adverts you love & hate

I like the advert with the two little white bobbly things walking to "Let me call you Sweetheart"  They are two little wind-up toys.

I love the beer commercial where they are having a Marathon and the 2 guys are dressed as Salmon and they are running against the crowd...just like they are going up stream...I thought that was very clever....

I hate the Phones 4 U ads...they are just weird and creepy and the people in it are creepy...lets just say the whole thing creeps me out

Ooh.. few I can't stand (and now can't particularly remember what they're for)

There's one with a guy.. "ya buy one.. ya get one free! I said ya buy one.. ya get one free!"  Absolutely hate it.  The one with Terry Wogan where he rips off his shirt at the end.. "come on Terry!".  I think what annoys the crap out of me on this one are everyone's faces in the advert.

Finally.. not one I hate, but..    I think it's for Rice Krispies.. it shows kids sort of out in nature, on a tree.. playing in the dirt.. and the kid at the end.. does he say, "it's a poo stick" .....??

and the kid at the end.. does he say, "it's a poo stick" .....??

LOL!! 

I think you'd have to have been a child in the UK (or else just a big Winnie the Pooh fan) to know what that means! Pooh sticks are twigs or small sticks you drop in a stream on one side of a bridge. Then you run to the other side to see which one has won the "race." Winnie the Pooh and his friends used to play it!

I'm SO glad I'm not the only one who didn't get this!  I kept thinking the kid was talking about using the stick to poke at dog poo!  I finally asked DH about it and he gave be chary's explanation.     I felt stoopid!

That one cracks us up, because if you look at the little boy's face he really doesn't get it either. 

   Umm.. thanks for the clarification.. certainly makes more sense now 

yeah thanks for the clarification...I had no idea what a poo stick was either....

I agree with Eire...that the guy dressed in the Shakespeare robe saying you buy one you get one free just drives me mad.... and another one I thought of is for the cleaner Cilla something...the guy announcing is Australian and shouting the whole time....like we are going to rush out and buy it if he shouts...

That would be Barry Scott for Cillit Bang.  I would have to agree with you, Josie.  He is extremely annoying!! 

I hate hate hate HATE the Pipex commercials with David Hasselhoff in them or "The Hoff" if you prefer..  they weird me out.

what? you guys have not played "Pooh sticks" before??  I swear Phil and Jess get into fist-tee-cuffs over who's stick goes under the bridge first!!!

I like the Tefal ad where the guy is trying to jam his pans back into his cubbard only for the handle to rip thru the dog's picture on the other side of the wall...the dog on the piano stool whimpers and looks at his tail slightly worried.


I like the song on the Intel ad "I can give you want you want" had a peek at the rest of their tunes ...eh
 

Well this one is in America, but Josy's post about the shouting guy reminded me of the OxyClean/OrangeClean guy.  I can't stand him!  Why do they feel the need to shout at us?  All it does is make me not want to buy their product.

I used to play virtual pooh sticks but sadly the website is no longer.

I'm really liking the new Bravia commercial. The one where different color paint suddenly bursts near a block of flats. Pretty.

I know feel as if I have missed out on something by not playing pooh sticks heheh...

Yes I agree with Kat the American equivalent of the guy that shouts is OxyClean...it really doesn't make me want to buy their products...

Oh you are all going to think I am a geek...but I love the little airwick commercials before Corrie...the one with the little pig and the cow...I love the little pig....
