Adverts that wind you up

[bronze]

The virgin advert- no women pilots and no male air stewards.

Ones with glossy haired women telling you how to achieve the same effect with some shampoo or other. And the small print says 'hair styled with natural extensions'. So basically it's an ad encouraging you adorn your head thanks to people desperate enough to have to sell their own hair.

I actually like Ryvita - with a big slick of butter and a slab of cheese. But not the ad.

I don't know SGB, because all the big farters I know under 80 come equipped with a cock.

It's the cock that rises internally and taps out a jaunty farty rhythm on the lower intestine.

'That's why mums shop at iceland'...fuck off!!!!!!!!

Aaaargh the one in which Louise Redknapp goes on about her holidays - 'iee is romantic,iee is blah blah
I sit there yelling it it t t t

Ooops didnt see this was about sexist ads - In that case most of em !

Calgon!!! Where the knowledgable washing machine repair man has to take the woman's washing machine off her because she didn't use Calgon

Dietchef - "it's what all women want" [to diet to lose weight]. So much wrong with that statement I don't know where to start. Dieting is ineffective, not every woman wants to lose weight, men clearly don't need to!

And breathe...

Bibi, totally agree about the pasta ad. So at the very start of this would-be relationship, when he's doing his best to woo you, the manipulative fucker is getting you to do all the work, and all you do is smile delightedly? Can you imagine what it would be like to be married to him?

And the Boots one with the sick women doing all the work - at first I thought it was funny, but now I think there's a subtext that of course women OUGHT to put their own needs last. Drug yourself to the eyeballs, lady, and keep doing all your duties!

(not for sexist reasons, but the lloyds bank ones are deeply irritating).

"the manipulative fucker is getting you to do all the work, and all you do is smile delightedly?"

that just made me lol!! Exactly!! I'm not known as being demanding but even I would expect more than getting to do the cooking for a date I didn't know I was having, in my own home and plain pasta with a knob of butter too, Oh, yum yum :)

I'm planningto sell my hair next year, actually. Just because.....

I'm worth it (about 200 quid apparently)

I started a thread with this- but it seems like I should have posted it here, so here we are...

I can't believe noone has mentioned that appaling face cream advert where they say "until you want something more drastic, this cream will stop your face looking like an arse" Jesus that does my head in.

I mean every single one of us should just be block booked in for a face lift at 40, right?

The one that really annoys me is the Aviva health insurance one with the "nurses" dressed in stereotypical, supposedly sexy nurse costumes.

As a nurse of over 30 years experience and several academic and professional qualifications, this advert offends me on so many levels.......

I despise the advert for a furniture store which has some young ladies dancing round a sofa in their undies.

Because really that is going to make me buy your sofa

Also any advert in general endorsed' by a celebrity' particularly anti-wrinkle ones - just let us get old in peace.

All I have noticed according to adverts.. apparently only women have 'bowel problems'..wouldn't know it... since my DH and most men I know have arse issues...extreme farting being the most obvious...

and who changed that Confused.com man to a woman??? I mean the hair?..the tits?...no real feminist issue but it irritates the hell outta me...

Oh and that Boots advert where the women obviously should be in bed but they are traipsing around giving their flu to everyone because they are 'wimmin' and they are there to care for their husbands who have the sense to 'stay' in fucking bed..

Yeah, the bowel adverts never seem to feature squitting/constipated/farting men do they? Yet in real life men seem far more prone to gut rot than women

^^

David Mitchell's take on the differences between adverts aimed at men, and women.

The Co-Op advert is annoying me, some woman supposedly having a discussion with her SO about how crap her life is because she spends all her free time shopping, but everything will be ok if she just pops down the Co-Op.

I like old movies.....

Like the Godfather 3...

It's a shit movie mannn...but that's just me!
