I like the ads for 1st Line Mobile.

Bonjour!

My least fave ad has to be the STV 'Reid Furniture' and 'landmark furniture' they are so in yer face

Haven't got a favourite, but I see those Clover ads are back again, at least they are on Tyne Tees. It made a come back last summer after about 8 years.

Shake n Vac. That's the all-time classic.
I bet you can still sing the song.

It's all you have to do . . .
You do the shake and vac and put the freshness back
(do the shake and vac and put the freshness back)
When you carpet smells fresh, your room does too
etc

I hate those F***ing clover adverts & the walls sausages I forgot to mention them

Gap Ads - arse
Kenco - patronising
that bank ad with "italian job" song - annoying
Homebase - crap youd think neil morrisey could attempt some humour
skoda ads - at least they are prepared to poke fun at themselves
other cars ads - crap....
renault? is it them that do a variety of "ooh naughty illicit sex --- ha ha fooled you its all above board" ads. dickheads.
Tesco - that stoopid old bat with the ever-suffering daughter. These can be amusing first time round. if there was a new one each time it'd be ok.
I presume the major cost of tv ads is the airtime so why cant they do that......
I cant remember the ones that *really* annoy me cos I've developed a special mental blankness that i swith on when ads come on .
trouble is i often forget to switch it off again.:)

The worst thing is you remember the products. That's better than most advertisers get, so it's good advertising. It might, however, not be art.

the old guy who does the Northern Upholstery ads. they're cheesy as fuck and he knows it. check out his smug grin every time, he's just thinking the few grand he's pocketed every time. apparently he was once in The Great Escape, give the man his dues.

i've moved down south now. any idea if he's still going? last thing i saw, he was challenged by some Latin lothario for the hand of his daytime tv-esque co-star.

Best has to be the "don't be stupid" little boy on the Warbuton's ad.

>the old guy who does the Northern Upholstery ads... any idea if he's still going?

Down south (in fact, in the majority of the country) Northern Upholstery are known as DFS. Unfortunately the classic adverts seem to have been ditched at the moment for various poor attempts such as "what does DFS stand for?". But yes, the adverts with said actor and co-star were good, especially when you go back 8 years or so and they used to read out all the locations of the stores quickly at the end of the advert. MacDonalds did a spoof of it in a recent advert for cheap burgers.

I think one of the greatest adverts of all time has to be for R Whites Lemonade, especially the versions with the different endings from the early 90's (eg turning into Mr Benn etc).

"I'm a secret lemonade drinker...

His name's Tom Adams. And I think it's only Northern Upholstery in Yorkshire

I like the Metz advert with the Judder-Man (as in "Beware the Judder-Man, my dear...") It's just really peculiar. The music always freaks me out.

I particularly dislike Iceland ads - those ones like 'we gave Mrs Jones a pair of shoes and a bowl of water and asked her to use them to show her appreciation of 10p off a cake. Or whatever the hell they were. Ok, so the ad works in that I remember what it's for, but by remembering it to ensure I never ever go there surely suggests they've actually failed.

exactly beccy! gap ads have that effect on me.

my new no1 most hated advert is one that hit the screens just recently and features the worlds worst actors (unless they're doing it deliberately - i cant tell)

"hey - just call us the fibregel family"


I like those strange judderman ones though (theres a really long version that i've only seen a couple of times), much better than the previous metz ad with the eyepatched
"freelance scientist" bloke.
Are the judderman ones a kind of early eastern europe film folklore theme?

They remind me a bit of Tim Burton films..

The best adverts at the moment are the 'mighty mighty mints' ones.
Its the first time in ages that ive found an advert genuinely ammusing.

I like the one where the bloke buys a duck on his credit card for no reason what so ever. I especially like the scene where him and the duck get thrown out of the nightclub.

The worst new ad is the BT teen internet lovers. Convienently they don't tell you how much the call charges are.

The worst ad campaign has to be Sainsburys, that awful muzak, and so sunny and smiley, a million miles removed form the reality of life and shopping.

I'm still a major fan of the 'marmite kiss' advert.
Pure class.
