Best and worst adverts????

Gayle · 10-02-2006, 21:12

We watch enough TV so which adverts do we love and which do we love to hate?

I know it's a bit daft but I love the Renault Megane advert with Shakin' the ass and I hate the ones for Fairy liquid with Ainsley Harriot.

Which ones make you want to switch over?

Love the New Civic ad and hate the Currys ads, I think it's Currys, anyhow the ones with that annoying designer woman in them.

Hate that advert with the chorus doing the car noises ...... it goes on for ages!

Love the Walls adverts with the dog, especially the one were the dogs giving the bloke a towel snap!

Those walls adverts are ace

I also like the dancing citroen C4 advert........

Tinkerbelle · 10-02-2006, 21:38

Yeah C4 advert is good

I like the Wicked adverts too

Must be my sense of humour!

For me its the Powergen adverts. Its bad enough the Met office going on about weather without PGs tuppence worth.

Citrons dancing car transformer is tops in my book.

Best- anything by Guiness, especially the White Horses/Surfing one, a mini masterpiece.

Worst- anything in the afternoon on Channel 4, bloody baths with doors in, and life assurance where 'no salesman will call', with the added bonus of a digital clock.

Only one i know out of that lot is the transformer one.

Confused Dot Flaming Com

Grates on me somewhat!!

Worst: Mint card - how bad are those?

Best: Probably the car advert with the most amazing, thumping, bassy track 'Feed Your Mind"

I have tried without success to get that track. I just can't remember which car it was though.

I hate all adverts. That's why I only ever watch the BBC. Definately worth paying the license fee for no adverts.

I am usually a flicker when the ads come on but you can't do it at other folk's houses.

Best ad for me was the HONDA components moving along to to music of Rapper's Delight.

Worst...the one that goes Hmmm Dannone is it actimel? it really gets under my skin.

Aren't you supposed to drink it? I don't think the friendly bacteria will work properly if you rub it on your skin.

My favourite of all time has got to be the Smash ads - either those or the PG Tips monkeys. Current one is probably 'Sheila's Wheels' - brilliantly corny

Mentioned this before but the Guinness advert with 'Rhythm of Life' song .. evolution in 30 seconds, from local pub to amoeba .. never tire of it.

Others as above, love C4, hate Mint card ... that guy with the nose sneezing everywhere .. yuk. For some reason hate the RAC advert, guy with flying boots ... bores me.

Century FM. Father has his child in carrier and he is singing along to Century .. the lip-curling look of disapproval from him to the father's singing is wonderful, makes me laugh everytime.

Apart from that hate all the sofa adverts, but use these breaks to rush about putting pots in the sink, getting stuff ready for the morning, etc.
