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

He reminds me of the guy from Benidorm Nathan Bryan - Joey on Benidorm, only an older version of him. I actually thought it was him Smile

I'm pretty sure the actor played the fishmonger for one series in Trollied

It is the Watford Asda. my car is in it

Was filmed in July/August.

Nothing to do with leavesden studios.

I hate ads like this , we see him with his kid ( presume its his ) cycling to Asda, we se them in the carpark before going into the shop , then again when he comes out of the shop , are the cameras not allowed inside ?Confused , we are not told about any offers or prices and how the hell is he going to get that shopping home on his bike .
Plus the unnecessary cheesy grin and thumbs up at the end.

If you are going to go to the trouble of making a advert , tell me what I can buy there and how much it will cost me

Oh god.... please please please tell me what the feck he's saying after 'fucky/pocky/et tap'? I'm losing weight, not sleeping, have lost my job and husband because it's all I can think about. HELP ME.

@stovetopespresso

Yes, because there are no Asda stores anywhere except England Hmm

I haven't paid any attention to the ads, I've been an Asda shopper for years. Used to work for them over 20 years ago, and it was the best job I've ever had. I don't get the Mumsnet hatred of Asda, fantastic place to work, and very community minded.

TiptopJ · 19/09/2020 16:39

I'm definitely hearing fuck it up! That's hilarious 😆

Cassavaflower · 19/09/2020 16:40

I thought it was "fuck it up" too and thought I was going mad thanks Mumsnet

AlCalavicci · 19/09/2020 22:51

@zukiecat I dont hate Asda , I hate annoying adverts that dont actually tell me about the product the are trying to sell / promote.
I feel the same way about most car and perfume adverts

Inaseagull · 19/09/2020 23:26

According to adsoftheworld.com. 'The TV ad stars real-life family Sunny, Amy and their three kids.'

"Am I in it Sunny?" 😡

SugarMiceInTheRain · 19/09/2020 23:29

I hate this ad so much. Even though I have no problem with Asda per se.

overnightangel · 20/09/2020 07:07

It sounds like
“Pocket tap... pocket tap.... it’s a pocket tap for our times” which would make no sense ...
... but then again neither does the advert.

He actually sounds a bit simple

Bimbin · 20/09/2020 07:13

It's a truly terrible advert.

CorianderLord · 03/11/2020 12:19

It's the most annoying of all time and now there's a Christmas one

@Noti23

Or that stupid Oral-B woman who “didn’t even know” they did a toothpaste. Stupid woman.
... 'but how do I keep my mouth healthy?'

[I have been brought up on a desert island so have never heard of toothpaste, mouthwash, dental floss etc.]
