Topic: Adverts you hate

[duvva 💅]

It's something like x% of people aren't comfortable pooing at work. Who are these fools?

We all know the rhyme: Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I dump on company time.

I’m sure they didn’t include the stats and the “Get Comfortable” on screen the first time I watched. So perhaps they’ve realised how bizarre it looked and added it in.

Still horrendous

With out childish humour, me and the missus actually like the advert. She'd never poo at work/in a restaurant etc as she's terrified she'll stink the place out and would get dead embarrassed. I always do a dump on works time, even WFH I won't go until after 9am.

Also, if you drive trucks at all, you cannot be picky on where you shit, some of the RDC bogs are not the nicest and the general public are fucking dirty c*nts, motorway service station bogs are horrible.

The new Gillette Ad

Yes, they have always been very schmaltzy and that's how they roll.  The new ad features a montage of clean-cut culturally diverse American men doing their thing with a razor. 

There is one bit though where a bloke (who I think is supposed to be a father) is watching a teenage lad (who I assume is his teenage son) shaving.  The look on his face is akin to lust rather than pride.

Check the letchy fucker out next time the ad comes on.

If I gawped at my lad shaving like that when he was 16, he'd spray the full can of shaving foam in my eyes

Tina Fey now in the Booking.com adverts. Americans in ads just come across as so insincere, always just feels like they're too cheap to make a European-specific advert.

Also, why does every advert have to have a 'quirky' character in it? A scarecrow, a giant, a meerkat, something obscure breaking the fourth wall and being a bit too knowing? I think that's the problem now, so many ads are a bit too self-aware so it takes away from the intended effect, which is to make you feel positive towards a product.

the Uber trains add, I just wanna push the thick sounding fucking meffs under a train.

Most ads seem to be written by fucking idiots these days.

Have no opinion on the ad itself but a nice surprise to hear Stereolab on one today.

I was just on Tiktok and just saw the scariest advert ever made in 1971
