That creeps the hell out of me. The Metz judderman back in 2000 was creepy, but in a clever and imaginative way.

Most ads these days are either aspirational, emotional blackmail or disingenuous BS.

They are either trying to sell you a lifestyle, make you feel guilty or try and make you believe that they aren't a morally bankrupt bunch of ***** who wouldn't **** on you if you were on fire.

Adverts used to be a bit more humorous but I think they are too scared to offend now so they don't bother.

Yep, there's always plenty of sad ***** on Twitter desperate to be offended by something.

There seems to be loads of ads these days for products for women who either have heavy periods, dry fannies or **** themselves

Wait until you live with one that regularly Grand Slams (does all three).

True or not I think we can read between the lines here can't we.

Advertising is desperate and out of control at the moment. Maybe I've added to the original post but I believe it's along the same vane of thought

The only time I get exposed to adverts is watching sport, and I just hit mute and don't watch during the breaks.

Its OK I still see people that look tangoed (fake tan). I agree though that advert is just odd.

Thankfully I rarely see adverts these days thanks to watching all my media on the internet and using adblocker etc. I don't watch terrestrial TV.

Just watched that Tesco one on YouTube, wtf

 

[GlitterBalls]

I do like the Channel 4 ads though

As everything is working correctly. You watch TV for old people, you get adverts for old people.

Glad to say I don't watch them, online streaming ftw
