The ad for the new Mortal Kombat- Deception game is really good. It's got people who look like people but they aren't really people but fighting machines.
Im very very tired...

QUOTE (CommieBastard @ Mar 23 2004, 06:16 PM) My all-time British advert is the Pot Noodle advert. For Americans and their natural enemies to the north, Pot Noodle is a meal that comes in a big plastic cup. You add boiling water, leave it for a while, and it becomes what seems on the surface to be simply a tasty noodle meal, but in actual fact is the very ambrosia of some unhealthy God. I can't find it on the net, so I'll write a transcript.  Sometime's Commie i don't think you try hard enough.  http://www.absolutelyandy.com/tvadverts/ At the middle/bottom is the Pot Noodle advert. You need to save it to your hard drive to watch (not checked it so virus scan). There is also a load of great UK adverts there some of the Dime bar one's with Harry Enfield are my favorites. /Edit ok just realised how old this thread is .................Commie your still not forgiven.

I hate the injury finance adverts, especially the one where the man who fits burgular alarms falls off his ladder (his excuse being "I was given the wrong type of ladder") and he's given like £5,000 compensation. While the only 'accident' that seems remotely accidental in these adverts is the woman who has a car crash, but she's only given £1,000. Very odd. Yeah, basically any compensation or injury lawyers adverts annoy me

My favorite commercial is one of the car insurance ones, the one that is a fake ad for a reality show called 'little house'
"the marriage was built to last.. but the house was built too small!" and then it has the couple doing stuff like trying in vain to flip a pancake in the kitchen, sitting in the miniscule hot tub, etc. that was hilarious ^-^ I think my least favorite ads are for the Trojan condoms.. but they are pretty amusing coming from the point of the channel they're on. the only channel I think I have ever seen them on is the G4; the video game channel.. a channel watched mainly by nerds and the like.. so considering the reputation of nerds' sex lives, why in the world would they be needing condoms?? hmm --------------------  avatars fit for a peasant! |

Those car insurance commercials where it really looks like one commercial, (One I seriously thought was going to be an Old Navy commercial, but then... ) "But it won't help me save on car insurance!"

my favorite add is the "say no to plactic bags" one
for those that havn't seen it this is what happens we (the audience) see a guy walking up to the counter in a video rental place *he places his video on the counter* the chic working there says is that all for today video guy oh no and grabs a kit-kat type thing video store chic then says "would you like me to put those insomething thatinjures our precious marine life, clogs our creeks and drains and adds to the 100,000 plactic bags being dumped in lanndfill every hour taking up to 1000 years to break down *expectant boppy smile* video guy hhmmnn *light bulb* i could just carry them and she smiles and gives him his video and kit-kat and he smiles and leaves knowing he's saved a little piece of the environment and thats just cool. i'm kind of fond of the other add in the set if only because of the reaction of the checkout chic -------------------- Vote Brian Molko for ruler of the whole world in 2007

QUOTE (Polocrunch @ Apr 15 2004, 09:05 PM) I've never really seen a political advert as such on British TV. Instead we get fifteen minute slots for election manifestos once a night on the big terrestrial channels. Don't we get two minute jobbies shoved in between programs as well? Where each party just basically slags off the others then tells you to vote for their own? Personally, there's one line in an advert that really annoys me: "...imagine if Lucozade redesigned water..." I mean, redesigned? Like, took it apart and put the atoms together a bit different? That just bugs me. Apart from that, the advert is pretty cool, with a guy made out of water swimming. In water. -------------------- Waiting for a superhero intervention |

Several people have mentioned the Geico ads... The ads with the Gecko, the ads that make fun of other commercials, the ads where they showed stupid people doing stupid things... and, of course, the ad where the jogger runs into the deer... very funny... the only Geico ads I don't like are the ones with both the Gecko and the Geico guy together... those are just dumb.
As for ads I don't like... There's a series of ads about a "Male Enhancement" product, where the main charachter always has this Sh*t eating grin plastered on his face... I hate those! Oh, yes... and all those diamond ads, always aimed at Men, implying that they can buy a woman's love, if they just buy her a diamond... makes me sick. And you'll notice, they never mention the fact that diamond sales help finance bloody civil wars in Africa, and helped shore up Apartheid... No, just buy your woman a diamond, and she'll be yours, forever...

I saw the Worst Advert Ever over the Christmas period.
Its the 'Crazy Frog' Advert that advertises an annoying mobile phone ringtone. Now, I wouldn't mind if it was on once in a night (I cope with that much annoyance) but not twice every bloody ad break. Grr, it just infuriates me so much.

I've got a dvd called "Charley Says", it's 2 and a half hours of the old government information ads that used to be broadcast between schools programmes and at 2 0 clock in the morning. I swear they show them that late to scare the pants off you when you've rolled in drunk from the clubs.."Little Jimmy should never have flown his kite so near a pylon....BANG!!!" One incinerated child later and I need new pants...
All the classics are on there, Charley the cat, The Tufty club, The Protect and Survive ads that show what to do in case of Nuclear attack...Very cheery stuff

QUOTE .."Little Jimmy should never have flown his kite so near a pylon....BANG!!!" One incinerated child later and I need new pants... That one did the same to me. There was also the sparkler one for Bonfire night - where the mother asks her little girl to show her hands to a friend after she picked up a sparkler she had dropped. *shivers* I will never let my son hold a sparkler. And the dangers of escalators. They showed us that one at school. It demonstrated with a pair of wellies what happens if you get your feet too close to the sides or back of an escalator step. One chewed up welly later and I'm still nervous on the bloody things. -------------------- Art should be an expression of what humanity is capable of imagining - not limited to representing that which surrounds us - Demetrios Vakras
