Got an advert you love.? Or is there simply one you just hate.? I am not even going to mention that flipping green croaking thing  I don't like the singing chicken ad, where the guy sings #great she hasn't cooked!  And the scarey weetabix ad with the scarecrow...its enough to put kids off eating the product!! I hate the 'bogof' ads. The bloke on it is a tw*t. I love the ones with Peter Kay in. |

I agree, that Weetabix scarecrow is scary!
Also that advert with the tic tacs which come to life and change the tyre on a car - those tic tac men are kind of evil....
I still hate Kev and Bev, even with the new Bev
And the insurance ones with the mouse - is it esure? They are really annoying

I hate the ad for Norton Finance - it's on digital TV and it's so annoying! It's a man trying to walk across a tightrope with some boxes...

Lol, it's not just that...it takes b****y ages too. In fact I hate all those insurance ads, they're far too long!
I like the Thompson's advert ;D

Esure - yep, really annoying - especially the ones with Michael Winner in them *groan* I like adverts with toddlers in them, do you remember there was a car advert years ago with hundreds of babies in it? It was like a conference about how the car was suitable for children to go in  The room was full of babies My mum hates the cornflake ad too, lol...I agree it is annoying. Adverts that talk about animal cruelty affect me too - I love animals and I loathe people who mistreat them  |

Virgin Trains Ad. Very cleverly put together.
Starts off with The Railway Children running towards the train.

I'm so surprised nobody's mentioned those ads with the dancing robotic cars! you know, the one where they've got Gene Kelly body popping to singing in the rain! HOW Cool?!
used to like those creature comfort ads British Gas did too.
Annoying ones? ... Hmm....
Gotta be all burger king and KFC. *cue big lady sitting on a cannon singing in powerful rock voice....* "THERE'S ONLY ONE NINETY-NINER!" But hey, i think they've already been mentioned...
how's about the latest Warburtons ad with the mum and daughter in the kitchen? where the Mum is having a rant about needing a 'Toastology' to toast a piece of bread... badly overacted! and pointless!

Nobody's mentioned the one about Admiral.com - so I will. It's not just the guy himself who's annoying, the guy/girl blubbing about not getting cheap car insurance is annoying too!

I can't believe they have managed to get away with that one! Or is it just my dirty mind? All I know is, 5 of us found it hilarious when we kept seeing it in August one night!! |

IMO, most adverts today aren't really that memorable compared to ones of the past, which had...
Shake 'n' Vac (corny but memorable)
Smash
PG Tips
Coca Cola
Nescafe Gold Blend (Tony Head is LOVELY in those ads!)

I don't like the Twix advert, where the guy is speaking in French and riding the bike, then he ducks and the woman gets smashed in the head with the branch - then 2 seconds later she is getting up - how unrealistic do you want to get!
Huggy - I love that nappy ad - how cute is that baby!!
