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?

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

witchofzog · 10/11/2017 10:10

Just googled. Apparently Brendan Gibson was in Mr Selfridge

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.

Strike through fail 🙄.

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!

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

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

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

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 · 10/11/2017 12:26

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

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

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

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.

EvieBlack · 10/11/2017 12:58

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 · 10/11/2017 13:05

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.

kaitlinktm · 10/11/2017 17:07

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