Absolute nonsense.

Absolutely agree. It is horrid.

I don’t watch adverts. If a programme I want to watch is on a commercial channel, I record it and fast forward through the adverts.

We generally record programmes and fast forward during the ads, but sometimes you just can’t escape them and the ‘pee pads’ one and the ghastly one with a dreadful man advertising holidays and jumping into the pool are just beyond awful.

I can't stand adverts, full stop.
Using cartoon creatures to advertise things to grown adults seems to be the absolute height of stupidity, to me.

I do like the haribo ads, though.

There is a new one to do with loo paper.And yes, the pot noodles is disgusting.

Most adverts now are appalling. I agree GSM about the bulky pee pads. Awful. I often record programmes and skip the adverts. The only ones I enjoy are the Specsavers ones which can be quite funny.

I haven’t seen it. The one I find disgusting is the woman with her ‘bulky pee pads’ ‘letting it all go’. 🤮
