Actually there's a very good payoff line in the 'Living' advert with the woman in the meter cupboard.

Her delivery made me laugh out loud.

I liekd the one wiith these flouwing cows in feilds ofg green grase [ancor]

i quite liked the ones for that super noodles things with the blokes dancing in womens clothes, it was quite sweet, if you think that kind of thing is sweet, which I do.
Oh biscuits.

Peter Baynham on the Pot Noodle adverts for a time, until they became the most annoying thing possibly ever. And everyone was saying 'it too gorgeous' all the time.

That waves thing was rubbish, and it pissed me off no end when it came top in that C4 poll.

[Does this mean my six-year old self has been kidnapped by IDENTS, IDENTS? Don't get it.]

the only up-to-date adverts I remember and like are the Anchor ones and the one of the blokes in dresses (can't remember what it was advertising tho') which I like...

a really old one (from the 7o's) is the one for Vicks Sinex, with the punchline 'course you can Malcom.........need I say it still sometimes gets used today!!!!!!!!!!!!

The image of the Tefal big-headed scientists (early TV-AM era?) sticks in my brain, for some reason. And the Carling Black Label one with the cowboy being dragged along the next three adverts, also.

>a really old one (from the 7o's) is the one for Vicks Sinex, with the punchline 'course you can Malcom.........need I say it still sometimes gets used today!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always wondered where that catchphrase came from. My gymnastics coach always used to say it. Good job I wasn't Malcolm, too, because I usually couldn't and ended up landing on my head. Might explain a few things...

Didn't Jimmy Cricket use to say "hmmm there is more..."
I only ask because I heard Omid Djally (?) use it in a joke.
Anyone have a clue?

The Lynx one (with the match) is brilliant.

I also liked the concept of that Charcol "insiders view of the market" with the view through the glass of underneath the cups, so that you could see the ball.
Simple yet effective.

And *still* the Marmite ad (don't know if they still show it) with the kiss, is a gem.

>The Lynx one (with the match) is brilliant.

Indeed it is.

That's Jonathan Meades!!! One day you will all feel his power...

I quite like the IBM one "the baddest thing on the market"

Jimmy Cricket did indeed say "and there's more" as his catchphrase. He also hilariously wore Wellington boots that had "L" and "R" marked on them, but on the wrong foot. I suspect this joke was too subtle for his audience though, since when he was facing the TV cameras.... oh you get the idea.

The BBC audio Cassette "Shuttleworths 2" contains a brief clip of Terry Wogan trying to impersonate Jimmy Cricket. True. It's appallingly hilarious, especially in the out-of-context way that it's been used to blend in with Shuttleworth's Wireless Wanderings.

6.45 BC - it's got to be my fave for this quarter. Fab idea, pissed off I didn't think of selling that one. Love it, even though people reckon he looks like my boyf, although they've only just met him. Hell I love anthropoloy.

Re 645 BC- same guy as in Yellow Pages dirty flat advert.

thnak god someone else actually remembers that carling black label advert that must have lasted about 2-3 minutes in length. which featured the western scene being dragged through to the washing powder commercial and the like! halleljah!

ps what other genre of comms was the bloke dragged through?

It was one of those 'Romantic Ballads' adverts, with the man and the woman 'getting it on' as the list of song titles scrolls up the screen slowly. Cue cowboy crashing into the background.

Why is it I can remember what happened in adverts fifteen years ago, but I can't remember my own phone number half the time?

Very fond of new King Pot Noodle advert. Only because it nicks the visual joke from Armstrong and Miller's "Force On The Case" sketches: where the alcoholic is drinking with his imaginary friend, then we cut to the barman's point of view and the boozer is on his own with two pints to drink. It's shot identically.

Works on TV. Very funny. In the fine tradition of advertisers steadfastly refusing to come up with their own ideas when they can steal someone else's. (McDonalds vs Viz springs to mind...)

The Heinekin Advert Last Year Where They Fast Forward Past The Adverts.Hilarious!

I like the current Heinekin advert, but i'm a rugby fan so i'm biased.
