Re: Best and worst adverts????
Another advert which bugged me was "Can't touch this" 2008 Xmas Argos Advert.
The advert which I like was the "It's like a Golf" VW Advert. |

Bet you'll all remember that one too and keep singing it. Jimmy Saville telling us all to "Clunk,Click, every trip!" Cream cakes -naughty but nice... Another dairy one from the 70's is "Watch out ,watch out,watch out,watch out there's a Humphrey about" Lots of stripey red and white straws stealing kids milk! Don't see many recent British adds -but i can't stand the Direct Line insurance ones... |

Re: Best and worst adverts????
Afraid this thread has really got me going - anyone remember Reginald Molehusband teaching the country how (not) to park cars?

Re: Best and worst adverts????
Most of these ads I have never seen of course. But here are a couple of ads, not from the tv, that really annoy me. A service station a couple of klicks north of here is advertising "Frozen Ice" for sale.
 An Ultramar gas station is advertising that on every thursday premium gasoline will be sold at -3 cents a litre. I don't know if they are the worst; but publicly displayed stupidity really bugs me. |
