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'..   ;D  DH  agrees.. he has  thought the same thing  about some  Cockney accents..

Fascinating fact: the current voice of the GEICO gecko is none other than Max Branning from Eastenders (Jake Wood) :P!

The one with the annoying guy yelling, 'Up your viva' and forcing his stupid friend to do the same.

I used to think they were kind of cute (in the very beginning) but now I really hate them - because they are so nicey-nice, false sense of security like...

Those Lloyds TSB adverts with the lilting music & the little cartoon families all doing wonderful things with all the money at their disposal..."For the Journey"...ahhhh, isn't it all so great.

The Journey to Bankruptcy, more like it.  ::)

Up your Viva! Yes, this is super annoying and plus the guy has an odd mouth and the friend he is calling I believe is at a urinal. Everything about it is just wrong.

That one really grates on me, especially the third time during one show.

I'm a huge fan on the Sparklers safety advert.

That one freaks me out too. Totally pointless.

I like the Duncan Hines commercial with the little boy that likes cake. Cute!  :)

I like the commercial for Food Network Challenge with the male figure skater and his partner the lobster. The lobster falls apart during the routine.  [smiley=laugh3.gif] "A better way to compete with food!" It just makes me giggle!

And OMG they have added more Go Compare adverts! I think there are 4 different ones now!  ???

Why does every other commercial on US TV now have a British "spokesperson"? Not only is there the Geico gecko, but also the Travelocity gnome, the Cheer washerwoman, the FiberOne Asian/British supermarket manager, and of course the Dyson vacuum dude. And probably more that I've forgotten (as I try to tune out all ads)

LOVE that one!  I also like the one where the woman puts Barbie jeans in the washer to make her friend think she shunk them!
