...or do some adverts simply make no sense?!

[WinifredTorrance]

Inspired by watching (another) Sunlife Over 50 Plan advert. Alan Titchmarsh is faffing with his roses then he sits, patronises the camera then pours a coffee. It starts to rain. He grabs his jacket off the back of a chair then heads off camera. He leaves his coffee and cafetière on the table. Who would do that? Does he only have the use of one arm? Don’t leave your coffee, Alan!

What other adverts make you go ?

The planet rock idents that announce "from the four corners of our planet " and another that states "we play less adverts so you can listen to more music ".
The earth does not have corners and you're playing a bloody advert saying you don't play adverts.

They should bring back the plug from last Christmas, I adored plug boy though sky have won me over with ET

I am now finding myself unreasonably concerned about 'walk in baths'. I was never really much bothered before, but this thread has had me sitting there trying to work out the mechanics...

...and what if you want a wee? Do you have to
a) sit and wait for the bath to drain so you can get out, go to the loo, then have to sit and wait for the bath to refill
b)slither out over the side of the bath like a seal hitting a sandbank, wee, then slide back in again
c) wee in the bath because a) and b) are too much trouble and it's cold, and then have to sit in your dilute wee until the bath very slowly empties around you?

I am chuffed the Johnny Depp advert annoys most people too.
BUT does no one else hear "so vag" ??
Every time, all I hear is "so vag" and that's not something most people would pay to smell like. It amuses me greatly.

Had a brochure once with a bill from an energy company. There was a photo of a casserole of stew, and it said 'mmm, ideal for winter, just like direct debits' WTF? At least I've never forgotten it!

The “as clean as a parsnip wearing a truss” ones make me irrationally angry. Like REALLY angry. But then I loathe children being aggressively cute.

Ohhh I bloody LOVE Carol in B and Q!! I think she’s hilarious. It’s her expressions 😂

I'm trying to find a Xmas advert on YouTube to show DD. I think it's for a supermarket. Mum puts the tree up and its beautiful, daughter adds a terrifying homemade angel. Anyone know which advert this is for?

The ones I hate are where the voice of the actor has been dubbed over when they are clearly speaking another language.

Oh like the Calgon one KatherineJaneway! Where they are clearly trying to create a market for a product 'does your washing machine smell...look at all this sludge that Calgon will get rid of!' And I sit there and think 'bollocks will Calgon get rid of the old socks, pocket fluff, sad tissues etc that have fallen behind the drum' which is what the 'sludge' is. And that's probably exactly what the 'technical expert' is saying, because his mouth quite clearly isn't forming the words 'Calgon will get rid of this and stop your machine smelling'.

Oh God, yes the deliveroo one and that ridiculous one fir8 a food delivery company where that stupid woman smashes the coffee table and pours water over her head- just because her food has arrived?!

I find annoying the adverts with the 'professionals' recommending you xyz product. E.g. Mary Smith, Dentist ' I always recommend this toothpaste to my patients'.
I also can't stand the Weetabix advert with the giant and getting scared by the kid eating the Weetabix. I refuse to buy Weetabix, I find that advert THAT much annoying.

My dog hates any adverts with animals. Those poor animals from the rspca adverts the moments he sees them he starts growling. He also barks at an ad with a lion. Meanwhile, if he saw the dogs in real life he would be wagging his tail happily and as for the lion he would be legging it while barking along the way ' Every man dog for themselves!'

Oh and as for the Andrex ones...I used to HATE the one with kids in a school setting describing how clean Andrex supposedly makes you feel and a boy says "As clean as gold pants". That in itself is immensely annoying because it's such a stupid, senseless comment. However the teacher then does this fake laugh, laughing like it's the funniest thing that she has ever heard and repeats the comment as if to say "Oh, isn't he so cute and funny". No, he really isn't. I detest that ad, thankfully it doesn't seem to be on very much lately.

That Jane Macdonald (sp?) one for Royale living. Some kind of retirement type village for the over 45’s. I shit you not, 45! I am nearly 45 and do not plan on bowling off to a retirement complex as unfortunately I won’t be able to retire for a lot later, as with most of the population I should imagine.

@WalkAwaySugarbear the advert you’re thinking is for Homebase.

Car adverts that are all about how it'll improve your image, and nothing about the car itself ... When choosing a new (Motability) car earlier this year, things like boot width and space were important to us. None of the adverts show the boot of the car, grrrrrrrrrr.

Thanks Missy

They do retirement living for over 45s???????????

I hate any sanpro ad that features happy, bouncy, running women. When I get my period I want to sit on the couch with a nice cuppa, chocolate and a hot water bottle while DH does tge dishes. Anything else is uncomfortable.

Good God! I didn't know people still watched adverts! We record everything and fast forward through them! So YABU!
