Most offputting Advert on TV?

These latest whole body deodorants are not “healthy” or necessary but will almost certainly be aimed at adolescents and even younger. It plays on the subliminal notions of acceptability picked up from what parents, family and the all important peer group say and do.

Most of these body sprays are used as a proxy for a good wash and clean clothes.
We all know that people sweat especially more so during puberty.

To me that ‘smelly bits’ ad is much the same as all those ‘FRESH!!’ ads for laundry scent boosters.

The manufacturers dream up something we don’t need, and then it’s down to their advertising agencies to convince us that we do.

All over body spray- ugh.. but have looked for it in shops- haven’t found it😩

Could not believe my eyes when I first saw the advert for all over body spray, how can we have stooped so low that we show pictures of people spraying their genitals, or sniffing each other. I wonder what effect it will have on young teens who may think this is the norm, is it even healthy?

I am not sure these ads are effective in product placement. There are so many that I have sat through loads of times but I couldn't tell what they are for.

Perhaps they influence people subliminally and one day I will find myself irresistibly drawn to buying a chemical room freshener without realising why.

It’s the gambling ones that get us annoyed in our house.

I can’t stand the adverts for extra and expensive products to make your laundry smell nice. Completely unnecessary

I dislike lots of those mentioned, but they’re failing in one aspect for their sales, though a bonus for other makes.
I can never remember the name of the product, not even the bulky pee pants, so if I needed them I’d buy whatever was cheapest.

How ludicrous it all was Aely.

At least with the modern sanitary towel Ads it doesn't give the impression that we ladies menstruate blue blood. Surely only the Royals do that?

My mother would perhaps have been shocked by such ads appearing at all, but I do think it is healthier than "Ladies Necessaries" being a hidden, under-the-counter, product only available in the chemist, by request. Orders were to hang back until no man was present in the shop and ask for a female assistant.

It literally sets my teeth on edge watching teeth being brushed. The equivalent of nails down a blackboard!🙀

Anything that is about weeing in your pants, pooing (especially diarrhoea), gushing menstruation, genitals (sniffing of) etc.

I also find the numerous ones about people enjoying artificial smells annoying.

I agree!

I also dislike this adverts and utterly cringe at some of them.

Every advert now appears to be advertising how not to be a smelly person, (sweat is natural and needed), or to have artificially smelling houses and laundry or bodily functions!

It's funny really - not funny ha ha but funny peculiar. We don't generally worry about watching toothpaste and teeth ads for example but we do about our bottoms which are also part of us.

Yes, it does make us remember them, maybe, but in my case it also makes me determined not to buy that item.

The fact that you remember these adverts must mean the advertisers job is done, the only thing is can you remember the product.............

No 😂

The advert for loo rolls, does the child have to tell the whole school he’s going to the toilet, the other one which makes me cringe are the two men talking in children’s voices, it’s creepy ☹️

I hate the many advertisements for funeral plans.
Otherwise it has to be the hard sell ones for Dormeo.

Lynx ads disgusting,wouldn't buy it, also huge bottoms, advertising toilet rolls, sanitary wear,etc. The one of the woman sitting on her husband's shoulder shouting I've got my pee pads on are ads can't stand, put me off buying these type of products, those advertisements are tasteless and vulgar, shows the mind of the person creating them not prospective customers.

The one for Lynx, where the basketball player sniffs another man's groin, and the woman in the cinema sniffs a man's bum. Revolting.

My son walked in while this ad was on. "What the hell is that?" was his reaction, so men aren't impressed either.

I thought it was the Linx advert, aren’t they sniffing each other’s privates on that advert?

Also why so graphic with all these pants, pads and nappies, we all know what goes in them, looks like

I suspect some people don't know. The kind who send their kids to primary school in nappies because potty training was too much of a struggle.

Pee pants.
"Oh my gush" and any used sanitarry towels.
Bottom sniffing ad for all-body deodorant.
Brave brandishing of toilet rolls in the office and classroom,
Air fresheners to hide poo smells
