Admit your ignorance - things you've only just realised/learned

Obviously you haven't seen the advert.

It'll surely win some international award at some advertising luvvie fest.
The golden turnip or something like

It must be pretty bad then.

Cuddly dog influences us to buy cuddly toilet paper

That's a good point: all these people claiming to be YouTube "Influencers" don't have much to crow about; they're basically achieved the same level as a puppy in a bog roll.

I haven't seen the latest advert - It sounds like I've missed something special

For the odd unicycle or three

A unicycle with a one-sided rim?

Not something I've just realised but after I'd bought my first MTB at the beginning of last year it did take a couple of months before I worked out why there was a picture of a teacup on the front fork.

I'm still trying to work it out?

Brand is irrelevant to me. I just opted for comfort and a nice colour!

It always amuses me that folk will go out and buy certain lets say 'trendy' brands of clothing, accessories etc..
Said brands invariably have their name prominently displayed somewhere on the item of clothing / accessory.
Thus the customer pays a lot of money for the brand and the brand gets lots of free advertising which the customer has paid for - !

Going back about 10 years a friend bought 'the latest trend' which was a polo top with the label on the outside. We often play harmless pranks on each other, so the next day I turned my T shirt inside out!

I've realised that I don't understand most TV adverts any more.

Especially, can anyone interpret or translate the Andrex advert?

Maybe it's something to do with getting us to spread their brand over social media? But I've no media/advertising training, so ... 🤷‍♂️

I have just been gripped by an uncontrollable desire to buy bog roll. What is happening to me?

Don't think too much about it, it'll send you round the bend.
