To seriously consider complaining about this telly advert for no other reason than it makes me feel SICK?

That Philadelphia one where there is a male chef and a lady cooking some rancid dinner made out of meatballs that look like fucking little dog shit pellets mixed in with Philadelphia and green stuff.

Honestly, it makes me wretch. I've never had such an aversion to something on the telly. I've had no appetite for a week and am trying to get it back the this pops up on the telly every 5 minutes and makes my stomach wince.

It's disgusting and I want it taken off air immediately.

I can't understand that advert either. Presumably the point is to make you want to buy Philadelphia, not disgust you.

The final meal looks like vomit.

WilsonFrickett · 02/11/2011 12:03

Soooooooooooooo not BU.

Who in the name of Actual Feck would serve that to people?

worraliberty · 02/11/2011 12:03

The Chef's face makes me laugh...he can't hide the fact he clearly finds it as vile as it looks Grin

BupcakesandHaunting · 02/11/2011 12:05

It looks like fucking congealed shit I am getting angry just typing about it. Why are they so insistent on trying to persuade us to use Philadelphia as a cooking ingredient anyway?! It's cream cheese. You spread it on digestives and that has been enough to keep it going for years. We don't need to make beef nuts mixed in Philadelphia with green shit, thank.

It looks like a weird attack of thrush

Fluffycloudland77 · 02/11/2011 12:08

I hate most adverts, patronising just sums them up.

JaneBirkin · 02/11/2011 12:09

Oh I have missed this. thankfully.

Glitterkitten · 02/11/2011 12:11

errrmmm,

I actually made this (didn't plan to but with nothing but sausages and philli in the fridge it just kind of happened)

it was nice actually.

BupcakesandHaunting · 02/11/2011 12:12

"It looks like a weird attack of thrush"

It looks like something that would be present in a petry dish on a vet's table after performing bowel emptying surgery on a particularly gluttonous cow.

Oh I totally agree with you - it looks like congealed vomit, or rancid milk mixed with petrified cat shits.

The smug look on the female cook's face belies the fact that what she has just created looks abysmal. Who the hell thought meatballs and philadelphia would be a good combo? It's like the Hellmann's advert, where they tell you to put a dollop of mayo in your mash potato, the dirty, depraved bastards.

BupcakesandHaunting · 02/11/2011 12:13

Not a petry dish. One of those metal kidney shaped bowls what they put stuff in during operations.

OH GOD IT'S JUST BEEN ON AGAIN. Angry

ChaosTrulyReigns · 02/11/2011 12:14

Oh.

I made that last night.

It was quite pleasant.

You lot are too finnicky.

ripstheirthroatoutliveupstairs · 02/11/2011 12:15

I haven't seen the advert but I did just really LOL at dirty depraved bastards.
In the defence of Hellmans, I have made a chicken thing where the ingredients are just mustard and mayo. Sounds disgusting but it's actually quite nice.

GetOrfMo1Land · 02/11/2011 12:15

How did you manage to make meatballs and cream cheese combine without looking like cat yack, chaos?

valiumredhead · 02/11/2011 12:16

It looks foul doesn't it? Blerk!

GetOrfMo1Land · 02/11/2011 12:16

Yes but rips - have you put mayo in yer mash?

BupcakesandHaunting · 02/11/2011 12:17

Chaos, you filthy murderous cow.

My daughter makes some odd creations - she loves cooking, and likes to be inventive . Heston Blumenthal she aint.

Worst things she has made are

A pink grapefruit, feta, pomegranate and mint salad

Anchovy and bacon and broad bean bruschetta

Bless her not really I had to bloody eat that shit

DamselInDisarray · 02/11/2011 12:18

People actually watched the advert and thought: 'oh, I think I'll have a go at making that'!!!! How? Confused

GetOrf: that sounds positively delightful in comparison to my sister's pickled onions in everything phase. Pasta sauce made of tinned tomatoes and picked onions and nothing else is not good. It mostly tastes like malt vinegar, and doesn't look good either.

BupcakesandHaunting · 02/11/2011 12:22

GetOrf, you DD has potential. For sure.

Let's face it, we've all got potential if you can get on telly by sending in your turgid recipes and something as vaile as beef olive shitballs with soft cheese gets picked to star on the telly.

GetOrfMo1Land · 02/11/2011 12:23

Pasta sauce with tomatoes and pickled onions! It must have looked like sheeps eyes in blood!

galaxy yes the sauce needs something extra, insertion into the nearest bin, and the addition of someone ringing the local chinese takeaway.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 02/11/2011 12:23

Nope.

I am a lie-ist.

I cannot entertain the idea of cooking with Philadelphia. I'd rather give John McCrirrick a pedicure using my teeth as nail clippers.
