Yes that was it !!!
I remember the mission impossible music now.
Quality advert.
You gotta love squirrels.
I had 3 in my garden the other day. They are coool.

I hate the new Nike one with the manly woman dancing in front of a huge suspended speaker.... come to think of it, I hate most Nike ads.

...and I really hate the new Unlucky Fried Kitten adverts, where everyone's singing - they're crap!

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

completely agree, have you seen the girl with the huge gob, what the hell are they all about, I want to blow up KFC for this reason alone.....

Thank goodness for that - I was worried only it was only myself who was thinking her mouth is so wide, that bloke is gonna fall in it.

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

OK, OK, I was wrong.. :rolleyes:

I quite like the 3 ads on the radio (with Derek Griffith as "The Deal Man" and assorted small animals with slight attitudes and synthetic voices) and on TV (particularly the one with the cherry that sings)...


Who says advertising execs don't take drugs? :D

In terms of classic ads, who remembers the ones that were based on Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, where Griff Rhyss-Jones talked (thanks to clever editing and script writing) to various black and white movie stars?

Well, some of you may find your favourite current ads here.. http://www.davidreviews.com/index.asp

They have the Volkswagon golf one (which, IMO, is done brilliantly).

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

I agree Stu.
Where have I seen that bloke before ?
Whoops I just read the script :blush:

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Plenty of TV ads on this site, even my fav 1970's Smash ad :D

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Actually I think they pre-dated Dead Men....

Edit: Nope, having checked, DMDWP was actually produced in 1982, the ads come from 1986/7

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:
