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 ?

The advert for mortgage/ loan company, sounds like Haribo but it's not that? Screaming voices, green gunge everywhere, just why? Ooh just remembered -Habito. Why? Just why?

And on a picky note, at the end of several cosmetic/ face cream/ some other shit product they always say 78 % of people sampled like this, number of people sampled being 115. Now call me picky ( worked in finance and accounts for years!) but 78% of 115 is 89.7. Ever seen .7 of a person? That's just an example by the way. If they said nearly 78% that would be fine but they don't! Have a look next time and do the maths, it drives me mad.

@TitOfTheIceberg 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. That sounds great but the point still remains that the "just go and see you GP" doesn't always work out that great.

@TwoHundredThousandTimes 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. How awful for her, it sounds so painful and debilitating. I think some people have had it removed but I don't suppose it is easy. I hope she gets some help.

I've been doing my pelvic floor exercises while reading this which probably isn't a bad thing as I don't always remember them. My eldest is 50 this year so I wonder if I should have a "50 years of pelvic floor exercises" celebration. Not sure if a themed cake would be appropriate.

@TwoHundredThousandTimes my friend is part of that class action, she’s been left with terrible problems .

Sorry I think I put a downer on the thread by mentioning the mesh thing but best wishes to those suffering, I hope they get some help.

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.

I read recently about a certain breed of sheep, possibly in the Scottish Islands who are still clipped with hand shears so they have more fleece left. I can't remember where I saw it. Are you sure they weren't electric shears anyway?

ancientgran an ad campaign celebrating 50 years of kegels would be a great idea.

Are you sure they weren't electric shears anyway? I'm sad enough to have watched it this minute. Not electric shears
Anyway it doesn't matter. Just a silly old ad.

I hate the ad for some shite perfume with the woman riding a white horse. She stops, looks round, then rags the horse's head round and gallops off. Makes me mad

Speaking of fragrance/horse adverts reminds me of the Old Spice one I like.

'Look at your husband. Look at me. I'm on a horse'.

@TellingBone - that's one advert I DO love.

The woolly AA dog is called Tukker. I looked him up to see if they sold them. Unfortunately they don't.

@PretendLife

The AA dog one doesn't do it for me at all - at Christmas I visited DM, we watched the advert together, I asked her if she guessed what it was for, she couldn't!

That stupid Just Eat jingle. I cant get it out of my head now.

@TitOfTheIceberg

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 totally agree about the kitchen, but I think the Go Compare man has a fantastic voice; the "Vincero" at the end sends shivers down my spine.

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

Yes, and the vet with his assistant’s furry hat* I like the look on the assistant's face!

@Shehasadiamondinthesky

That stupid Just Eat jingle. I cant get it out of my head now.

That's the whole point - it's catchy!

I actually quite like that advert even though I should, really, hate it!

i love the online ad with tukka on the motorbike with glasses

Someone mentioned Philip Schofield- any advert he is in annoys me. Yes very brave for lying to his wife for all of those years

The Australian ads are hilarious

Tiiillllleesssss 🤣🤣🤣

@Dinnafashyersel

Do you think they'd let me be in the advert instead of a beautiful 20 year old whose pelvic floor hasn't faced the challenges mine has?

I quite like the Just Eat one. The bloke making the mean face whilst he does the chicken wing dance always makes me laugh.
I'd also buy one of the mattresses that the toy sloth advertises (he spins round on the bed with his stupidly long arms), if they gave me a toy sloth. He's really cute.

If Helen Mirren's still "worth it" then of course.

Is that the one where she gallops along the road and up steps, CGI hopefully otherwise I fear for the horse's hooves.

I don't like the ?Plantar's shampoo advert in which the woman says, "Shahring' (for 'showering').
