That's quite a good ad, watched no sound though. It's inventive and different. Well seen it once, don't want to see it again. Now where is my Highland Spring water gone?

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I love this ad, great Cure track.

It's pronounced Gord on...

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

The Xbox One advert with that Yo! idiot answering the phone.

can't stand him or the advert.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I am sure the vast amount of money he has made from the advert and Breaking Bad will help him cope, somehow, with your disapproval....:D

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I agree that he's a prat, Hugh.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

The only thing I dislike about the Xbox One advert, is when he says "Xbox On". It then powers up my Xbox

I like the Nivea Men ad (the one with the bulldozer), when it smashes the car. The look on the guys face standing next to it, when it happens is priceless :D

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I agree it is rather annoying advert. Mind you what annoys me even more is adverts for games that show `not actual game footage`! Why show it then? For me it`s like an advert for Virgin tv showing sky Atlantic then saying `not actually on virgin`! Is it not boardering on false advertising?

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Ray Winstone's betting ads.

What next? Threatening people because their untreated flat roof is about to leak?

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I know. you get `not actual game footage` all the way through it. you're just being shown one of the videos in the game.
and a lot of people would go out and buy the game based on that.

that's why they do it. and just put `not actual game footage` to get away with it.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Any advert with background music that consists mainly of one or two people whistling drives me up the wall to put it mildly. It's just so cheap and annoying.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I don't like the guy who does the Talk Talk advert, he has a voice which makes his face slapable every time he opens his mouth imo

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

That BT advert for broadband with the `father and son` drives me up the wall everytime it comes on. It makes me want to scream!

Yeah agree that`s rather annoying.

worst.. ever! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZrfX...nLfW0KghEeajjw

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Indeed another woeful advert to hit our screens.

Mr Bean - Snickers advert :D

Its been around for over a year but still cracks me up everytime. Love it.

I love this one, not least because of the music :)

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Best advert ever is the VW Golf night driving one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U9I7QrpSkk
However the series of Sony Bravia ones "Paint" "Plasticine" "Foam" etc were brilliant

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

The best ad i like is with the little white dog and rabbit FRIENDS:

https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl...dvert+with+dog

The most naff is the Colgate advert [WHERE HAS THE TOOTHPASTE GONE TO] when they brush their teeth.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

still my favourite...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpB1yR9Sz9Y

watch in 1080p with good speakers up loud

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Can't find it on youtube but the advert for RAF technician. All very good until you see the gormless looking twit saluting at the end. If I was a pilot I'd run a mile if he was servicing my ride.:erm:

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

The latest Sky advert telling us we can rent the latest box office movies and get the dvd sent to us drives me up the wall. How smug the guy in the ad is,just want to slap his smug face! What tv show was/is he in by-the-way anyone?

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Am sure it's Idris Elba. From bbcs Luther and the movie Pacific Rim among others.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Do people still buy DVDs?

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

:Yes:

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Yes Luther is were I`ve seen him before. Never cared for him in that show to be honest. Thanks for that

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Depends, I now 3D Blu-Ray were possible, some box sets are only on DVD.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

The new Honda "The Other Side" for the Civic and Civic R ad is really well done

Press R during playback to switch seamlessly to the other side

Yes I've just bought Game of Thrones - Season 1-3 for my eldest son.

I really dislike the Iceland advert with Peter Andre.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I just wondered. I personally haven't bought a DVD for years because of Bluray. I just wondered is others still bought DVDs over Bluray still.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I quite like the Iceland adverts with Peter Andre but I can imagine they will get on my nerves if they show them to often.
I still buy dvd`s as I don`t have a blu-ray player just now.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Another funny beer advert:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TK_0N639g6Y

Took me ages to track it down.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

The Walkers mixups ad where Gary is in the hospital bed and the little girl hits the remote and the bed "eats" him. :D

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Ads? What ads? My mind goes blank when they're on. Or more blank than usual. ;)

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Bad, bad, bad. Current Lenor ad with the porky bint in a really bad fitting dress and a corny American dub. Not sure whether they're looking for laughs or trying to be serious.:erm:

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Hate that advert for insurance with Paul Whitehouse trying to do a Scottish accent.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Worst ads

Merkats,
118
the food one that sponsors some programs (This man must not be allowed to cook)
All bingo & gambling advert.


