Ocado Adverts - Tacky?

Lambs and meringues and other 'icons' ok - but really to Ocado have to be tacky and show cocktail sausages with an artist's male model beig drawn.

Puts me off my raspberries - and even using them, not that they have any service in Cornwall.

Good grief!

I can only assume that you're not a fan of the Carry On movies, DTC!

It certainly made me laugh!

[Lie-in King]

I thought it was funny :-)

I'm sure if it had been a large-breasted woman in the life class then melons would have been acceptable in the ad ...

cocktail sausages and melons? I have to pun this and say it would be 'poor taste'. Okay past the watershed but there are youngsters watching at earlier times of the day and I don't think such 'innuendo' is necessary.

Call Da police, somebody's sanitised DTCwordfan!

I never noticed that last bit. I got stuck on waffles.

I think it's funny.

Sorry, that was irony. To be clear, I think there would be a furore. Outdated stereotypes of the 1970s or somesuch. Perhaps even worse, but even more analogous to the chipolata, would be seeing a flat-chested woman and think of buying some Ocado eggs for frying. Really funny, except for those people why don't think it's funny at all for some reason ...

It's about self esteem, as this better ad shows:

I think the people are different, for example some have a good sense of humour, whilst others seem to be more sensitive and get upset more easily.

Cocktail sausages, melons, fried eggs, I'm suspecting they can deliver them all.

Youngsters too young to see it wouldn't see inuendo anyway. That's in the mind of the viewer.
