TV Ads.....favourite and least favourite???

[Smiffy]

Favourite for me at the moment has to be the new one for Emirates Airlines with the "air hostess" standing on top of the Burj Khalifa. Absolutely amazing...

Least favourite? Anything with Rylan Clark-Neal in it

 

[RichA]

Best...
John Smith's
Boddington's

Worst - too many to mention
Edit: every YouTube ad

 

[Lord Tyrion]

If we take current ads, the West Coast train line one with the tortoise on roller skates. Love that tortoise.

If we go back in time, Tango (I'm bound to think of others through the day but this springs instantly to mind)

Worst : any perfume advert. Pretentious nonsense. The Natalie Portman one is particularly up itself.

Present favourite is the AA. ad where the dog is replicating his wind blown journeys

Metz - "Beware the Judder Man my dear"

Worst ad ever - "Do the shake and vac" .... end of discussion.

The "bounce ball" ad from Sony for their new range of TVs. Amazing still today, 15 years later.

Worst? Too many, but in general it makes me giggle that there doesn't seem to be many straight couples in today's society if you were to believe the ad makers.

 

[Tongo]

Neither best nor worse but the MacMillan advert with the young girl going to touch the stitches on her mum's (I think it's her mum!) head is brutal.

Brings home the harsh realities of surgery for those of us previously unaware!

 

[Orikoru]

This advert genuinely made me laugh every single time I saw it. I can't believe it's already 14 years old (judging by the YouTube upload date).

Oh and as for ones that I hate.. "WOWCHER!" Shut up. SHUT UP.

 

[HowlingGale]

Saw this while watching a film years ago. We were still laughing when the next ad break came on, then someone piped up, 'I don't get it'. That set us off again. Never had a belly ache like it

Very close second for sheer jaw-dropping brilliance.

Worst is anything selling life Insurance for the over 50's

Most Irn Bru ads

Will always be number one for me ?

This isn’t too far behind ?

That did make me laugh out loud

so did the second IrnBru one

Most Irn Bru ads

And this one was just super cool

 

[Neilds]

Ads are for fast forwarding through, not watching!

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Got no current favourites - and like others it is very rare that I watch any commercial channel live - but record or on catch-up so fast forward through the ads.

But the auld romantic that I am I can't resist any excuse to post and watch again... the most lovely Audrey Tautou; the Orient Express - and hear a wee bit of Billie Holliday

 

[Robster59]

Will always be number one for me ?

This isn’t too far behind ?

My only problem is I can't see the second one now, without thinking of this...

 

[SocketRocket]

I cringe at the one with Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langford with the vibrating foot massage machine. It's so false and cheesy.

 

[GB72]

The wonderful thing is, I have not watched an ad for years. Everything I watch, I record so as I can forward through them. Often start watching a program 20 minutes after it started and finish watching at the same time as the live one.

Old ads were great, not that level of imagination and humour around anymore

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Most of the lager adverts were excellent. The Go Compare adverts get on my nerves but most of the stuff aside from sport is on catch up so can avoid the adverts
