What is wrong with Indian Ads

"2 minute ki movie 4 minute ka break"
-Indian Movie Channels

So i have been living in a hostel for last 5 months and recently i realized that the the thing i miss the most are watching Indian ads. So just to make sure I have the required patience to watch ads the next time I watch tv i have started watching Youtube ads without skipping them. Here are two ads i came across:

1. Varun Dhawan's Ponds men facewash ad:
The ad starts with the video showing how Varun Dhawan's mobile is low on charge after which Varun Dhawan very coolly points out that at the end of the day even our face loses it's charge. The good thing about the ad is that it targets the audience's soft spot. Yes their "smart phones". But the weird thing about the ad is that instead of Varun Dhawan rushing towards the charger to charge his phone he calmly decides to go for a face wash. Thus showing that Varun Dhawan isn't currently dating anyone and so doesn't have to worry about his lover texting and calling him.

2.Close Up Cupid games ads:
This ad shows various people taking up "close up"challenge and asking their crush's out for a date this valentines day. These are the kind of ads that make single people wanna stay single for the rest of their lives. This ad crosses the limits of chutiyapa. These ads are so bad that they should be the ones taken down from Youtube and not AIB Roast. These ads are so unrealistic that even Interstellar appears more realistic than the ads. So my advice to you guys is that use your reflexes and try and skip the ads after the five seconds and avoid getting traumatized for life.

Thank you.
