Was actually a joke, don't know what's going on round here recently, perhaps it's me :Yikes:

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Maybe. :D

I'll go and see if we have enough coal in the bath now. :D

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Best TV add was the Guiness white horses, worst was a caburys flake add with a woman underwater in a silky dress...looked like a squid releasing ink.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Current Zettle ad. Isn't that the weirdest looking bint or what? :erm:

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

See what I mean:

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

What is a "bint"?

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Wow wee i havent heard that in a long term. That was term that cane into fashion when i was at school but i cant remember what context it was used it. I am sure it was for the less intelligent females rather than the less attractive.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Yes it was used as a derogatory term for a not very bright female.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

This amuses me:



:D

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Loving this advert at the moment, I do not how to put the video on as I'm a bit of a :dunce: with this stuff I'm afraid, so if you want to see you will need to go via link.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

My favourite advert is the Pampers "I'm coming home", with premature babies with very small nappies.

Even though I have a tear in my eyes

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

that's a lovely ad, I have never seen

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Great ad,so lovely.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Somehow I become more and more tired of all threads...

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

That incredibly annoying advert for some show called "Sing": The one with the assemblage of mouths that need boarding up.

I don't know what it is but it sounds like another mind numbing talent show with some shouty presenter or other.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

This one with the two moronic bints:



And the others. Nationwide you're mad.:mad:

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Your timing is perfect because i am watching big bang on e4 while i have tea and they have just been on. Same clothes and set as above but it was a song about cooked breakfasts.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

So agree with you,a truly awful advert.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

You know, I really don't understand why you guys watch the adverts! Do you not have anything better to do in your evenings?

I haven't watched an advertisement on the telly in years.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Not exactly watching it for me just on in the background.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I watch Judge Judy or Big Bang while I have tea every night and the ads are completely unavoidable. You can't even change channel because changed everything a few years ago so that all channels go to ad break at the same time.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

If you watch live tv then you will have to see adverts.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Normally they just run round in the background. It's just this one that is just so irredeemably awful.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

The betting ads on the Sporting channels really irritate me. What the hell is being 'kwiffed' anyway? more likely you've just been ripped off . Must work I guess, as there are idiots out there...

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

You really must stop pontificating on what people should or not do OB as you lead your life the way you want to lead it and leave people to lead their lives they want to lead and if they like to watch adverts or watch anything else then that is their choice.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I quite like the footballer/ fish on a hook one with Chris kamara

He says whilst pontificating...

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Gambling is addictive and harmful and unnecessary. It should be treated the same as tobacco and not allowed to advertise including sponsorship. This would especially apply to ads for bingo.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

"When the fun stops, stop" :)

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

And when you thought the Nationwide had made a really nasty advert you get this one:



Kill. kill, kill.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

[QUOTE=heero_yuy;35940291]you get this oneQUOTE]
I haven't seen that before and I loved it. It made me laugh. I think the AA make great ads and I wish they would bring this one back. It had everyone singing when it came on TV:



Most ads are annoying but I would gladly see this every time there is an ad break instead of the PPI adverts. I wish I could embed an audio file to automatically play with this post. "Gladstone Brookes".

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I agree it is ruddy awful.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I love this one from the Halifax - The Wizard of Oz

The advert on at the moment that really makes me scream is the current Sky advert for their broadband (the one with them irritating cartoon characters. )

The current Sky advert for their broadband really irritates me. What an annoying advert it is!

The latest Sky advert for their broadband, it really irrstes me!

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Oh dear it must be bad telegramsam.

The trouble with a lot of these adverts nowadays are they are completely divorced from reality or are poorly made without any imagination at all.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

That must be the one featuring the Incredibles from Pixar.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I love it when they tie in the ads with the latest movie releases. Sky have done loads like that it must cost them a few $$$ because the characters always look completely real like Pixar/the studio have done all the animation themselves.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I bet they also use the adverts in other countries for other ISPs.

It's probably to do with who owns them all and deals struck.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Yes I believe that's the characters, very irritating for me.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I love the Incredibles.

I currently love the Halifax Ghostbusters advert, very well put together.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Calgon advert... foreign made and badly dubbed into English.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

What are "adverts" ?

I dont remember when I last saw one. :)

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Those videos that are slotted between TV shows that are trying to sell you products or services. Often utilising annoying jingles or characters. ;)

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Top Cash Back is my most hated add.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

He turned up in one of the hotels.com ads a while ago

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Really! Even if you only watch recorded programs or On Demand content you still get force fed adverts.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Wayfair advert with those strange bints jigging about.



Can't seem to find the original but this will give you the flavour.

Presumably this is some type of gym dancing that wimmen do.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Somewhat amused by the Quick Quid ad where the guy has broken down with a steaming motor.

Rescue man: "I can get you to a garage but the part you need isn't cheap"

Yep, it's called an engine, you need a new one. :D

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Yeah the boiler one gets me,the kids having to go to school 'stinking'!

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Those terrible adverts like the Amazon ones where they get some tone deaf voice-over artist to sing over a really poor cover version of a well known song.

Reminds me of the cheesy background music tapes they used to play in Kwik Save

Just stop it.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Agree those Amazon adverts are terrible.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Was around at a friends once and this rubbish came on. If I hadn't already this would have convinced me to cut the cord!

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Who makes this dreadful rubbish pip.:td:

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Someone obviously overpaid.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Except that you can fast forward through recorded programmes with ad breaks and you can pay a subscription rather than watch unskippable adverts on demand.

