the 'secret weapon down my pants'

[warmandtoasty2day]

advert in the gym, secret weapon is tena lady pads, ffs just fuck right off with your secret fucking weapon.
makes me feel like through the telly out of the window and smashing it up with a lump hammer !
what ads make you feel stabby ?

@ancientgran

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.

To be all serious for a moment, there are other treatments available. A female relative of mine gets a form of botox injected into her bladder every 12-18 months and it has revolutionised her life.

Specsavers

The ones with the elderly couple who “accidentally” drive onto an aircraft carrier instead of a ferry or get on a roller coaster instead of sitting on a bench to eat their sandwiches

Are these ads really trying to tell me that someone could drive onto an aircraft carrier without noticing or somebody stopping them? Or that they queued for hours to get on a theme park ride and at no point they didn’t question why they were queuing for a fucking bench?

I quite like the Go Compare man, I think he's sweet.

I can't stand the Wickes "housebarassment" adverts. For the first one ("we're coming to you for the hols!") I just wanted the woman to reply "no you're not, fuck off!" like a normal person would, and now the one with the stupid Zoom background...I don't know if I'm more annoyed at stupid Claire or whatever her name is for putting on a 'zany' background for a professional work call when there are any number of tedious "plain white office" ones to choose from, or at the colleague/manager who makes such a big thing about it rather than just getting on with the meeting. And this may be just me not paying attention, but the 'after' kitchen looks a completely different shape and size to the 'before' room in a way that can't just be achieved with a few new unit doors and a sparkly hob.

(I may be overthinking this.)

I too do not trust Jane from Jane plan.
The weird ads for the ejector chairs before I watch midsummer murders with terrible fabric designs and ghastly carpets. Just because you get older doesn’t mean you lose your taste, teeth, bowels, bladder and hair.

I quite like the one where the farmer shears his sheep dog.

The poly grip or similar advert where the woman is standing inside a giant gob while it's eating carrots & cereal bars and the screen says 'DRAMATISATION'.

No shit, Shaft. How monumentally thick would you have to be to think it was real?

re: ‘housebarassment’

why not call it ‘roombarassment’? at least it sounds remotely like an actual portmanteau.

i shout at the telly every time. because i literally have no life at the moment.

i also like the life insurance ads where they make lofty promises about getting a whole 10% of your premiums back as a bonus after paying in for a year. at £7.50 a month that’s a massive £9.00 to look forward to.

and those ‘build a delorean’ or star wars piece-work magazines where the first issue is only £2.50 but the small print reveals it will cost you £1400 all in at the full price for about 100 tiny pieces.i wonder how well those things sell after about issue 4.

i really, really need to get out more.

@CaptainMyCaptain I quite like the one where the farmer shears his sheep dog

Yes, and the vet with his assistant’s furry hat

But the other 2 make me want to commit murders.

The specsavers ad where the farmer shears his dog makes me weepy.

I like the one where the young woman runs into the arms of a married man at the railway station. I like how she says 'Sorry'

I quite like the one where the farmer shears his sheep dog. It makes me furious. No one uses hand shears to shear sheep. Look at the stupid old farmer he can't tell the difference between a dog and a sheep.

@Shehasadiamondinthesky

And AS IF any hollywood star uses poxy off the shelf hair colouring products. I don't think so - worth it or not.

Well you say that, but I had a punch-up with Angelina Jolie in Lloyds Pharmacy once when we both reached for the last box of Nice'n'easy! (I won 💪) 🤣

I also hated those Direct Line adverts with the scary mafia-type guy. Just annoying. Haven't seen them for a while though.

And the ones for those baths that you climb in through a door on the side. While wearing a swimsuit of course, as you do. I always wonder how cold you must get after your bath, because I assume you must have to sit there while the water drains out, otherwise it'd pour out of the side.

Always used to hate that Calpol ad “If you’ve got kids you’ll understand”.

@MirandaMarple

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.

a cheaper car buying site. Saw it last night.

To be fair, I'll take Rylan over Philip 'sold my soul to the devil' Schofield who's on or doing a voice over for so many adverts these days. Twat.

@jerrywesterby

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!

Absolutely agree on this one. Maybe if you are spending lockdown in a flat in an area of high population density ..... but otherwise ... just why would you want to do this?

Think someone mentioned this earlier but the dancing frogs/toads advert - did the agency think 'we're in a pandemic and to sell our money site (I think that's what it is) what will cheer someone up is dancing frogs'.

Feck off with your fecking frogs!

oh that stupid Muller Lite yogurt with the Olympics, someone throws a discus or something which pulls off the Greek/Roman emperor's bottom half of his toga/outfit off to reveal he's wearing vile heart shaped boxer shorts and his 'wife' is cringing with head in her hands.

Are we supposed to find that funny? think the poor man is so stoopid for wearing patterned silly boxers?!

But you remember them because they are funny (or in your case because you are irritated by them lol) it all raises spec savers profile .

DM used to work in advertising years ago. It's a given that e.g. the annoying woman in the Oral B advert or the Jane Plan one - because they're so annoying they'll stick in your head and subconsciously make you want to buy their product. At least the advertisers think so anyway.

DM was once an extra in a a very cringy Carling Black Label Christmas advert, in a pub, couple looking up at mistletoe and the man placed below the mistletoe angling for a snog (we have the photo), they often choose advertising agency staff as free extras as they can be 'good looking'. DM's other claim to fame is she was in an advert for Cornsilk face powder (magazines) but it's not a corny advert - just saying how good her skin is.

Are these ads really trying to tell me that someone could drive onto an aircraft carrier without noticing or somebody stopping them?

If they could do that they shouldn’t be driving in the first place!

Shinynewapple2021 - Peloton to be fair are just cashing in on the home fitness craze.

Having said that, having seen their adverts it's made me less likely to throw money at their particular brand.

All of the muller ones. ‘Official yogurt of the Olympics’, wtf? And Nicole effing Shitsinger titting about with yogurt on her nose.

Ebola be gone 😂😂😂

When an ad annoys me I make a point of not buying the product, but I’m stubborn and despise advertising psychology.

@Bananainpyjama

OMG that first advert is DIRE - I think I managed 15 seconds. The second one was ok though.

That stupid DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy perfume ad has made me resent the fact I like the perfume. I bought it before that ad was shown.
