The maltesers ones with disabled women discussing their sex lives - makes me think if they weren't disabled the ads wouldn't have been made - patronising & a bit yuck really

Nameandgamechange123 · 18/01/2021 16:57

I hate that one where the woman pulls up what looks like a pink nappy decorated with flowers and hearts and she says somthing like "I feel pretty". Nobody NOBODY would feel pretty wearing a urine soaked pull up pant.

@NoOneOwnsTheRainbow

Am actually crying with laughter over your ebola be gone advert! Tears rolling down my cheeks!! I lived in Canada for a while and know EXACTLY what you mean!!

Grimble69 · 18/01/2021 17:03

Oh and the woman who doesn't know how to keep her mouth healthy looks like she has a perfectly good set of gnashers. So clearly has some idea of what she should do.

iklboo · 18/01/2021 17:03

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!'

The one about impotence that says it's common in men. Who else would be impotent?

@Morana23 @CaptainMyCaptain

Postcode lottery - that song is by Paul McCartney, it is a song from years ago (70s/80s?) and is just used in the ad. It's a bit of a crap song TBF.

Also it annoys me that they use the term post code lottery which has always referred to unfairness of people getting a service, or not, depending on where they live.

@trappedsincesundaymorn

Just popping in to reassure all those worried about the lizard on the traffic lights. She's fine and had an extra portion of crickets that day....the diva.
Is it a lizard though ... it looks like an alien eyeball spying on us through a subtle knife incision
CandidaAlbicans2 · 18/01/2021 17:13

”I know how to keep my body healthy, but how do I keep my mouth healthy?”,
to which I always reply,
“YOU GET A LOO BRUSH AND SOME DETOL AND SHOVE IT IN YOUR GOB YOU DOZY COW!”. It amuses me in these unamusing times 😆

But don't you love the black horse running through the surf, and the mother pushing the child on a bike through the woods etc??!!
@CleverCatty, that’s my favourite advert, it’s beautiful. I started a thread a few weeks ago on fave tv ads (which unsurprisingly didn’t get a lot of engagement 😆) and this was the one I mentioned. The making of video on YouTube is worth a watch too 😍

sueelleker · 18/01/2021 17:16

@MaelyssQ

That advert for perfume with a zillion people saying 'perfect' in different accents makes me ridiculously annoyed.

I quite like It's June Dad, and the over 50's funeral plan chat. I'm waiting for Derek to decide whether he prefers June next door or Rose from the garden centre. I am easily entertained...

Marc Jacobs. And the other advert with 3 girls saying daisy, daisy, daisy over and over.
CandidaAlbicans2 · 18/01/2021 17:17

[quote Downton57]@ancientgran can't stand the pet shop crash one either. Who'd be that eerily calm after crashing their car into a shop? And is anyone going to rescue that poor lizard??[/quote]
Ugh, I hate that one too. All I think about is those poor (possibly traumatised) animals that are now at risk of being hit by cars, or escaping and dying because they can't survive in the wild ☹️ I'm not normally triggered by things but I think it's a badly thought out advert. Not funny or nice at all.

Tal45 · 18/01/2021 17:17

I hate it when that women says 'there were some things they didn't tell me about pregnancy' or something similar, then she jiggles her boobs and says 'bigger boobs - blessed' as though all any women on earth aims for in life is bigger boobs. Uuurggghhh I find it so degrading. It's not as if the bigger boobs even last, they're spaniels ears before you know it.

Weirdfan · 18/01/2021 17:18

Anyone who hasn't seen the new Nu-man advert with all the different names for a penis practically shouted at you with zero warning is in for a treat! Fellow insomniacs will know exactly what I'm talking about.

BlueSussex · 18/01/2021 17:23

So I hate, in no particular order:

RSPCA, starring the Worlds Shittest Actor "Oh. The Poor Thing. The Poor Thing.

Oral B, starring smuggest woman alive "Hands. Arse/Face/whatever. Fuck Off Bitch

J'Adore, starring Charlize Theron where she inexplicably says "Tuna!" before sauntering around looking like a goddess.

RhubarbTea · 18/01/2021 17:26

That ad for Andrex washlets or whatever the hell they were, where the 'man on the street' jokes: 'my bottom has never been so clean!' which just conjures up the horror of what it must be like normally in that case, and the sniggering woman 'interviewing' him when he asks if she wants to check and they're both so coy and yet so intimate and it's HORRIBLE.
What the hell was going on in the mind of the people that decided to run that ad!

thosetalesofunexpected · 18/01/2021 17:26

@farandfew

"I agree"😕
" wish tv adverts like this,had your idea"

zukiecat · 18/01/2021 17:32

@ancientgran

I worry about the little lizard too,

I hope someone rescues him

dingoesatemybaby · 18/01/2021 17:32

Ah just thought of another one. The horrendously dubbed clear blue adverts.

God they are dreadful

Thedogscollar · 18/01/2021 17:35

Omg I am literally crying with laughing at the brilliant posts on this thread.
It's been yet another miserable day but you lot have so cheered me up. MN at it's best.

I agree with you all with your critique of the adverts you lot need to go into PR. Grin

sueelleker · 18/01/2021 17:36

The over 50's online dating advert, where none of the actors look older than mid thirties.
But don't you love the black horse running through the surf, and the mother pushing the child on a bike through the woods etc??!!
I loved the previous one, with people getting up at dawn to see the horses running along the beach. That's definitely something I'd do.

CandidaAlbicans2 · 18/01/2021 17:44

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

That, and the "ebola-be-gone" should be in Viz magazine 😅 They had one called "Sausage Lawyers 4U"... "have you had an accident with a sausage that wasn't your fault?..." 😂

Nunoftheother · 18/01/2021 17:46

@JaneJeffer

While all you lovely ad haters are here can anyone tell me who this woman on the Red Cross ad is? It's driving me mad trying to remember!
No idea, but that top looks dreadful on her.
TellingBone · 18/01/2021 17:47

WHAT ABOUT THE BLOKES WITH THE BAMBOO KNICKERS?

Grrr. Sorry for shouting.

IsayIsayBoy · 18/01/2021 17:48

'DAISY, DAISY, DAISY' bloody 'Daisy' perfume ad - so annoying! I also feel so sad for the poor lad in the Mr Kipling ad who brings a cake home for his sister who shouts 'GET OUT!', so nasty!

BlueSussex · 18/01/2021 17:50

Oh I had forgotten that awful Stacey Dooley advert. Makes her look like an absolute tit.

I love the meerkets Blush

And the woolly dog.
