What are your best and worse TV ads?
After seeing a similar topic on other websites I thought we should have a go.
My favourite ad was the old "Hovis" bread ad, where the young boy is free wheeling down the cobbled street accompanied by that classic tune. Puts me in mind of Sunday nights as a kid, "by gum those were happy days":D 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":td: |
Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
Best - The blackcurrant Tango one
Worst - Cillit Bang (Any of them) or maybe any of the "Had an accident? Why not sue someone for something that wasn't their fault and make some parasitic lawyer happy and rich" :mad: |
Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
Fave is that milk ad thats always on. With the cow and pirate dancing lol. I dunno why but I laugh everytime I hear the pirate scream. and the little guy at the end makes me laugh to "Lovely".
Worse has gotta be the bloody comparision website ad's All of them. And car insurance Ad's omg I h8 them all I beleive they were created in hell to torture us all. |
Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
The one I always remember is on old Carlsberg with an Aboriginal Australian throwing a boomerang. It ran over the whole evening, comes on throws boomerang, nothing. Eventually he downs said lager and hundereds of boomerangs return.
Most ad's though are terrible especially when they are blindingly obvious. The best ones are remembered for the ad not the product but you do remember the latter. |
Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
very hard
Best Cadburys Gorrila and Sony paint (Tower block) Worst Any that ITV show during F1 |
Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
Some of my favourite ones:
Honda "The Cog": http://youtube.com/watch?v=FGngcQb_0qg Sony "Bouncy Balls": http://youtube.com/watch?v=2Bb8P7dfjVw Guiness Surfer: http://youtube.com/watch?v=zcdDg30VBgo Tango Apple: http://youtube.com/watch?v=-s38ZuedBHI Cocacola "Inside vending machine" http://youtube.com/watch?v=djBQnMibjEM |
Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
Best: The Coca-Cola GTA-styled commercial.
Worst: Those Sensodyne Pronamel adverts where they constantly film 'dentists' from stupid angles and deliberately shake the camera to make it look more folksy, like a party political broadcast. And then the 'dentists' over-enunciate every word. |

Any ad eventually becomes the worst if you see it enough times.
I still quite like the John West Bear ads possibly because they don't get shown very often. |
Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
The worst one for me has to be that one for toilet rolls with the toddler dressed as the MD - that really disturbs me!
Nearly as bad is the stupid Challenge Churchill quiz questions thing - it's only a puppet you know. |

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
I remember a Wheetabix ad from a while ago. the Black Beauty music was playing, and there was a black horse running over fields and through a wood.
When it got back to the stables the camera panned away for a split second then returned to one person lifting a pantomime horse's head off and saying something like 'That's was a good run. Same time tomorrow?' A cracking ad... |
Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
Another worst: The Nurofen advert where the stupid bird is a race engineer with a headache and her car is loosing. She takes a Nurofen straight away notices a big red turbo button, presses it and her car surges forward and wins.
10 year olds can do better. Is this really what we have come to? |
Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
I usually hate the Specsavers ads.However I saw the Thunderbirds one this evening and despite myself I had to laugh.:)

Bit of a bump... Does any one remember the KitKat advert where the football manager is giving his teamtalk but has loads of translatators trying to talk over him translating to all the different languages to all the different players. I think it was Kitkat anyway. Noone else seems to remember it and i'm wondering if I dreamt it now. :erm:

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
This is my new favourite. I don't think it's been on UK television yet, as it only launched a few days ago. Nike seem to always mave great football adverts, and this is no exception. Great concept, great music, well shot and featuring my favourite team. I can easily watch it over and over again.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
Remember this Toblerone ad?

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
For sheer sexiness, you can't beat the old school Flake ads (not that pale imitation with Joss Stone)

No point in posting the worst ones, just stick the telly on at any point, they are pure torture these days. CAN'T FIND CHEAP CAR INSURANCE? To be honest I either turn over or Mute/Turn the sound off, stopped watching them a long time ago, so maybe I have missed a gem, I doubt it. |

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
The ad that makes me reach for the remote is the one for "double glazing", I think its safestyle windows where this really loud bloke runs around shouting, "buy one and get the other absolutely free, I say buy one get the other one free". To me its the most irritating ad on the telly.
On the other hand one of my all time favourites are the old Tango ads, where the big, bald orange guy appears from nowhere, grabs the guy and plants a big smacker of a kiss on him, great stuff, you know when you've been Tango'd.:) |

I do like it when the new Qantas advert comes on, as the backing music is beautiful. I know its just a cover of Down Under by Men At Work, but its still a great piece.

The 'Paula the cow' advert for Dr Oetker's new yoghurt range. It's one of the euro adverts, dubbed into the language of the country it's transmitted in.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
Adverts really annoying me now:
The Budweiser adverts (the "ooh baby baby" ones) and the Toyota Auris ones, with that annoying "come with us/join with us... Ring Ring uh hah..." song. :( |
Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
Someone seems to have muffled Barry Scott, at last. The latest Cillit Bang adverts don't make the ears bleed quite so much.
|
Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
The Thunderbirds one and the classic John West tuna (the bear one) are great :D

Advert for the new Channel 4 Stanley Kubrick season.
Easily one of the best adverts I have seen for a long time. Basically the advert is a recreation of the The Shining set, as seen from Kubrick's point-of-view. |

The new Pot Noodle ad is so like the Not the Nine O'Clock News Barry Manilow spoof... :D

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
[OK, so this is a radio ad, not a TV ad...]
Little bump due to a DAB advert on "Absolute Radio" (prev. Virgin) irritating me. It goes on about how IIRC "e.g. you wouldn't still dial the operator to make a phone call" & makes other comparisons to technological progression & the 21st Century, says analogue radio is outdated & hard to tune, & tries to sell the virtues of DAB... "more stations", "easy tuning", and... "digital quality sound". Erm..."digital quality sound"? What, using a standard designed in the 80s, which uses the rather outdated MP2 audio codec? Give me FM! Oh, & the other adverts are all bloody awful too... |
Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
The best imho is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVE96a7YfME
The worst are with Carol Voderperson telling us how to consolidate all out debts into one. The car adverts shown twice in every single ad break also boil my pi55. |
Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?
I have a new most hated advert, taking the top spot from that awful "I want to do a poo at Paul's" advert with that stupid little kid.
Quote:
AGGGHH!!!!!!!!! It's horrendous. I'm sure they played it every single ad break today on Absolute Radio, and then tonight I heard it again, this time on TV during an ad break for The Gadget Show. It's really, really, the most annoying advert I've heard. It sounds like the sort of crap that chav teens have blaring out of their mobile phone speakers while on the bus. Ugh. |
