To want to be sick when the Wayfair ad comes on tv?

I just can't stand how Lorraine Kelly simpers her way through it... "Kate" this and "Kate" that and "Ooh I like Wayfair"
God I feel murderous and I'm usually a very placid woman!

FFS, the SISTERS are driving me mad. Awful, awful ad. Will never go to Nationwide for anything now.

Springtrolls · 05/02/2018 20:31

The mouthwash wine ad as well is another.
Nothing wrong with cheap wine. Although the wine they are trying to flog isn't cheap.
They've done a few the dodgy wine, salmon and some others.

Why is Lorraine stalking Kate? Why is she being a noisy bag around her house? And that dance at the end. I am never buying anything from Wayfair

Sparklingbrook · 05/02/2018 20:47

Lorraine only works for 3/4 of an hour a day, she fills the rest of her time nosing around people's homes checking out their soft furnishings and rating them in terms of fanciness.

MsJuniper · 05/02/2018 20:51

Also "Kate" says the line about luxe wrong. I don't understand why the director didn't do a retake.

MrsPicklesonSmythe · 05/02/2018 20:55

I don’t have the time to get angry over this. I’m too busy spitting venom and THAT FUCKING TUI ‘AIN’T NOBODY’ WOMAN.

I hate her with such a fiery passion that I will boycott TUI forever.

PasDeDeux · 05/02/2018 21:01

Can anyone post a link to the advert, I cant find it on Youtube.

PasDeDeux · 05/02/2018 21:30

Thanks Sparkling. Omg what a cringe fest. Just when I thought it couldnt get worse she did the dance at the end!!

Sparklingbrook · 05/02/2018 21:30

YY the dance. Horrific really. Fancy dancing.

Helendee · 05/02/2018 21:40

I'm SO glad it isn't just me. 😉

Those beige slacks

That fucking demonic little dance at the end

I hate it. Don't these people have enough money they need to flog shit like this ? I am looking at you too Philip Smug Twat Schofield

I always wonder whether minor celebs promoting things does more harm than good. Unless you completely worship them I can't believe that people would act like OMG Lorraine Kelly/Nichole Sherzinger loves Wayfair/Muller Yoghurt - I'm going to check it out! As evidenced in this thread, including the Nationwide singers, more people seem more determined to deliberately not spend their money at these places/on these products

YetAnotherNC2017 · 05/02/2018 21:56

The only time I’ve seen this advert is before, after or during the LK show (which makes me want to hurl)

This genuinely is the cringiest ad ever.

The only thing missing is “it’s lovely, it reeeally is!”

MammaTJ · 05/02/2018 22:22

Well, I have finally got to look at the website without putting in my email address, which I was determined not to do, thanks to the helpful link posted upthread. I am looking for bar stools. I will not be paying £64 for an apple crate one! www.wayfair.co.uk/furniture/sb0/short-bar-stools-c1868505.html?curpage=3 (appears twice on the page, first time bout half way down)

Sparklingbrook · 05/02/2018 22:25

Ha ha ha that apple crate. Looks like something from Kirsty's Home Made Crapola. And what a bargain!

MammaTJ · 05/02/2018 22:28

It's actually £164! typing error of £100! Grin

MammaTJ · 05/02/2018 22:29

Sparkling, I was thinking I could easily make them myself, and probably nicer. Well, you know, by buying a nicer one from Ikea and putting the kit together.

TinyPaws · 05/02/2018 22:41

YANBU I frickin hate that ad

Springtrolls · 05/02/2018 22:43

Damn mine are on there. Hope people don't think I paid £70 each, didn't even spend that on the pair of them. I wonder if they come under the fancy category.

Springtrolls · 05/02/2018 22:45

Oh damn just found a storage system also overpriced on there. Got it a lot cheaper from Amazon.

neatsm · 27/01/2019 12:30

I have to turn the tv over when this ad comes on Lorraine Kelly grates on me. I just can't watch or listen to her. How is she on TV so much.

PlainVanilla · 27/01/2019 13:05

Overuse of "too" which really grates.

Sparklingbrook · 27/01/2019 13:06

This thread is a year old nearly and that stupis ad is still on with LW still wanting to be fancy. Angry
