Ever more ridiculous adverts.

Oh that James Corden one, how I loathe it. That and Audrey Hepburn. Why can't she eat her chocolate on the coach? It's been on too long and I'm sick of it.
I usually hit the mute button as soon as the ads come on anyway.

Our cat loves the one with hens...Waitrose eggs, I think. I have to replay it for him.
He doesn't do the shopping, though.

After this ad:

youtu.be/XLpDiIVX0Wo

The company is trying to sell more gum to women.

Cold. Me too. I shudder at those ads. The mother one is just as bad. Btw why does he give the car a name if he's only renting it for a day?

On a more positive note, the Skeletor ad makes me smile every time

Am happily married pensioner. Can anyone explain why the chap in th Cadbury Dairy milk advert who sings yes sir I can boogie does it for me(you know what I mean!)

Oh I loath that ad too. The first time I saw it I couldn't believe my eyes that they had a woman going to her wedding chewing gum, of course I realised why at the end as it was for gum. But really! Chewing gum going to your wedding, revolting. I just hate seeing people chewing gum (usually with their mouths open!) I don't know why it irritates me so much. People chewing gum always remind me of cows chewing the cud! Haha! No offense to cows, I like cows.

I don't get the M&S one either. I never remember who it is for till the end - I always think next time I see it I must try and see what clothes the people are wearing (that must be the point of it?) but I always forget!

I quite like that car rental one (Sixt?) But that is probably my peculiar sense of humour! X

Surely the adverts are there to provide time for us to let the dog out (or in) and put the kettle on or change into pyjamas?

I don't believe they sell us much, I can rarely guess what the product is and if something caught my fancy, I would be trying to get a second hand one.

Yes Deedaa the M & S advert has me puzzled too! I rather liked it until the end when the M &S logo popped up! I assume it means we should shop for quality, only the best will do. They're using the slogan on their food adverts too.

I just love the ostrich that flies...Have no idea what it's advertising but it makes me laugh!

HellsBells, same here, think he just had a cheeky face!

I know we are supposed to be enlightened but does anyone else find adverts for vaginal dryness a tad disconcerting at tea time?

Must admit liking the ad that used to be on for Beagle St. insurance as it had a real beagle.

Nanny27 I agree but must also add the one about mucous coughs ! Apart from that I find some boring (James cordon and go compare ) but some make me smile, like berroca and the latest Sainsburys one.

My bugbear with them these days is that they are using (some very well known) cartoon characters which makes me feel that they are really targetting children! A very naughty thing to do. However additionally most adverts are so obscure that I don't even know what they are for...??

I think the ads for vaginal dryness should be on after the watershed I had a t call from my cousin (single dad) asking advice as his 9 yr old had asked what vaginal dryness was! Also loathe the air freshener one with the VIP loo showing contents of the loo don't think any of us need so much detail ?

phoenix if you watch tv programmes online on catch up you can't fast forward the adverts. They can't always be avoided. They are important anyway in that they do influence people and are a massive part of our economy.
I often watch YouTube films or old programmes when I go to bed and I keep getting bloody Theresa May. At least you can skip them after a few seconds but it is not what I would choose to see before going to sleep.

Re the James Corden ad for Confused.com (or one of those), did anyone notice that it started out with him saying "Now THAT's how you park in this town!" and then suddenly ditched the Mr Greenlight beginning and became much shorter, ending with him saying instead "And that's why they call me the Parking Master". Totally trivial, sorry, but I just wonder if the town where it was filmed actually complained about the original ad?

Adverts have no effect on me whatsoever as I can never understand/record and whizz over them!

The Specsaver ads are brilliant though.

And I'm sorry some of you are having a rough time. I've just had an operation and am fed up too. But it's sunny outside and I'm hoping to be cheered up by GN's! for all of you.

By the way. The sales at DFS and SCS end bank holiday Monday!!!!!! And next Monday and the one after .............

Record everything on commercial stations & whiz through the ads.
You can always pause it if you want to out & make a coffee or get a bottle of wine!
I refuse to be preached at in my own house- but I do watch Christmas M&S & JL ads at least once.

Do you think they've started filming those Christmas adverts already? I wouldn't be surprised!

I hardly ever see any ads. Ads are when I make tea, visit the bathroom,fetch a hanky, bring in the washing, take it upstairs, check tomorrow's weather forecast, take out the rubbish, throw the peelings on the compost heap (last night - go down the garden with a torch to fetch in the drill I had been using on the fence and forgot about), if I am babysitting check my grandson is still breathing, and so on and so on. I just don't notice the ads.
