There's a couple of them out there, seriously annoying, but I guess that's the aim, to get people talking, no such thing as bad publicity and all that ****e....

As someone said in the (Adverts that you despise thread) it's a good ad for contraception.

I'd seen the advert in question mentioned elsewhere and thought "aye, usual exaggerated reaction on social media". Looked it up on YouTube just now -

The hell were they thinking? It's jarring right from the time it starts!! :pac:

Little kid hysterically excited at highly anticipated new toy squeals loudly in delight.

I think I'll get over it.

As long as it's just on YouTube now, and that child is not allowed anywhere near an airplane (there is a thread on kids on airplanes...) I'ts fine.

They all seem to scream now anyway because no one will tell them to shut the F up anymore.

I've been through many a xmas morning and birthdays with my two and if they screamed hysterically like that I'd be very very worried.

Any kind of toddler is frightening and unnerving. :pac:

Haven't seen the ad though - Sky+ was invented for this reason.

That is not excitement. That is a demonic possession.
Call the priest, there is an exorcism to be performed.

It's horrible. I agree it doesn't sound like excitement at all and is indeed unnerving and very unpleasant to listen to.

Fortunately my parenting skills are above telling a child, mine or anyone else's, to shut the F up. Much easier, more effective ways of getting a child to calm down.

Drugging them is not one before you suggest it

I don't think it's a big deal or that it's annoying. A little kid is hysterically excited on tv for about 30 seconds. If it annoyed me, I'd mute it.

There you go, that about covers it.
