The skin wash ads where the actress literally throws water all over her head when rinsing off the lather.

Maireas · 19/01/2021 07:51

Yes to the Peloton. How depressing.
Just cycling round and round at home with someone shouting at you.

fourquenelles · 19/01/2021 07:58

I really , really fancy the last chap on the latest "get fit and eat better you old fatties" NHS advert. Very handsome and smiley. I wonder who he is.

TwoHundredThousandTimes · 19/01/2021 08:29

I like both the cadbury ads referenced already. I really like the grumpy man being thrown a chocolate bar from the children, and how he smiles.

PussGirl · 19/01/2021 08:56

I like the Tanqueray gin one with the woman in the green dress in various smaller & smaller settings.

Except I thought it was for Gordon's Grin

Really hate the no-longer-constipated woman skipping out of her house after a dose of Dulcolax Hmm

BananainPyjama · 19/01/2021 09:02

Yu guys do not realise what amazing ads you have.
Having lived in Aus a few years now, British ads are a work of art compared to ours.

Australia seems to be fond of company owners with hideous screeching voices to come on screen and shout at us about their product in a badly acted enthusiastic way.

here is a typical ad:

Velvian · 19/01/2021 09:03

Can anyone link the Charlie Thereon "tuna" advert. I need that in my life and I can't find it.

BananainPyjama · 19/01/2021 09:06

or one of the wittier ads

MirandaMarple · 19/01/2021 09:07

There's one with Rylan in and it focuses on the man in the family having a vasectomy. Can't remember what it's advertising. Terrible.

MirandaMarple · 19/01/2021 09:09

@jerrywesterby

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
It's Andy Storey (comedian)

It is very funny, I am laughing now typing this.

Catty1720 · 19/01/2021 09:27

The always advert when she’s on her period and playing tennis in the smallest paid of white knickers ever! I can’t wear small white knickers at the best of time let alone when I’m on my period. Every time it comes on I moan sometimes my DP even beats me to it I go on that much. Maybe I’m just jealous 😆

Catty1720 · 19/01/2021 09:28

@MirandaMarple it’s cinch and I agree with you.

ancientgran · 19/01/2021 09:51

People say see a GP but aren't all those women suffering with that mesh thing women who went to their GP? I wouldn't want to rely on Tena but I would be wary about what treatment was on offer. I would happily see a physio although I think you can find exercises on line, I remember hearing something about it on woman's hour.

I really like the advert with the French girl/woman in a blue dress with Edith Piaf singing, I love the idea of wearing the same "special" dress all through life. I think it is for Galaxy.

@AintPageantMaterial

“I know how to keep my body healthy but how do I keep my mouth healthy?” - Seriously!? You’re the only adult women who is unaware of the basic toothbrush/toothpaste routine that the rest of the world has been doing for forever? Or does she have trouble keeping her mouth healthy because she keeps getting punched in the gob? I can’t rule it out.
I want to push her simpering face in, and I’m a mild-mannered woman! The fucking Supernoodle advert where the bloke says, ‘Tastyyyyyyyyyy!’at the top of his voice ! Just Eat ads should be banned. They make me want to hurt myself. The mute button is my friend. Thank you all for cheering me up this morning, I’m knackered, on shift at 1pm, and have lost count of the number of extra hours I’ve done in the past few months. And June needs to piss off as well. Why does she keep going round? I’m sure there will be more from me . Please keep these coming, my mood is better as I read them all😊💐
derxa · 19/01/2021 10:00

Laura Whitmore and her fitness nonsense. 'Hold hold!'
Fuck off

UseOfWeapons · 19/01/2021 10:04

@iklboo

I want to see proper adverts:

'Itching sensation down there?
Get some FLECKYMINGE! It will sort your flaps out a treat! '

'Problem neighbours? Troublesome partner?
Call TWATBEGONE SOLICITORS on 555-SHYSTERS for free advice!'

Brilliant, made me laugh my arse off! Thank you , I was such a miserable cow when I woke up, and now feeling renewed!🌹🙃🌈
ptumbi · 19/01/2021 10:16

Jeez I thought Snoop Dogg was nearly 60 too! I think it's the balding, the skinniness, the bad skin/eyes... not the crap he eats, oh no.

Re the whispering - DP and I hate any ad with whispering in it. Remember ? lots of whispering in that, cos it's a See?

Or any ad with shouting/loud squawking like the Fried chicken ad (KFC?) or the stupid hairdye woman who screeches when she sees her lockdown grey roots, and then BAMs when she picks up a box of hairdye. Just Shut the Fuck up!

See also Go Compare . Mute on.

I also like the blue dress woman.

My DM had one of those mesh things and she has been suffering ever since. In fact she was contacted by lawyers who wanted to include her in a class action. But she said she did not see the point, really. Just today she has had yet another telephone appointment with her GP and told she needs further medication.

CatRamsey · 19/01/2021 11:08

Oh so many!

'Flash' where they're all miming to Queen.

Oral B toothpaste where she exclaims "I didn't even know Oral B made a toothpaste!" what the fuck did you think they do? 😂

Just Eat, oh my god SHUT UP

Meerkats

I agree the guy in the Asda adverts is annoying as hell (am I supposed to know who he is?)

I love the Sun Life ones because they're so bad they make me laugh 😂

Fallsballs · 19/01/2021 11:11

The constipation ads with the woman and her dull handbag being filled with food and her pained expression - then she takes whatever it is, has a shit and goes skipping down the road. No mention of shit in entire advert. I think how much better if they just said “and now Jane’s had a long overdue and much needed dump”.
The oral b ones with the red haired actress who says “I’m a dentist” and I shout “no your fucking not”.
Poly grip ads where they look smug and eat apples. It would be funnier if their teeth stayed in the apple.

MaelyssQ · 19/01/2021 11:19

Why is the carpet in the Vax carpet cleaner ad so bloody filthy??
Ditto the kitchen floor cleaned by Flash.

I'm not the world's best cleaner but my house isn't encrusted with grime.

Must dash, got a zoom call with my friends to discuss our over 50s life cover.

Alexandernevermind · 19/01/2021 11:19

Laughing so much at this thread.
For me the lowest point is that sodding Marc Jacob's Daisy advert. Those dopey girls chanting Daisy Daisy Daisy. Ugh.

CatRamsey · 19/01/2021 11:24

Oh and the wowcher ads with the cringy dancing

kwiksavenofrillsusername · 19/01/2021 11:27

I got to say though. The woman on that Tena advert has a great arse for her age. I'd cope with a bit of urine leakage if I could have that arse. (Hate the ad though as it normalises peeing yourself. See a doctor!)

There's another annoying Marc Jacobs one with loads of ugly models going on about how they're perrrrfect. With a really posh one at the end who overpronounces it puurfaaacttt. It's such an overused word anyway and gets on my tits.

CaptainMyCaptain · 19/01/2021 11:28

Really hate the no-longer-constipated woman skipping out of her house after a dose of Dulcolax hmm
That's not as bad as the one for Immodium where she has diarrhoea and dives into a bush in the park - yuk! I don't think that's been on for a while thankfully.
