Perculiar ad

I absolutely hate that advert. It is ridiculous. Would not make me buy anything at all. I love the dog dating advert where the poodle girlfriend turns up and then you see lots of puppies heading for the back door.

I LOVE that ad. I replay it when it comes on - mind you I love the music on it too. I'm sure the bum must be padded but he has great legs. It's just a bit of fun. I don't see ads very often as we record commercial & whiz through the ads but if I see that one whizzing past I stop & watch it.

The money one is a gross advert - but fascinatingly gross.
The ad that annoys me most is the smug and contemptuous tone of the man who advertises for PPI help. It's that implied assumption of how stupid we all are.

Hate that ad, wouldn't buy anything from that company, ever.

Strutters & Builders ad --- it gives me the creeps. Can't explain it, I know it's meant to be fun but it makes me feel very uncomfortable.

Lupin fully agree. That's my most hated ad. I can pick up the iPad in ad breaks and leave them on, blocking them out, but somehow thst one breaks through and I have to silence his patronising voice. Also dislike the Audrey Hepburn lookalike ad for chocolate as I've seen it too often.

Yes the Audrey Hepburn one is boring now . Think however much we dislike the Strutters & Builders
( great title ) we are all talking about it. The dog dating one is great that whole series of ads has been good.

I was just talking to my DH last night about that advert. We both dislike it, me most intensely.

There is something repulsive about the guy in short and high heels. It seems wrong and dirty somehow in some hard to define way.

I think the twirking chap is funny but I had no clue until I read it here what it is advertising. My real hates are all the patronising, often misleading and insulting ads aimed at retirees. Not fond of the operatic singer with the moustache either but I'm not keen on facial hair so perhaps that is why.

The lady that falls of a chair with a dab of yogurt is Nicole Scherzinger off X factor and she's advertising muller yogurt. The lead dancer of the strutters is a American and those Buns!! are implants.

My goodness - it's a parody and you're taking it so seriously! It's mildly funny, meant to be stupidly outrageous, and you've got an off switch if it really offends you though I can't for the life of me see why it should. Can anyone say why it offends them so much?

It doesn't offend me Swimhome, but like several others on here somehow I find it creepy. I accept it's not aimed at us but saying 'you have an off switch when it's an advert in the middle of something you are watching is faintly ridiculous.
Actually it is interesting to know what it is that disturbs me - it's not the builder part, I've always found that quite sweet, but the main strutter seems agressive and threatening.

I agree with many of you who find the advert creepy & disturbing - don't use comparison sites anyway so no advert is going to induce me to use them.

I either turn to laptop & read emails or go on Facebook, go into kitchen & make a brew, have a comfort break or some little job that means I don't miss my programme.

I find most adverts don't convey the product well - few more hates "one sheet", Cilit Bang, go compare, car adverts, insurance adverts, PPI Claims etc in fact there are few adverts I actually like & they usually are for cats/dogs - Sheba, Dreamies etc

Well whichever way you look at hit,MS have struck gold by making this advert. So many people are talking about it.

Well it would do if I actually remembered what it was advertising!

Glad i'm not the only one that finds that man scary, he is just so creepy !

Yes I hate it too really annoys me.

I think a lot of adverts are written by people who are on 'something'.

Really?

I absolutely love the advert as it makes me laugh, but my Partner hates it.
My Sister told me a while ago that the Guy who is the main character in the hot pants and high heels, has had implants in his buttocks. She said that he was interviewed on a TV programme whereby he told the interviewer about it.
Obviously when this Man asks "Does my bum look big in this?", he will be over the moon with a resounding YES !!!!!!!!!

The programmes we like on commercial TV are recorded on our Virgin box....
So we can whizz through the adverts !
I recommend it folks !

It's a cringey ad but I wish I had legs like The Strutters !

It is (to me at least) one of those adverts that are memorable, but you can't remember what they are advertising. Personally I loathe it.

I dislike this ad so much that as soon as it comes on the TV I switch channels. But, yes I do think it's an 'Abe' thing. My daughter thinks it's hilarious.

DH and I don't like ads, so if we watch a programme live, we mute the picture and try to guess what they are advertising. Try it, it is so much fun...
