I feel as clean as a spoon in a circus. Oh just do one. Aibu to hate this advert now?

[witchofzog]

It might have been a smidge funny the first time but now it's not cute and it's as boring and irritating as fuck. Is it just me who hates the Andrex advert?

[kaitlinktm]

Evie was talking about me - I thought he was Mr S but now I know better!

[soupforbrains]

I wasn't responding to you Evil I was just giving the information so that the situation would be clarified for those who were confused.

[EvieBlack]

I didn’t say Brendan Gibson wasn’t IN Mr Selfridge.

I said he wasn’t Mr Selfridge, in response to a poster who said she thought he was.

[soupforbrains]

Brendan Gibson was in two episodes of Mr Selfridge and played 'Harry's Father' HTH

Mustang I liked the Marmite one with the RSPCA style rescue team.

[NorthCoast]

I have to change channel if the VIPoo advert comes on otherwise something gets thrown.

Another household that loves 'WAT DOING?' as well though.

[kaitlinktm]

What? Damn - as you were, back to being wrong.

[charlestonchaplin]

Brendan Gibson was apparently in Mr Selfridge (can't remember) but he didn't play the part of Mr Selfridge. That was Jeremy Piven.

[kaitlinktm]

Just googled. Apparently Brendan Gibson was in Mr Selfridge

Yay - I got it right then (a pp said it wasn't the same person).

[Mustang27]

You were U to find it funny in the first place!!! Lol

I love the marmite adds other than that all adverts get ignored.

[ElsieMc]

Absolutely hated this advert from the start, just awful. Whoever told them it was remotely funny.

I also hate the daytime tv ad with older people in a garden centre admiring lillies and saying what a great funeral their mate had and how they could never afford a send off like that.

The false laughter of the men at the end reminiscent of a 70's sitcom makes me want to commit violence that will make them use their bloody funeral plan sooner than anticipated. They cannot wait for their own funerals, its so exciting!

[BluthsFrozenBananas]

Strike through fail 🙄.

[BluthsFrozenBananas]

I don’t think adverts were better back in the day, I’ve spent —many hours of my life— the odd ten minutes watching old ads on YouTube and the bulk of them are instantly forgettable. We just tend to remember the few classics fondly.

Just googled. Apparently Brendan Gibson was in Mr Selfridge

[CarpeVitam]

I’m with you OP, that ad gets on my last nerve!

[Nanny0gg]

There are absolutely no future advertising 'classics' around any more.

[kaitlinktm]

Dairy Milk boogie man is indeed Brendan Gibson but he wasn’t mr selfridge.

Doh - trust me to get it wrong.

[DaftCat]

I thought it was just me who fancied the Dairy Milk man! It’s a proper treat when the full length version is on.

[witchofzog]

Yes Baggy that's exactly it. His twinkle makes him look like he could be funny and filthy in equal measures

[BaggypantsCrimplesnitch]

Yy to the annoying kids in the Andrex adverts - bring back the real puppies, now they WERE cute!

Nicole Skirtswinger

Another fan of the Dairy Milk guy in the office. I think a lot of it is the little twinkle and smirk he does to the camera near the beginning - you can tell he's having trouble taking it seriously!

[witchofzog]

Who remembers the fuji skeleton? I loved that. And the milky way red car and blue car 😊

[soupforbrains]

Steak yes I loved that snickers ad too.** “Shut it shrimpy”

Sarah I’m pretty sure the daddy or chips one was McCain’s Oven Chips though.* It was good.*

[witchofzog]

Dairy milk guy lovers. Who is Mr Selfridge? I posted about him once a few months ago and a poster replied saying seriously not joking that he was her dp.

YES to the oral B ones. Especially the stupid bint who didn't know they made toothpaste. What did she THINK they made ?

[firsttimemama89]

Agree!
Emily Norris one of my favourite bloggers was cast in it with her children and the production looked dire

Watch here

The Fairy Biker Baby - just who is that aimed at ? Mothers with Hells Angel Babies? Hells Angel Bikers who wash up? Who?

And the Squealy 99 calories woman is just crap. I can't imagine who sits in an office and thinks 'I know! everyone around will fall over jsut because she is eating a yoghurt so low in taste and high in sugar - It's inspiring, no?'

In fact I can't imagine how most ads these days got off the table.
