What are your best and worse TV ads?
 
After seeing a similar topic on other websites I thought we should have a go.


My favourite ad was the old "Hovis" bread ad, where the young boy is free wheeling down the cobbled street accompanied by that classic tune. Puts me in mind of Sunday nights as a kid, "by gum those were happy days":D

And my worst advert without a shadow of a doubt, is the one for "safestyle" double glazing, the one where the balding guy keeps shouting "buy one and get one free, I said BUY ONE AND GET ONE FREE":td:

Best - The blackcurrant Tango one
Worst - Cillit Bang (Any of them) or maybe any of the "Had an accident? Why not sue someone for something that wasn't their fault and make some parasitic lawyer happy and rich" :mad:

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 
Fave is that milk ad thats always on. With the cow and pirate dancing lol. I dunno why but I laugh everytime I hear the pirate scream. and the little guy at the end makes me laugh to "Lovely".

Worse has gotta be the bloody comparision website ad's All of them. And car insurance Ad's omg I h8 them all I beleive they were created in hell to torture us all.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 
The one I always remember is on old Carlsberg with an Aboriginal Australian throwing a boomerang. It ran over the whole evening, comes on throws boomerang, nothing. Eventually he downs said lager and hundereds of boomerangs return.

Most ad's though are terrible especially when they are blindingly obvious. The best ones are remembered for the ad not the product but you do remember the latter.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 
Agreed on the Sony Paint Ad plus the Sony Bouncy Balls one...

And of course the Tango spoof.. :D

punky 06-04-2008 21:22
Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 
Best: The Coca-Cola GTA-styled commercial.

Worst: Those Sensodyne Pronamel adverts where they constantly film 'dentists' from stupid angles and deliberately shake the camera to make it look more folksy, like a party political broadcast. And then the 'dentists' over-enunciate every word.

Cobbydaler 06-04-2008 21:31
Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 
Worst, the Gaviscon ads. :mad:

The very worst (Traffic policewoman) isn't there unfortunately...

Actually with you mentioning the Gaviscon ads Cobbydaler its just reminded me of that awful ad voiced by Griff Rhys Jones for "Actimel" the friendly bacteria, it generally comes on when your eating your tea, lovely:td:

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 
Any ad eventually becomes the worst if you see it enough times.

I still quite like the John West Bear ads possibly because they don't get shown very often.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 
The worst one for me has to be that one for toilet rolls with the toddler dressed as the MD - that really disturbs me!
Nearly as bad is the stupid Challenge Churchill quiz questions thing - it's only a puppet you know.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 
I remember a Wheetabix ad from a while ago. the Black Beauty music was playing, and there was a black horse running over fields and through a wood.

When it got back to the stables the camera panned away for a split second then returned to one person lifting a pantomime horse's head off and saying something like 'That's was a good run. Same time tomorrow?'

A cracking ad...

punky 08-04-2008 12:46
Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 
Another worst: The Nurofen advert where the stupid bird is a race engineer with a headache and her car is loosing. She takes a Nurofen straight away notices a big red turbo button, presses it and her car surges forward and wins.

10 year olds can do better. Is this really what we have come to?

Bit of a bump... Does any one remember the KitKat advert where the football manager is giving his teamtalk but has loads of translatators trying to talk over him translating to all the different languages to all the different players. I think it was Kitkat anyway. Noone else seems to remember it and i'm wondering if I dreamt it now. :erm:

Yep, about 3m 05s in here.

Some of the other ads in that break made me giggle as well... :D

My favourite ad at the moment is for Berocca

Hope I can move as well as the bald guy when I reach his age... :erm:

I bet it is. I reckon most advertising company's get their ideas from places like youtube etc... Time to copyright! :)

Edit: Come to think of it, I don't think you can copyright your vids on sites like YT can you?

This is my new favourite. I don't think it's been on UK television yet, as it only launched a few days ago. Nike seem to always mave great football adverts, and this is no exception. Great concept, great music, well shot and featuring my favourite team. I can easily watch it over and over again.

