Favourate TV Ads.

[AmrasCalmacil]

The title says it all really, but to avoid getting shouted at: What're the adverts that you almost find yourself yearning to see when there's a break? For whatever reason.

For me it comes to a contest between this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUlk6sEs-A8
And this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMIVM0aouO0

My apologies if this has already been done, and I did search.

It just stuck in my ear and wouldn't go away, even though it hasn't aired in over a decade.

The best ad ever:

 

[Toners]

Pretty much any one of the old Honda ads, they're just so inventive
EDIT: the one above this... is awesome I love the last line of it x)

 

[Strong Intelligent]

Mocha Half-Caf latte Cheeno Ovec Neway Avec noir

MY MIND CANNOT FORM THESE WORDS! MY MIND CANNOT FIND THESE WORDS! IS IT FRENCH? OR IS IT ITALIAN? Uh, perhaps Fritalian?

Ah, gotta love it.

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

I can't find a video for it. But the hula hoops advert that was an adaption of the old cartoon "the cat came back".

 

[Jumping_Over_Fences]

These are my three favorite commercials of all time:

Spoiler: Big Bucking Chicken!

Spoiler: Skittles Talking Rabbit

Spoiler: Skittles King Midas

And for fun here is one that my friends and I quote all the time:

Spoiler: Walter Dos Drugs

Finding favourite adverts is a real challenge since there's SO many bad ones! There's threads like this over at DigitalSpy, and they're such fun seeing what everyone likes and hates.

Let's see, a Top 3 of favourite ads:

In 3:
Great music and a great ad. Who WOULDN'T want to ride a giant water slide home from work?

In 2:
I saw this ad when I was on holiday in Vancouver, and I LOVED it!!!

In 1:
Such genius with this ad. I even ordered a free DVD off the Honda website with it on!


Now, as an added bonus, I'll add one of my most HATED adverts. I can sum it up in 3 words, the worst 3 words anyone ever could hope to hear. "Poo...at...Paul's" *shudders*

 

[Amethyst Wind]

My favourite advert ever has to be one I saw about 8 years ago.

It's 30 seconds of an empty plastic cup rolling around on the ground. Then at the bottom of the screen these words appear:

"See, you will watch anything."

 

[Agent Larkin]

My favourite is this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0Cup0Id_u8
purely because it is funny.

 

[Golden Gryphon]

This is the best one that I've seen in a while. The other ones in this series are pretty good but this is my favourite:

I'm a fan of Ovenpride

I can only dream of getting something so barefaced and offensive onto daytime television.

Those adverts are everything they should be. Absolutely perfect.

Not sure if its real, but wow.

DAMN YOU! That was in my head for a good five years, now its got another five at least.

Also, how do I embed videos?

Bloody brilliant!

DAMN YOU! That was in my head for a good five years, now its got another five at least.

Also, how do I embed videos?

It's slightly complicated. You need to get the code for a video (let's use this one as an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyQa0kIWBQ0&)

We need to take the part after the ?v= bit (VyQa0kIWBQ0&) and then add it into the forum code "youtube=".

It'll look like this:
{youtube=VyQa0kIWBQ0&}
except with square brackets.

The result is

I'm not sure how other sites will fare.

Ads are the work of the devil, and nothing contained within them is ever interesting, innovative or funny. Beyond that of possible 'kitch' value.

The "Carlsberg don't do _____" series. I think my favourite was the Carlsberg don't do flatmates. Having a flatmate who's a professional chef and insists on dong all the cooking would be so kick-ass.

And it was advertising...?

The stupidity of mankind
