The only thing I dislike about the Xbox One advert, is when he says "Xbox On". It then powers up my Xbox

I like the Nivea Men ad (the one with the bulldozer), when it smashes the car. The look on the guys face standing next to it, when it happens is priceless

I agree it is rather annoying advert. Mind you what annoys me even more is adverts for games that show `not actual game footage`! Why show it then? For me it`s like an advert for Virgin tv showing sky Atlantic then saying `not actually on virgin`! Is it not boardering on false advertising?

Ray Winstone's betting ads.

What next? Threatening people because their untreated flat roof is about to leak?

I know. you get `not actual game footage` all the way through it. you're just being shown one of the videos in the game.
and a lot of people would go out and buy the game based on that.

that's why they do it. and just put `not actual game footage` to get away with it.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?

Any advert with background music that consists mainly of one or two people whistling drives me up the wall to put it mildly. It's just so cheap and annoying.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?

I don't like the guy who does the Talk Talk advert, he has a voice which makes his face slapable every time he opens his mouth imo

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?

That BT advert for broadband with the `father and son` drives me up the wall everytime it comes on. It makes me want to scream!