Pretty much every advert since has been pants. No point in posting the worst ones, just stick the telly on at any point, they are pure torture these days. CAN'T FIND CHEAP CAR INSURANCE? To be honest I either turn over or Mute/Turn the sound off, stopped watching them a long time ago, so maybe I have missed a gem, I doubt it.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 
The ad that makes me reach for the remote is the one for "double glazing", I think its safestyle windows where this really loud bloke runs around shouting, "buy one and get the other absolutely free, I say buy one get the other one free". To me its the most irritating ad on the telly.
On the other hand one of my all time favourites are the old Tango ads, where the big, bald orange guy appears from nowhere, grabs the guy and plants a big smacker of a kiss on him, great stuff, you know when you've been Tango'd.:)

What makes me laugh Punky is that whenever you see an ad for an airline, you invariably see happy people drinking champagne, relaxing on flat-bed seats and dressed immaculately. Its a pity they don't move the camera further down the plane, out of first and business class, and into economy, there they could film what its like for the majority of people;). Crammed in to a small seat, babies crying, plastic meals and the kids constantly saying, "are we nearly there yet dad", that's the vision of flying I'm more familiar with.:D

The 'Paula the cow' advert for Dr Oetker's new yoghurt range. It's one of the euro adverts, dubbed into the language of the country it's transmitted in.

The lip sync on this is truly dire...

Talking about cute, theres one on at the moment where they show these young babies having a fit of the giggles, I think its for Cow and Gate, it would melt the hardest heart.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
 
I've been trying to find the ad for Werthers Originals, the one with the father and son in the car. The kid reminds me of a young Peter Kay.

Quote:
The pair are shown chatting while driving to a school sports day. The son, Tom, tells his dad about the gifts, including a laptop, iPod and an Xbox, his friend Jake has been given by his father.

Tom's dad says he looks forward to meeting Jake's father at the school sports day. However, it turns out Jake's dad will not be there because he is "more of a virtual dad".

Tom then teasingly says: "Not like you, can't get rid of you." The advert ends with them sharing the special moment with, of course, a Werther's Original.

Advert for the new Channel 4 Stanley Kubrick season.

Easily one of the best adverts I have seen for a long time. Basically the advert is a recreation of the The Shining set, as seen from Kubrick's point-of-view.

What about the latest HOLBY CITY advert...anyone would think that it's an off-shoot of DIENASTY

Now, I've seen Holby City and it is nothing like that. Talk about false advertising. :erm:

Agreed. Great advert.

I also notice that there is also a chance of winning a Weekend Break (The prize consists of a 3 nights self catering (Friday – Monday) cottage accommodation for 2-4 people.)..or a loaf. :)

Not quite best or worst, but the new First Choice / Thomson holiday. They are making a big deal about joining together to advise and reassure travellers in this troubled times. They are actually owned by the same company :p:

Made me laff.

I'm truly starting to go beyond dislike for the Halifax ads...It's becoming an obsessive loathing...

Oh yes coggy, tell me about it...in our house its become a mad rush for the remote when the little guy with glasses comes on and begins singing, if thats the right word,:) about his talking fish.
Personally I believe people reach this level of loathing for a particular ad purely from the end...les..s times they screen it, the saying in our house is, "I wouldn't use Abbey if they paid me".:D

The true quantative measurement of how good an advert is, is how many complaints it has.

Adverts that are seriously peeing me off atm are the ones that have been dubbed (badly) over from the US. Seems to be loads.

[OK, so this is a radio ad, not a TV ad...]

Little bump due to a DAB advert on "Absolute Radio" (prev. Virgin) irritating me.

It goes on about how IIRC "e.g. you wouldn't still dial the operator to make a phone call" & makes other comparisons to technological progression & the 21st Century, says analogue radio is outdated & hard to tune, & tries to sell the virtues of DAB... "more stations", "easy tuning", and... "digital quality sound".

Erm..."digital quality sound"? What, using a standard designed in the 80s, which uses the rather outdated MP2 audio codec?

Give me FM!


Oh, & the other adverts are all bloody awful too...

The best imho is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVE96a7YfME

The worst are with Carol Voderperson telling us how to consolidate all out debts into one. The car adverts shown twice in every single ad break also boil my pi55.

I have a new most hated advert, taking the top spot from that awful "I want to do a poo at Paul's" advert with that stupid little kid.

AGGGHH!!!!!!!!!

It's horrendous. I'm sure they played it every single ad break today on Absolute Radio, and then tonight I heard it again, this time on TV during an ad break for The Gadget Show.

It's really, really, the most annoying advert I've heard. It sounds like the sort of crap that chav teens have blaring out of their mobile phone speakers while on the bus. Ugh.
