To be unsettled with current day time tv adverts

62 replies

ThePunnyPeachDuck · 09/06/2025 21:32

I am miffed by the ads on tv these days, they are not allowed to put a ad on about chocolate or crumpets as the children need to be protected but they can put filth like this on during the day so my young children can watch it.

Is it just me?

Standards have sunk so low, it is disgraceful.

MyCheeryPearlTraybake · 09/06/2025 21:35

Plus young children can learn from a young age what's the best funeral plan on the market.

Sometimeinadifferentworld · 09/06/2025 21:38

I don't understand the rationale of adverts like these.

The effect on me is totally to put me off the product and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels the same.

So who are these adverts actually aimed at.? And are there enough people with so little taste that are going to buy the product as a result of watching these gross adverts to compensate for the number of customers they lose because of them.

YABU, it’s better to normalise bodily functions.

Were you also offended by this one?

reversegear · 09/06/2025 21:40

Oh and generally the fact women appear to pee themselves on a regular basis! The adverts are just awful.

Has anyone seen Idiocracy? It's not remotely funny, although it was supposed to be. The trajectory is very clear.

Actually yes.

I would think.the only people that would appeal to is school children with toilet humour.

It's gross.

@reversegear I thought it was just me that finds it disgusting. Makes me feel sick, someone blowing their (I imagine) hot stinky breath on the poor worker - absolutely vile.

ScurryfungeSpuddle · 09/06/2025 21:44

I hate the Andrex adverts.

I don't need to hear people farting before they go for a shit.

Sometimeinadifferentworld · 09/06/2025 21:46

Dangermoo · 09/06/2025 21:42

Oh please.

Please what?

I don't think I've ever found farts entertaining so why should I actually want to watch this offensive advert?

Dangermoo · 09/06/2025 21:46

Ooh those pearl clutchers. The message on the Andrex ad is a good one.

So don't watch then.

DoctorRoseReturns · 09/06/2025 21:47

The Sure advert worked for me 🤷‍♀️ I saw it and thought "ye it would be good to have something for those intimate areas"

They aren't filth. It's just trying to normalise body functions and smells

InWithThePlums · 09/06/2025 21:47

Makes me long for the Mad Men days, when adverts were classy (I wasn’t born, but still).

Oh ye it's so offensive to try and encourage children not to be self conscious at school about normal body functions...

Bet they increase the risk of thrush though

Exactly. The pseudo snobbery is ridiculous.

PhilosophicalCheeseSandwich · 09/06/2025 21:48

I laughed out loud at the lower body spray advert. It's subversive. We're not supposed to think about our clammy crevices and how other people sometimes end up closer to them than we'd like them to be.

I like the Andrex adverts too. Needing a poo at work means a lot more to me than puppies leaping around.

You don't spray it directly on your vagina
