What is your favourite tv advert?
« on: May 06, 2009, 19:50:57 »
Mine is definitely this one.

I love the way Aleksadra has a motionless face when he plays the tune "Compare the Market" but when he plays "Compare the Meerkat",  he starts to mime it half way through.  I love the expressions on his face.  I think the advert is brilliant but no doubt there will be some peeps on here who hate it.

What are your favourites?

The Guinness ads,
Follow the bear,
and the Skol adverts (featuring Hagar).



---> Skol, Skol, Skol, Skol,
       Skol, Skol, Skol, Skol,
       Skol, Skol, Skol, Skol,
       Skol, Skol, Skol, Skol, ...

Ideal with the house speciality, Arctic Moose Vidaloo - extra hot.

Oh -  and not forgetting Paul Hogan in the Fosters ads.

(Is there a theme developing here ?)

That's my second favourite after the Meerkat ad. 

I noticed Specsavers have a new one about a couple who sit down on a seat to have lunch.  I missed the first few seconds of it and haven't seen the ad. since.

When my brother was practising for the 'golden shears' competition in NZ (in the hand shears section) he practised on everything including my pet goat and his dog a Blue beardie!

He came second and broke a world record.

I like the Specsavers one where the couple get on a rollercoaster by mistake.... ;D
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

Don't watch a lot of tv direct so we fast forward through the ads most of the time!

If you have ever looked at one of the beer adverts, the bloke on the stool looks as if he is doing something naughty with his privates.  I also like the specsavers one, my OH says it is me and my friend on one of our rambles/walking holidays, sit on a seat and next minute on the roller coaster.  I can just imagine that happening to us especially if we were too busy talking.

I like the maltezer ads. specially the one where she pinches the clowns arse
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

Loved the old Honda "Joy Machine" ad where they are driving a car round a room made out of giant bubble wrap. My idea of heaven!

Cat food ads get me every time  :)
