Yes it is and completely unrealistic.

Maybe one of the creators should go up to a young girl at the bus stop and ask for a hug.

One of a few things might happen.

1. Told where to go
2. She' ll walk away
3. Get slapped
4. Get punched out by her boyfriend

She deffinately wouldnt hug back.

Can't remember what it's advertising, but I HATE the ad where a pathetic croaky little boy's voice comes on at the end, and says 'please keep away from children...'

Seem to recall it's laundry capsules - but yes, having a child tell me how to keep them safe would likely have me stuffing one in his mouth ...metaphorically of course

seeing all these age cream ads makes me think

Then we talked about how many times a night we made love,
Now we talk about how many time a night we have to pee,
Then we wanted a woman with a more 40 bra,
Now we want a woman with fewer than 40 years,
Then we came home with milk-man,
Now we go to bed with the Archers,
Then we talked about how many girl-friends we had,
Now we talk about how many pills we take a day,
Then we drove a red two seater sports car with a top speed of 100mph plus
Now we drive a little single seater mobility unit with a top speed of 8mph
Then we drove with the top down and the wind blowing in our hair,
Now we drive with the cover up to keep our head warm,
Then we could drink 8 pints, without feeling the effect,
Now we can pee 8 pints without stopping,
Then we saw the World in soft focus, because we were in love,
Now we see the World in soft focus, because we have cataracts,
Then we were light-headed because we were in love,
Now we are light-headed because with have low blood pressure.

A peeve with seeing 'the only thing dad can do right is make a sandwich right and only because it has our pickle in it' because they could just have easily gone the 'things not working out as hoped, at least the pickle is as expected' route rather than the facile 'hopeless dad' schtick all that's needed is a change to the voiceover to turn it into something rather more uplifting. I realise there's a 'comedy character' angle and nobody's dad is perfect but Frank Spencer was a really long time ago.

The cinema ad "What if the person next to you started touching you and grouping you??"

I'm over 40. I've been single for 4 years. Bring it on!!!

I haven't been grouped for years, not since I gave up being a singer, had some groupies then, ah happy days, Then girls would throw their knickers on the stage,
Now they throw throw tomatoes,
Still I don't mind, I make a fortune with my veggie stall outside the theatre

I think it's for Aerial capsules or something, and I thought it was a girl's voice (the ad shows him/her breakdancing for some reason). Anyway, I always think to myself at the end 'I always keep away from children anyway, unless it's really necessary).

The thing with that Curvissa advert is the 3rd woman where this message appears on the screen saying this is my attention seeker.

She bends herself back so shes pushing her breasts forward.

Is that what woman think men are interested in?

More than likely there will be both, across the range of hazchem-coded* substances offered by whichever company owns that brand, or it might be 'the new responsible thing' for whichever ad agency got the contract.



* unless the presence of a pretty label and an expensive ad campaign mean that this doesn't have to be displayed

Amazon Echo advert

Isn't that what Cortana/Siri is for?

The Anti Drink Drive ad with Helen Mirren - I cant decide if its clever or not I get that the punchline at the end subverts our expectations, but if Budweiser JUST want to sell the beer why didnt they just make a normal ad? What is the main focus supposed to be? I mean, even a normal advert would say "Please enjoy responsibly" or something like that.

That dire Invictus by Paco Rabanne advert annoys the hell out of me. The bit at the end where everyone wants to shag them is just... 🙄😑🙄😑

Yes, but this costs £150 extra! And people buy it!

I hate that ad too especially the whole advert.

Oh yeah lets leave the tablet on show and then when the child reaches out for them they shut the door.

Stop bloody teasing the child then.

Washing powder, because precious little snowflakes can't possibly be taught not to shove ariel capsules in their gob, let alone how to help with the housework.

Think it's Amazon prime where the couple think the day has gone well then she gives him a book of baby names.

The way they are talking it's like they have only just met, there's zero chemistry to add to the bad acting, no way have they made a baby!!

The Crisis at Christmas ad, is it only at Christmas that people are supposed to care about the homeless as you don't see these ads any other time of year, oh yeah donate a few quid at Christmas and stuff them the rest of the year that really solves the homeless problem.

Maybe its time PIFs came back and gave kids a dose of reality.

Presumably because those metal claws were deemed 'unchristmassy'? Or was it a more practical issue like bags tearing etc?

If Budweiser want to sell beer then they should make a decent beer.
