....when that guy walks down the street listening to music on his fone (think its vodafone advert) and his hair cut changes with each style of music :) very clever ad



....the one where a bear fights a bloke for some fish...(john west?) and does some fancy footwork.. hahaha so funny i have even got it saved on my computer :)

I think it is vodafone too where the girl walks along chatting whilst seeing into the future so helps to catch a thief by tipping a bin in front of him....rescues a man from walking in front of a showroom window as a car smashes through, jumps up as dogs chase along the pavement.....very cool!!!

Another good advert running at present is the Carlsberg one in the Chinese!!!

My current favourite is the one for the Citroen C4 where the car suddenly gets up and dances. Should be much longer!

i think the Iron Brew lite (i think) advert is funny

the fella trying to pose in front of the ladies 'i'm going to dive' then slips off the diving board and loses his dignity (and trunks) hehe

also like the 'singing in the rain' VW advert - pretty clever that

I love this advert too, MTheo - it always makes me laugh! Still couldn't tell you what it's selling though :P

Makes a nice change to see a good advert - usually I can't bear ads, I feel like they're trying to beat my brain into submission!

I like the Brilcream (is that how it's spelt) ad you see in the cinema with all the naked guys riding bikes, standing in queues, power walking down the street ect. ect.

The reason I like this ad is obvious.

And I hate the Colgate ad where that bloody annoying woman gleefully tells the frustrated viewer all about her sensitive teeth, before shrugging smugly and declaring that she can now eat ice cream.

Ask your dentist..... Grrrrrrrrr!

I hate the Injury Lawyers 4 U advert where the bloke is hookd up to a lie detector and that pug ugly woman is firing constant questions at him.. GOD Dammit woman! You'll get nowt and like it, **** off!

Apologies to the Mods for swearing.

i love the one where the car dances :thumbsup:

saw one last night a malteasers one, there was a business meeting round one of them right big tables looking all posh n everything when suddenly sumone opens a packet of malteasers and they fly off in all directions across the table! i had to laugh, it always happens to me! so i will be buying those new tear top packets! lol :thumbsup:

wow yeah there's loads of great ads out at the moment. i love the mccains potato range one...where the dad makes a toy boat with a potato, and the girl puts them in her bra for her date and they fall out .

"finding new things to do with potatoes, leave it to us"

15-04-2005, 13:58
The Nationwide "Brand New Customers Only" advert makes me smile:)

Deavon
15-04-2005, 14:50
"Calm down dear... It's just a commercial"

Why is it that some of the most annoying ads become the most memorable?

Michael Winner and the Churchill Dog are my favourites:

"Oh yes, yes, yes"

I like the Citroen advert too - its probably particularly appropriate for Citroen, because they are renowned for their innovative, and some times whacky, designs. I remember some years ago they had a model with a wierd suspension system, which made it feel as though you were riding on air. A downside of Citroen though is that the innovative technology has not always been reliable.

Regarding the advert, I can't figure out which part of the dancing car the face comes from.

I love that Remington Wet 2 Straight advert, it always blows me away with its ingenious simplicity and perfection :thumbsup: . Also the new Tesco adverts where they show a white screen place, with some thing simple like a load of bags full of shopping and then a voice calmly says something like "Christmas shopping, thers just never enough days to do it.." then bam the light switches off and voice continues "...good thing there are few nights as well", daaaaaamn how cool is that stuff!

The dancing car! very very clever. Also the funniest ones are the WKD ones . . i.e the judo instructor who asks a learner to 'pull his finger'! or the guy in the shower who's mates keep putting more shower gel on his head.:hihi:

16-04-2005, 18:42
My favourite one is the Lilt one (I think) where they are at a beach hut on mobile phones
"what are you doing you silly sausage"

'It's total gridlock' . . . 'Oh you give me road rage!' :hihi: :hihi:

The Tesco ads.:thumbsup:

No posing celebs, no naff music (?), no 30 seconds trying to figure out what the bloody hell they're trying to sell you.

Short, sweet, to the point. How adverts ought to be.:thumbsup:

PS. I'm a miserable old bugger me.:mad:

What is the tune to the C4 advert?

I think that one is cool.

Ones that annoy me are Pot Noodle Horn, the Michael Winner ones where he's dressed up as a woman (thats scary :o ) and the Nationwide ad.

I've just seen my new favourite advert - tasteless maybe, but I'm still laughing now, thinking about it!

Noddy Holder's advert for 'Nobby's Nuts'!! Absolute classic! Inspired - nibble nobby's nuts!! :o :D

Does anybody know what the voiceover says at the end of the WKD advert? I can't work it out and it's driving me up the wall!

It's the judo one and sounds something like "wot-fnk-scat-book"

I can understand all the other ones, like the shopkeeper one where he says "he hasn't - have you?" but no matter how many times I hear the judo one I just can't get it.

HELP!

Katie, try here (http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Adverts/), it's called Answerbank, and the boffins that use it can tell you anything about adverts, in fact, anything about anything, more or less.

18-04-2005, 13:18
Why is it that when ever there is a cow in an advert it has a MALE voice & hudders. Dont the clever people in TV land know that all cows are girls. Derrrrrrrrrr.

I luv the Panda adverts & the twix advert where the guy riding his bike uses a tree branch to remove his girlfriend so he can have her half of Twix.

The dancing car advert is a big favourite too but false advertising. I wonder if any one as actually asked the car show room if their new car can get up & dance

If it's the one that says 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and has Michael Owen at the end, then it's a track by Cornelius (real name Keigo Oyamada). It's from his album Fantasma (on Matador records) and the track is called Count Five or Six.

See here (http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Adverts/Question27897.html) for details.

I think you mean the Toyota Verso ad - 'how verso are you'

Does it go like this -
Well I went to the park and I wanted to dance all night...
So I wiggle my hips and I shake it right down to the ground...
I want to DANCE

Lol or something like that :blush: The track is called Dance and the artist is ESG. It can be found on their South Bronx Story album. It's a real catchy tune eh :D

Sorry forgot to mention thats for XAMINIX :)

A really good site that reviews all the latest adverts and has an archive of past ads too (each with a Quicktime video). Even has the sickening "Tony and Gordon" ad........

Requires free registration but is well worth it. :)

ps: My fav. ad at the moment is "Breakfast in New York - Tropicana" - I just love NYC.

Exactly my thoughts as well :thumbsup:

I also love the new Guiness ad- the 3 blokes de-evolving.. looks pretty cool, especially the full version which can be found on the Guiness website.

The music is by Sammy Davis Jr and its called 'Rhythm of Life' if anyone wants it as well by the way!

I couldn't find it on the Guinness site (probably not looking well enough), but I did find it here (http://www.bestadsontv.com/ad_details.php?id=634)
Fantastic ad. Bet they don't broadcast it in America though....
