Adverts you hate #3

Didn't think it could get worse than the Lynx ad, but now I've seen the Sure all over deodorant ad. Zooming in on various body parts like 'balls' and 'trotters' and then at the end it looks like the guy rearranges himself and smells his fingers?? Wtf??

Andrex ad with the kid in school.

Kid pulls another kid's finger and kid skateboards to a toilet carrying a toilet roll.

What is going on with adverts these days that they all have to be so gross?

Went back a bit, but if repeating, sorry! The Skechers slip-ons, where Jamie Redknapp (whom I can't stand anyway) makes such a big deal about how 'I don't even have to touch my shoes.'

What do you mean, don't have to touch your shoes? Are you prone to dancing through streets that are knee deep in dog shit? Do you paddle in woodland streams that are actually formed of tributaries of the collective piss of rabbits, foxes and weasels?

Seriously, just say they are comfy shoes and now your knees are fucked, slip-ons are a littl easier.

Lynx lower body spray with the crotch and arse sniffing Why is that a thing?
It's revoltingly obscene! It's even worse than the one for Sure all-body spray. Then we have the Andrex toilet roll ad with a definite 'plop' sound at the end. Like, really! There's edgy and then there's seriously disgusting. I'm waiting for the next ad for condoms to appear, complete with scenes of a close-up of a used condom getting flung down the loo. Or maybe a tissue advert with tissues placed on a bedroom locker being used for a 'wipe-up' or to dry the wet patch.

There really are some sicko minds at work in the advertising depts these days.

I finally saw that one last night. I have a childish sense of humour at times, but that's just going into "disgusting" territory.

I can sort of understand it if it was shown during kids programmes or something because it's about kids not going to the loo at school but 9pm at night?

As if Jamie Redknapp wears Skechers, anyway!

There is a car advert where a woman is carrying a load of heavy shopping bags back to her car in the car park. As she approaches her car, she realises she's forgotten to buy onions. So she turns round and heads back to the shops with the bags in tow, instead of just putting them into the boot. Stupid!

The one for a Samsung phone I think where he ballses up his pasta sauce so his phone AI gives him the recipe for revolting cookies instead, the fella needs a pasta sauce. In what world do cookies substitute a sauce?

I hate that one and at one point while watching something on prime every ad break was just that advert played 3 times, it was like torture.

I really hate the Samsung AI one where the woman randomly stops in the middle of the street and randomly decides to asks her phone for a photo from a holiday for no obvious reason whatsoever.

Any AI-related ad. It drives me nuts that you can't choose "AI" as an ad topic to see less of on FB and other social media.

That stupid Toblerone ad that would have us believe that people are BITING those triangle chunks off. No- one with a normal set of teeth could do that or they would snap off! Plus, the people in the ad look disgusting chewing the chocolate.

There's just been one with an annoying Colin Hunt-type bloke saying "bing bong! Exqueeze me!" Most of it is set in a really out-of-date office as well.

We just saw that. It’s for Audible, totally baffled.

I’m no prude-in fact I’m probably the opposite. Nothing really offends me. I’ve a weird sense of humour. But does anyone think adverts are just getting a bit ick? Especially the pepto bismal, andrex and viagra adverts? I don’t need to hear a little boy farting in class or silly idiots singing “diarrhoea oh” So many now I just cringe and think ewww

There are so many ones like that now. I don't even think we need to see women putting sanitary towels in their pants - we all know how to do that. I get there is normalising and breaking down taboos, but I just don't want to see it tbh. Any more than I'd want to see someone wiping their bum.
As for spraying deodorant on your balls and arse so people can have a good sniff and the one where the man is shaving his balls for a completely unrelated deliveroo ad (I think).
I think if the ad was good or witty it might be better - but it's just shock factor atm.

The bloke shaving his balls is Dominos

I remember when adverts were funny. I'm remembering them all for the wrong reason. Still doesn't want me to buy their products
