Oooh, I love the Cadbury's Dairy Milk advert- with the gorilla playing the drums!  :)

I've got two today -

the VW ad with the old guy in Georgia teaching the young kid to drive.  I love it because it reminds me of why I love Georgia (the people, the accents and the crickets) and how he gets the kids hair cut.  I hate hate hate the 70's hair so many kids are sporting these days, especially when it is in their eyes and they have to flip it out all the time.  O0

And the Tmoblie top up one, where the shop owners chase the guy down then snuggle with him, because they miss him.   [smiley=heart.gif]

I like this one, too, but I don't get what it has to do with Cadbury's... another cryptic advert!  I also like the Burger King advert with the guy "pulling out all the stops," always makes me giggle...

But I HATE the Subway adverts here.... then again, Jared wasn't that interesting, either.  I think they need a new marketing team or something...

Hate ALL commercials.  Even PBS is running them now and somehow they are even more annoying.   Watch old movies on TCM because they have no ads!!

Me too! It left me feeling very unsure about it.

I currently really like the Vision Express advert with the eyeballs working out at the gym  :)

The comparethemarket.com commercial with the meerkat.  Very, very annoying.

I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer.

I love that advert!

I was first aware of that campaign when I got an email (having previously been on compare the market website) with a  link to a "compare the meerkat" website, absolutely brilliant site!

I have trouble figuring out what some commercials are advertising sometimes.   ???

Hee hee - I know what you mean, BD!  And in fact, Alan Sugar (the Apprentice guy) - I have heard him previously slate Orange Mobile for their adverts not explicitly saying what they are advertising.

Not sure if these have been mentioned on this thread before, but I *love love love* the Orange adverts they show over here at the cinema.  Ok, I'll admit I'm partial anyway for personal reasons ;), but I do love 'em!  This one was my favourite, so far:



(the one with Snoop Doggy Dog)  ;D

Not really an advert, but I liked the BBC America identification bit they had on at Xmas time with penguins and people skating around. (They have this circle them going on)

It's not a matter of love or hate, but I can't take my eyes off the Talk Talk ads where the overhead shots of people making the forms of people, etc.

I'm loving the dairy ad where the free range cow is riding around on the motorcycle.  :)

These aren't adverts that are on TV, as they were banned but they are rather funny...


** note they are all condom adverts
