Adverts you like/dislike?

[Weave]

Oh Jamie Oliver grinds my gears!!!! Its the whole 'down with the kids' that annoys me plus I am from a family of chefs who collectively hate him!

[Nici]

They have been showing snippets of the Christmas Coca Cola advert on ITV this afternoon - the teases!

I love the Subway adverts with the talkling vegetables. The jalapeno one where he goes "Ooh mama, too hot, too spicy. Hot hot!" makes me crack up everytime.

 

I also like the Gregg's adverts with Paddy McGuiness. I especially like the one where he gets his pastie, goes to the top of a hill in the car and says "Little bit of romance you and me are gonna experience now. Come 'ere!" and then takes a bite. Me and my parents were randomly saying "Come 'ere!" to each other for months after that.

I am loving the new PG Tips tea advert with Monkey & Al...makes me laugh everytime I see it and think of Eric & Ernie with their version....

I like the new font you're using Inver! Which one is it?

[Nollaig]

I love the Carlsberg Irish ad.

 

Bunch o lads in some country and they go up to the bar and the barman says, 'where are ye from?'

 

'Ireland!'

 

'Ah Ireland! Sing us a song! Or an Irish dance!' and this hot girl comes up, 'sing... or dance...'

 

And one of the lads goes, 'An bhfuil cead agam dul amach go dt

I haven't seen the new PG Tips one yet, so I'll have to watch out for it.

 

I like the one for Rightmove, where the woman runs through people's houses - I think I just admire her energy!

 

I can't stand the one with the cartoon character "Hi, I'm Sophie" - I think it's something to do with comparing bingo sites and it's on every break.

I think it is this one...which is comic Sans MS and then in italic

 

which is like this:D

I love this advert. I have two of those monkeys at home (even though I hate PG Tips - I bought it for the monkey and threw away the tea bags).

[Ceinwenn]

I don't remember which charity it is for, but I can't stand that one where that girl gets slapped in the back of the head over & over & over (amongst other things that happen to her repeatedly through the course of the ad) I ge tthe significance of it, I just HATE that ad & it's always on.

Lol! I saw this advert tonight for the first time and liked it.

I don't like that one either, Ceinwenn. Yes, I get it, but I don't like it. I understand there have been quite a lot of complaints about it but they decided to keep it on.

I think if I remember correctly it has to do with domestic abuse but it give me the creeps even though they are trying to get a message across. I am sure they could have found another way to do it.

I think it's Barnardos. It's about a child getting abused when she's younger, which results in her taking drugs and being in jail etc. It using the shock factor with the smacking which works in my opinion.

[lexiepiper]

I agree, I hate all of those kind of abuse adverts, I understand why they need to be shown, but every advert break for hours at a time is a bit unfair to the watcher

I agree - those adverts really get to me. I have to mute the television because just hearing it is awful. And the compensation adverts get my blood boiling too - there's so many of them.

 

As for adverts I like - the KFC ones from a couple of years ago where they sang were great. The one with the dad mocking the son's hair is great - i even youtube-d it .

[lexiepiper]

Ohh I remember the one that really annoys me, it's for mens hair dye, and there's 2 little girls and one says "you'd be a really good catch", I just don't think a young girl would ever say that to her dad

[Kell]

I hate any mascara advert with the tag line "styled with lash inserts and/or enhanced post production". Even with that line, t's false advertising - just show us what the product CAN do, not what you can do with falsies and computers!

I absolutely love this advert too! I have a little cuddly 'Munkey' and often want to dance around the kitchen with him! lol!

[Weave]

The insurance adverts for insurance with Iggy Pop in them, there is something very unsettling about them:irked:

 

I don't know if anyone will remember this advert, it was for Full Stop and in it there was a wee girl and her Dad, who is abusing her and because of his abuse she is becoming more and more alienated, frightened, etc but they have wee girl represented as a doll (at certainpoints) and you see the Dad whispering into her ear, everytime I saw that advert, I wanted to take the doll off him and wacked him over the head with it!

[BookBee8]

I liked that one about Hovis with the little boy running home and he's going through the years and all the major events that happened.

 

Other than that, I hate all adverts, hehe. I usually switch over because they irritate me. Especially when you're watching a film on ITV and it suddenly goes to adverts in the middle of an important plot point .

[Kell]

I hate that the adverts are always SO much louder than the programmes they come in between so that if you're watching a quiet programme and have the volume turned up to compensate, you're suddenly deafened the moment the adverts come on. It drives me crazy - especially when Xander is taking a rare daytime nap - I suddenly grab the remote in a panic and hope to get the sound off in time before it wakes him!

Tell me about it! Lee Evans made a joke about that once - how you're just leaving the room once the adverts come on and suddenly they're shouting at you. So true. I hate that! :motz:Hehe.

[Kenny]

The new Monkey and Al one thats funny:lol:

yeah I hate that to its so annoying.

[BrainFreeze]

I love Guinness adverts - can't stand the drink but they make cracking adverts!

 

I can't stand the Right Move advert where the woman is running through the houses - it doesn't make me feel like they've got the most to offer, just that they'd rush you!
