Two tv adverts I can do without

I hate the Pure Cremation ad that shows that rather large man in a bath

I saw that one last night for the first time.
I thought it was a normal size man, but in a very small bath!
He looked very odd...

When his wife picked the phone up to arrange their funeral plans, I half expected her to say creepily, "No, just the one..." 🫣

😂😂😂
Can't stop laughing V3ra* 😂

Phillip Schofield’s comeback and Meghan Markle’s new documentary.

Thanks, I hadn’t seen them.

Oh, and the ones for a chocolate bar where the little girl pays with her favourite My Little Pony.

Even when I was 6 (not that we had a TV then) I think I’d have thought that girl was not quite right in the head, to think she could pay with toys. And I was all too conscious at a very early age of money being very tight.

😂
I agree, it should have been a 3 or 4 year old really in the ad.

The sanitary, menstrual products; especially around tea time. I’m no prude but YUK!!!

I don’t take a scrap of notice of them I just completely blank out when anything's on that doesn’t interest me

Ditto to all the funeral/cremation ones.

The current crop of Fresh!!! OMG so FRESH!! for smelly laundry additives are my pet loathing at the moment.

And that annoying electric-toothbrush one, she who feels super-confident because he mouth feels so super-clean. Not to mention all the toothpaste ones, where people are apparently brushing their teeth with no toothpaste….

I can't stand the one with the unshaven man holding a soft toy in a back garden and looking at the back of the house which has the garden.
It's an advert for Resi extensions I think ,but the man is very weird - dressed in shorts and wellies and clutching his soft toy throughout like a 6-year old.
The accompanying song is also very irritating. It may not be on anymore as I see it whenever I watch programmes I recorded from August.

I love that one!

Mostly, I just ignore adverts and use the time to pop to the loo or get a drink.

I hate the gambling ones and think they should all be banned. All made worse by DH vociferously moaning about them every time they come on!

I do like the Gillette ad 😁

No do I.
I can’t bear the ad where a woman moves a bedside lam so that half the bed tips and her partner falls down into the room below- just so she can enjoy a bowl of cereal?
Mostly I just ignore ads or go and make a drink.

When there is a program you don’t like, you can switch it off
However, with adverts which pop up every so often for a few seconds without any warning I cannot grab the remote control before it finishes.
I’ve been cast away …
She has divided …
So I turn down all adverts, at the moment, it is not possible to cut them out.
I certainly will not be watching either program and you?

I don’t know what those ads are?

Keep the remote beside you and mute them. That's what we do.

Or record your favourite programmes and fast forward through the adverts.

That’s what we do.

Adverts drive me nuts!

I don’t like most of them, but pee-pants, pure cremation and all cleaning ads are my least favourite!

We literally never watch any program live (apart from news), always record and fast-forward ads or repetitive bits.
Depending how long the show is will depend how long we wait to start watching it, generally 20 minutes or so.

Allira I would love to pay the TV license and have all those opportunities of recording extra but I am in the EU so can’t record UK programs,
That being said those 2 adverts/programs give me the creeps.
