Dislike/like: The new Farmfoods advert where they say, "You know it's good when you see the names!" And one of the adverts has a proper spaz at the end saying, "You know it's Farmfoods when you see the faces!" In a lisp, and It is hilarious! :lol:

I liked all the Tesco adverts with the moaning old woman and her daughter in them. Tesco certainly know how to use effective comedy! :-)

The Noel one is quite good as well :smt039

I have never seen a Farmfoods ad, they must not show it in the non pikey south.

I love the Teletext Holiday Cat adverts...they are hilarious.
I also liked the dog in the Polo car but havent seen that for a few days.
Plus, the Tesco Direct one is rather good.

Can't stand that M&S lighthouse one though.

I've never seen a Farmfoods ad either. I tried to look it up on YouTube and couldn't see it.

I did find the Carol Voderman Farmfoods ad, however I really think they should of got Harry Hill to do the ad - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=8154yI13a-o

I love the sure ghost train one!

The Worst at the moment has to be the Dairy milk advert :angry

Airport vehicles racing down a runway :shock:

What does that have to do with chocolate??? Adverts encourage people to buy chocolate bars that advert will encourage people to want airport vehicles. It's annoying although the choice of song isn't bad.

Thats Good To Hear. I Don't Understand it myself anyways.

Do you remember these three adverts.......

It was an advert for XBOX and a woman Has a baby and the baby flies through the air and gets older and older and lands in a grave :shock:

What did that have to do with Xbox????

A Car commercial like a horror film where the couple are making out in a car in a graveyard and a zombie pops up

I didn't watch the rest of it because it scared me :lol:

It was ages and ages ago

Finally a Pot Noodle advert where a man goes all around town and asks can I have a pot noodle and women keep slapping him and he asks another woman and she says come upstairs or something and they're bouncing up and down on the bed making noises eating the pot noodles

Nope.

Best advert in the world ever. Literally amazing. I am singing along like a right nutter when that come on!

I'm finding the ones that appear during DOND pretty irritating especially when they play them in the same order each day. I find the Otex eardrops one rather weird.

I think it's good, but not as good as the drumming Gorilla. As with the Gorilla ad it makes no sense in relation to chocolate, but I guess it gets people talking about Cadbury's.

Also has anyone seen the new VW ad with the dogs - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9beQh1yH5uU - which has just been axed due to complaints of animal cruelty, which there was wasn't.

The first time I saw that ad I thought it was a bit strange but then adverts always seem to be a bit 'out there' when advertising stuff now.

I love the dog ad but to be fair I do not like it when the dog is shaking, how did they get the footage of him shaking? I think it's right it's been pulled.

There's a story here from the Daily Mail and the dog's owner explaining how the ad was made and that the dog stood on a special motorised plate during filming - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/a ... ge_id=1773

Ooooh me only just seen this.

I still think it's wrong to show it as the dog looks distressed and I for one dont want to see a dog looking like that, it's like the ones with babies crying.... adverts should make us happy.

The advert is slightly weird, but I quite liked it. The scenes with the dog looking "distressed" are rather odd, but I guessed no harm had come to the dog because it was obvious "fake" methods had been used in the advert production - which is why it appears to be singing and also appears to be trembling.

I can see why some people may have thought the dog was distressed, but TV shows just would not get away with distressing a dog in order to produce an advert nowadays...

One advert which I felt personally "touched" (shall we say) by was one for Coke (I think) that showed a tortoise walking along with a Coke can somehow fixed to its back. Again I'm assuming (and hoping) some trickery was used there, but having previously owned a tortoise, I didn't particularly like that ad as I know they're sensitive and quite delicate little creatures beneath their hard shells (a bit like me

).

Tried to find the tortoise ad on YouTube and came across this:

Theres another downside, the person that flies through the air holds his ahem private parts and at the end it says play more :shock:
