Creepy Adverts on Television. [1]

I hate the EE advert when Kevin Bacon is buried alive.
I did put in a complaint to the Advertising Standards Agency as the thought of being buried alive is my worst nightmare.
They replied that as he is shown alive at the end of the advert my complaint wasn't upheld; but I wasn't the only one to complain

I cannot stand the June adverts.
Also the Pure Cremation ones where the deceased family are shown having a party presumablyon the saved insurance money

The Twix advert with the 2 bears eying up the 2 men discussing the merits of the aforementioned confectionery item. 😕

The bulky pee pants advert - total cringe.

I want to know why dodgy Derek is going to buy new binoculars with his cash gift. What's he up to with them in the conservatory?? Hmm...........

" Nothing wrong with donkeys nor Scottish accents ( love them) but the combination is really peculiar. "

I agree, having thought that every time the ad is on. As I said to DH a couple of days ago (jokingly), it's so wrong - everyone knows that donkeys don't speak with a Scottish accent!

Still couldn't tell you what they are advertising though.

So pleased I have my Humax and anything I want to watch is rcorded onto that, so that when I do watch it ALL adverts. are just very fast forwarded. So, not only do I NEVER see any advert. but saves a lot of time also.

Watching an ad with my adult son about vaginal dryness! 🫣

Crikey I must watch much less TV than I thought as I dont recognise any of these adverts!

Why does the man who brings June the parsnips set them down in the middle of what I assume is supposed to be her living room?

And spare me from all those jigging people - especiallly the We Buy Any Car.com

And those ridiculous people dancing through the Wren kitchens ...

Perhaps Derek has wisely chosen to avoid the group of enthusiastic dancers in June’s kitchen? 🤔

Anything can happen in Adland…

How about the ultra-creeps in the 'Verisure' alarm!!

The phone wielding coffee shop customer who puts down the server for not remembering his name with 'at least you got the coffee right'. No 'thank you' so it might be set in Winchester.

And the two women discussing the installation of an alarm for Mum . . . 'peace of mind for me . . . and her!'. I fantasise that the young person doing the alarm fitting is inviting 'Mum' on a hot date, will marry her and Mum will disinherit her kid(s).

‘We buy any car.com’ and Wren have dancers . Why . Just plain silly

Has anyone noticed in the Daisy Daisy ad the girls arent wearing bras. Boobs bouncing all over the place 😂

I toocan't stand the latest batch of adverts where everyone starts dancing.Sold a car,sold a house ?Then dash out into the street and start gyrating and break dancing with an inane grin on your face.They drive me nuts !

There’s a holiday add with the most obnoxious family. The son teases his sister who has dropped her ice cream, the mum throws her flip flop at a sunbather and the son is seen tucking into doughnuts in the “private “ lounge. I must remember the name of this company to ensure I never travel with them.

Oh yes! The vile family that you dread being at the same place as you on holiday! I want to avoid the kind of customer they think they are appealing to

Do the Always ads really need the red liquid?

The ads for period pads previously used blue liquid, and allegedly this led to young girls worrying there was something wrong with them because when their periods started they were red, not blue. May not be true of course.

That creepy man on the dating website who sticks his tongue out in imitation of a Picasso-esque picture annoys me when I don't look away in time

what annoys me more about the Picasso ad is how the silly woman he is with giggles like a 12 year old as if he is the greatest comedian ever. His ego will be the size of a planet thanks to that silly simpering woman

People must be able to relate to the feeling of clean bedding?

I think it's sweet

I do wonder how some ads ever get made, when they’re shown to the company who pays for them, how would they think
‘Yay!What a great ad’ ? I mean that Pot Noodle ad with a donkey, or the grinning Scottish donkey for a start.

Over the weekend I saw both donkey ads in one ad slot between programmes .
I half expected the irritating man with his Picasso impression and his simpering admiring partner . I thought that I was the only one , who found him irritating !

I was just going to mention this one, if that was my son he'd be getting left behind like Kevin in Home Alone horrid advert and teaches kids who are watching its 'ok' to be awful to your siblings.

There’s a lot of very poor adverts. Dislike that woman on the toilet, would not buy their products if I needed them. Also why has every advert now got a mixed family? Is is now compulsory? Why do the people in so many have accents you can’t understand or people mumble. StandArds have dropped, I use advert times to make a cuppa, do a small job, rather than watch them.

I feel sorry for the actress who sits on the toilet, imagine her agent saying " You got the ad! Well done! " Hard to turn work down these days, and ads pay pretty well.
