Immigrants from Ireland, Europe, Canada, USA etc are mainly white...
What's that got to do with what I was talking about? I never mentioned anything about immigrants.

Yes, awful adverts! The one with that irritating bint saying 'you'll have to smell for today!' grates on me!
If only there was some way to make water hot, say using a pan and the stove.

That drink drive ad where the woman wants her drunk husband to come and pick her up from a night out. He ends up in the doghouse because he refused.

What sort of information does this send out ffs!!!! Why is the man the bad person in this ad. He is preventing death by drink driving. Why would the makers think this is a good ad
There's another one where a guy gets sent to Siberia because he refuses an alcoholic drink from his boss. (I don't know how they work, but could he take them to an industrial tribunal?)

The blonde, glaikit, gullible woman from the EDF energy adverts is too thick to be allowed near a gas supply. Looks like she would sign up for anything on her doorstep.

That woman who says"You'll have to smell today"-has the hot water only just gone off, or did the dirty bitch not have a wash before leaving for work?

OMG that's a TERRIBLE ad. Some bunch of halfwits come to the door with a freaky little puppet and say 'show him your energy bills.' So she does that, and the man says 'HE says you can save £200 a year on your bills..' Then the silly cow says 'where do I sign?!' in the most pathetic wimpy voice..'

I mean, as if that would happen anyway! Just signing up on the doorstep coz a bunch of numpties say you can save money on your bills. Even if I DID open the door, I would tell them to jog on!

Thank you! Whenever I've seen that one I've said are the rest of the family soap Dodgers then? And what's wrong with boiling a kettle or two?

The "39 of 42 agreed" captions. Sometimes it's not always obvious what part of the narrative the caption is supposed to relate to, I'd prefer to see a fully written explanation of what their "survey" results were.

They are stupid! Only asking 88 people, or 49 people is a poxy survey and means nothing IMO.

Another vile advert I would like to mention is the one for CORSODYL... (When they show someone SPITTING into a sink, and there's blood in it!) FFS, why do we have to SEE this?! And why it always at bloody mealtimes?!

Have to give it to Corsodyl though, for the worst advertising slogan around.

Indeed, there's no mention of how many were asked. Perhaps they asked 5000 people but only 42 responded and of those 42, 38 stated an opinion.

And we also need to know the exact details of the criteria. Perhaps they were asked "If you washed your hair with this product, do you expect your hair to be cleaner than if you were you to wash it with crude oil?" and 38 of 42 agreed, rather than just "Was your hair cleaner when you washed it with this product".

Otherwise it's completely meaningless.

I know, it's on par with that awful advert with the two old guys in the pub playing darts..... "I'll give them call!"
One of them brilliantly described in an earlier incarnation of this thread (which I've just searched out and realised was over a year ago!) as "an extra smug Ken Barlow"

(Tried to quote that actual post but it wouldn't let me; can you only do a quote within a certain time period?)

With all surveys you have to ask who commissioned the survey, who carried out the research, how much input the client had into the questions that are asked and the way they are phrased; and perhaps most importantly, where the respondents "bribed" with free products to give positive reviews.

Not knowing any of these things, but being suspicious by nature, I'd treat such numbers with contempt.

And to a teenager.

A cold shower would do him good.

Re the 'hot water broken' one, I note the mother and daughter don't look like they just crawled out from under a heap of manure so I am suspecting this is one of those excuses after nicking all the hot water, 'oh it must be broken' 'maybe the thermostat needs adjusting' etc...

And those credit score ones, are you really planning on spending the rest of your life needing to borrow money all the time? Well done, that's a fabulous ambition and look how comfortable/carefree those people are on that sofa* or at the beach with their car** on their holiday***. Or is it because people have so many credit agreements they keep losing track?



* Bought on 0% finance, payments not due to start for six months, it will eventually be yours to keep at around the time it needs replacing.

** Lease only. You will not own this car. Ever.

*** Via one of those comparison sites which will eventually have everyone bust because paying a bit more for better service is a concept long since gone and this is 'race to the bottom' and not in a carry-on-film sort of way. And you paid for it with a credit card, obv. Towels £5 extra.

On the Jeremy Kyle foxy bingo advert breaks there's two woman at a spa with face masks on. The woman on the right is so out of time with the woman on the left its unreal that they didn't reshoot. Firstly when they take the cucumbers of their eyes and look at each other the woman on the right reacts so much later than the other. Also when they are swaying their arms left to right it seems the woman on the right has forgot how many sways she's meant to do as she starts to sway right until she realises the other woman has pushed forward. It bugs the hell out of me every time it's on.

"You can't get more Ribenary."

To me that's as ugly a pronunciation as when people say draw-ring for drawing. (Not that, admittedly," Ribena-ey would be any easier to say.)

Ha. If it didn't mean risking seeing even a second of Jeremy Kyle I'd seek that one out

Adverts plunging down the ladder of appropriate hygienic terms.

Corsodyl - ''For those who spit blood''
Vanish - opened with the line ''Poo stains?''
Pampers - ''You'll wonder where all the pee went...''
Canesten - ''bacterial vaginosis''
That men's advert for health/cancer - ''blood in your pee''

And do they air all these adverts at a time when people aren't likely to be sitting down for food, like their tea or a nice, big dinner? Of course not. Hell, they'll even air them all at that time one after the other...

TV attempts to portray realistic football fans are usually awful.

The Oykos ad demonstrates well how it is deemed perfectly acceptable for men's bodies to be objectified.

Where are the social justice warriors?
