Another Hamlet ad, which is quite amusing. (Realplayer required)

I've just found out that the guy who does the dancing in that ad is David Elsewhere - go here and click on his performance from Kollaboration 2 in 2001 - you've prolly seen it before, he's the scary kid in the orange top :eek:

One of the best recently has to be the Citroen dancing car one!

I found this great website that has a huge UK TV advert database that tells you the track and artist of the music used in tv ads.... how cool is that

http://www.soundsfamiliar.info

check it out:)

Another one for my list... a brand of chewing gum, with a guy sat on a bench in a train station (I think) and looking a right tw*t, and then people come and sit next to him and do stoopid things too. Oh, and the music is Mmm Bop by Hanson :eek:

Dunno why but it does my head in.

Oh yeah, the marmite one is well weird! Who'd want to eat marmite after seeing a big turd rolling slowly down the road?

Those new Pot Noodle ones. Something about 'getting the horn'. Really crap ads. Well done Kellogs! :rolleyes:

We dont seem to get those Peter Kay ads here in sunny Northern Ireland!! Pity because Im a great fan of his and could laugh at him all day!! Maybe it's because John Smith either isnt in the Irish market or it hasnt been successful!!

PS - Anyone see Peter Kay on RND 05 last night miming to Amarillo?? Pure side-splittin' comedy at it's best - pity they are releasing this as an enhanced single and not a DVD CD!!!!! :p:

Sorry About that wee bit being off-topic, but I wanted to insert it as a secondary thought!! :disturbd:

The Peter Kay 'tactless' DJ ads are brilliant. 'Annie, I'm not your Daddy'
I managed to get that clip downloaded via LimeWire. Hilarious

Hate the new Wanadoo Broadband ads, WTF has snogging in a muddy scrapyard to do with BB?

The eSure ads where Micheal Winner is the husband/wife ... off the meter cringeworthy!!!!
