Creepy Adverts on Television. [1]

Do you notice every ad for say a cleaning product is fronted by a man these days. Are they scared to show a woman mopping the floor, or cleaning worktops, as they'll be accused of sexism. I would bet the majority of people washing the floor would be women anyway.

Great idea 😂
But yes, you're right.

The Airbnb Advert - Strangers
Yeti-like creatures are staying in an Air b&b but then turn into humans when they go out through the door.

What on earth is the message there?
It would certainly put me off booking an Airbnb in case I turned into a Yeti.

Anything with Kevin Bacon.

The American woman who "wraps her baby in softness when she is not in her arms" and then closes the box of fairy pods with a "click clack"'.

“Always keep away from children” 😂 on detergent pods.
Well I try my best…..

The Numan ads creep me out.

The Numan ads, especially the one with the chain saw that doesn’t work, makes me laugh. Possibly shouldn’t at it is no laughing matter.

I hate the Numan ads. Just prey on men’s insecurities. How many men watching them can afford a hair transplant?

I just can’t stand looking at that woman sitting on the toilet, a new low, pity someone was paid well for thinking that one up, I wouldn’t buy the products if there was an alternative. As for advertising hair transplants, that is telling men that losing your hair is,to be avoided at all costs, the worst thing, it’s not we are not bothered, they are good enough as they are.

That stupid song and dance at the end of the Head & Shoulders ad !!!

Oh I love the Head and Shoulders ad! I think the comic timing in it is great.

Read this thread and haven't a clue about any of the adverts, I record every commercial channel programme that I want to see and then fast forward the adverts. By the sounds of it they are mostly rubbish and would not induce me to buy their products anyway.

I haven't seen any of these. I think I need an "advert evening"

I love the Head and Shoulders advert. We incorporate “ I don’t!” into many conversations… I know, get a life! 😂

She’s Irish, definitely Irish.

Me too! There are some adverts that I always stop whatever I’m doing and watch and that’s one of them. ( I think he’s quite cute, too )

Yes, she's quite well-known, I think but I can't remember who she is 😁

I don't mind her, but she is Mrs Perfect.

I dont use Fairy for towels, it just doesn't wash out well, needs about 10 rinses!

I agree the Head & Shoulders man is quite cute but the ad is ruined for me with the La La Land type finale.

🤣. my thoughts too!!

What really, really annoys me is when very well-known, well-paid, super-rich actors and celebrities are employed to do the adverts.

Judi Dench, Carol Vorderman, Kevin Bacon, George Clooney, Lily James et al.

Not only do they prevent struggling actors making some essential money making adverts, their fee is so huge the price of the product they're selling will be higher.
I can't even remember what they are advertising in most cases.
Oh yes, George and coffee (but no idea what make).

And that one where a woman strums a guitar on a beach on a planet somewhere is so annoying ......

I agree all these ads for online dating are off putting. If that is a sample of the men on offer would be tempted ?

The ad that makes me feel unwell is the vacuum cleaner ad that shows a blown up picture of fleas' eggs. I usually manage to look away in time.

Actually the revolting things may be bacteria. I did not wait to find out.

I agree with Allsorts that so many ads now have mixed race families. Advertisers obviously afraid of offending someone. I wondered if ads are tested out on real people before they decide to go ahead - I mean how can a donkey with a Scottish accent in the bathroom encourage you to buy the product?

I avoid all the adverts by recording anything I like on ITV and then I can whizz through the adverts. The donkey one is particularly annoying!

He’s very cute!
