To think the family in the On The Beach advert

[Kinnorafron]

Are ill-mannered Oafs? The woman carelessly flinging her flip flop so it hits a stranger, the boy child showing obvious pleasure at the girl's ice cream misfortune?
All it says to me is try to avoid anywhere frequented by people who have booked via this outfit as they will be obnoxious.

YANBU, they remind me of Matilda’s family!

I absolutely hate that advert. I wouldn’t book a holiday with that firm now out of principal.

Oh good, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the same. I can't stand the advert, the whole family look so frigging annoying, I'd avoid a holiday at all costs if I knew people like that were going to the same place!!

Can't stand it'

Agree. If they came to any beach I was on I'd push them all in the fucking sea.

Isn't this the company that doesn't offer the full protection package? Hopefully they'll get stranded where they are by a volcano ash incident and be so pissed off with their lack of cover that they never go on holiday again.

God I hate that advert too. The Christmas music is offensive and the family are obnoxious. Especially the porky little shit eating ice cream. Why would any company want to be associated with them?

they are supposed to be an ordinary non model like family

100% agree. Brits abroad at their worst.

If this is the alleged norm- don't give a shit and all for me attitude that are supposed to want to go on holiday with this mob- I can guarantee I'm going to give it a miss........

Quite. If I were the girl I would shove the ice cream in his smug ugly face.

😂🤣😂

Hate to say it but I see plenty of families like that these days…

Hate the ad and try and avoid any kind of holiday that might attract such people! Would rather stay at home quite frankly.

Can't stand this advert! The expressions on the boys face really infuriate me. I know I'm totally irrational but he's seriously irritating

Why aren't they on the beach , they are round the pool.

Hate it - even my ds said he didn't want to go on holiday where the ice cream bully boy is...

Heavens yes! Crazy advert

Classists!

Agree.

How does this stuff get passed?

if I ever have to watch it with a child I’ll have to qualify it with a ‘how rude’ sort of comment.

Well OP, you won't see families like them on your Viking River Cruise

Ugh. The song is in my head now. It's a fucking Christmas song

I detest this family. You can bet your bottom dollar that the parents didn't pay to reserve their seats and demanded that somebody moved on the flight out so they could all sit together. The father probably hung a St. George flag off the balcony and the reason they are all round the pool and not on the beach is because they won't leave the hotel for the full two week duration of their holiday on account of the all-inclusive. Horrible little shits, the lot of them (except for the young girl and if I saw this happen in RL, I would buy her the biggest ice cream on offer, just to spite her nasty, flabby little shit of a brother).

they obviously are showing us this is their target customers - cannot believe the company thinks this is a good idea.

The "father" looks like a properly creepy pervert. He gives me the creeps.

I HATE the fact they have hijacked a Christmas song.

Has anyone noticed in the We Buy Any Car ads the bloke gets out of the car and does that silly dance on his own But in the WBAC ad with the woman getting out of the car and dancing the kids are dancing with her. Still promoting the message that childcare is womens work.

If they are showing their target customers I am stunned at the vulgarity of it - basically saying their customers are bad mannered, insensitive, unadventurous pricks.
