Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?

A couple of my favourites ads are the one with the dog and the case next to each other and the other one that makes me chuckle is the old Smash ad with the aliens in it.

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"
I have to AGREE with you on this one, the man is SO annoying especially when its on late at night... Grr!! :P

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?

Worst adverts for me are the Sainsbury ones with Jamie Oliver; could happily strangle the jumped up never come down little squirt! My favourite one at the moment is the Fosters (budgie smuglers).

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?

My favourite ad has to be the impossible dream by Honda and the irritating ones for me are the Go Compare adverts and these nasty claims companies.
