Budgens isn’t much better 🏕️🏈🏵️🦘🚑👖⏳💆‍♀️🚊🫖🎲🏋🏼🧩🖨️🩸

The one I'm finding weird at the moment is that Specsavers ad where they're all talking in double entendres about having it off with the optician.

Aren't there, like, ethical guidelines or something around that whole area?

They’re all awful……and yet Log from Dreams has been retired off ( I loved Log)

Oh God that Tesco one with the smiley woman gives me the creeps!

JauntyJinty · 24/04/2023 13:04

The one I think is odd at the moment is a radio one for a mobile company (Can't rememebr which one so the ads not doing it's job!). The guys is talking on the phone and his daughter is talking to him - what they're saying makes 1 conversation - the daughter thinks the dads speaking to her but he's actually replying to the person on the phone.

The tag line is something like "you really can do it all with ___ mobile"

But...he's not doing it all! He's just ignoring his daughter in favour of his work call!

@Funkyslippers me too!

Important question: Is it as annoying as the daisy daisy daisy advert? 😁

loislovesstewie · 24/04/2023 13:40

Nothing is as annoying as the daisy ad, unless it's the perfect perfume ad.

I dunno, I can think of a few...

Head and Shoulders
"I didn't know you had dandruff..."
"I don't."

All of those pathetic Bold (Gold) ads.

Same with the Flash! Arrr Arrr.....

Mochudubh · 24/04/2023 13:57

I haven't seen the Asda ad but I rather like the Tesco mobile ad with the trolley as "Lassie".

PyjamaFan · 24/04/2023 14:05

I thought the Asda advert was very strange too, and didn't really make any sense.

I cannot tell you how much I HATE this advert!

Show quote history

I am in disbelief every time I see it as it has simply put me off ever buying anything by Marc Jacobs (if I was so inclined to splurge), not just the perfume.

flapjackfairy · 24/04/2023 15:58

to be fair all perfume ads are rubbish!

Nothing. I have a HUGE bottle (gift) and I don't want to use it because the ad annoys me so much. I have to dive for the remote to mute it.

Yeah I thought that one was really inappropriate and I don’t offend easily

StupidFaces · 24/04/2023 17:14

But did you know that Oral B made toothpaste? I know … I was in shock too! At least now I know how to keep my mouth healthy 🥴

MissyB1 · 24/04/2023 17:17

I’m going to admit I like the head and shoulders one, I giggle when they keep singing about him having dandruff.

No ad is annoying as the we buy any car ones! 🤮

ShinyPikachu · 24/04/2023 17:21

I think I hate the Head and Shoulders one more than I hate "Daisy, Daisy, Daisy" which is really saying something.

I haven't seen the Asda one yet at least but the Tesco one creeps me out.

I haven't seen the tesco one, the asda one is just stupid

Has anyone ever owned up to liking daisy, daisy, daisy or perfect?

RainbowConnection1 · 24/04/2023 17:46

The daisy, daisy, daisy advert used to be my most hated advert but that's been over taken by all the We Buy Any Car ads.

bellac11 · 24/04/2023 17:49

Whats the ad with the woman on the bed who shakes the washing powder/condtioner bottle and says 'mine' while grinning like an eejit

They're all idiots on that advert but she makes me want to gouge my eyes out
