    That new Vodaphone ad with this family all laughing and making crazy faces in slow motion. Creepy and weird.

    Ad for coffee where she invites her friends round to see her husband bring her flowers because her kid drew a picture of her muscly tennis coach. :rolleyes:

    You're right.

    ~250 thumbs down vs ~50 up on youtube for that. Some moaning about feminists in the comments. I thought feminists would be against the ad as its inferring she is either a gold digger or strongly dependent on a man, with all this "he has the cash, the car, the condo, the career" -i.e. if the roles were reversed it would sound really odd.

    What the actual f?ck is this?

    Saw this on Friday night whilst watching with my fiancée whose mother is dying. Our jaws were on the floor when we saw what it was for. Shamefully exploitative.

    that advert must only be on RTE, Ive only caught the end of it twice, and was thinking wtf are they trying to sell, reverse the genders on that one with all the lads laughing as insecure mother tries to impress her husband, as pictures of hot gym coach plaster the fridge :D

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    Much like the Pepsi ad, it is possible to offend those you are trying to "big up" as well as those who dislike what they're trying to say.

    It rarely ends well.

    I guarantee these types of ad's will end up costing these companies customers out of spite.

    Isn't that an ad for chewing gum?

    There are couple in that series of ads.

    The one with the girl about to take a peno. The keeper's studied all your moves, but she's the one who's legs are trembling.

    Why? Because you have fresh breath in the extremely short term?

    And while I'm at it, should you really be encouraging kids to chew gum while playing an actual football match? Is that wise?

    Ugh. So, so bad.

    Top story on BBC news right now. My jaw was pretty much on the floor the first time I saw it, I just can't imagine the meeting where that idea where first signed off on. And the countless others where they'd have had the opportunity to reverse their original decision. Seriously... that's how you want to sell fast food to the public?

    Any charity advertisement. I hate guilt trips from my family, I don't need more from corporations.

    The Centra ad with the lyrics " if you're feeling shy, go some place and hide". No, you introverts aren't needed here, only shiny happy people.

    Hadn't seen that ad, thankfully.
    I'm speechless at the fact that someone thought that was a good idea.

    I would have left out the text "that confused.com ad with" in that sentence. His career projection is inexplicable.

    His career is based on being fat and laughing at nothing but laughter tends to produce laughter from other people in return so that explains his success.

    That advert with the "rapping" toddler, christ. I'm sure it's cute or whatever if you have kids, but it's so irritating I have to instantly change channel when it comes on. Still have no idea what it's even advertising.

    I object to Lidl saying I should identify with at least one of their real people ads. Far from it, for the first time I feel ashamed to admit I shop there.
