"Dad he`s dumped me".............

[ELVIS68]

Anyone else find this ad annoying where the dad leaves his works do and takes a taxi across town to the moaning daughter?

[wolf63]

It wouldn't even happen if she was about 14. Who thinks up all these cruddy adverts?

I remember, years ago, a male friend saying that he couldn't sleep and watched TV during the night. He said that the adverts were horrifying - there were ads for ladies hygiene products. He was no 'new man'.

Back to your post - it is farcical to think that a grown woman would phone her dad at work at expect him to drop everything and go running over to console her. What is that advert for any way?

It pees me off as well. If she was that close to her dad she would know he was at a works do that night! Spoilt brat always comes to mind. And I still can't think what the advert is for?

[MarkRae]

Seriously irritating. I switch over whenever this comes on...

Sorry, night night Susan. xxx

Dads (& Mums) are great! I had a seizure brought on by stress the night before my husband moved to a new job in a new town, where he was also looking for a place for us to live. They dropped everything and drove for 8 hours to come and look after me. Any parent would do anything for their kids (I hope). I think the guy in the ads workmates wouldn't think less of him for doing this for his daughter. BTW, we are now happily settled!

Wheaten-that's completely different, you were under a lot of stress and were ill, any parent would hurry to be with their child (even grown-up ones!)

The advert is just about a babyish woman who's been dumped for heaven's sake and rings her dad. Very annoying.

Awww, I think it's sweet.

And no, I can't remember what the ads for now either.

[mollykins]

isn't it for the phone company saying how you can rely on there services.

ps. my dad said 'I wouldn't bl00dy do that for you, you'd have to just get on with it.'

[jackthehat]

I quite like it.
I think it is supposed to illustrate that the mobile 'phone network is as reliable as your Dad...........which is a pretty clever marketing ploy.

[mollykins]

I'd be screwed if my phone was as reliable as my dad . . . . .

Give em a break!

My daughter wouldn't know if I was at an evening business function and might well call me if she was upset about something.

At least these Vodafone ads make more sense than the BT campaign which are an insult to the consumers' intelligence.

e.g. their fixed line broadband is quicker than a (presumably) mobile connection being used by an estate agent in a house he's showing. Duh!

e.g. if you have an important call like reassuring your young daughter you care about her you need to use a fixed line. Why? I suspect many important calls are made on mobiles.

If a creative team had presented either of these to me my response would have been "nice one guys, unfortunately it doesn't make sense - try thinking about it for more than 5 minutes"

Jermaine Defoe off and Emile Heskey on.

COME ON LETS HAVE IIIIT!

[bigfoot3000]

Lol, wrong thread!

[Greedyfly]

Yes! That poor bloke was busy dammit! Plus how old is she? Old enough to drive herself home seeing as she wasn't hysterical in tears etc...

Its for Vodaphone I think. There are a few rubbish annoying ads about right now!

[karenmac60]

At least we know why he dumped her - what guy would want to compete with that daddy/daughter relationship ;)

[sophie_1003]

I abolutely can't stand that advert! Also, all the adverts for beauty products that make claims about what they contain or do using scientific sounding words and don't explain what they mean, just expect you to think 'Oooh, pro-argin formula, must be good then!' (think that one's Colgate!)

[supersuezy24]

Good point Sophie lol
I cringe at that colgate ad!

[ELVIS68]

Jesus christ!..this post was about the moaning b!tch of a daughter, not the father and daughter relationship!

Well said karenmac..agree 100%

[tillyh345]

the advert that annoys me everytime it comes on is the bt one where the spoilt little brat of a daughter says Daddy doesnt talk to me anymore blah blah blah lucy bloody loo haha.....
