Disturbing Money Supermarket Advert

toofast · 01/02/15 - 11:26

Does anyone else find it disturbing too?
I am no prude but it's just so creepy, seeing a half suited man's wearing tight jeans with a huge back side, jirating it whilst walking down the street in high heals. And its his face too. Creepy.
I have to turn over as soon as it comes on!

I don't think it's creepy but I can't understand why people think it's funny.

It's utter drivel and if anything it puts me off ever using Money Supermarket.

Well the op created a thread on this and we are talking about it. The powers of advertising

toofast · 01/02/15 - 11:34

Its so not even humourous. It too makes puts me off MS.

Great song though.:D

The dancing idiot is bad, but it gets even worse when that Sharon Osbourne shows her face near the end of the advert. That is switch-off time:(

and someone's been paid good money to create it!

I think it is funny and clever.

I know an older homophobe who hates it and changes channels when it comes on, though.

How can you tell that the fella in the advert is supposed be gay? Do gay men usually walk down the street like that?

It is a great advert, love watching him dancing down the street with attitude.

They should do it to 'Staying Alive'.

Taintedmeat · 01/02/15 - 12:41

Is that the guys real arse?

peach45 · 01/02/15 - 12:46

Makes me smile every time it comes on

Gusto Brunt · 01/02/15 - 12:50

I seen that guy before, somewhere. Anyone know HIS name?

[Deleted User] · 01/02/15 - 12:53

I reach for the remote too, it gives me the creeps.

Sexist, transgenderphobic and homophobic, all in one go.

Really? I thought it was taking the piss out of the media's obsession with women's arses personally

Nope.

TrishaS · 01/02/15 - 13:33

I hate it too yes it is creepy, and it's only women he shakes his ugly ass at so that is sexist and threatening

I wouldn't buy their product

Espresso · 01/02/15 - 13:34

I don't think it's disturbing. Don't see what it's got to do with whatever it's supposed to be advertising, though. Mind you a lot of adverts are like that.

I know the advert for Marmite which compares a jar of Marmite to abused dogs disturbs me more.

Cressida · 01/02/15 - 13:41

I don’t find it disturbing at all, I love the girls faces and I’m quite admiring of how he can shake it about.

I though it was his own bum as it matches his chunky legs but if it’s his bum or it isn‘t well done him for taking the job and giving everyone a jolt which is no more than what’s intended.

Horrible advert, can't stand it.

warszawa · 01/02/15 - 13:45

I don't care what it's supposed to be, it repulses me no end.

Pretzel · 01/02/15 - 13:49

I don't find it it funny or like it but then it's clearly not aimed at my demographic. Which is odd in itself as I would have said that those most interested in Money Supermarket products are older and not the youth market this and other MS adverts seem to appeal to.

Still, I suppose their ad and marketing dept know what they're doing and it's working for them.

Hey there!
