To hate that fucking Deliveroo advert that's on all the time?

The just eat one annoys my dh (and me by extension)
'Fancy a take-away?'
'Did somebody say just eat? Oooh'
No, nobody said just eat, she asked if he wanted a takeaway. Dh says this everytime and I want to whack him.

But I agree about the deliveroo ad and I wonder how the ad standards people allow it to be shown. Its clearly designed to show how many food places use deliveroo but very clumsily delivered (pun not intended - I think)

@ssd I'm with you on this!!! I hate the bloody thing too. AngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngry

“No carbs before Marbs, eh Karen”

Oh, so that's what she's saying??!! (Forgive me, I'm Cornish, we talk fucking weird too though Grin)

If that's what she's saying, I hate it even more now!!

Not actually noticed the Deliveroo one but the JustEat one drives me mad and has me rushing to mute it whenever it comes on.

Icecreamsoda99 · 02/11/2019 07:22

Oh gosh yes, so irritating! The only bit I like was that she gives out the Five Guys to five boys, and I only like that because it would have irrationally annoyed me if they hadn't had that detail.

morningdread · 02/11/2019 07:25

Yes THAT IS NOT HOW IT WORKS... I keep thinking.... "But the delivery charges would be fucking huge".

That's all I get from that advert, that Karen has spent £20 on ordering from 10 different places!

Baldcrusader · 02/11/2019 07:34

Urge to say ooooooooo rising.

Am I missing something about these companies though? Aren't they simply food taxi services?

Otavis · 02/11/2019 07:37

Which is the one where the guy inexplicably rips his T-shirt to pieces while answering the door to a food delivery?

Vilanelle · 02/11/2019 07:43

If every member of my family wanted to order from a different takeaway, I'd be telling them to fuck off.

topcat2014 · 02/11/2019 08:09

Fortunately I am too tight to pay for a cold mcd to be cycled across town, so I can tune these out. Dd and I like seeing how low the food hygiene scores are on the just eat takeaways in our town

NameChange84 · 02/11/2019 08:17

Oh no Blush the actress in the advert (Natalie Grady) is someone I know in real life. She's lovely and actually a very talented and succesful actress. That's not her natural accent that she is using in the commercial.

Just because it's a friend, understandably I quite enjoy seeing the advert and hope it means more money for Nat everytime its shown!

ssd · 02/11/2019 08:53

I wonder if the advert will plague her for years to come then?

I doubt it, who actually remembers the people who "star" in adverts? Apart from Barry Scott that is.

She's just an actor doing a job.

ssd · 02/11/2019 08:58

I'd remember her.

OP posts:
NameChange84 · 02/11/2019 08:59

I highly doubt it. The advert is very different from the usual work she does and this is a real departure from her usual "type". I didn't realise it was her at first.

SpookilyBadOooooooh · 02/11/2019 09:03

I rarely watch ‘live’ TV - 98% recorded do I can FF the Ads.

However, I’ve been watching the Rugby & other things so seen some adverts

I don’t mind these two, too much (I’ve been surprised not to see threads on here about them though 🤣) but the one I HATE is the Virgin one with the kid who says she can ‘friend’ etc 😡😤🤯

CooperLooper · 02/11/2019 09:05

WAG ERRRR MA MEERRRRSSSS fucking hate it fuck off fuck off fuck off

ChilledBee · 02/11/2019 09:05

I hate that disgusting Tesco advert when the dad cooks sausages in a pot of beans and calls it a casserole.

NameChange84 · 02/11/2019 09:07

Might it be that some people just don't like to hear a regional accent?

I'm not one of them, but some people, lots of people actually, in some parts of the country say Waggermammas.

misspiggy19 · 02/11/2019 09:09

Carbs before Marbs? Who even says that?

SpookilyBadOooooooh · 02/11/2019 09:13

@NameChange84. I like Natalie & her accent is great (especially if not natural)

It’s a shame Deliveroo doesn’t actually work like that - not her fault though. I’ll be surprised if the advert doesn’t get pulled for being inaccurate like their previous one did

My favourite ads (not that anyone was asking 🤣😂🤣😂) is the Flash series with the gorgeous dog - but I know there have been threads complaining about that one too!

SpookilyBadOooooooh · 02/11/2019 09:16

How exactly is one supposed to say Wagga Mammas? Then?? I think she says it just fine 🤷🏻‍♀️

NameChange84 · 02/11/2019 09:18

@SpookilyBadOooooooh the dog advert is one of my favourites too! I want to adopt him.

misspiggy19 · 02/11/2019 09:20

@ChilledBee

I don’t see why it is “disgusting”

EleanorReally · 02/11/2019 09:23

so deliveroo doesnt even work like that?
the advert surely will be pulled, and your poor friend @NameChange84

pehraps for Natalie's sake we shouldnt make too much of a deal about it
