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? AngryGrin

Any other examples??

Any online bingo ads which show everyone having a great time outside in the sun with their friends and a BBQ, not on their phones or laptops playing online bingo!

I was just about to comment about the stupid Oral B ad!

Yes, the daft toothpaste one where she says her mouth feels ‘strong’ and healthy. How the F can a mouth feel ‘strong’?

Not to mention apparently brushing her teeth with no visible signs of toothpaste,

Any ad for anti ageing creams where the woman is clearly applying it on top of her makeup!

That little wall crawler one irritates me too. For ages I thought she was saying "War crawler". What is a wall crawler, is it some sort of insect?

I just hate the oral b 'hip, bum, heart' and mainly because of the immature fridge... I used to have a nice fridge till lockdown happened, now it's like a revolving door people are in and out of it all day rummaging!!
