Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
My favourite ad of all time has to be the old Woolworths Christmas ad from around 1981, 'Have a cracking Christmas at Woolworths, a cracker of a Christmas shopping spree...' ah the memories.
Worst? GO COMPARE...AAAGGGHHH!!!! |

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
Despise that Halifax ISA advert with the vanilla ice tune. Makes me hope that Halifax are bought out by some other bank just to stop them from making stupid and annoying adverts.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
Is anyone else really enchanted with the Italian girl in the pasta advert - the one where Tim Lovejoy cons her into cooking dinner for their date together?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2bGsl-xIcU I could listen to her speak Italian all day. |
Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
I can't stand that Plusnet radio ad where that idiot with the nasal voice tells us that they "can't be beat" - someone ought to tell him the correct word would be "beaten".

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
OK I'm guessing 'Beat' is what Yorkshire folk say instead of 'beaten'? Fine, if the ads were staying within Yorkshire. As it's going to the rest of the UK they'd be better off using words and expressions the rest of us know.
|
Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
That ad irritates me, as it implies that Yorkshiremen are inherently more trustworthy than anyone else. I've met a few, and you get the same mix of trustworthy and untrustworthy as anywhere else.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
Can't stand that First Direct Ad. Starts off in a classroom and kids are being noisy and that girl (Michelle Green) making that awful noise and then the teacher walks in and says "Michelle Green, you and I are going be having a long conversation."
Can't abide it at all, to the point that I just switch channels quickly when it comes on. |
Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
I only ever watch TV when I visit my mum's on a friday, I honestly don't know how her, or others, can stand the constant annoying adverts during the breaks
Not only that, but the adverts which seem to have been going for YEARS (Direct line, andrex etc spring to mind) I'm glad I don't watch TV :P |

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
worst advert
That horrible "Go To Meeting" advert that is always on sky news at half past six in the morning with horrible aussie bird who wants to "touch a customer" and won't stand still :mad::mad::mad: can't find a link best advert the new skoda fabia vrs advert http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aom2wOqZo-I brilliant :D:D:D |
Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
Sad I know but I do like the CBeebies advert with the small girl mixing cake batter. It never fails to make me smile when she adds the currants.
|
Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
I'm not sure if i should hate the latest Very.co.uk advert or love it. They're using one of my favourite songs (and a pretty obscure song too); "Bert's Apple Crumble" by the 60's mod band The Quik. I'm not really liking the song being used in such a way but it's a truly a piece of instrumental genius, so more opportunity to hear it is great.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
Rather like the new Skoda advert. Unlike the Julie Andrews "sweet" advert of old, this one's the exact opposite - and the special effects are pretty good too!
http://www.youtube.com/user/Official...87119&kw=skoda The one I don't like at the moment is the Birds Eye advert with the polar bear in the fridge - if I found it in my fridge - it would end up in the oven - gas mark 10! Si thee :Sprint: |

It's a classic IMO... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uu_CFjqWWl4 |

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
The "Go Compare" ad's which started out as mildly amusing have now milked what little appeal they started out with to the Nth degree, so much so that as soon as one comes on its a mad rush to hit the mute button.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
Those Halifax adverts with the choir. Usually I can't stand adverts for banks but this one really has the laxative effect on me (ie irritates the brown stuff out of me). It tries to be so warm, fuzzy and cuddly but makes me want to put a brick through their window :grind:
|
Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
Steady on Russ but yes its is a very irritating advert and and not the first by Halifax as l can remember several more irritating adverts by them.
|
Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
Every single Halifax advert makes me want to vomit and is a good enough reason never to bank with them or possibly even visit Halifax.:D
I fact I would ship everyone who ever appeared in an advert to Halifax Nova Scotia in just their uniform in the middle of winter. |
Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
The adverts that are really getting on my nerves at the moment are the Barclays onnes. That anoying guys voice really makes me want to scream. On top of that he talks a load of nonsense (i.e. "someone will have to clean that up,probably the dog" so bloody iritating! )

Whatever that advert is where people try to sing the final countdown and all of the heads pop up projected on the side of these skyscrapers. Why must these adverts be sung by people who are completely tone-deaf?
