Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

the worst at the moment is the Mini advert with the naked couple and the fish :Yikes:

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Oops, just re-read this thread properly from the beginning and saw that I'd plagiarised Marina's pet hates, so here's another one of mine.....

It's the one where the lady buys a convenient pill and a calming cream at the chemist, and she's smiling all over when buying it - she's got thrush, ffs... it's hardly something to be proud of, is it? If I was her, then I'd be whispering under my breath what I needed and not broadcasting it across the whole pharmacy.

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

:rofl: Made my day that one has :rofl:

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

I agree that this isnt a great ad, but there is another version. The main one is where the man in the car reveals a large fish and slaps a naked pedestrian across the back with it. A second version that I caught on TV the other night showed the same run up, but when the man in the car was about to attack the pedestrian with the fish the man on foot spins round and attempts to hit the passenger - all three characters then express their amusement!! :dozey:

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

If there is one advert on telly that convinces me that I never want to buy the product, it's the stupid KFC thing. Yes it's memorable, no doubt some overpaid exec somewhere thought it was original, but what on earth were they on??? :disturbd:

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Help with the Lockets advert (which I dont like), in the background just a they take a locket a voice says something?
Dont know what but I am slightly deaf and its driving me nuts..
Sooo please HELP!

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

i dunno.... haven't been paying attention, but will watch out for it. I guess it's not 'A first class ticket to Nottingham, please' ;)

But, whilst thinking about Tunes and Lockets, I thought of another advert I hate and that would put me of buying their product.....

Anyone else hate the Vauxhall advert where those kids are talking like adults.... 'Morning, George', 'We had 7 in here last week', 'There's always one!'

There's something really annoying about those kids that makes me cringe each time I watch it. Kids in adverts must be cute in some way, and these two fall wide of the mark.

...although I love the advert where it's the other way round, and the adults are fighting over the sweeties and just being downright childish :D :D :D that's my sense of humour all over :)

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Here are a FEW Funny Adverts.
Found these on another Forum.. They are FUNNY

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/chris.evans37/tv/

Not for KIDS... These were on a TV Show like Tarent on TV. But Worlds Best Adverts. :D

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

I've got a steering wheel down my tousers which does the very same thing.

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

*Mimes playing drums..

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Anyone any idea what the other kid's name is? It's been driving me mad trying to remember. A posting here, or an e-mail would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Advertssssss....you wanna Bad Advertsssssssssss

I`ll give you BAD adverts!!

1. "Your the Boss" - Burger King
I`m the Boss am I?.....so if i go into my local BK and ask to see the rota, or demand a pay cut or fire one of the spotty teenage vagrants who work there they will let me will they? will they? i doubt it....Why? because I`m not really the boss after all...its just a crap marketing ploy.....*****

2. HP Sauce - Britains Official Sauce
Yeah right - official sauce my arse. Its only official if you a chav/thicko/working class moron who drives a van, likes footie, the sun newspaper and some mild racism. Talk about straddling the most obvious stereotypes and advertising the sort of people who make me embarrased to be English. Binge drinking tarts, ****ed up cropped haircut idiots at weddings who say 'leave it mate' and then have a ruck and ignorant van drivers...is that REALLY the best examples of Englishness they can find? Lazy *****.

3. I`m lovin it - McDonalds
I`m not loving it....**** adverts trying to promote a utopian paradise where everyones day revolves around a Maccie D's - women 'do' lunch there, kids get a helathy breakfast their...its COOL to 'hang' at McDonalds etc etc. The grim reality is a fast food chain populated by chavs, single parents and hoodlums. And god forbid - Your taking your life into your hands if you go in on a Saturday Night. Just try watching the film 'supersize me'.

I hate em all

Campino

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Whoa .... too much caffeine ??? :D

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

campino, calm down. I like all three of the products you mention (although I do find the ads irritating, but I am certainly none of the things you describe..

Anyway, back to the ads. Does anyone remember that Fiat one from the early 80s with the robots assembling the car in time to a classical tune (the Blue Danube IIRC)? That was rather good.

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

This one ?

http://www.adslogans.com/hof/hofspots/IE006611.wmv

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Your right - too much caffined properly. I agree though - i LIKE the products..its just the presumption of the advertising people that im stupid enough to fall for such arrant nonsense and the sheer laziness of their ideas (HP especially - why not use more positive examples if you MUST use stereotypes. Anyway, its arrogant of them to presume they are Britains official sauce - they never heard of Daddies or Heinz?)

