Came here to rant about this. I watch 4OD a lot and this advert is on constant loop.

I just don't understand it at all, perhaps that's because I'm a man, but WTF do fanny pads have to do with "cracking under pressure" or being able to "Conquer the field"?

Listen you daft cow, you can "conquer the field" all you want but I've got no idea what you and your croydon facelift are actually banging on about... Do fanny pads miraculously improve your football skills? What "pressure" are you talking about - you're a (probably fake) football 'player'?

You're on the rag love, get over it. You're asking me if I think you're going to crack under pressure because your a woman and then prattle on about scanny pads - WTF? To be honest the answer to your question is actually Yes. I do think you're going to crack under pressure "because your a woman" because that's basically what you're implying - take away the fanny pad and you're royally buggered aren't you? (especially in those white shorts - that was a poor decision when you're on the rag wasn't it).

"Because I'm a woman, do you think I'm going to crack under pressure? Here, look at these fanny pads, look at them, that's right fanny pads, I'm not cracking under pressure am I? Because I'm a woman. Conquer the field. Fanny pads!"

It's the most bizarre advert ever
This whole post cracked me up, but that just topped it off

“But where does this Aldi beef come from?”

“Good old Scottish cows eating good old Scottish grass”

I’m sorry, but I think this obsession with local food has gone too far when we’re supposed to be amazed that they feed them local ****ing grass! What’s so great about Scottish grass anyway? It’s not like I was expecting them to helicopter in a load of that (presumably not as good, foreign grass). Grr, foreign grass!

Now I just need the supermarkets to do an advert explaining why so many of them seem to inject their steaks with water. It could go: "We only use the finest local spring water to plump out our steaks". Well that's me sold.

To highlight the difference when you've finished cooking it... especially me and my 'haven't improved since I was a student' cooking skills

The Always "crack under pressure" advert makes me think of this every time:

I don't mind that, its the people asking the questions. The latest some condescending middle class snob called Chloe, with oversized glasses and a face you could cheerily punch.

These life insurance companies asking if your family will be able to afford your funeral. It's not obligatory to have a funeral you know!

Georgie porter can't even act in her new face cream advert. How did she ever get a job?

Absolutely. My Dad didn't want one, and when my time comes, they can give my body to medical research (the NHS has kept me alive with my replacement aortic valve, so they can have me whether or not they want me )

But that advert with the old bloke going "Ooh! The famous Parky pen!!" He looks like he's ready for the funny farm!

It really makes you wonder how hundreds of generations of women managed before Always without cracking under pressure.

Considering that she's a goalkeeper and shown throwing herself on the ground I'm amazed that the unfortunately chosen white shorts are still pristine white, without a speck of mud or the merest hint of a grass stain. Wonderful what those Always can do

I hate all of them, but at the moment it has to be the one about the paralympics it's far too long over 3mins, also i can imagine the DWP rubbing their mitts together whilst watching that, It doesn't represent the majority of disabled people
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IocLkk3aYlk

A close second would be those begging ads for aid donations Syria, When the British tax payer has already donated via the uk government donating billions in aid already
not to mention the costs associated with supporting all those who are here in the uk

think you're missing the point, the idea is to show what disabled people CAN do -- and speaking as a disabled person we can cope with a lot more than people give us credit for - and DO

Agreed. I always say they can take any bits of me that are of any use to anyone, and the rest can go out with the bins!

There’s an awful ad with a really tryhard Morgan Freeman style 'inspirational' speech, where the guy rambles on about how he’s met loads of people and how we’re really all the same or different, or who the **** even knows what the point is? Anyway, for some reason this is related to the iphone. The message must be: Buy an iPhone, so you can use it to write hippy drippy nonsense like this on twitter and facebook.

I'm reminded of a key funeral in Six Feet Under (I won't say who, for anyone who hasn't yet "binged" on that boxset) but while a grave was dug, they had just asked to be buried with a sheet wrapped round them. No coffin, so no ridiculous expense for something that people will see once before it's left to rot in the ground or set on fire.

Yeah, she's awful in that ad. Why do these companies think that getting an actor or celeb to appear in their ad's is going to help ? It actually puts me off, especially when they try and over sell it ( which is all of the time )

Can't stand that ad either! And yes she is awful.

Hate the Paralympics ad too, and ANY awful begging ad.
It really makes you wonder how hundreds of generations of women managed before Always without cracking under pressure.
Awful ad. No, not all men assume that all women will crack under pressure. So patronising.

I don't mind that, its the people asking the questions. The latest some condescending middle class snob called Chloe, with oversized glasses and a face you could cheerily punch.
I haven't seen that one.

There’s an awful ad with a really try-hard Morgan Freeman style 'inspirational' speech, where the guy rambles on about how he’s met loads of people and how we’re really all the same or different, or who the **** even knows what the point is?

I hate that advert with a flaming passion.

And I'm not being funny but I noticed that apart from the first person in this ad; every last person in in (maybe 24-25 in all,) is non-white. Asian, Polynesian, black, middle eastern, mixed race, etc etc.. What's that about?
