The Kellogg's Frosties advert with the boy singing "They're gonna taste great!"

urgh!
"even women who wait
or even a pi-rate"

what ?

"if you live in auz , mate
or the empire state..."

WTF! SHUT UP ! SHUT UP!


But never fear, gentlemen; castration was really not the point of feminism, and we women are too busy eviscerating one another to take you on.

The drive slower campaign ad with the little girl sitting against the tree and her voice-over telling people to drive slower than 30 mph because she'll have an 80% (I think?) chance of survival.

Forgot to add: can't stand it.

I am digging the Beck's advert... and of course want the music... anyone know it?

"Only takes four steps"
with the real guy coming out of the bar joining in the dance that has four steps to it with the other three animated type characters. 

and the new jazzier version for Muller with the pumped up version of "Ain't Got No/I Got Life"  LOVE that song!

It's: It Overtakes Me by The Flaming Lips. I agree, good advert, good song!

Sean Jon's new advert for his new perfume "Unforgivable"

Yes Sean it certainly is....

I absolutely can not stand those stupid Orange adverts in the cinemas using people like John Cleese, Patrick Swayze, and Sean Astin.  I deliberately try to go a bit later so as to avoid those stupid things!  Doesn't always work though.

I only go once in a while, and I think those are hilarious.  :P


eta: except the Patrick Swayze one...I just watched it on youtube....yawn.

I like the song for Sheila's Wheels, the car insurance ad featuring three blondes in a pink Cadillac, with a brass band sitting on the boot.  It's just a fun song:

For ladies who insure their cars
Sheila's Wheels are superstars...

Anyone remember that joke poster that got set up around London a few years back for "Sheila, the new Australian perfume (also kills flies)"?  Cosmetics departments all over London were inundated with requests from people who took it seriously, to the point that an Australian company that did actually market a perfume called Sheila decided to export it to the UK!

I also love that trippy deisel petrol commercial (The hate song)


It's Garrison Keeler, and I love it too!  I downloaded the song and video from the Honda website when it first came out..if you want to PM me I'll e-mail it to you tonight.

I like the "leaving on a jet plane" where the little girl looks out of her window and sees dolphins.

Will do, thanks!  :D

BTW everyone, "Frosties kid" now has his own urban legend, just like Mikey.

The Vauxhall commercials, where the kids behave like adults and criticize their parents' immturity, have got to be the biggest reason not to buy a Vauxhall.  It wasn't cute the first time, and now they're just annoying!