I`ll take some valium in the meantime

Peace
out

Campino

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

That's the one... :D Thanks. Still looks rather cool, even if I do think the car itself is ugly..

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

I hope this hasnt been mentioned, but i did search the thread, has anyone seen the Volkswagen Golf advert with the Singing in the Rain theme and the guy breakdancing.

http://www.carpages.co.uk/volkswagen...f_01_02_05.jpg

Pure Class - the boys awesome on it - although i wonder if he's aided somehow in it.

EDIT: See it here (Apple Quicktime Required)

:nworthy:

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

One I hate:

The stupid insurance comany "admiral" with the crying adult on. I think it's EXTREMELY sad :erm:

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Does anyone remember the Not the Nine o'clock News version?

Fiat:

Designed by Computers

Built by Robots

<film clip of a car crashing violently>

Driven by Italians!

:D

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Now I've seen a ringtone ad even worse that the Chav Frog one (which I now have!) Anyone seen that chick thing singing? It's absolutely pathetic, makes me want to put my foot through the tv screen - no doubt it will be heard in chav shopping malls everywhere soon! :rolleyes: :sick:

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

I must be incredibly fortunate, I've seen neither!

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Norwich Union direct adverts are just so not funny, with the guy from The Royle Family. I also hate all window and sofa adverts, grrh.

The one which goes 'I may be small, I may be sweet, but baby... I know how to move my feet' ? That's worse than the frog one! Argggh!

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

I have a cool ad, if any mods think it is not appropriate, please delete the link and post please.

LOL :rofl: - I think we can allow that ;)

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Has anyone else seen the advert for a press-on towel, where there's a woman standing in the crowd for a mardi gras, and this bloke grabs her to dance with him?

It could be a completely uninteresting ad, but the bloke is wearing the most outrageous clothing, and he is without doubt the world's worst dancer ever. It's worth watching just to see how bad he does dance. :D :D :D

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Hello,

My vote for the worst adverts on TV has to be ALL perfume ads.
Also I hate the recent ads for ANTI FIT jeans.:mad:
What is the point of buying jeans that don't fit.:confused:

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

The Lombard Direct one with the cartoon telephone asking waking up the sleeping couple if they are losing sleep over their finances!
They're already asleep!

Those Anti-fit ads, it's the guys stupid way of talking. do people actually speak like that in real life.

Ocean finance:
'They look like people like me' --- Good god!!!
Also, makes every other loan company application system look like rocket science if these muppets can't work out how to fill in the damn form

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

The NHS advert, where the guy falls down the flight of stairs. Sends shivers down my spine.

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

My fave at the moment in the Muller advert, with the Nina Simone record (Aint got No) I Got Life. The record is so cheery, and the funny things you see people doing in the ad cheers me up for th day! :D

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

the new nokia advert is doing my nut in. those are the ugliest phones i have ever seen.

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

It does indeed send shivers spine-wards, but I think it's effective - it made me stop, pay attention, and think about their services ...which was their aim, I guess.

However.....

another one for the Bad List: Herbal Essence shampoo †“ the †˜organic experienceââ ¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢ campaign :mad: Get that advert off my telly NOW!

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

best ad - Tetra Vaal download here

funniest at the moment - Pepsi max with the monkey driving the cab "TOO DA AAAAAYPORT!!!" - top!!!! ;)

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Now the Pepsi ad is funny. Heh i even asked my mum wheather she would trust a chimp to drive her car, and her response............? ;) "No i wouldn't." :D

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Ad I currently find stupid & annoying:

The one for "Beef Tonight", with the panda.


Not only is it stupid & annoying, but...

Excuse me, but WTF is there a panda in this TV ad? And in the poster ads? Since when do pandas eat beef? Aren't they veggies? I don't recall ever reading about a panda going off & hunting cows or anything like that, so why associate a vegetarian bear with a "beef tonight" sauce? :confused:

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

I have to agree there not only with the points that you made but HE CANT EVEN SING!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

I like the Saab advert with the vapour trail comming off the back of the car. That ad works for some reason.

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

They've made that wrong, when you have an epilectic seizure or fit you dont just sudden;y fall down a flight of stairs and lay there then get up, you shake and then perhaps fall over.

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

If its the ad I think your talking about, I don't see the guy get up, I see him come round and he's in shock and wondering what just happened then you see a woman in the background running to his aid and then thats where the ad finishes.

