to have the rage over that Walkers Mariah Carey ad?

FFS. It's the start of Novermber and I have to bear Ms Carey with her plastic face warbling about what she wants for Christmas just as she has done since 1992. Her acting is atrocious. She has about one line and can't even deliver that convincingly, probably because her face won't move. The song is shite and who wants fucking brussels sprouts flavoured crisps anyway?

Fuck off Mariah and bring back Gary.

Also I don;t buy into the idea that just because something is done by a woman or features a woman the rest of us all have to support her no matter what.

No, but it's possible to be unsupportive without tearing her appearance to shreds.

Amanduh · 09/11/2019 13:50

It’s amazing! And she’s a LOT less annoying than bloody Lineker.

ilovesooty · 09/11/2019 13:55

Another with the rage. So many of them. No one forces you to watch it.

Snugglepiggy · 09/11/2019 13:55

What annoys me more than the advert itself is that's it's aired before we even get Bonfire night out of the way.The onslaught of ever earlier Xmas marketing spoils it for me.

TanselleTooTall · 09/11/2019 13:56

Blimey, so much seething!

I don't think she's had facial surgery. She's aging well IMO partly because she's filled out a bit.
I really like her. She's so over the top, I can't help but not like her!
She's been around a long time for the music industry and her accomplishments are nothing short of incredible in her career. I love the quirky fun fact that she's Patti Label's goddaughter. She's worked alongside the musical greats and earned their praise. For someone who's just a singer, who's seen many people come and go over the years which is no mean feat, she's earned a right to be batty! If Miss Piggy were a real person, Mariah Carey wouldn't be too far off from how I could imagine her to be.

I like it. I think its funny.

And its the 9th Nov today. The 1st was over a week ago.

HelenaDove · 09/11/2019 14:25

Flavours are Brussels Sprouts Turkey and Stuffing and Pigs in Blankets in the Sprout Lovers multipack.

Glazed Ham Cheese+ Cranberry and Turkey+Stuffing in the Sprout Haters multipack.

P1nkHeartLovesCake · 09/11/2019 14:28

It’s the way she nibbles the crisp that gets me. I mean who eats a crisp like that?

Actually I am forced to watch it as I have no control over what adverts come on while watching tv, it’s not like it’s a film I have chosen to watch then moan about

MissLadyM · 09/11/2019 14:34

She got paid £9 MILLION QUID

TanteRose · 09/11/2019 14:36

Jeez, not one of you bothered to link the video and I had to do it myself

It made me laugh Grin and now I realllly want Walkers crisps...sob

gamerwidow · 09/11/2019 14:37

I like her, shes a good sport and doesn't take herself too seriously.

Jente · 09/11/2019 14:40

I love it, particularly the way she handles the crisp like she's in I'm A Celeb doing an eating kangaroo anus challenge.

georgialondon · 09/11/2019 14:42

I liked it

LHMB · 09/11/2019 14:47

What I don't understand is why anyone would want Brussels sprouts flavour crisps 🤢

LabiaMinoraPissusFlapus · 09/11/2019 14:51

I like that advert. It is funny and she is obviously taking the piss out of herself. I saw her in concert at the Royal Albert Hall and I am a total convert. She was amazing and really connected with the audience. I think she has bipolar which can explain her behaviour in the past.

The80sweregreat · 09/11/2019 14:55

I feel sorry for the guy as he doesn't get any crisps at all! Poor bloke.
I do love that song but I'm not a Christmas fan. Love most crisps but not the Christmas flavour ones. They must taste horrible!

The80sweregreat · 09/11/2019 14:58

I guess the shops are desperate for good Christmas sales this year hence the ads being on earlier than usual.
I think it'll be hard for a lot of the smaller businesses this year and nobody will spend much. Walkers must be doing ok though to pay her that much.. she'll have a good time if nobody else will!

CuriousaboutSamphire · 09/11/2019 14:59

Like Walkers with the Brussel sprout flavour crisps she is taking the piss out of herself!

From perfectly placed dress train, flawless make up to simpering, twinkling, etc etc - and Gary may yet make an appearance, apparently

@Labia I have a friend who sees lots of random shows, her BF gets tickets as part of his job. She said much the same. She wasn't expecting to enjoy it but MC was extremely personable and the show was a lot of fun.

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 09/11/2019 15:03

I love that Mariah Carey song but the advert makes me stabby.

Fridaynightfuntime · 09/11/2019 15:04

How can anyone say she’s not curvy? Hmm

I’d never heard the phrase ‘sending herself up’ until this thread. Every day is a school day.

Longblondeandblueeyes · 09/11/2019 15:35

Best advert I've seen in ages!!

Ariadnepersephonecloud · 09/11/2019 15:46

I like it and also not usually a Mariah Carey fan. I actually find the way she bites the crisp amusing too, it allows extra smirk 😁

CSIblonde · 09/11/2019 17:15

I like it, she's sending the mandatory camp Xmas song with cutesy choreography up. I love her old Hollywood style glamorous Diva stage gowns too.

Mariahtwat · 05/12/2019 15:02

Diva? Humility? Are you blind?

She isn't a 'real' Diva, she's a spoilt bitch.
She isn't self-deprecating, she's making millions from that Ad.

TheNameGames · 05/12/2019 15:26

How do you know she’s a spoilt bitch Mariahtwat? (Inventive name) Hmm Do you know her?
