The voiceover then says: “Call it what you want, but when it stops working, make the right call. Do something about erectile dysfunction.”
The company, which offers treatment for the condition, has shared the adverts on its social channels.
As reported by Metro, the ad aired on Sky Sports on Tuesday (March 23).
One viewer said on Twitter: “I’m just minding my own business with the cricket on in the background, then it hits the Numan advert shouting ‘DONG’ at me on repeat. Why?”
My nine-year-old daughter sitting in the room and you think it’s sensible to have such an advert on about erectile dysfunction!?
A second branded the ad “invasive”, adding: “I’m trying to relax and my TV is shouting DONG at me.”
“[Bleeping] hell!” tweeted a third, adding: “I really need to make sure my kids aren’t watching when a Numan advert comes on!”
Another parent tweeted, with an angry emoji: “@SkySports inappropriate time for advertising Numan don’t you think!? My nine-year-old daughter sitting in the room and you think it’s sensible to have such an advert on about erectile dysfunction!?”
Entertainment Daily contacted Sky for comment.
