Another Hamlet ad, which is quite amusing. (Realplayer required)

I've just found out that the guy who does the dancing in that ad is David Elsewhere - go here and click on his performance from Kollaboration 2 in 2001 - you've prolly seen it before, he's the scary kid in the orange top

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?

One of the best recently has to be the Citroen dancing car one!

I found this great website that has a huge UK TV advert database that tells you the track and artist of the music used in tv ads.... how cool is that

http://www.soundsfamiliar.info

check it out

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?

Another one for my list... a brand of chewing gum, with a guy sat on a bench in a train station (I think) and looking a right tw*t, and then people come and sit next to him and do stoopid things too. Oh, and the music is Mmm Bop by Hanson

Dunno why but it does my head in.

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?

Oh yeah, the marmite one is well weird! Who'd want to eat marmite after seeing a big turd rolling slowly down the road?

Those new Pot Noodle ones. Something about 'getting the horn'. Really crap ads. Well done Kellogs!

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?

We dont seem to get those Peter Kay ads here in sunny Northern Ireland!! Pity because Im a great fan of his and could laugh at him all day!! Maybe it's because John Smith either isnt in the Irish market or it hasnt been successful!!

PS - Anyone see Peter Kay on RND 05 last night miming to Amarillo?? Pure side-splittin' comedy at it's best - pity they are releasing this as an enhanced single and not a DVD CD!!!!!

Sorry About that wee bit being off-topic, but I wanted to insert it as a secondary thought!!

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?

The Peter Kay 'tactless' DJ ads are brilliant. 'Annie, I'm not your Daddy'
I managed to get that clip downloaded via LimeWire. Hilarious

Hate the new Wanadoo Broadband ads, WTF has snogging in a muddy scrapyard to do with BB?

The eSure ads where Micheal Winner is the husband/wife ... off the meter cringeworthy!!!!
