Add to the fact that because she's disabled, are we meant to brush this behaviour off and think it's funny?
It's a tasteless advert as it is, but throw in the disabled actress for the "shock" factor and it is totally patronising and exploitative

Exactly, it is spiteful, rude and nasty and I can't possibly see the connection to a bag of sweets.
The "spasm" one is embarrassing and makes me cringe and again, why on earth would I want to go out and buy a bag of their sweets on the strength of the advert? More likely to have the opposite effect. Those ads are just saying look disabled people can be just as rude and offensive as able bodied people. Deeply patronising and misguided. |

Thing is, Top Cat's credit score should be through the floor, what with him being an unemployed criminal of no fixed means or abode. Lending him money, even for something as small as a duplex rubbish bin, is exactly the sort of irresponsible fiscal behaviour that caused the 2008 financial crash.

I haven't seen the advert yet (thankfully) but that is irresponsible if they are showing someone looking for alcohol under the sink where chemicals are.
Haven't they seen the safety film 'Apaches'? |

How come partworks are only advertised after Christmas?
I had a girlfriend who was taking a part-work back in 1976, she couldn't see that. |

You've probably seen a shortened version of the advert but the version I've seen we see the bears struggling to take their cases off the carousel which suggests they have just come back from somewhere

The one with the woman in the wheelchair who brags about crushing a bridesmaid's (?) foot with her wheel and leaving with the best man's number and that annoying thing she does with her fingers when she says "guilty" really irritates me.
As if injuring someone is something to be proud of. |

Revolting. And it doesn't even obey its own logic; if, as she says, her "hands were wandering", in what way did he "misread the situation"? Her hand must have been in position when the spasm started, therefore the situation was hardly open to a wide range of interpretations.

I don't see how the boyfriends would think their girlfriends talking about their private sex acts publicly would be appropriate.

I wouldn't tell my sister if I needed incontinence pants!
I like the ad where the man says 'Dad, the boiler's gone', and there's a boiler on legs running down the street. Basic but funny. |

I have no idea what the ad is for but the one with two teenage girls sat in the back of a car on their mobile phones while chatting to each other in a stereotypical text speak way.

based on a VERY old sketch with I believe either Morcambe and Wise or Spike Milligan, the fireplace rolls out of the door, "Mother the fire has gone out"

Yeah. At least when John Lydon sold out and did butter ads, they were funny.
What next, Angus Young plugging Saga Holidays? Or Patti Smith saying "Read the "People's Friend"? ![]() I won't buy anything from Argos because of that stupid annoying bloody song in their advert. The woah, woah woah woah woah repeat repeat. Or from oak furniture land. Their stuff is quite expensive, and they advertise it as good quality solid oak furniture. Then they have the tackiest 'I wanna knock, on wood' but at the end, which to me makes their entire brand and products come across as totally cheap. |

Does anyone remember the light bulb adverts about 20 years ago, where all the lightbulbs in the house were making erm farty noises and the strap line was Light bulbs behaving badly? I used to laugh my head off at that one.

The bizarre Malteasers disabled adverts, as mentioned.
The McDonalds ad about their chicken nuggets being filled with "beaks and feet". "Beaks and feet, beaks and feet..." mentioned over and over - I know they're trying to play on the assumption that everyone kinda knows fast food meat isn't the best, I do like a good ol' greasy McDonalds now and then, but that advert just puts me right off buying any of their chicken. Also a general observation, but there's a gradually increasing, encroaching amount of Gogglebox-style adverts - folks sat on couches conversing about products etc. Either the same, unimaginative ad agency are making the ads or it's just bandwagon practice. I hate Gogglebox as a show anyway, so having bizarre, over-the-top camp couples and cringey, loud families fighting over the spotlight with unfunny, scripted faux banter is not going to make me want to buy what you're trying to sell me. |
