[quote=West Ender]I like the one with the young boys taking the adult roles (is it Citroen?). The latest one, with the new neighbour showing off his car, always makes me laugh - especially the muttered line, "New house, new car, somebody's doin' all right", with a knowing nod. [quote]
i love that one too..it always makes me laugh:engsmil:

Everytime I see an ad I love or hate I feel the urge to come on here and post about it!!!

It may have already been mentioned (no apologies)

but I hate the AA loans ad with 'Bev n Kev'. It has me reaching for the remote to mute it as soon as I hear it.

I like the IBM ads. The most recent favourite is when a truck travelling across America is lost and is stopped by a help desk in the middle of the road.

"Who told you we were lost"!
"the boxes"
"maybe the boxes should drive"!

My current favourite has to be the Budwiser ad where a team of Americans are trying to learn football - and it ends with the coach going through the offside rule with the team
"Does anyone not understand?"
Everyone in the room puts their hand up

"You do the football, we'll do the beer" :-)

Kev is so stupid, he hasn't even realised Bev's a different woman.

The original Bev is in the hit C4 programme Peep Show.

The ad that always makes me laugh is for the children's cough syrup Tixie Lix. It just makes me thinbk of someone being licked by a pixie for some reason.

'Can I have a bottle of Pixie Licks please?

Cough.'

I love the Ben Afleck advert for the new Click deodorant. Very funny.

jambutty · 24-02-2006, 18:04

I dislike just about all of them because far too many make men look like fools when we obviously are not, well not all of us.

The rest con women into believing that if they use that product they will look like the bird advertising it. Come on ladies. Get real!

However there a few that are masterpieces in their own right. The Guinness Rhythm Of Life ad for one.

Finch_brfc · 27-02-2006, 12:15

Another for the 'love to hate' list

Felix catfood with that stupid animated black and white cat (actually any cat food ads, but this is the worst).
