cos it is the most cheesy advert I have seen in a long time and I actually have lost a bit of respect for them as they have sold out BIG time!

YANBU winds me up big time, I'd love to know how many Thomas cook holidays they've had.

SqueezyIsStartinAResolution · 09/01/2010 15:22

YANBU. Cheesy tacky crapfest of an advert.

diddl · 09/01/2010 15:24

It´s awful-can´t stand the way she talks!

fannybanjo · 09/01/2010 15:25

I believe they were paid £500,000 for it so I suppose I can't blame them but I would be so embarrassed to see that on the TV if I was them. Him playing golf with his top off - knob.

YANBU! Hated it from the first time I saw it. Will deliberately avoid Thomas Cook now!

BarkisIsWilling · 09/01/2010 17:24

Don't just book it - Thomas cook it. Don't just buy - it Argos it. Don't just hate it Marina Hyde it.

Her voice, her fakey looking face and fake blonde hair and her smug smile give me the BOAK.

I change that channel when that advert comes on.

It enrages me.

louise rednapp always comes across needy.bet she cries a lot (for no good reason)

expatinscotland · 09/01/2010 17:46

She simpers. I can't abide simpering.

scottishmummy · 09/01/2010 17:48

it is a cheestastic ad.from smarmtastic couple

carocaro · 09/01/2010 17:48

I like them both generally BUT the advert is horrifying in it's smugness and 'aren't we most fabulousness' to too much.

And OMFG at how much they got paid. LIfe really is easy peasy when you are them.

shockers · 09/01/2010 17:49

Ah but who would you prefer to sell TC hols to you? I imagined Posh & Becks and that worked even less well. Do you think Wayne and Colleen have ever gone TC?

shockers · 09/01/2010 17:51

BTW... don't you think that it's odd that Jamie Rednapp looks like his Dad but IS good looking?

scottishmummy · 09/01/2010 17:52

tc hols,has to be kerry katona and mark the blagger as their schleb couple.imagine them,hogging loungers, gorging on buffet, dancing like tits at disco

bibbitybobbitysantahat · 09/01/2010 17:52

Please someone email this thread and the other one about it (few days ago) to the head of marketing at Thomas Cook!

"it is a cheestastic ad.from smarmtastic couple" - absolutely spot on Smummy.

LadyBlaBlah · 09/01/2010 17:53

It is thought that a certain 'creative' ad agency/friend of Mumsnet is responsible for it

shockers · 09/01/2010 17:53

... TC, keepin it real...

shockers · 09/01/2010 17:53

bibbitybobbitysantahat · 09/01/2010 17:55

Oh who please LadyB?

scottishmummy · 09/01/2010 18:07

you mean Mr black Lace?was it beta

expatinscotland · 09/01/2010 18:40

'Ah but who would you prefer to sell TC hols to you?'

Non-smug/smarmy celebs. No celebs at all.

shockers · 09/01/2010 18:51

Was hoping for more suggestions like scottishmummy's
I don't really want anyone to sell me a TC hol but where's the fun in that?

BarkisIsWilling · 10/01/2010 18:09

Someone from CBB?

Merrylegs · 10/01/2010 18:21

"We fantasize about it". No, no hang on. It's more like "We fanasize abou it"

Gah!

Anyway, no wonder they look so smug and relaxed. They've left the kids at home.

BendyBob · 10/01/2010 18:24

I was ROFL when I saw it remembering our camping holiday in the mud.
