Adverts

Thanks @wildflower

Another one for you all
“Beanz Meanz Heinz”
for years they were the only beans I bought, looking back I guess subliminally because of the advert

We buy Essential Waitrose Baked Beans now. 4 tins for 1.10, and they are as nice as Heinz used to be.

Oh! I just got reminded of another thing that annoys me in a lot of adverts (the bloo toilet stuff advert reminded me): the awful dubbing/syncing. I fully understand recording audio separately. But the mouth movements are so off it’d honestly be better if they didn’t try to lip sync

I tend to avoid adverts but I was definitely influenceable as a child. I remember trying to convince my parents to buy blue ketchup AND green ketchup as a result… Even though I didn’t really like ketchup :joy: (anyone else remember this?! I feel like it didn’t last very long but it was such a craze at the time)

I assume that’s the advertising company using ads filmed in a different country and dubbing an English accent on.

My all time fave advert, such a work of art.

Any advert where teeth brushing exists or programme they can do one too, nobody wants to see that seeing it done repulses me :see_no_evil::hear_no_evil:

@DanceswithPenguins I actually wish they’d bring those Hovis ads back! So much better than the tosh we have these days!

@Alyssa646 On the subject of brushing teeth, what about the woman who says " I didn’t know OralB made a toothpaste" Based on the name what did she think they made? And the way she bites into that apple makes me laugh :joy:

I could write a book after spending the day watching adverts every 10-15 minitues. Must of been my karma after daring to diss them :hear_no_evil:

They literally don’t even have toothpaste in their mouths on toothpaste adverts! What’s that all about?

Yeah, that’s a good point. We get to watch people brushing bare back n looking like they’re getting lots of pleasure from it too :rofl:

No one looks like that brushing their teeth first thing in the morning :joy_cat: it’s like the difference between giving head in porn vs what it looks like in real life :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

That’s brilliant and true. I know they’re making out brushing teeths the most pleasurable thing on the planet n without toothpaste too :exploding_head:

I agree edited by mod grrrrrrrrr

It’s the vacuous grins on the toothpaste ads that irritate me!
I forget which advert it is, but there’s a couple waving off a workman in his van, they look a right pair of muppets with their vacuous smiles and exaggerated waving!

@WillC - the kind of smiles that make me think they are aliens/robots in disguise trying to infiltrate human society :laughing:
