I haven't watched any tv since landing late yesterday afternoon, so I haven't seen the current US adverts. I'm just here to celebrate my 'Go Compare' and 'More Than Freeman' free life.  [smiley=2thumbsup.gif] [smiley=guitarist.gif] [smiley=juggle.gif] [smiley=mickey.gif] [smiley=party3.gif] [smiley=hat.gif] [smiley=hippy.gif] [smiley=daisy.gif] [smiley=clown.gif] [smiley=balloon.gif] etc...

I envy you!

I love adverts that don't really seem to make sense. Posting via tapatalk so can't link but one of my all time favourites is found on YouTube by searching "mini cooper fish slap". It would have never been shown in the US. God I love this country! :D

There are a few I absolutely HATE. I watch Emmerdale and Corrie :-[ and they each have their sponsors. Harvey's furniture for Emmerdale and the two women in the adverts drive me insane, but what's worse is the "bingo heads" on Corrie!
Another hater of the go compare (actually the whole family dislikes them) adverts and the confused.com ones. Now, after saying that these adverts drive me crazy, I would MUCH rather watch them then be inundated with political adverts in the States.

The Aldi adverts are usually cute, and the Lloyds TSB music always gets stuck in my head, but its not annoying.

I love the Lloyds music! It's by an Australian composer and is called Eliza's Aria.  :)

I am already annoyed by all the various adverts featuring Olympic athletes.

I love the one for Columbia College that show graduates getting their diplomas from the dean? who is printing them off the printer and giving them out as the machine spits them out to the line of graduates.
In another scene a woman is sitting down and looks totally bored as she hands out diplomas. She gives a fake smile as each student steps up to receive their diploma.

The Enterprise UK advert. I just saw it for the first time tonight. LOVE it.
Edit: Its tagline is "UK Car Hire, US Customer Service"
