adverts you love & hate

I love the new Meercats compare the market/compare the meercat commercials too funny they make me laugh everytime I see them!!   

I'm loving the "choo choo choo" Trainline ad! It just cracks me up 

Just looking at the name of this thread put that song in my mind.

Anyone else find yourself singing "Safelite repair, safelite replace" (US version) of the Autoglass jingle?

That one came on the radio last summer when I was driving down the road in mom's truck (2007 Chevy Silverado) and for some reason I got the giggles over the same jingle, different name and American accent, after hearing it so much over here. I was laughing so hard I nearly went off the road. While we were over there this summer, I actually found myself listening for it.

That's awesome. That would've been fun explaining to your mom why you were in the ditch.

That 0800 Zed ad with the German or Dutch or something (?) dancing zebras.  WTF?

The comparethemarket.com ads with the meerkats giving a cuddly meerkat toy to the lady for buying pet insurance makes me laugh every time.  I love how the one meerkat is very wary of the dog.

I love your commercial   & the one where the 2 meerkats go in the guys workplace an he gets the cuddly stuffed Alexander. I love it when the other Meerkat tries to do Alexander's voice an Alexander gives him a dirty look lol.  

The Guardian's advert with the Three Little Pigs is neat

Yeah, it's really clever!

I hate all the talking cow ads right now.  The one for Bisto (I like the way you mooove. Shudder) and the one where the cow is dressed in a suit for Coleman's sauces perhaps?

Gross. Who are they trying to appeal to?  Young men certainly aren't using their products.

Finally, an excuse to air my dislike for the Match.com ad where the dude sings his 'improv' song to the girl on the platform.

The fact that we are meant to believe that shy boy with a ukelele has overcome is insecurity and been inspired by his love of the fact that the dye-job blonde dyes her hair blonde and has nice skin makes me sick to my scorn.  Just like the Billy Joel song, 'Always a woman' where he says horrible and disturbing things about someone he purports to LOVE, and just because he sings it we are supposed to believe it's endearing?   

Yech.  There, I feel better now.

I really think the Confused.com adverts are perverted! Do you ever notice how big and bouncy they make the womans boobs? And they bounce A LOT in each ad it seems! 

I am truly and horribly put off by all the commercials on now for Cancer Treatment Centers of America. I have no idea if they are all they claim to be but I really do not wish to be reminded of what cancer treatment entails. Also the ones for St. Jude's Hospital (I know they are reputed to be good) but I have to switch off rather than look at those poor children.

Well Cancer Treatment places are for profit, but St. Judes is a non-profit and doesn't turn away any child for the inability to pay.

They need to get that funding somehow.

Love the Aldi tea advert - where the woman says her husband likes the PG Tips tea & he also likes the Aldi tea.  And then she says that she doesn't like tea - she likes gin!
