Bold Advert

[gina32]

just watched the bold 2 in 1 advert and am surprised at the dialogue, young girl playing with her phone says, mum i need some money for my phone, mum says go and get me some wash detergent then, no please or thank you or kiss my backside, maybe im getting old but surely manners should be shown????

Interesting to see how much it riles folk, I rarely take much notice of Ads.

Scrivens, can you please tell me where in that ad the reported exchange occurs? I can't see or hear it on the version you've posted

Start of ad not shown on that clip....bear with me while I find it >>>>

[gingejbee]

What surprises me is that so many people on here actually watch/ take in the TV ads....as soon as they appear, we mute TV and do something useful!

[Mamyalynne]

Agreed and I certainly don't see them as a teaching aid for manners or morals.

[Bathsheba]

Ah well, in that case, it's perhaps as well I can't find it, + cba searching any longer, lol ;)

I can't find it anywhere online and I'm so keen to see it

[Bathsheba]

@ Meryl.....it sticks in my mind because the mother says to the daughter "that phone wastes so much money", and to me, the way she pronounces the word "wastes" is so odd, it took me a while to understand, lol ;)

Is it just me, or have Bold slightly changed the ad recently? I'm sure the mother used to say something like "maybe you're not so useless after all" at the end. I'm sure the version I saw on telly the other night is different? And the girl wasn't so sulky/obnoxious/ill mannered.

[Bathsheba]

@2sp......I think the "maybe you're not so useless after all" remark is made in a different Bold ad by a father to his son,.......(not that I watch much telly, like......, heheh) ;)

The bold ad posted above by scrivens is not as described in gina's question. Can someone post the correct ad?

[Mamyalynne]

A few of us have tried and failed to find the video online,maybe you can?

[vernonk]

Do you think Bold have removed their original ad due to complaints and now only let people see this version?

[Mamyalynne]

Well,it was still showing on TV as of yesterday so doubtful.

[Bathsheba]

Perhaps they got sick of folk asking why does the woman say "that phone WEARS so much money"......I've just remembered that's what it sounded like, lol :)

Manners rarely exist these days. It's a very sad reflection of the times. I have always said please and thank you and will always hold a door open for someone, help neighbours with shopping etc.
