This is not a funny ad

How on earth did the manager go “yes! Perfect!”

Huh? I don’t even get it. I’d volunteer for punching him in the face though. For the greater good, of course Wink

Report the ad - he will end up at least getting his Facebook ad account banned if enough do it

In context of thread I'm not sure women saying they'd punch their ex for some prosecco really hits the right tone.

If mn can say it why can't he?

As presumably a crazed mra, that would support his views 100% that women are hypocrites who dish it out but can't take it (words, maybe punches too).

TwistyTop · 28/07/2019 12:29

There isn't a joke there, it doesn't make sense. He's just being intentionally provocative to grab attention. Also the food looks shit. It's not even a good picture.

Already have @MyKingdomForACaramel Wink

I do wonder how they’d respond if someone does punch their ex in the face and expect a steak...?

Zaphodsotherhead · 28/07/2019 12:40

That steak looks as though it's been run over.

And why so Many Capitals?

Andysbestadventure · 28/07/2019 12:40

Look at the tripadvisor reviews they already have 😂 the place is a shithole obviously

Fraggling · 28/07/2019 12:41

With glee i imagine.
If i was a local man who could prove he'd punched his ex I'm the face i might try for a steak, wonder if he has thought this through.
I kind of hope all of the awful aggressive violent men in the locality rock up and demand their free steaks.

IncrediblySadToo · 28/07/2019 12:44

Would they do him for inciting violence? What are the local police like?

paffuto · 28/07/2019 12:49

Have they run out of plates?

Fraggling · 28/07/2019 12:49

I don't think the police are interested in this sort of thing tbh

Maybe if it referenced a hate crime category rather than just women who are not on that list.

Fraggling · 28/07/2019 12:50

You need the we want plates facebook group paffuto!

ClownOnCruise · 28/07/2019 12:57

The reviews on trip advisor are really bad.

TriptychDebbie · 28/07/2019 13:01

Wow, those reviews Confused

StealthPolarBear · 28/07/2019 13:02

Awful advert. And the food looks awful too.

Cheeserton · 28/07/2019 13:05

YANBU, but this is pretty old now and already been done. It's obviously not OK on any level.

MissPollyHadADolly19 · 28/07/2019 13:07

I'm unsure of this.
I've seen similar posts, albeit not actual adverts, asking if you would slap your sibling/friend for £1000. Is it a play on that joke?
Idk, either way it's shit and the steak looks naff too.

Oysterbabe · 28/07/2019 13:09

It just doesn't work as a joke. It needs to be something like Punch your nan in the face for a steak, implying the steak is so good you'd do something terrible to get one. Punch your ex and get a steak is kinda win win.

daisychain01 · 28/07/2019 13:18

I’m assuming the campaign is “punch your ex in the face, prove it and we will give you a free steak hahaha”

The bloke must be thick as mince not to know it promotes violence.

Jeez, if he had half a brain cell he'd be dangerous.

Fraggling · 28/07/2019 13:18

Misspolly not actual adverts might be relevant a little bit, don't you think?

Oyster glad to see someone on the publicans wavelength. Can i ask what you find funny about a man seeking out his ex and violently assaulting her? It happens quite a lot, you must be in stitches when you read the news.

loveyou3000 · 28/07/2019 13:20

Common "joke" post at the moment to generate comments and likes. "would you punch your ex for £1Mil?" queue "lol I'd do it for free" comments. It isn't funny, and it's not being oversensive or not having a sense of humour they're just stupid posts.

midlifecrash · 28/07/2019 13:20

Would you pipe bomb the shitty unpleasant premises for a free grilled chicken breast and green salad Dmacka?
Of course I am not suggesting for a moment anyone does this, just a bit of fun...

PancakeAndKeith · 28/07/2019 13:21

It looks like a crap meal as well.

HennyPennyHorror · 28/07/2019 13:22

Why are you sharing it? You're just contributing to the stupid people getting more likes and shares.
