Kell Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Quite liking the new Lambrini ads, catchy tune (hate the drink though!) Would that be the one with the excellent "The Snake" by Al Wilson?

Weave Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 There is an orangina advert I saw a few evenings ago and it is terrible (and very worrying) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Butter Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Would that be the one with the excellent "The Snake" by Al Wilson? Hear it ni full HERE. I LOVE that song! A Northern Soul classic there, Kell! Sadly, Al Wilson passed away about three months ago - a much underrated singer. I loved his Searching for the Dolphins and Show and Tell, too.

JudyB Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I like the mobile phone one where people draw the detailed map - I love the artwork. Most hated adverts are anything medical especially those that illustrate the problem eg. ear wax, warts, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Does anyone remember the CountryLife butter ad's from way back? There used to be men made from butter that would come to life from the tub and sing and dance like morris men?! Reading that back makes it sound crazy I know, but Im sure it was for real!!

Mia Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I remember that one, Boo! I can even remember the tune and some of the words (clears throat): "It's Countrylife, it's English too, From the cows to the dairy from the dairy onto you It's pure and fresh and creamy through and through So spread it on your toast in the m-o-r-n-ing!" Yes, okay, I'm sad and I know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Thank you Mia! I'm not going mad then?! Didn't they also sing "You'll never put a better bit of butter on your knife" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kell Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I always hated those adverts for "feminine products" which showed women wearing white jeans at a time when it's really not advisable, and doing things like jumping out of planes. Oh really? That's EXACTLY the time I feel most like jumping out of a plane - just not with a parachute on! I also deteste those Gaviscon adverts where people burst into song with "What a Feeling" - absolute rubbish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
