Reference to parental sex in advert for margerine

[lessonsintightropes]

In the new flora buttery advert - describes a situation where two DSs walk in on parents 'wrestling'. AIBU to think this is slightly odd?

Depends...what were they using the marge for?

I hate that ad. It's just so...icky!

Sex sells everything.

But the wrestling advert is certainly weird.

Depends...what were they using the marge for?

Bumsex.

That's why the kids thought they were wrestling.

Mairzy for buttering toast for the parents' post-coital snack. (After all that wrestling they were hungry... a good job we made all the toast.) Yuk!

It's not new where have you been?
It's pathetic and shit though.

Stupid ad.

And very cringeworthy.

Fut I don't watch a lot of telly with adverts (mainly a boxsetter), just stumbled across it on telly and was a bit aghast.

YANBU IMO.

I watched that add. with a bit of a cross between a and a face on.

Margarine ... sex ... kids ... parents ...

YANBU, I hate this advert. Bit too Last Tango In Paris for my taste maybe that's because I'm a filthy bitch

Either I have a weird sense of humour or you all have had a humour bypass.

I can't stand that ad either

We have bitched about that stupid advert MANY times already. Yanbu.

It's really really odd, it's not at all offensive but it's not at all funny either. It just falls flat and is a bit off.

I don't see an issue with it at all, can't say it's an ad I like but I don't tend to like ads in general

It's worked though as it's got people talking!

Yep.

They've certainly come at it from a weird angle.

Maybe that's why they needed the Marg.

YANBU. It leapt out at me the first time I heard it. I'm no prude, but I do think it's grossly inappropriate.

I'm not trying to say it's offensive, sorry if I wasn't clear, I just think it's really, really weird and can't think that something I would be personally a bit embarassed about (being walked in on by children whilst having sex) is such a great thing to use to sell... margerine. Or anything else for that matter!

Pictures of it oozing down a crumpet, with no voice over, maybe with some Bach in the background, would make it far more appealing...

Fair enough, but I still don't think it's remotely appropriate for daytime, family-themed adverts. And, like you say, just why?? Weird as hell.

I thought it was funny, but yes, totally crazy that they'd use sex in a flora advert!
It was more 'WTF?!' funny than hilarious funny.

It's really icky.

My 11yo dd told me about it before I saw it. She was horrified. I found it nasty too.

Hate this advert. So juvenile, not funny.

I've seen that ad and it is ewww, and cringeworthy to watch. Each time I see it, I wonder how it got through the focus groups!

Oh my god, YADNBU - I HATE this advert, it gives me the rage!
