To be annoyed at the Rob Brydon P&O advert?

Just saw this for the first time- am I being unreasonable to be annoyed by the bit where he and another chap are sitting at the table and it says something like 'saying hello to the Spanish shops' as it shows the women skipping off, and 'saying goodbye to your credit card' as the blokes sit down at the table watching them go... I've assumed the implication was that the women were going to blow all the men's money (as they can't possibly have their own) but maybe not. For some reason it's really narked me off!

What about the zoopla advert with the nutty woman clawing at the wall and the carpet? Oh she's just so wacky and fun (no she is not she's an idiot)

There was a hotel advert not long ago where all the men in it were well dressed businessmen or otherwise serious and professional looking. The women were either wives and mothers or a gang of wackily dressed, over made up "shoppers" throwing themselves on the hotel beds, hysterically laughing with masses of brightly coloured shopping bags flying everywhere Hmm

My kids love that brother Coke advert though.

the café in Scotland
Coffee, Mr Wolf. Cream and lots of sugar' 'Thanks Morag'

'You're a property magnate' 'No it's just my wife's old flat'

I love those ads.

Emmy nominated actress. Feck off love.

Any Haribo, especially the latest train station one.
Anything from Tesco
Any bingo advert
P&O
Most of them really- they're all pretty rubbish.

I'm on maternity with a tiny baby so watch daytime TV quite a lot all day
I'm forever singing Gladstone Brooks or Have I Got PPI Dot Com.
I want to top myself.

After reading a lot of depressing shit on here, this thread is making me laugh out loud. Thank you OP

On certain daytime channels there are a fuckton of funeral ones that really boil my piss.

"I'd love a funeral like Ada's.' 'Well if you don't buy this amazing product with a Lifetime Guarantee your grandchildren will be sold to pay for your funeral' 'oh no! what's this Lifetime Guarantee then?' 'The only thing standing between you and a shallow grave on the local roundabout'

Also a chair one where a nice middle aged lady has invited two of her mates to sit on her uncomfortable looking sofa, whilst she hovers irritatingly close with what looks like a bottle of Perrier water. Perrier water! Such fun!

I'd like to squirt a bottle of Cilit fucking bang in that twat Barry Scotts eyes.

Can I just ask WTAF that ad is for a car called the "Duster"? It uses Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust" really really badly.

I haaaaaaaaate it Angry

I find the Maltesers advert where one of them fails to get an acting job, really sexist and like something from the 1970's. The Chicken Madras girl reminds me of Holly Valance, I know her sister is also an actress, but am unsure whether it is her or not.

kennyp · 11/02/2016 18:16

try saying mattesons without saying mmmmmm

i lovvvvvvvvvve the haribo adverts although it doesnt make me buy them.
and the chicken madras advert doesnt get on ma tits neither.

although if i said you had a beautiful bhaji would you hold it against me?

Yes, the bloody Dacia bloody Duster! I can't understand how an entire advertising agency and its client approximately that.

EssentialHummus · 11/02/2016 18:23

*approved!

absolutelynotfabulous · 11/02/2016 18:57

I think the one that boils my pee most is the one where annoying cute little kids are asked how clean their botties are after using said product (can't even remember-Andrex?).

Ooh..like a potato..
Ooh..like a hippopotamus..
Wtf?

And that one where mummy just HAS to get a new fridge for Jocasta's cookery project Right Now.

And don't get me started on Winston Wolfe...surely that actor-can't remember his name either-isn't as desperate as THAT.

Oddoneout63 · 12/02/2016 12:20

What about those awful Tena-lady ad's for their knickers, where the women are dancing around joyfully and no-one would ever know they were actually peeing themselves at the time??

Sometimes they seem to be on before the 'watershed' and I have 3 teenage sons! Don't know who gets more embarrassed! I haven't 'got there' yet, but if and when I do, I don't want my boys [or anyone else for that matter] to have to wonder what undies I'm wearing - ever!

iklboo · 12/02/2016 12:52

There was a Love Honey advert on the other night. I nearly dropped my crocheting into me cocoa!!

mamacasshadahairyass · 12/02/2016 14:16

I have to mute 2 at the moment becasue they make my piss boil:

Thomas Cook and the kid jumping about by the pool, then doing god knows what in the pool (cos it's not swimming)

Money Supermarket(?) one with a bodyguard bodypopping to someone rapping 'the big bad wolf' repeatedly.

Im getting annoyed just thinking about them Angry

glueandstick · 12/02/2016 15:33

The one about bacterial vaginosis is fairly rank. I was fairly sure they said 'internet health' to start with and didn't really fancy finishing my lunch when it really wasn't. Serves me right for watching daytime TV.

absolutelynotfabulous · 12/02/2016 16:14

I hate the Big Bad Wolf thing. Is that the one with the crotch-grabbing?
