    What about the wife gaslighting the husband about not getting petrol, when she is the one driving the car.

    Exactly, she is driving it is her responsibility. If she is incapable of seeing the warning light or hearing the beep maybe she should let him drive 🙄

    Is it possible the ad is meant to annoy the fk out of you and make you subliminally think about aldi everytime you see an old tractor, a car at the roadside with hazard lights, a twatty kid with glasses and a dicky bow, or a double chinned nincompoop talking with her mouth full? I wouldn't put it past the ad agency.

    Some of these ads lately like the Andrex office shart one, the dancing weirdo in the public toilet and the KFC satanic cult ones make me think these companies are actually trying to drive customers away. It's the only explanation that makes any sense!

    When the camera pans out, they have that little traffic cone thingy to indicate it's a car in need from the AA or whoever, so they have actually broken down. The thing that irks me is that its the driver who is responsible for ensuring the car has enough fuel. Thats why the fuel gauge is in the eyeline of the driver. So it annoys me when yer one blames the husband.

    Now you mention, you are right, why didn't they flag down the tractor? If you were told it was going to be 4 hours (if we're lucky), until the tow truck could get there, surely you would flag down a local and ask them to bring a jerrycan of fuel to you.

    As for the tractor, yeah my uncle died on one like that with no roll bar. In terms of safety features, it's really such a simple device, there's no excuse for not having one, and its unfathomable why they are not required on quad bikes. But that's a discussion for another thread.

    It's an example of an ad agency choosing to present something that's unacceptable in the real world as a means to create a mood or atmosphere, I.e, they've broken down in a place that resembles Ireland in the 70s. I have a similar problem with that instant coffee ad where yer wan pretends she's in a coffee shop and 'orders' a coffee from the boyfriend, with ' a splash of Oat milk'. You can't legally label or promote liquids derived from dissolved cereals and nuts as 'Milk'. It's illegal, yet here it is in an ad.

    I thought it was for us to express faux outrage at the media industry, an opportunity to be petty, judgmental and vindictive, but only against the fake population of lala advertising land. There's fun in that surely. Reminds me of the nit picking slagging that we'd engage in way back, be it at school, work, club or pub. No real victims, not like the social media cesspool I suppose, which today's Sky news reports has caused an epidemic of misogyny among 10+ year olds in the UK. That's not funny at all. Back to the ads and the slag heap!

    Yep and its really the family. I am happy for everyone else who probably shopped in Dunnes or SuperValu and are eating quality produced, maybe the even made their own cakes, and now have the satisfaction that their Sister and her Family didn't arrive… only to find the What Happened? girls in attendance

    ______

    In the end they were just greedy, they all knew one another and knew what to expect more money for no return, it was a secure cash flow, but in fairness they looked for what they wanted and fair dues to them for that, and wouldn't you be doing the same!

    Just one more thing .... when did they return that car

    With all the talk of Snickers and Mars, a chocolate themed Easter greeting seems appropriate 🐰 🐣

    I see that the Bulmers add has appeared again where to comply with PC horse excrement one of the four people involved is drinking water.

    Has the Guinness ad with the pints singing 'Ireland's call' been mentioned? For a company which has long been associated with quality ads, it's pretty dire.
