@NoOneOwnsTheRainbow

When I was in the States, there would be adverts like this:

Do you have tiredness, bloating, depression and nausea?
You could have Ebola!
Ask your doctor for Ebola-b-gone!
Ebola-b-gone can help you manage your symptoms.

"I felt bloated all the time, then I took Ebola-b-gone, and now my Ebola is gone. Thanks Ebola-b-gone."

(then in a lower, faster voice)
Ebola-b-gone may cause constipation, diarrhea, heart arrythmia, Crohn's disease, AIDS, itchy sock syndrome and psychosis. Always read the label. May cause you to sneeze your internal organs out through your nose.

I absolutely hate that these ads encourage people to self-diagnose (based on really common symptoms) with major, really serious diseases to sell pharmaceuticals. I mentioned it to one of my friends over there and she couldn't even see what was wrong with these adverts.

Grin 😂

If you don’t have a career in advertising you really should 🤣

The woman in the Shake and Vac add had raging womb rage all through filming.

I saw that advert and I can't understand how it works Confused

I've been trying to find it on youtube, to work it out. I think you sort of tuck it between your cheeks and flaps.

Thanks Captain, I'm hoping to get the whole lot done soon. Just don't want workmen in the house until DH gets his vaccination done.

@ancientgran we had a problem with black mould on the shower tiles and eventually decided to get it (and the rest of the bathroom) re-tiled. When the man started chipping off the old ones the whole wall collapsed. It turned out there had been a slow leak behind the wall and the mould was coming from there. It was horrific but it looks lovely now though.

Going off thread here but the Cillit Bang mould remover is excellent 😊😁

Thanks for the tip. I was looking at the bathroom this morning, I was picking out baths and showers and taps this time last year but renovation put on hold for lockdown and still waiting. In the meantime it is looking grotty and mould starting to make it look even worse. Adding it to my Sainsbury's order now.

I remember a few years ago on Mumsnet Barry Scott was someone’s crush on a thread about unlikely crushes and quite a few people seemed quite into him.

I ordered some last night on Amazon because the reviews are so good.

If Barry Scott got his teeth fixed, he could bang my cillit all day long.

The cillit bang ad they used to have "hi, I'm Barry Scott". It was on so often and we eventually googled Barry Scott to see who the heck he was as he introduced himself like someone you should know. Turns out the person doesn't exist. Just found that annoying.
Also the Go Compare ads, which I imagine irritate most people.

ExH and I did this! We giggled ourselves silly finding out Barry Scott is a guy playing a random guy called Barry Scott! He became our in joke Grin

@Countrywalking

The Charlotte Tilbury ads. Good god. At first I was like who the hell is doing this terrible voice over, it's like a year 7 media project with bad audio. I then realised it's Charlotte Tilbury doing the voice. Someone in her team should've told her she isn't not a voice over artist.

OMG, yes! It took me ages to realise it wasn't some half-wit advertising a porn channel!

When the Tena lady says she has a secret weapon down her pants, we always shout "a willy"!

Agree with the PPs about the AA Tukker the dog adverts. He's so cute! The AA are missing a trick by not having replicas of him available for sale.

I hate that Ferrero Rocher ad. The one with the annoying woman with her hands pulled up inside her jumper sleeves, [argh I hate that], faking orgasm on her sofa with her gob full of that fatty, sugary crap.

It was good marketing though. Lots of us remember : "Hi I'm Barry Scott".

That doesn't of course mean that it wasn't annoying. It was.
