I love this advert (latest John Lewis one) but it seems to be a bit Marmite. Some love it, some hate it.

Also quite pointless as you tend to forget who they are advertising unless you wait until the end, but I have usually fast forwarded through it so it cannot annoy me.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?

I hate

Go Compare, Jedward one, redded git in Bernard Matthews.

I like the Barclaycard water slide one,

the one where they playing football with blindfolds and the ball has a bell, the ball gets kicked out of play and a cat with a bell enters the pitch, and gets the boot.

I've looked at the link and im still at a lost to what they are advertising. The ad to me was like it was showing a little girl going through different stages in her life till she was a grandmother and that was it.

What are they advertising

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?

Oh without a doubt - British Gas. Talk about being bombarded, it's bad enough on the telly, but even worse on commercial radio - extremely irritating. In fact every time it comes on I deliberately switch stations, that's how much I hate it! and (to top it off even more) ever since I saw the complaint on BBC Watchdog where their workers were deliberately breaking into people's homes to fit payment meters (even when victims were not British Gas customers) I detest them even more - **** bags!

Si thee

That is because it is fake hence the swearing and the reason I would not post the Youtube link.

They've just shown the old Milky Way ad (Red Car & Blue Car), I always remember the old Satellite & Meteor ad they had on. They don't make ads like they used to!
