To think that advert creators must think we are stupid with the comments made??

[TheLadyEvenstar]

for example

Because accidents sometimes happen when we don't expect it....errrr yes thats why they are accidents ---we don't plan to fall, crash, slip etc

You can laugh with tena lady - why can we I have never heard one tell a joke yet!!

Red Bull makes you fly - errrr ok so I will grow wings will i? don;t be thinking so

Always with wings now you can ride a horse/swim/climb (delete as appropriate) Damn these are good shit cos I couldn't fcuking rock climb or ride a horse before!!!!

I want to do a poo in pauls bathroom - yeah cos you at the age of 5 are able to hold your poo in pack your rucksack and travel to ya mates house cos he has an air freshner hmmm ok oh and will someone gag that kid??????

Which adverts do you find irritating???

I don't watch TV with adverts...I'm so glad!

"That's why mums go to Iceland". Drives me up the wall every single time. I get it, they're aiming their food at families (although at quite a lot of it!). But why not Dads? Do mums do all supermarket shopping. Thinking of sending it to that Times anti sexism campaign...

Confused.com AARRRGHHHH it's on 20,000 times a day..

Advertisements?

Do they put advertisements on the tele?

Heavens, what will they think of next!

Ah yes.

'Mum's gone to Iceland'

I have heard that slogan..

...and confess that I was puzzled at the sudden popularity of mini-breaks to Rejkavik.

My most hated ad used to be on the radio.

Small child lisps something like "Mummy doesn't know that Daddy's been on the phone to someone called Maureen He says she's cheaper than men with moustaches. "

Leery voiceover "ooooh Maureeeeen"

A little uncomfortable, I felt.

Eew, the bloke on the Lynx advert makes me shudder!

Maybe it's because he's so skinny and weedy-looking.
Maybe it's because he's wearing hideous little speedos.
Or maybe it's just that I'm getting old .

I hope that there is a circle of hell reserved for...
Perky ladies getting stains out of your washing.
Anyone who thinks up a perfume ad (we can't smell it, the whole thing is pointless!)
Anyone appearing in an advert for a price comparison website.
Linda Evangelisa and Andie Macdowell (no, you're not worth it, really).

Time for a nice soothing cuppa .

ANd that blasted vanish advert where the kid drops the pizza....

why are all the kids so prim and proper? even when they try to make them look "messy" they don't!

And the women on these adverts...they are all size 0 with huge boobs, no waist, errrrrrrr hang on we can still be beautiful with our bumps and lumps n curves y'no!

GetOrf - for the "lady hygiene" products, there was a South African comic who said, as far as they are aware, the only people to possibly have blue periods were Picasso and the Queen, so why the blue liquid? There was also a spoof sanitary towel ad, where someone was drowning in a swimming pool, so someone threw in a sanitary towel and all the water disappeared, saving the other person's life. Brilliant

My dh wore lynx alaska too - after I first met him, I trawled through boots smeeling every single deoderant until I found the right one! How sad is that

I hate the happy period one - obviously written by a man

Hmmm, of course I meen smelling not smeeling

and mean, not meen.
Going back to bed!

The one where the children have been using the mother's make-up and got it all over 'her best blouse!. And she calmly wonders how she'll get the lippy out of it.....

Not, as would happen in our house, shouts 'How did you get my make-up bag, you 'orrible little toerags? You've been climbing on the chairs again. And you have a dressingup box if you want to dress up, mummy's clothes are not toys!'

Poledra That's exactly the one I was going to say! I would be fuming for making the mess, not her reaction.

Oh and in my best blouse.............how is it the best one it is boring lol

The personal testimonies ads really grate - the ones like sensodyne toothpaste...

The other ad with a bunch of women sitting around (SATC-style - it is a winner that!!) talking about bowel actions!!!

Debt help ads - they really get up my nose

What about the one where the little girl has "ruined" her party dress?

Cue consternation of mother.

Up steps representative of some product or other (Vanish?)

Stain duly removed, the mother says to her DD "Oh, you can go to the party after all?"

What, so you were going to stop your daughter going to a party just because she got her dress dirty were you, you evil witch?

I can't believe some of these get past the first mention in the advertising meeting.

Oh yes, I wondered for a long time about what "slower digestive transit" meant. Why can't they just say "constipation."?

Yeah, itsjustafleshwound, how often do you re-join the girls in a fancy restaurant and tell them you've just done a big poo and it looked all funny?

On a roll now.

yy the debt help ones. Particularly the one where the daughter is really worried about her family's debts and confides in her Dad. Does he offer to help? Write a cheque? Ohh no, he recommends the loan sharks he used. FFS.

Where do i start! The calgon advert, air freshner one, the baby formula ones, infact every blinking advert to be precise

That one where the women are in the cafe, and one comes in 'when I went to the loo, you know, bowel stuff it was all hard and uncomfortable'
FFS! I have some very good friends, but I would never bother them with my goddamn constipation!

The perfume ones are terrible, Funtime. I just don't get the one with Kiera Knightly. Why does she put perfume on her finger and then dab him with it? Is that some kind of game, I will dab him with my perfume and then his wife will find out about our affair?

Do they really think that women are going to buy perfume from a DH-stealing, size -2 dreary looking bint?

The Vanish advert gets on my wick. Why does nobody ever say "oi, strange perky woman dressed in bright pink - how the fuck did you get in my house? I am calling the police you freak".

I've said it before, the Diet Coke ad. Where all the women are female versions of David Brent. 'Oh look I'm doing bunny ears behind my husbands head and making a stupid face in my wedding pics' A man's idea of the liberated woman.
