"My daughter has to bake cakes for school tomorrow and the fridge has broken, oh no!"

Oh no indeed, I have no idea how you'll get those cakes baked with that broken fridge.

I confess - I've been trying to get my head round that one.

so did films in the 1930-5os- show stupid black people, "Amos and Andy" black railway porters etc. but THEY wouldn't be allowed today

true but that does excuse the way that men being shown today, any more than the way the nazi treated us Jews would allow us to do the same to Germans today.

in other words, what happened in the past does justify injustice today
You're supposed to learn from mistakes in the past not use them to justify making the same mistakes again

Safestyle windows ad : - 55% all windows and doors, Erm 55 % off what? a price you'll make up/pluck out of the air when you come round? Is there an online price list where I can see a set price and think 'Oh i'll get 55% off that'.

Bandits.

From what I can remember women in ads were, indeed, almost always portrayed as housewives, but they weren't held up as figures of ridicule and scorn. They were good at being housewives, not forever mucking every single little thing up in a particularly stupid way.
That's true but there are some disgusting adverts similar to the oven pride ad
The one with the "so simple even a man can do it" but saying things like "don't worry dear, you didn't burn the beer" or "The chef does everything but cook. That's what wives are for"

It's like supermarkets that raise the price of a product one week just to reduce it the next so it looks like you're getting a discount during the offer.

Did no one, while that ad was being written and produced, stop and just say, hang on, this makes no sense??

Oh my god that Wilkinsons shaver advert. Did she really talk about shaving her minge at half 2 in the afternoon?

Who gives a shit about some party in the pool you're going to. So you want to look your best by shaving your fanny? Get a life.

I've just seen the Amigo Loans ad, the guarantor is there 'to make the repayments, if you don't ' ! It's said in such a jolly voice it makes it seem that repaying someone else's loan is fine and dandy and not at all an imposition. It annoys me every time I hear it.

The pizza advert with the peculiar mouths and the exact same effect for a Crunchie advert! Cringe!

Oh come on Dave....or is that Rodney?! Since the joke is on me I'm entitled to say if it's funny or not

Meanwhile, back in the thread:

Loving the comments on the "Teenage Kicks" J D Williams ad. Except that, although the clothes may look cheap they most certainly aren't.

At least we have prepared you. Last night one ad break had this and the Dominos ad with the CGI'd gobs. Both are revolting. In fact the Crunchie woman is somewhat scary looking before the CGI kicks in due to the fact her make up appears to have been applied with crayons. (Clearly the advertisers think 'woman in position of authority = trowel the no-nonsense make up on'). But then she turns into what can only be described as an old lady version of Linda Blair in the Exorcist. The ending has some fishwife voiceover too, for good measure.
You've made we want to see it more now

That plenty advert is on AGAIN!

God that kid really does my head in the way he walks into the kitchen with a stupid smirk on his face because hes put dog shit all over mummys clean kitchen floor.

The product itself is just dumb because you cant just wring a piece of kitchen paper when its wet like you can with a flannel.
