Adverts you like/dislike?

[Mia]

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"

 

That was their slogan, I think!

 

I hate those LV/Liverpool Victoria ads, because I really hate the song that goes with it, that goes "Dum diddy dum diddy dwee dwee dum de dum de dum". I especially can't stand the bit where it goes "dwee dwee". I don't know why, but it sets my teeth on edge.

 

I also saw a rubbish one tonight, I think it was for a Nissan car (Qashqai?? or something) where buildings were coming to life and bashing it and other cars around. The tagline was something about it having seven seats and more space to play with the city. Play with the city? It looked more like the city was beating the **** out of it. Weird.

Or that one with the four really annoying women sitting discussing how they are bunged up and can't go to the loo properly!!! And oh I just happen to have the medication for it in my bag.....pu leese

 

That sure is gross

Saw a new advert I liked tonight, but I cant remember what it was advertising. It involved a soft toy peeping from behind a cushion and 2 giraffes coming to life and walking along someone's sideboard. I quite liked it.

Wouldn't want to try saying that 10 times quickly!

[Weave]

The advert with people showed as skin, that creeps me out.

 

I love the cravendale adverts, they are great!

 

[Kell]

I DETEST those Cravendale adverts - I have to change the channel whenever they come on as they drive me so crazy!

[Stephanie2008]

I hate the subway adverts, particularly the one at the moment which goes "too hot, too spicy, HOT HOT". It makes me switch over because I cringe everytime.

 

I like the andrex adverts, the puppy is so cute.

[Roadrunner]

No particular likes or dislikes, only that the channel always seems to want to broadcast the advert louder than the programme (I understand because it means you can still hear it in the kitchen when you leave to make a cup of tea)

[Tiger]

I can't stand the M&S adverts, trying to make your mouth water and that stupid "this is not just food, this is M&S food"....

[Kate]

I dislike all adverts, especially in the middle of films get rid of them all I say

Absolutely infuriating and reminds me that an email complaint must be drafed soon

Isn't it maddening?! It drives me nuts that every time there's a commercial break we have to dive for the TV remote or be deafened!

I don't mind adverts in between programmes, but in the middle of them drives me nuts. Espeically the latest trend (which I witnessed all through Desperate Housewives) of besically having the, "Previously on..." followed by the title sequence, then immediately follwed by an advert break. What's the point? The programme has been on a total of 3 minutes!!!

 

I also can't stand it when the news gets shown half-way trhough a film. Programmers know how long the films last, so why not schedule them to start earlier and finish in time for the news, start later and have them on after the news, or - and here's a novel idea - just save the news for after the film has finished anyway? It's got to the point now that if I see a film has the news in the middle of it, I refuse to watch it, even though it tends to happen on the channels that don't have adverts to break things up...

I hate that too, they did the same thing with ER, you are all ready for the story and then there is a break!

[Kenny]

Bingo adverts and my mum agrees with me on this one.

[supergran71]

One I like at the moment, is the one where a woman is having something done to her car and her son is behaving like an idiot. When she asks the man what else he does, he does an hypnotic thing on the boy who then fall into a trance.

[Mia]

Supergran, I kind of like that one... But it also annoys the hell out of me that the woman just sits there and lets her brat misbehave instead of stopping him!

[KW]

I ADORE Staples ( Office Supply store ) yearly back-to-school marketing commercials: One had a mom skipping and leaping down the aisle with her two teens moping behind her and the announcer saying, "They're going baaaack!"

 

It was HILarious!!

[Colin Jacobs]

I loved the car advert with the nervous Jack russell (VW polo?) and dislike all those Sofa adverts offering yet another sale!!!

Its only an advert!!

but when I am working in the holiday camps there are lots of mothers who let their kids do what they want and don't seem to care as long as they have a fag and a beer nearby.

I really dislike the advert about compensation, the one with the man who 'used the wrong ladder', he should have known and asked for the right ladder - the fool!

 

[Kell]

I hate that they've changed the music on the Cadbury Dairymilk adverts now - the gorilla ones used to be Phil collins doing In the Air Tonight(which is excellent) and now it's Bonnie Tyler doing Total Eclips of the Heart (which is rubbish!). Also the one with the racing airport vehicles - it used to be Queen doing Don't Stop Me Now and they've replaced the tune with Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi. Why bother?

I know. I thought they were going to do a new advert but changing the music definately doesn't count. When I first saw it I thought the gorilla might have been playing a different instrument or something.

I feel the same way too, I much prefer Phil Collins and Queen playing through the adverts, why change them?, some people eh?

[checkoe]

I like the new one for Marmite (at least I think it is new!) with Paddington Bear!

 

[supergran71]

I love the one with a little boy and a dog and the biscuit he is eating, telling the dog biscuits arent good for dogs so he will eat his for him:lol:

[Stephanie2008]

I love the marmite one. Paddington bear was my favourite when I was younger.

 

Supergran - i love that Oreo advert too. I did the same thing to my dog the other day
