It's Time to Talk - TV ad

[W3LLcoOL]

You'd have to be mental to not find this funny

[magscargill]

To mrruffledfeathers - I suffer from mental health and suicide issues and most of the time all I want to do is disappear from the world into a pile of dust, so this example is actually pretty spot on and no wtf about it.

[MrRuffledFeathers]

why did he disappear into a pile of dust? wat the fuck

[SuperNicky25]

That man's a right psycho!.

[TheKkandcc]

@SuperNicky25 NO, its called stereotyping! Those were all ways people think that someone with a mental illness will act! If someone has a mental illness people consider them pshyco! Thats a stereotype, but people with mental health issues (Like me) ARNT ALL LOONS!!

[Mrscientificmethod]

Am I the only one to find this advert disconcerting? It actually reinforces the stigma of all those crazy nutters out there. It should be banned.

[00Blah0Blah00]

@Mrscientificmethod It is brilliant! It only shows how idiots out there think of people with mental illness. We are not suddenly going to go bonkers if you talk to us. We actually appreciate it when people are decent enough to ask how we are doing.

[2212chop]

LMFAO!!! IVE GOT MENTAL ILLNESS AND THIS IS BANG ON!!

[bodzington23]

That is so fucking funny LOL

[JannaLeise]

[whatsthebigmistry]

brilliant



[MrMonkeytrumpets]

Absolutely brilliant. Having suffered with a mental health problem this is pitched just right, especially at the end when he says he has his good days and bad days.

[bl0xta]

@MrMonkeytrumpets I know what you mean, I have been off work before due to stress levels affecting my mental health as well and this advert hits the nail on the head, the thing is it's very hard to describe what it's like to go though something like this unless you have experienced it....that being said in this day and age it is becoming far more common and you don't often realise until someone else points it out to you

[Spicymarshmallow]

Ooh treats!

[retry4z]

BTW, I was not being sarcastic. I am serious, humor is the way to go to beat stigma.

[retry4z]

This is awesome! The way to fight stigma of mental illness is with humor. Now I know!

[TheCaliCoco]

so... how you feeling? :)

[Skunkybiffta]

Meh, told everyone at college I have bi polar type II - thank fuck for considerate peeps in this world =] 

[93catriona]

best one is when he crawl into the printer for dinner.

[ADEMruinedmylife909]

@93catriona I love the musician idea. This really is a good ad! :)

[teamjacobxful]

I know this is serious but it's soo funny!!! :L

[lukelikesbeer]

FUNNY AS FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[disabledcat]

keep on pressing 1:10 for a demented seal!

[Arsenalgunner27]

@disabledcat OMG!!! I can barely type, ITS THAT FUNNY Xd!!!!

[peternobhead1990]

Along with the talk to frank pablo drug mule advert this is one of my favorite adverts of all time.

Think they did a great job :D

[katylou4]

We discussed this advert at our MIND today with mixed opinions. But watching it here on You Tube. It is more understandable than just the TV advert.

Glad it's got people talking about Mental Health issues. "Hang on my shoe's ringing"

It was only my Solemate calling me.

It's a fab advert. But I don't think the slot during Corronation Street was a good slot for it.

I do hope anyone watching this who needs help will seek it. At MIND there are people who will listen & not judge.

[whobudddy2000]

excellent ad ! very well done.

[Cr1msonAv3ng3r]

This is an excellent ad, but I must admit to laughing like an idiot and then feeling very bad the first time I saw it - due to flicking TV channels and missing the intro....

[benpaulsenuk]

this advert is absolutely nuts