Favourite

The Honda one that puts only one word at a time and it gets faster yet you can still read the sentence.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Honda are generally very good with their adverts as l liked this one quite a while back.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Like the AA ad with the push-me-pull-you Rover. In case anybody thinks this is a bit of fakery it really does exist, is road legal and I saw it in the flesh at Pride of Longbridge.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Enjoying the Doritos roulette ad with the guy turning into a chicken.:D

I really like this one..it's to the point and it's staged well..

the worst ads are all of the bingo and poker and mobile gaming ads.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I usually hate the money supermarket ads but the big bad wolf one is superb.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Hate: Dyson advert citing that reliability is an aim. Has James actually visited his local dump / recycling site and seen the rows of his product, awaiting the crusher, that has packed up? Obviously not.

Still if you ship out your production to China what do you expect?

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

We've had two Dysons. One (a little green one with retractable cable) worked brilliantly for years, and we only got rid because it started sparking.

The second one (which we have now) blocks every time we use it, and despite their ads loses almost all suction regularly. This is despite it being cleaned out every time we use it. I suspect the only reason we haven't binned it and gone for another brand is that we spent nearly £300 on the damn thing.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Hate the money supermarket ad, won't visit that site on general principle now because of it

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

What this one TD ;)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cT3BnwoGI78

I love it for no other reason than the two actors remind me of a manager and supervisor I once had and the likeness is so uncanny I can't help but laugh every time I see it, bad I know but they were really horrible people to work under.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

l have to agree with TD as l absolutely detest that advert weenie.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

So does my hubby, Dad and eldest son den they just really dislike it.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Yes have to agree the advert really makes me want to throw up.

I'm loving the new Flash advert.

Indeed its terrible that's for sure.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Ads ?

Yes, I remember them vaguely, dont really see them any more.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Try watching programs on Virgin's On Demand service,they're littered with adverts!

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I don't see ads either.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Then you don't watch 'on demand' through virgin then because there's plenty on there.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Who's the guy in the Apple music ad? The one who's wearing the red Britney outfit.:dozey: Talk about snaky hips.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

The one with the guy in hot pants with the builders

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Favourite has to be the Woolworths Christmas ad circa 1981. Anything else since is just invasive rubbish.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Kevin Bacon, was big in the '80's with footloose and tremors

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Ah yes. Thank you TD. He's aged well hasn't he.

Not sure about the alien spaceship that gets run over by a camper van ad, as i can't work out why they are advertising a advertising company?

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

It's a bit Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy. A tragic miscalculation of size. As you say it's a bit weird.

Water charity adverts, why is a family dependent on a small child going miles to get water? What's wrong with the adults? Have they lost the ability to walk?

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I feel all bingo, gambling and casino adverts should be banned.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I'm thinking of starting my own charity: Make Heero Yuy a rich man. Please send your donation, however large, to: Make Heero Yuy a rich member, C/o Cableforum.co.uk, :D

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

The constant ads for charities; where has the money for these ads come from?

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Totally agree with you there. I`m guessing the amount given after an appeal far outweighs the cost of the adverts. They are very annoying though.

The meercats `frozen` advert was by far the best advert this Christmas for me.

A detestable advert l quite agree Tinky.:td:

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

The hot pants are really quite disgusting. They don't even fit properly. ;)

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

The worst ad for me lately is that damn meerkat ad using Let It Go from Frozen. If I hear the song one more time I will literally scream.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Not much you do like Mark is it.;)

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

It was good but not the best in my opinion.

---------- Post added at 15:39 ---------- Previous post was at 15:38 ----------

So disagree with you! The best advert for me in a long time.

Nasty evil little children:

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I so agree! They have to be the worst adverts of all time,so disgusting and offensive. I wouldn`t use them now out of protest!:mad:

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

The key to that is never let your children get their hands on the TV remote old bean.;)

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

the sad thing is that with the success of stuff like Compare the Meerkat, they are all struggling to come up with their own unique quirky characters in order to get people talk about them and remember them. The new adverts for the broadband genie and price guru (or whatever he is) are stupid.

I do however love this and think it is genius:

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

How are they disgusting or offensive?

Daft and annoying but I can't see how they are either of those things.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Fat blokes in very tight shorts and high heels,what`s NOT offensive about it!

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Quooka tap advert. I thought there was a legal requirement about the temperature of water dispensed at a tap. Imagine 100 degree scalding water cascading on your child...

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Don't put your children in the sink :shrug:

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I was thinking more the curious small child climbing up a stool and then exploring the countertop...
