That thumb-willy advert !

I have no words.

I suspect there may be a virus on the mirror's site, as my browser automatically shuts down when I try to view the advert.

From the static picture I can quite see why a child would think they were willies, not thumbs and fingers.

I thought the same as your grandson. It took me a while to realise what they were!

Some might give this a thumbs-up, I would imagine!

Haha I haven't seen that advert but yes my 9 yr old DGS would say the same, it was my first thought when I saw it on the link

Sorry the link doesn’t work so good but the advert shows “willies” ( well thumbs) jumping about ! My grandson ( like most 9 year old boys I suspect ) thinks it’s hysterical

I saw this ad on the tv and I admit I had to look twice at it !!!!

look just like thumbs to me. Never even suspected willies. They are obviously thumbs- they even have nails!
Mind you my DGS would probably find them funny too.

I thought willies too when I first saw the ad.

Yes I thought the same when I first saw it - probably it was meant to make us do a double take

Ha ha ! Funny. I hadn't seen the ad on tv but looking at the link goodness me they do like a bit like them.

From what I can remember

I didn't notice at first as I imagined finger puppets----until it appeared again then I just rolled my eyes at the innuendo's which seem to be irresistible these days. Pathetic.

I was horrified by all those dismembered thumbs. Whoever thought that was a good idea.........

Hadn't seen this before.

I can see how children would find this funny. It's just another daft ad to me. DH and I often wonder at the minds of the ad agency staff.

Yes Eglantine - amputated thumbs...why?!

seadragon asked:
Yes Eglantine - amputated thumbs...why?!

Answer: Because they look like willies of course - and are meant to look like willies.

Circumcised ones.

Sorry

PLEASE someone, send me a link which works! I'm dying to see thumb willies

Try this one bradfordlass you might have to watch the full Pokemon trailer first though?

They look like thumbs to me!

I tend to mentally switch off when ads come on so hadn’t noticed it. I shall now!

Not seen it myself but I did notice last night that the old foreign wedding one with Martin Freeman was being shown, wonder if all the remarks about the "thumbs" have changed their mind about showing it lol.

gillybob Thank you. What a laugh!

I am confirmed in my suspicions, the ad features thumb-willies and other sexual images without a doubt. Nothing is chance in advertising, not even thumbs. Remember the Cadbury's Flake ad which caused such a stir?

gillybob I didn't get Pokemon but an American, irritating ad for something called Grammerly, which is found on pretty much all YouTube clips watched here.
