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 ?

I hate that they cut the Plenty Christmas advert to ribbons and you could no longer see the old woman pulling tinsel out of her cat's arse.

@TellingBone

WHAT ABOUT THE BLOKES WITH THE BAMBOO KNICKERS?

Grrr. Sorry for shouting.

Are those the chub rub shorts for fat men?

DAISY, DAISY, DAISY' bloody 'Daisy' perfume ad

It genuinely looks like they're advertising a creepy 70s cult headed by a naked beardy yoga instructor/murderer.

The perfume ad with ‘And you? What would you do for love?’ Oh, piss OFF.

I don’t mind the new Go Compare ad because of the singing.

I don’t like the mobile company ad with the giant thumbs which look like dicks. Or maybe they are dicks which look like thumbs.

I like the Snoop Dogg Just Eat advert - the music is catchy.

Oh, and I like the ad for accounting/business software with the tiny people helping the woman who works in the chippy.

I switch over or mute any sad charity ads, I can’t deal at the moment.

I hate the Halifax advert and the smug woman behind a desk: " no matter how you're feeling, we're her"

Next time I'm feeling low I'll phone the Halifax for support. because it's a people thing 😡

• we're here duh!

FFS I think the advertising companies need to have words with whoever work for them at the moment and employ me instead as a woman who does need certain products, I could tell them how better to advertise.

Oh I love an Advert thread! I hate all the perfume ones (esp the one with the backing track 'Flesh.... light' or it might be 'flash... light in an American accent, don't know don't care, hate it)
Hate the Go Compare ones, all of them.
Hate the oral B ones.
Hate the Asda ones with the cross eyed dad.
Hate most of them actually. Don't like the 'Crashed into a Petshop' one mainly because I think the 'bunnies' in the road are actually Hares and Hares are not sold in a pet shop.

Love the woolly dog one. and the Nat West sassy girl with the Pound coin.

But mainly I miss the Boxer Dog one, 'What Dooooing?' - can't remember what that was for but I loved Moose, the dog

Moose, hes just checking his credit score on clear plan or something.

I miss Moose the dog too!

But Jane Plan...she can shove her diet dinners where the sun doesn't shine...her eyes are too far apart for her to ever be trustworthy...

That Cazoo car one is a bit bonkers.

I'm sure Snoop has been given the gig because of his recreational 'hobbies' and the association with getting hungry

They are Belgian Hares, domestic rabbits bred to look like hares. That doesn't stop the ad from being slightly disturbing though.

The meerkats are massively annoying. Not least because meerkats do not come from Russia. I want UK-based Russians to complain about the misuse of Russian letters as well - the reversed "R" is not an alternative R and is pronounced something like "ya". Ditto the reversed "N", which is a vowel and nothing to do with the Latin letter N. If that had been done to some other languages, there'd be an outcry.

@ptumbi it really does sound like she's saying 'fleshlight'. Which I understand to be a fake fanny sex toy.

... aaaand we're back to 'secret weapon down my pants'.

i was worried about the lizard on the traffic lights too!

the AA ad with the woolly dog gives me the horrors. that room is too yellow. i feel like the window is nailed shut and there’s no air in there at all. the pixar movie ‘Cars’ gives me the same claustrophobia.

there’s a very weird ad for numan erectile dysfunction stuff that flashes up words for penis and ends with just DONG DONG DONG DONG in giant white letters on a black screen. unnerving. i’m not sure if i’ve dreamed this one so if anyone could confirm that they’ve seen it too i would feel better.

also, TERRIBLE THINGS ARE HAPPENING TO DONKEYS. stop bloody filming them and lend a hand then!

@iklboo

Jesus, he looks hollowed out, doesn’t he, old Snoop? The ad came on tv the other night and I said to DH, “he must be knocking on 60 now?”, we googled him and he’s 49. He looks absolutely wrecked!

Surf wiv perf ,plain fick twit begone.

@ancientgran I always wonder if one of the children is his, one little girl really looks like him. I can't think about Asda when it's on, I'm thinking genetics.

It is his daughter. I googled because the whole thing is so annoying (and what else is there to do in lockdown?). Apparently Asda wanted a 'real family' for their advert and he got the job so the kids are his and the woman his partner/husband). However he is actually an actor and wannabe comedian so they're stretching the 'real' family bit.

I also hate the Tena lady advert who feels 'pretty'. Putting a picture of a bow on a pull-up does not make it pretty!

Also the 'Go Compare' man. 'People are always asking me who sings in the Go Compare advert', No they don't?!! Why would they? Surely they wouldn't recognise him out of character. I suspect he's one of those people who makes sure people know who he is.

@farandfew - yes, absolutely! I would absolutely buy any tampon if that was the advertising campaign!

What upsets me is that it normalises something that should not be normalised. No woman should have to accept that she pees her pants when she uses free weights. If that is happening the right message is ‘ask your gp for help sorting it’ not ‘put a tena in your pants and get on with it love’

Not keen on the new Creme Egg ad with the two gay guys kissing/sharing the egg. I don't like the message it sends - I'm not sharing my fucking Creme Egg with anyone....

Oh I hate the over dramatic "arty" perfume ones where they jump in water with a dress on or whatever. Pretentious bollocks. There's also an advert for Halfords, voice over Caroline Quentin, encouraging women drivers to get their vehicles sorted, but of course the car is a mess, glove compartment full of sweets! Silly ditsy women! Rage.

You haven't dreamed it fucknuckle, I mentioned it upthread, it's bizarre!

The ones I really loathe are the very badly acted funeral ones, "Oh Dad, I was having this totally not normal conversation with x and they suggested I told you all about it in this very silly tone of voice while you pretend you're really interested."