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

I'm sure the NHS know what they are on about!! ;) I think in that ad, the man suffers whats called an 'atonic seizure' or 'drop seizure'. There are many types of epileptic seizures. You can find more info below for those interested...

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

In my case that ad makes me laugh every time :D

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Sharon bloody Osbourne in the new ASDA ads. Her annoying 'barbara windsor' style cackle and the end is grating.

[cackle]wow![/cackle]

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Yeah, why did they choose her? She's hardly gotta worry about how much she spends on her weekly shopping.
__________________

In fact, I bet she hasn't even done their family shopping in years!

...and it's hardly realistic, as I can't imagine Jack nor Kelly really being kept quiet watching a few videos or DVDs.

I reckon it'd be much funnier if they had filmed her walking through the aisles saying "f*** me, these potatoes are cheap... and f***ing hell, these Pot Noodles are on special offer", meanwhile Ozzy would be seen staggering down the wines & spirits aisle opening bottles of whiskey and sampling them.

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

I can't remember where I read it, but on a advertising trade site, I read that the agency contracted her to do the ad, then realised it was a bad idea. Trouble is, they were bound by the contract and Sharon held them to the terms..

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

And I can just picture them all wearing George clothes! ;)

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Panda Advert makes me laugh.

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Anyone seen that marmite advert with that huge sticky ball sucking people in ?
Puts me off marmite even more.

Yuck !!!

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

This annoyes me


The advert with the flying diesel engines across a landscape with the american whistleing (Hate something, change something, make something better *.Whistleing.*)
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

You didn't apply for the free cd then???? :)

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

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

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

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:

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

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:)

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

This link has some info about how the advert was made :tu:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4312217.stm

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

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.

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

That blob reminds me of my gallstones when they took them out. And I used to love Marmite.:Yikes:

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

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

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Peter Kay's John smith's adds. I bloody love them, they are just class, I can watch those time and time again!!!!!

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

especially the one where they are in the curry house, and he chats to his daughter about burglars....... Class.

ik

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

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:

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

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!!!!

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

There's an Esther Rantzen advert that pretends to be a programme, but is really just yet another accident compensation thing - jeez, that does my head in!

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

The best (old) : Ford did an advert that went on for about 4 mins was released as a song by Brian May (DRIVEN BY YOU)

I want to have a go at what that bloke is doing in the pepsi advert.

Rolling down the side of the office building. Looks like it could be fun to me.

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Ahh, that's cleared that up then... thanks :)

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

I would love to do that, I have done zorbing where you are put in a bit ball and rolled down a hill, but that looks far more fun!!!!!

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

I like that one too. Although I hate the 'monkey-laugh' of one of the other guys!

I HATE the aero ads with the women talking whilst eating. ugh! put me right off the product

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

I pretty much hate the guinness ads


All of them, I'd even go as far as saying its false advertising, they make it out to be nice, instead of a glass of black slop thats rank.

Another ad I hate is the telewest BB advert during living TV's most haunted, that blonde bint is so pathetic it makes me hurl abuse at the TV, I was hoping it would have been dropped for this new series but......alas, i was hurling abuse again at 9pm last Tuesday.

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?

Genius

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

does anyone know where the carling triple advert can be downloaded or viewed as it has got to be the best ad ever.

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

The new KFC ad's. some zinger salad crap.
People f**king singing and talking with their mouths full of food. Bloody horrendous!

When I was growing up, it was the height of bad manners to talk whilst eating.

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Those f**king Jamster ring tone adverts. :afire:

They are always on E4 and are always shown twice in the same break.

Oh look at me, I'm a bloody dragon, big deal...

I love the new Persil advert. :D

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Now that is funny

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

WOAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOO BODYFOR_HORRRRRM!!!!! BODYFORM FOR YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!

Argggghhhhhhhhhhhh!

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

That's the one! :)

Although that sounds like the sans vocals version with remade copy of the original song. I don't think this was the final version they used - they used the original song (for anyone wanting to know - it was "Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy" by the Tams) in the advert I saw on TV.

Another advert I hate at the moment (apart from the ringtone ones; WTF is this eraser one all about? :confused: ) has got to be the new Sainsbury's one with the animated till receipt. It really gets on my tits and makes me want to hurl something large and heavy in the direction of my TV set. Aaargh!!!

I don't know whether it's the fact that it talks in rhyme, or the cheesy soundtrack with builder chiselling away in the background and people sticking their thumbs up singing "Little Bill". Probably all three, I suspect. :disturbd: ;)
