Non-sensical adverts (light-hearted)

[ceil]

AIBU to let some ads drive me up the wall?

Example 1: Fairy pods with Vogue Williams - if the click to keep child safe works so well- why do you need to store them out of reach?

Example 2: nearly every e-harmony ad! They go some thing like this - "I have a dog...that's why I love e-harmony". Like wtf!?

Example 3: dulux "promise"...which they have actually changed from the original which originally implied the dulux promise on paint quality was disingenuous.

Like does no one sense check these things?

Any other examples??

“I’ve been in isolation for a week now... in this shed.”

Shut the fuck up, you guitar-toting twat. TV gets muted the minute we see the beginnings of this one.

@SachaStark....
Yes yes and yes again that stupid sentence drives me crazy. It makes me really annoyed. Her shed looks like an apartment and the other thing is if it truly was a shes why would not be in the house? She winds me right up.

The 'just the tip' tampex one gave me the cringes.

Those stupid Galbani promos they have on Come Dine With Me. ‘I live bruschetta with Galbini’. ‘It’s Galbani’. ‘Yes, that’s what I said - Goblinai/Grablini/Gobstopper’. FFS, once you’ve been told it’s Galbani, you’re not going to switch to some nonsensical mispronunciation! A fucking chimp could repeat the word ‘Galbani’ once they’ve heard it!!!

@StillCoughingandLaughing aww no that one always makes me laugh! DP and I can often be overheard saying "Gablanay" to each other in stupid voices for no real reason 😂

There’s an advert for a coffee machine with some hunk and the voice over says ‘Sometimes you’re a lone wolf...’ and cuts to him having a coffee on his own, then goes to an attractive female making eyes at him and the voice over says something like ‘but other times you want family time’ or some similar nonsense because he’s made her a coffee. What? Utter sexist drivel.

Generally I find every car and perfume advert ever made to be completely nonsensical

It doesn’t seem to be on anymore (THANK GOD!) but that Dolce & Gabbana advert with Emilia Clarke singing in Italian pissed me right off.

Equally, Johnny Depp driving into the desert to bury a necklace in that one flogging aftershave.

It doesn’t seem to be on anymore (THANK GOD!) but that Dolce & Gabbana advert with Emilia Clarke singing in Italian pissed me right off.

She looked really awkward as well; as if she knew it was cringeworthy, but if she just kept smiling and picturing the cheque she’d get through it.

The "did somebody say Just Eat" ones.
DH always shouts "No, Fuck off!" back

@StillCoughingandLaughing Omg yes! They're infuriatingly awful!

I really, really hate the 'I feel as clean as a jellyfish on a spoon' cringefests. I physically feel uncomfortable when they come on. Those kids will not thank their parents for letting them do those adverts when they are older!

There is a radio one about “a little wall crawler” and I have no idea what’s going on. It’s like listening to a delirious or demented person having an episode.

I'm finding the Haribo one with the two police officers dubbed in children's voices really annoying. Children's voices emanating from anywhere other than children are like nails down a blackboard.

@QuestionableMouse oh dear god, that came on the other night while I was watching a programme with DH and my DS 16 and DS 12. We all sat there in silence while I just was thinking 'wtf would this be on a tv ad?!' and then DS 12 piped up at the end 'what was that about?', I just said 'tampons' and saw DS 16 grinning. No one said anything else.

@LakeTittyHaHa
Yes the coffee one! Lone wolf. Can only think, terrorist

The one for the cat litter that is so odour free the kitten struggles to find it. I get it, it doesn't smell but if my cat can't find the litter tray it that's a problem.

(From someone whose cat has been pissing everywhere for months since we adopted him)

It's not exactly that it annoys me but, when the Pepsi Max ad comes on with the rapping about the various qualities of the drink, does anyone besides me think of the old one for Pepsi (I think in the 70s) which went "Lip-smacking, thirst-quenching, ace-tasting, motivating, ever-fizzing...."?

Simon Cowell pretending he doesn't know how the interest rate on a credit card works, boils my piss.

any perfume adverts seem like an acid trip.

The advert with that awful women (who even is she???) for surf where she sounds like she’s speaking another language “perf with surf” ... I want to shove that lobster claw in her throat.

Had never heard of the Emilia Clarke one - just had a quick watch.

Wtf is that about? What does it mean? What’s the point?!

Emilia Clarke seems to have a mouthful of very large teeth

The one with a woman with scraped back hair and a ridiculous huge bow on top of her head talking to her future self. Embarrassed for her every time it comes on.

The oral b one "but how do I keep my mouth clean?" Really? You're in your mid to late 20s with immaculate teeth and you've never been told to brush your teeth before...

Oh and also the halifax one. The advert says they're open and there for help for anything except when you call them to try and sort an agreement in principle they tell you they can only deal with the most urgent queries and to call back another time
