TV ads - Love-Hate-Whatever

[Sweet G]

Love: Bev/Kev, Orange Wiseman, Mr Muscle, Barry Scott, Yakult, John Smiths, Virgin Trains (Film clips), Flash (Jacko from Brushstrokes)

Hate: Stella Artois priests (woeful considering past output), IBM IT morons, Safestyle Windows (except the Cannon & Ball ones), Oust, Activia ("I'm feeling a bit bloated"-yer heart bleeds for her doesnt it)

Whatever: 3, New Astra (man falling down a mountain), Heineken (Ray Liotta)

 

Boss is back, have to end there, only submit more if you are reading this when you should be working.

Love: Bev & Kev, the previous Honda ad (Hate Something, Change Something), Sure deodorant (the one where they're taking extreme measures to get to work), Virgin trains.

Hate: E-sure ads with Michael Winner, all loan companies and ambulance chasers ads, Activia (agree - mums and daughters don't have conversations like that), Pringles(stop crunching so loudly, dammit), M&Ms ("chocolate isn't blue" - what a stupid game!)

Whatever: erm, all the others, I s'pose.

love - Think its Heat magazine with woman about to batter newstand owner with a traffic cone, Zoo magazine where the women wont get help from the men, vodafone with all the "Dad i am gay," "Ok" short calls

Hate- Crazy Frog and all them other cutesy animated ringtones

agree with most,  especially the esure ads firstly it was that pest who couldnt act and thought 'calm down dear' was a funny catchphrase, and now its using a 'mouse' and turning that into a joke by talking about a keyboard mouse.  I mean  are they completely stupid firstly to think that the joke has never been done before, but also reusing the same joke and then expecting the public to find it funny!. It's simply staggering how awful their adverts are.

Anyway as I was saying, i completely disagree however with the IBM ads, i think they are quick, witty, original and are the only adverts with genuinely good actors.

woah how could i forget one of the best adverts ever! The adidas last man standing advert.  Brilliant music, all the top players from Lions and All-Blacks, fantastic sounds, epic action, smiles on everyone's faces and is overall, a masterpiece of an advert.  Go to www.adidas.com/lastmanstanding and watch the 3 minute version, pure class

love- the evergreen lawn feed with the frog that dances & sings daydream believer (with different words)

hate- any by dfs, that regency one where their "customers" didn't know they could buy there council house until they spoke to regency. also i don't know if it counts as they're on the bbc, but those dancing people that come on between programmes.
