Cinnamon Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I love adverts Well, the good ones I do anyway The Guinness white Horses is an all time favourite, & the bouncing balls one too. At the moment I love that one where all the bright coloured paint splashes up the tower block, & also there is a WONDERFUL one where a gorgeous man in skimpy white trunks seduces a woman on a little boat. No idea what its advertising, but it sure is nice to look at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Does anyone remember the Limara (body spray) advert from years ago? It had a belting tune, very rock Turns out the singer was Stevie Lange, previous wife of Mr Shania Twain (Robert John 'mutt' Lange, who happens to be a top record producer too).

Well, a friend of mine knows that hand.............& she married that chest That's a claim to fame... There was also the aero one with the man wearing only a towel talking quite seductively. I'm still trying to understand the Vauxhall Corsa knitted people. Why is there a selection of knitted people chasing a corsa? MFI are not popular in the Chockchick household Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickpea Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I hate all the Halifax ones with that silly man! Can't think of any I actually like (apart from above mentioned! ) But when I'm watching tv with my brother he always flicks around too quick to see anything, even actual programmes!

bronze Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Both the balls avert and the paint splashing one were done for real (not cgi). Hubby recently did some filmwork with the guys who did them. took donkeys years apparently You can see them here http://www.bravia-advert.com/ I love the honda? ads. the one with the chain reaction of car parts and the humming choir one.

Mrs Frugal Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I like the Persil "Mighty" ones at the moment - the ginormous firework and the "frightens the dirt away" ones. http://www.tellyads.com/show_movie.php?filename=TA4051&advertiser=Persil http://www.tellyads.com/show_movie.php?filename=TA2907&advertiser=Persil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 My favourite advert from a while back was the Dulux paint one with the model house and plasticine people. http://www.tellyads.com/show_movie.php?filename=TA3900&advertiser=Dulux Absolutely love it . Arrr, yes! I'd forgotten all about those ad's. They were all good if I remember rightly, but that one is the best! Do you remember the one where someone took a chunk out of the back of a yellow hood on the top deck of a bus?! I'm going to have ti have a think about this one now. There is one I love at the moneht, but I can't think what it is now. Will watch the ad's tonight and see if it comes on. I have to admit, we are turning into the television police a bit in our house with Stefan around. I only put channel 5 on at 8.25 to catch Thomas the Tank, otherwise it's the Beeb for us. the Ad's are LETHAL during childrens TV, and I would rather walk on hot coals than let Stefan watch Ronald McDonald eating a burger singing, 'I'm Loving It.....' I used to quite like the Body Form ad's. Great to bellow out! Can'tbeat a bit of cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizinsa Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 As others have said, I also love the Skoda Cake advert - apparently it was all edible although after 3 days of filming under bright lights they decided just to bin it! The advert I can't stand is the one where the lady is on the phone getting a loan, and shout to son Josh that "Dad's found your scootA"!!! Ooh thanks for starting this thread, helped me get that off my chest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 The wosrt ad at the moment HAS to be the one for the very American sounding Popcorn (something - meyers), where the dad of the family does the most ridiculous voice.................drives me mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChicken04x Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 i have to say the "shelas weels" advert is getting on my nervs along with the "diamond" one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happymama Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 TV ads - what are those? Oh, they're on the telly, on ITV, C4 and C5... oh, yes. during films I get nice toilet breaks and chances to check my burgeoning inbox, and feed the dog, and deflea the cat, and put some washing on, and hang some washing out, and bring dry washing in, and check for eggs, and check the postbox, and pour a glass of wine, and have a quick shower, and cut my toenails and clean fluff out my bellybutton... I got the sack from a company that used me to assess the efficacy of new ads - never could quite generate an opinion about anything. How can I comment on something I have no interest in?
