adverts you love & hate

I hate that Go Compare advert. HATE. IT. Grrrrr

Long live Mr. T's Snickers adverts... funny, funny stuff. 

I agree on both accounts the Mr. T one always makes me laugh!!   

These new Alpen adverts with the people doing 'aerobics' are slowly making me lose my tenuous grasp on sanity.

We consider them soft core porn around my house. Ridiculous.

Something I love lately:
For some reason I'm tickled by the Welsh, middle-aged Goth character who loves his antique shop finds and knick knacks -- "Bahhhgain!!" -- played by comedian Paul Whitehouse, for a home contents insurance ad. It makes me laugh, and myself and a pal now put on a Welsh lilt to exclaim "BAAHHgain!!!" at every opportunity.
Yes, you don't want to come to Tesco's with us!!!  

Perhaps its the silliness and all-too-possible concept of someone that age still hanging onto dressing as a Brit Goth -- I was a bit of a Goth girl in the '80s, but thankfully grew out of it, unlike this character!  

One I hate: the one where the flatmates are interviewing the Elvis impersonator; funny at the end, but the long note he bellows at the start drives me crazy and I lunge for the Mute button every time.  

Go Compare.com   

Those Carspotter ads enrage me.

And who are the sad people who actually use this service?

The kid who needs a poo, but wants to do a poo in Paul's bathroom because he has the air freshener thingy. Gross. Since when do I need to hear about this kid and his poo?!!! 

if i hear 'GREEN ARMY' one more time...

'We buy any car, beep beep, we buy any car, beep beep . . . '

'We spray any bullet, pop pop, we spray any bullet, pop pop . . . '

I too am grossed out by that kid talking about poo. I was eating my dinner once when this ad came on. Blugh.

Don't hate or love it but the Bird's-Eye salmon fish fingers...


It's kinda rude and kinda funny but IMO it should not be on before the watershed.

I saw it and chuckled and the wee boy asked why it was funny. This was in the afternoon.

I love that advert.

I second that! It's so annoying!

I get pretty upset when they have those ads for Cancer Treatment Centers of America.  I'm sure they do good and all that but it's not nice for people who either can't afford it or otherwise use their therapies.  And very upsetting for people who have lost loved ones to cancer.

in the US-- The  Cockney GEICO lizard adverts.. recently there is one where  a guy is giving him a hard time  saying  if  I had an English accent  I'd get all this attention too..blah blah.. and a lady  asks- 'you're British?  I thouht you were Australian'..     DH  agrees.. he has  thought the same thing  about some  Cockney accents..
