Dulux paint advert

The one with the weird culty people singing tweely in green.

Anyone else just "ugggghhhh, grrrrrrr!" about it? I have to turn the sound down immediately and look away so don't actually know what they're singing. And I thought the nationwide poems were the nadir. Most adverts turn me off but this Dulux one is new levels of ghastly.

Is it not Crown Paint advert?

Mamette · 31/08/2022 21:39

It’a Crown not Dulux but yes, it is next level shite.

This bear is fully grown - what tf

and they said he’s 30 something

I can’t cope with it

Dulux adverts are awful and a recent one generated so many complaints it isn't shown now.
The advert that really winds me up is the cartoon of a mum and little child on a bench. The child talks but I can't understand a word she says. The advert is for nuggets of some description which look like the absolute worst fake junk food. Just awful.

Sorry, Crown - advertising is obviously lost on me!

I didn’t really notice the outfits, I was too busy shielding my eyes from their smug expressions.

Mamette · 31/08/2022 21:51

This is another sign from the universe that I need to cut right back on screen time.

She’d banging on about vegan chicken (?) fingers and that if the kids don’t like them,it’ll be ‘remembered as the thing mum cooked one night,but nobody liked them’

i hate that advert with a passion-why can’t dad bloody cook them for starters?

the mum has fear in her eyes over the fact they MIGHT not like something,and that would be worse than death as we can’t try kids on something new,just in case they hate it

it was trial and error when mine where little-somethings they liked,others they hated-nobody was forced to eat something they didn’t like

I really hate the newish Nationwide ad where the main (v. annoying) character of the three talks about being a "strong, independent woman" amidst the Cost of Living Crisis. Yes, the message of communication and telling those close to you your worries and fears etc at the moment is admirable, but I still find the advert awful and cringeworthy!

Tromboleese · 01/09/2022 03:47

Yes, dreadful advert and it has put me off their paint. WTF has “piercings down there” got to do with paint? Load of old shite!
