Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?

GOOD COP

I have got to say I'm loving the Diet Coke adverts with the Tortoise in them...
http://www.forthosewholovelife.co.uk/TCDownloads.html (you'll need QuickTime)

I was a fan of those dancing penguins for the Switch/Maestro
http://www.switch.co.uk/Mediacenter/ads.asp

The Anchor butter ads have been funny aswell (the current one with the cow up a tree and the Weebl & Bob 'style' one

Those adverts that the BBC Three made up during the breaks in Graham Norton when he was in America! There were some classics on that such as superstar tampons

Any Coco Pop adverts with the those little stories of how they escape crafty croc (there is an excellent game on the website where you have to slow crafty croc down as much as possible by setting boby traps http://www.cocopops.co.uk/frameset.asp and when you get to the map select Jungle Wilderness > Croc Catcher)

The Heineken adverts where they had Paul Daniels and various others singing the Capenters 'Close To You' and there more we bought the more likely we were to see them being attacked by lions

The old Safeway adverts where they had little childen with adult voice overs and their perceptions of being in the trolley whilst shopping

Any Walkers crisps ones with Gary Lineker

The ones for Dairylea with Pib & Pog - http://www.atomfilms.com/af/content/atom_344 (not the advert but a sketch with them in)

The Vauxhall Corsa ads that are based on Wacky races http://vauxhall.co.uk/promotions/cor...ieChoice.jhtml

BAD COP

I can't stand adverts that are advertising anything to do with mobile ringtones/wallpapers etc. especially the Carzy Frog (the man who invented that has made £10 million aparently)

Anything NTL advertises - there have been some real 'gems' in the past

Anything regarding compensation for injuries when the people involved are so obviously fake (2DTV did and excellent sketch about Perter Perkins (aka Spiderman) getting bitten by a radioactive spider and sueing)

The McDonalds ones where they are trying to shed their negative image by taking the pee of themselves - and the expression on the girls face when she is listen to people saying 'you can't bring food from outside in here'

Its been said but Elephant.co.uk - its so bad it needs another mention

Anything selling Car Credit

Most car adverts that go on and on with an annoying song and you think they are going to be advertising something really unsual then it turns out its a car

I can't think of anymore at the moment...
