Fucking Gross Adverts

[BlueEyedBogWitch]

It started with little kids on the toilet with their pants round their ankles, holding their noses.

Then there was the one with a woman farting at work and then scurrying to the bathroom clutching a bog roll.

I think I reached the nadir last night when I was subjected to an advert for razors which treated me to the sight of a man bending down with his back to the camera and his hand under his dressing gown, shaving his sack and crack.

I mean, that might not be the nadir. Maybe next time they’ll drop the dressing down, and I can feast my eyes on his arsehole winking at me while it gets a short back and sides.

At this rate I’ll have to clear all the crap off my kitchen table and start eating like a civilised human again.

AIBU, or are adverts getting increasingly foul?

If only he stuck to advertising Sirdar and Milward. 🙏

The Haribo, adults with child voices, has me lunging for the Mute button. It grates like nails on blackboards with added extra creepiness

I don't know what that is tbh. But I'd rather he didn't advertise anything the creepy little weirdo. Haha.

Tom Daley?

Yeah, that's the one! I forgot his name.

An advert I find repulsive, and it's not even gross as such, is that beans one with the man on holiday, weeping as though he's just suffered a horrible bereavement. It really drives me up the bloody wall.

Not gross but annoying... the current Nationwide one where the daughter rings "Dad, can you send me some money?". No please , no manners. It really annoys me and I end up shouting PLEASE at the telly!

The daughter is meant to be the antithesis to her out-of-touch banker dad but neither of them have manners .(

Bleugghh!!! I hate all of those adverts!

With you all the way on that one, makes me feel sick and faint. I find it really disturbing, horror film vibes, it would have freaked me out as a kid and I hate it as an adult

The KFC one where the person is turned into a giant chicken drumstick, dipped in a lake of gravy and then eaten as a sacrifice of some sort. I mean! What the actual cluck!

Yarn and knitting related paraphernalia.

Chicken's Revenge! If the tables were turned...

£16? I pay 12.99 for youtube premium.

Oooh, I think I’m on premium - but I definitely pay £16.99 😡! I will have to investigate…

Definitely. Mine comes off my phone bill so I get the text when its been paid. Same with itvx.

@GrandTheftWalrus well - very quick investigation! I pay through Apple iOS - and it appears they charge 30% extra for using their platform. If you pay YouTube direct, it’s meant to be cheaper.

Maybe you’ve saved me £50 a year! thank you.

Cheers 🥂 I’ll treat myself to a few cocktails in Greece next week, and I’ll say a prayer for you too :-)).

ps. I was just about to de- register my Mumsnet‘s account – I get tired of the general negativity and snippiness, but luckily this did not happen today!

Glad to be of assistance! I pay through Google play on my phone.

Enjoy greece. I'm not long back from kalamaki!

Cringe.
