Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
My fave ads were the ones for Talk Talk that ran during Big Brother 5!
TT bloke- "So who would you like to nominate to be your TT buddy?"
Woman- "My ex husband"
TT bloke- "Ah-do you miss him?"
Woman- "No, I just wanna ring the little toerag & tell him what I think of him & the cheap little tart he ran off with!"
TT Bloke (looks at camera)- "Nice".

Best one = stella advert with the slave/prison ship (that's a classic)
Worst one = elephant.co.uk

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
I hate all adverts!Especially the more they are shown.Especially if it's the same ad 5 years down the line like the one with the fecking blue phone.And the red phone.And the damned elephant.And the stupid lucky ones.I soooooooooooooo hate the interuptions to my viewing,because frankly I watch so little TV anyway that I hate it when the programme I'm currently watching gets interrupted for up to 5 minutes every 15 minutes.
I never buy any of the products on principle that if they have to annoy me so much I'm damned well NOT going to be nagged into buying it.
If anyone ever admits to me that they design,make,appear in any tv ad I'll poke their eyes out.
Good adverts indeed.There's no such thing.

Put it this way...would you rather have no adverts, or pay a second TV license?

Or the Renault Clio ads with Nicole and Papa.. OK, they were irritating, but the woman that played Nicole was nice...

Didn't you say "never underestimate the power of nagging" a couple of weeks ago?

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
I cant stand those insurance and loan adverts.
They look so fake and you just want to bash your TV !
They start... "If you've been hurt in a ccident in the past five years bla bla bla"..... Sooo annoying how they recreate these stupid accidents.
Most of them are at lunch. Ocean Finance is another contender for most annoying.

The license we pay for has nothing to do with adverts.It is so we may use or receive radio and tv images.Plus as I already PAY for DTV I fail to see why I have to pay extra for not having ads because the way I see it I'm paying twice IF you include the license and my subcription for DTV.However I'd gladly pay more NOT to watch the ads but I've never been offered the chance.Mind as the programmes have reached an all time low for watchability I'm wondering if it's worth watching anything on the box these days,advert free or not.
Whenever there is anything that might be remotely stimulating it always clashes with something else or the sport.

I've also said I'm nag proof because of being a teacher and having had two rugrats of my own.

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
I don't understand the whole Michael Winner thing, i've wanted to deck the talentless git for years without him being in some crappy adverts.
Best advert = Most of the Calsberg 'probably the best lager in the world'
Worst Advert = The QUOTE ME HAPPY ones.
