whispers "over 40" i want to slap her.

When I first saw the new asda advert I could have sworn he was saying "fuck it up fuck it up"Grin

ThousandsAreSailing · 18/09/2020 23:53

Parsleybox are ready meals, like whiltshire farm foods, that don't need to be frozen. The guy is annoying. I hope he isn't an actor because he can't act

Batshitbeautycosmeticsltd · 18/09/2020 23:54

@JustLurkingAway

The bloody moonpig advert where she's singing happy birthday to a load of people!
That one enrages me.
PickAChew · 19/09/2020 00:03

I do pity poor Graham.

The baby discovering stairs is absolutely bloody adorable (from a safe distance), though.

Snowmonster · 19/09/2020 00:06

that Asda ad with that guy slapping his back pocket and it coming up 4 times on the screen........awful
