Why does the kid from the Amazon advert think he’ll be able to skateboard on sad?

Title meant to read ‘sand’, don’t think I can edit

And then looks all sad when it obviously doesn’t work.

That is all.

I had the exact same thought.
So glad Amazon was able to really turn the boys life around though. Thank fuck for amazon.

I feel really sorry for him

Title meant to read ‘sand’ not ‘sad’. Now I’m as thick as skateboard kid 🤦‍♀️

😂😂😂😂

Just seen this ad and thought the exact same thing. Maybe he’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer, poor wee mite.

The other advert that annoys me is the yoghurt advert with the teacher who wants to lick the lid. Do people really think that is what school lunchtimes are like?

Just watched that advert in a coastal surfing town where loads of shops are going bust because all us rich people prefer paying delivery fees for amazon.

Also I doubt a boy used to the city and skateboarding is instantly going to enjoy surfing especially where he was as it looked a bit cold 🥶

Most seaside towns near me have good large pathways, ideal for skateboarding.

That advert gets on my nerves, always on during married at first sight 🙄

DH and I said the same thing Not the sharpest tool in the shed is he? 😂

I judge the mother for taking her teen away from the city and his mates to go and live in the wilderness with no friends.
Not good for his mental health or development!

Totally....can you imagine the aibu?

It’s because he’s a city boy never having seen the seaside I assumed? It is stupid though.

It is daft. Even if the boy had always lived there and only seen skateboarding on the internet, surely he'd realise that you can't skate on sand. What I find baffling is the Cadbury's Dairy Milk adverts of utter misery. The latest one is the most cynical if they think their crappy chocolate will make things better.

His mum could afford an expensive house right on thr beach I'm sure they would have been on holiday.

Also, who would buy a house that is in danger of coastal erosion?

This. By the time that boy is in his mid twenties that house is going to be at the bottom of the sea.

Aye but he'll be good at surfing

So glad someone started this thread. I had exactly the same thought.
And didn't he look out, see the surfing in the sea, meet some other local teenagers and ask for a surfboard from the local surf shop.

To be fair that wouldn't be a great advert for Amazon

I haven’t seen it but it sounds stupid! An Amazon driver nearly ran me over today mounting the curb to try to park while I was waiting to cross the road 😡.
