To think this Poundland ad is awful?

[RagingBall]

They've obviously had some complaints, so have just taken it down, but here's a screen shot

I can see why it’s funny, but it just screams ‘No class!’ due to the fact it’s a company, Which is weird, why would anyone want their branding this way?

If it was a person posting then that’s different, but this is a company, I find it mind boggling

Well, the advert clearly did it's job! Even though it has been taken down, the people that are offended by it are sharing it and giving the company more attention!

Well done op, you fell for their marketing. I wouldn't have known about it if it wasn't for you.

FWIW I laughed.

Its poundland, I don't think their customers take themselves too seriously.

I wouldn’t call it marketing.... this type of stuff just lowers their brand, I think Poundland is becoming more trashy though, whereas before I liked some of their items.

Bloody hell that elf one is way more 😱 IMO. Did snigger at the finger one but yes, wouldn't want my son asking question's

I laughed. Cadbury fingers always get a bit of a snigger and innuendo here

Thanks for the heads-up, I was wondering where to get them cheap this Christmas.

Gogreen, it's Poundland...

It's funny, but crude

I wouldn’t call it marketing

You wouldn't?

I would.

Well, the advert clearly did it's job! Even though it has been taken down, the people that are offended by it are sharing it and giving the company more attention!

Exactly, reminds me of the outrage on here over the rude Christmas Elf ads, there was a humongous thread on it and the offended ones couldn't see that the more they frothed the more attention it got and just made the "joke" funnier!

Grim but I imagine people who find Keith lemon funny will appreciate it.

That's just reminded me that I have a box of chocolate fingers in my cupboard...... no, not a double entrende, I genuinely have !

Snowflakes will be offended.

I hope your aware that their entire social media marketing team are female...

@RagingBall LOL this is funny! I can't believe people are officially complaining.

Poundland has deleted it because of 'complaints,' (only around 150!) but some people screenshot it before they went. And they have a few more funny/rude/cheeky ads too!

You can see them here.

Absolutely howling

Showed my DH and were both laughing together 😂

I found it funny but I don't like Keith Lemon

It made me laugh, but it’s definitely inappropriate in terms of public media/advertising

😂
And OmG the Elf one😂

" why would anyone want branding this way"

It's POUNDLAND

I doubt they have meetings over the value of the brand?

TheY sell cheap tat!!!

You get what you pay for

Les Cadburys Fingres! Sorry, made me snigger.

Eurgh. I didn't laugh, that's grim.

It caught my attention though, so I suppose they got what they wanted.

"it just screams ‘No class!’ due to the fact it’s a company"

It's Poundland ffs not Liberty's.
