I think it's safe to say that wasn't what I was expecting when I clicked on the thread and only came on for the anticipated deletion message Grin

I haven't seen the advert but it sounds appalling.

The one for hair thickening shampoo where she whispers to the camera, "shhh for women over 40"

Clearly female quadragenarians should only be reffered to sotto voce. Hmm

@Fairydustrust

Oh, what about the 'clean' ad for andrex? . Showing close up of everyone's bums. Incl a child....

Yes! I was about to say that one
Is it just me who finds it quite disturbing??
I can see what it's trying to do, make clean bums a cool thing??? Aren't we all cool shaking our clean bum?

Doh !It was called Crazy People. It was about a chap making searingly honest adverts . I think we should make some up ourselves.

Well at the moment every single time I turn on the radio I get a bloody Covid ad telling me if I step out of the front door I am personally responsible for hundreds of deaths.
Yes we know!!! It’s been ten months now, stop wasting taxpayers money.

Stacey Dooley doing Stacey Dooley in Nice 'n Easy.

If only anyone actually did make tampons which live up to your Ad hype FarandFew - although a literal "absolute bomb" would be even more problematic. Grin

The bank adverts where they (usually with poetry involved) pretend they really care about your wellbeing 'at this difficult time' but you know they'd have your house off you quicker than you can blink or take action if you couldn't pay for things!!!
I also find the Mr Kipling ad really disturbing. Everyone is horrible to the lad in it and treats him with contempt. It reminds me of child abuse and certainly doesn't make me want to have a cake!Confused

I absolutely hate the one fir incontinence underwater. It's something like.... "So many good thing about being a new mum...bigger boobs ....blessed" seriouslyHmm it gives me the rage. I don't know the proper dialogue because I mute it every time.

The ads need to me more realistic..........I once headed up the stairs to be met by DD ranting and growling in her room and dp armed with a kids fishing net loaded with sanitary towels and chocolate so he could poke it through her door and keep a safe distance.......she did laugh which snapped her out of it 😂😂😂

That would be a great ad, you should try and sell the concept.

I try to channel my rage at tena adverts into telling myself "think of it as a public service announcement: time to do a set of 10 kegels..."

I have taken a violent dislike to the guy who is in the Asda ads. So bloody cheerful.


Fucking hell I thought it was just me. Literally could pick my own eyeballs out.

Claudia Winkleman 'do you have a dry scalp, I'm not flirting!'

What planet are you on where 'do you have a dry scalp' is mistaken for a pick up line?!

This irrationally annoys me.

Actually ads just annoy me in general...this is what netflix was for...

The dominos ad annoys me for other reasons, where their take away message is don't use your small local pop up businesses, and instead order from your local chain. I mean in these times, it seems a bit of a kick.

Christ yes, that Stacey Dooley hair advert where we see her dancing in a studio in a leotard and high heels. Godawful.

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