Is it just me or does it sound like the guy says 'Fuck it up' at the end (apparently it's pocket tap)

Does sound like fuck it up, what a knobhead

@CitizenFame

This one?

I thought he was a famous comedian/actor but apparently not. He really reminds me of someone I can’t put my finger on his name

Does he remind you of Ralph little?

doingmeheadin · 07/09/2020 23:03

He looks and sounds like a goon. Awful ad.

1Morewineplease · 07/09/2020 23:03

Really sounded like " fuck it up!"
Doesn't make me want to shop at Asda at all.

pigsDOfly · 07/09/2020 23:11

Don't shop at Asda and this advertisement will definitely ensure that I never do.

I don't know what sort of image they're trying to give their stores but tacky, cheap and poor quality is what it says to me.

Awful ad.

HexyAndIKnowIt · 07/09/2020 23:49

I had him down as some weird hybrid of Stephen Mangan and Daniel Ricciardo.

He's exceptionally annoying.

ViciousJackdaw · 08/09/2020 00:43

Christ, I feel old.

BeenAndCameBack · 08/09/2020 00:48

That tappy pocket thing is soooo CRINGE. Fuck me this advert is bad.
Tacky

Emmy2020 · 08/09/2020 05:46

Haven’t noticed it, but yeah absolutely rubbish ad

TheFormerPorpentinaScamander · 08/09/2020 05:50

Sounds like pocket tap to me but its a shit advert regardless.
DS (16) asked me what )'pocket tap' meant Grin

Dontjumptoconclusions · 08/09/2020 06:27

@MsEllany definitely the Watford Asda. I can recognise it from a mile away. (Regular shopper here). Was probably filmed part of Leavesden or Borehamwood studios

Serin · 08/09/2020 07:06

Oh dear!
How did they miss that?
Grin

nancybotwinbloom · 08/09/2020 14:12

Was he in something? Was he in motherland? His voice sounds like that fella who was in the cafe that time who ended up answering all of the blonde ones calls?

nancybotwinbloom · 08/09/2020 14:17

No he wasn't it's not him

Rudolphian · 08/09/2020 14:17

Can only hear pocket tap.
But hate the ad

Rudolphian · 08/09/2020 14:20

Watched it a few more times. And ow it sounds like 'fuck it up'.Grin

HazelBite · 08/09/2020 14:33

I'm pretty sure its the Watford ASDA I shall ask next time I'm there

GreyShadow · 08/09/2020 14:37

I must be the only one who likes it!! I think it's sweet although he def says "Fucks it up" on the second pocket tap.

Maybe I like it coz I don't see adverts anymore!

They're not doing very well at the moment. On their website yesterday I noticed that their proofreader must be on strike
