To hate the NatWest poetry adverts with a fucking passion

[Queenbean]

I hate them. They are so utterly shit. Badly acted. Terrible poetry. Pointless.

Actually no point in asking if IABU because I am definitely definitely not

OMG, yes, the faded mugs and famine bit make me furious too.

Faded mugs do not make me think of a cosy home, they make me think of the scummy kitchen at work.

And famine? Seriously? If you spent more time learning to fucking cook and less time writing shite poems, maybe you wouldn't be quite so fucking hungry, you self-absorbed twat.

I assumed the bloke sitting on the step wanging on about whatever it is was an actor. But he's an actual poet.

I hate these as well! But someone in the focus group must have liked them, or perhaps they were all too afraid to admit the poetry is crap.

It also made me think how I don't like (some) poetry, there's one that is boring and I get irritated half way through.

Someone must like them, but who?

I'm glad you corrected it to Nationwide... allow me to paraphrase : "loud music whenever, cos this 'ouse is mine" I think NOT!!!!

Glad I'm not the only one. I can't stand them.

why is so much poetry like this? Someone said upthread they are always read with such earnest (or somthing), is it to hide the fact its utter shite? Its not edgy, its not enlightening, its not thought provoking, it's just drivel.

Sorry queen just seen it was you who said extra earnest.

I've been watching 4od box sets. And yes, every time it comes on I feel like giving up. Sometimes there's an advert after it as well.

Hate Nationwide anyway, especially hate these ads!

So relieved it's not just me. Dh thinks they're quite good I just can't stand it.

Oh thank god. I thought it was just me. They're ok first time round but they go on too long.

Nationwide poetry ads
Addle my brain, they do.
They won't buy me a house
Not fit for a mouse
And my flat always smells of poo.

Nationwide ads are boring
And 💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤
Sorry, did I nod off?
Excuse me I I was snoring.

Sit on chair
Wondering why it is there.
Here we are, no reason, no why.
Life is such, we all muddle through.
A foot here, a foot out of place
Oh no! Does anyone care?
Its all in our heads.
If they don't care.
Why? why? Why Do we?

Random drivel from twatty

awaits nationwide's call

Oh god yes! Dp and I have declared them the worst adverts ever to be created and they must be killed until they are dead!

How strange - I really like them!

I don't get the point of them but I love Hollie McNish's poetry, I think she's fantastic. Her book is excellent.

And the NoBellEnd Prize goes to Unilever!

Sorry, wrong thread.

The NoBellEnd Prize for Crap Adverts goes to Nationwide.

On your side.

And what's with the mockney accent?! It's like they're trying to sound down with the kids

Maybe it's all part of a cunning plan. They're SOOO cringey that people can't not take notice of them, so it's getting NatWest in people's minds. And now on social media too. Well done, Nat West!
