Call me stupid (I am!) but I don’t understand this ad!

[Dontate]

The one where it says that dogs have hands too so we should look after them. But it’s an ad for doggy dental sticks or something. Please enlighten me :)

And feel free to bring up ads you don’t understand so that I feel less alone with my stupidity!

It means that dogs use their teeth the way people use their hands so you need to look after them. I only got that after about the 3rd time of watching though and I have a dog. It's not a good ad!

I just googled the ad and I think I have an answer for you! Basically, the idea is that dogs use their mouths like we use our hands (i.e to hold things), so owners need to help look after their dog’s teeth and gums etc.

Aha! Thank you both!

It is so twee and cringeworthy though.

"Dogs have hands too!" in the sort of voice usually reserved for asking someone over the age of 95 whether they would like a nice cup of tea.

There seems to be a crop of cringey twee adverts at the minute! The one for comfort (I think) where the woman shouts “WHAT IS IT?” sets my teeth on edge every time!

Dominos....why are they yodelling? Surely they'd just bloody text...

Also when the other woman says "Mine" I can't stand that. They sound about 5 years old.

There's a clever way of making you remember ads and annoying the fuck out of you is one of them :)

I tend to click away from ads but one I have seen several times and still have no idea what it is for is where young white woman is in a room, seems frustrated , young black woman appears, they bump fists, room disappears, white woman is wandering round outside bumping fists with all and sundry, manically grinning, finishes by somehow pushing a middle aged man on edge of a lake into water and there is the young woman grinning and the young black woman reappears and they all grin happily ever after. Some details may be wrong but I have no idea what this is for except the "oh we need to have more black people in our ads giving the help and support all the white people need ", panic the ad people seem to have had recently.

All it makes me think of is the nasty case recently where a fisherman was randomly shoved into a lake by a lout and saved by a young woman. I don't think they are selling random loutishness. Who knows.

The Marc Jacobs Daisy advert. Why are they all just repeatedly saying Daisy?! So annoying!

Yes. Most seem to be going down the annoying route though. I had the jingle for a radio advert stuck in my head on loop the other night.

What on earth is that yodelling one? Makes me want to put my foot through the TV.

I don't think annoying me with an advert is going to make me want to buy what they are selling TBF. If I knew what it was that is...

The “let’s annoy everyone” tactic is clever - certainly makes you remember the ads. But as previous poster says, doesn’t incline me to buy!

@tomorrowalready that one is for some sort of phone deal I think?

Hello Fresh advert really annoys me, with that irritating woman. Also 'Hello Fresh' sounds like some kind of sanitary towel, quite off putting in a food advert.

Why does the Gucci Guilty advert have an ostrich wandering round a supermarket/

Almost makes me long for the good old days....

Oh god the Daisy advert. my six year old likes nothing more than going round the house screeching ‘Daisy, Daisy, Daisy, Daisy…’ ad infinitum in some kind of hideous zombie voice.

That yodelling one makes me think about people with poor vision, what do they make of it?

I loathe the yodelling one and the Ocado one makes me irrationally angry. It doesn’t make me want to buy from Ocado either. I also loathe the Funding Circle with the talking baby. I hate all those computer generated talking baby ads.

I shall just say Innovo !

What is it advertising?

Some takeaway app I think deliveroo or some such.

I think the yodelling one is for Dominos pizza.

I don’t like the one for hair colour with Stacey Dooley is it? Where they say “She does Stacey”, and she says “Yes, she does!”

Probably quicker to list the ads I do like!

There is a billboard campaign I think for lungworm in dogs - where people are crying slugs - it is horrific.