I find players like ITV Hub and the Channel 4 app to be virtually unwatchable due to those frustrating adverts, so I never use them.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

True but even fast forwarding through the ads you still watch them don't you?

I'm hating the latest Vodafone advert at the moment. It seems to be on during every advert break.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Pretty much every other advert on tv at the moment. There seems to be some school of thought which is under the impression that annoyance sells:

Plusnet (need I say more)

That crappy Ghostbusters themed ad for some debit card or other - Yes let's desecrate a movie which was pretty awful first time around

The Flash advert - oh what tune shall we set this advert to? how original

And the music in that Hyundai ad really, really grinds my gears. Lucky lucky me... lucky you when you try to sell that car in 5 years time and it's worth absolutely sod all

These days the TV goes on mute in our house when the ad breaks are on

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I really like that Halifax advert. Done pretty well and also Ghostbusters is a brilliant movie.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I miss Howard

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I'm really finding the Nationwide advert with the 'old Grannies' very irritating. Especially the one on the left side of the screen,the faces she pulls!

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I loved Ghostbusters too but it was a terrible movie in the great scheme of things ;) A bit like Toxic Avenger: pretty awful but how can you not like it?

... and how very dare Halifax cheapen it using annoying, shouty bloke with regional accent formula. Tsk.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

You know howard had an entourage, mate of mine was doing security at an event when he turned up with three or four lackeys in tow, who'd have thought those adverts paid so much!!

BEST: None
WORST: All

Unless I can find some in glorious analogue :) (On VHS from the 80s or earlier for example)

Those commercials are GOOD.... The garbage on now is just mindless gutter trash trying to extract as much $$$ as they can...


uugghh

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I know you're into analogue music but surely you're not trying to say analogue TV gives a better picture than a digital picture on a modern telly?

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Everyone predominantly moans about ads but this has just home up on my recommended list and you really should watch it when you have got 10 mins. If not watch the first one, then skip to 2:05 and then 9:50.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Stupid bloody Vax carpet cleaning ad: PANIC!!! Your carpet is full of bacteria and only product X will rescue you. FFS The world is full of bacteria, you're covered in bacteria and your body is full of bacteria.

Advert aimed squarely at paranoid women. :rolleyes:

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I think you will find all adverts ever come under that bracket as that is the role of advertisements and the marketing companies that come up with them.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I agree that 99.9% of ads are rubbish but there are a couple of special ones where a lot of thought goes into them.









The compare the meerkat adverts are a stroke of genius. I won't post all all of them because there are tonnes but you can have a look at a listing here if you want to watch them. The ones below are what started it all off and are many years old. If you haven't seen them watch them in the order I have posted:










I can always tell when an advert works on me (which is rare) because I actually want to go and buy something. When they annoy me though, like the gocompare adverts, I won't use them out of principle.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

New Halifax advert. Really like this.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

First time I've seen it but yeah it is pretty cool

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

One of my favourite old TV adverts is coming back.:D

The new AA advert.:D

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I saw this yesterday, i didnt know what it was to start off with. It couldnt have been an advert because it went on for so flipping long.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Does anyone know what the song is called that's used on the current Greater Anglia TV Ad?

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I absolutely hate any insurance company advert.... that Royal London advert where there is a tone deaf woman at the end singing the company's name!!!! , also hate the QuickQuid advert and the who can forget the insufferable arses in the nationwide building society advert... I call you at 3 in the morning so I can share sunrises with you!!!!!!!

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

The latest Nationwide adverts with the so called stand up comics,bloody awful and irritating! Stop it Nationwide please!

In my opinion all spam ads blow!!

Except if I get a VHS tape for example and its recorded from analogue cable and it has 70a,80s commercials,I do like watching those!!

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Just seen this for the first time and it put a smile on my face. Some adverts are good.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I hare the Deliveroo as where she pulls different take aways out of the neveending bag. Irritating bint.
'Heart Disease for you Dave, Bowel Cancer for you Brian, food poisoning for you Karen...' ;)

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

The thing which i hate about that ads is the plausability of it. Can they really deliver all that food from all those vendors fresh at the same time so it is ready to eat. The timing would have to be perfect.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

It's all crap, shouldn't think it makes much difference if its hot or cold.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I went to the cinema this afternoon to see Midway and saw this. I normally try and time it just right so I get to the cinema 10 minutes late so I miss the adverts but I am just in time for the trailers. I made a point of getting there on time today because I needed some lunch as well and I caught this. I loved it:

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

I thought when she went all the way in to the bag (except her lower legs and feet) showed it to be for comic effect, not reality...

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

It's just an advert, done for comedic effect. In reality, each food vendor would deliver their own food separately.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

good to know, I was genuinely under the impression that you could order a pizza from dominos, burger from burger king etc and something different for all the family and they would bring it all at the same time for you. I hope there is some dodgy small print somewhere explaining that otherwise I am going to ringing the ASA ;)

It's a crap irritating advert and the woman annoys me. Wasn't bothered about Deliveroo's claims, it's a service I never and will never use on account of their cyclists are psychotic maniacs !

Peleton crap ad.

That annoying M&S advert why are they using a fantastic tune by the original Fleetwood Mac (Albatross).

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 

Ryan Reynolds used the same woman in the ad for his Gin, and it takes the mickey out of the Peloton ad...
