Utterly fucking June and the Sun Life Over-50 plan. Get in the sea...

Money supermarket

the drawn out 'money supermaaaaaaaaarket' part.

also took me ages to work out what they were saying, 'get money calm?? get money supermaaaaaaaarket' Thought it was 'get Monica' or something.

i turn it down every time it comes on (really often on the radio) God i hate it, gives me rage.

@iklboo The long cut of the Just Eat ad has a bit where Snoop is in a sound studio looks like it’s full of smoke but it then pans out and it’s the steam off the takeaways. So yeah they definitely trading of his stoner rep.

Oh Good God the patronising Jane Plan woman.

Someone kill her.

@dingoesatemybaby

Oh and the sun life adverts (usually catch them during my morning dose of Frasier).

"Hi Jan, how are you"

"Oh I've just been to dorothy's funeral. It was all covered by the sun life over 50s plan, you know" (big smiley face)

"Really? Oh I've been looking at getting myself a n over 50s plan"

Nobody talks like that!!

Dh and I joke about these. He came into the kitchen the other day to tell me that June was still alive???? I was wth are you on about. We know all the lines now but think it's time to drop it. Also was just saying to DH I really don't like those Nationwide ads. All that poetry, sorry doesn't do it for me.

Mind you the way my waterworks have been playing up lately I just might be needing those Tena Lady padsBlush

FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge · 18/01/2021 20:27

@BlueSussex - I am desperate to see Charlize strutting her stuff now! How have I never noticed the shout out for tuna?! Grin

@ptumbi - flesh light! It is! Dior must be tickled pink Grin

I love the little girl ‘buying’ the chocolate for her mum and getting her little unicorn as change.

Lovely.

fucknuckle · 18/01/2021 20:50

the rebrand of weight watchers to WW is interesting. i’m a fiend for the small print - Motsi from Strictly has lost 2 stone... over 104 weeks! 2 bloody years to lose 2 stone?

fucknuckle · 18/01/2021 20:51

@Weirdfan thank you for the reassurance. i was very taken aback!

CounsellorTroi · 18/01/2021 20:52

@ancientgran

Robert De Niro car adverts (he doesn’t even need the money. That’s whats embarrassing) Oh can we keep him? He's about the only celebrity in an advert that I recognise and can even name.
Ditto the Kevin Bacon phone ads.

I lost 15 kay geeeeees!!

I always look at the small print, never know whether to applaud them for putting the detail on there or just be horrified that people pay week on week for something that is clearly as successful as russian roulette.

fucknuckle · 18/01/2021 20:57

like the cosmetic ads that shout about how ‘three-quarters of the women who tried it agreed it has knocked 20 years off them, easy’.

and then the small print is ‘based on a sample of 45 women surveyed’.

welp, if 30 whole people rate it, it’s definitely worth my money...

fucknuckle · 18/01/2021 20:59

i think my maths is wonky there but you get my drift..!

TellingBone · 18/01/2021 22:18

'Are those the chub rub shorts for fat men?'

@MaelyssQ

Yes! The dubbed voices just don't suit the chubrub men. They're clearly saying the same words but it must have originally been done in a US accent at a guess.

Hugoslavia · 18/01/2021 22:25

@LakeGeneva

@ptumbi it really does sound like she's saying 'fleshlight'. Which I understand to be a fake fanny sex toy.

... aaaand we're back to 'secret weapon down my pants'.

Am laughing so much!

caringcarer · 18/01/2021 23:29

I just hate all adverts. Waste of time.

HighlandLiving · 18/01/2021 23:30

That advert for the corner yoghurts with the singer that can't stop herself falling over and sticking her nose in it.

Refuse to buy them now purely because those adverts piss me off so much.

JohnBarron · 19/01/2021 00:05

The incontinence knickers that you make you feel ‘pretty’. Hmm

The Oral B ad with the woman who has never heard of toothpaste and has a fridge full of peppers.

The over 50 life plan ads, all the 50 year olds I know are busy homeschooling their children and consoling themselves in wine.

FenellaVelour · 19/01/2021 00:56

@BlueSussex the Poor Thing RSPCA advert guy cracks me up every time. Possibly the worst attempt to read script off a bit of paper I’ve ever heard.

Also hate the caffeine shampoo ad whispering insultingly at their actual target audience (WHY would you do that?!) and the bizarre conversations in the Sun Life ads. I’m always amused by just how many life insurance ads are shown during the breaks on the crime channels, usually during programmes about people who’ve killed their spouses for the life insurance.

The one advert though that has me reaching for the remote is the Foxy Bingo ad with the very camp voiceover guy who is possibly the most annoying human being who ever lived. “Shut the front door!” Aaaarrrrgggghhhhhh I literally want to strangle him.

Pumpkinstace · 19/01/2021 01:37

Money calm bull can fuck right off

Yeah I cant be angry at ads like this.

So cute

jerrywesterby · 19/01/2021 07:42

THE PELOTON ADVERT!!! why has no one mentioned this??? I HATE it.... is this what we aspire to? Stuck in our houses on our little hamster exercise wheels? It's the most depressing advert ever! AngryAngry

jerrywesterby · 19/01/2021 07:44

However my favourite advert is the nationwide one about yoga at home from a book - it's brilliant! One - it's cheaper; and two - you don't have to do it - classic Grin
