Adverts on TV are so shite these days that when i see a good advert it really makes me happy ;D
So this the ADvertisement Hall of Fame where all the good adverts live...
Have you seen the kitkat advert (I know its nestle grrr..) with the salmon? it ROCKS!!
"The salmon strives ever on towards it's goal - fighting the current of great rivers, struggling on its belly along rocks in shallow water and leaping up huge waterfalls. Finally... It reaches its goal, its absolutely knackered..
Then, it dies.
Remember - you are not a salmon. Have a break, have a kitkat."

Glad someone else can get excited about an advert ;D
I get TOO involved in adverts like the one where that man is trying to make his dinner (it's not even a particularly good ad..) and his dog eats the meat, the eggs roll on the floor and in the end he just eats the sodding potato things on their own and then the lid comes off the salt pot.. DOH!!
Or the crunchy nut cornflakes advert where he drops the milk jug on the floor - oh i wanna cry!

Did anyone see that really HORRIBLE advert for a magazine... It was one of those crappy gossip mags like OK or Heat or something and it was HORRIBLE... There was a woman sitting in her car reading the magazine and you could just see the front of the car.. then after it told you all about the magazine the camera moves back and it's a van that says Meals on Wheels and it cuts to an old woman sitting at her table with an empty plate and she looks out the window and then back at her plate and it mad me want to cry - it was like charity sad levels and it was for A STUPID MAGAZINE!!! We were going to complain but couldn't find the number for you know the place you ring about adverts... but anyway we never saw it again so I hope it was because so many people DID complain It made me angry grrrr....

I loved the advert for SKy Digital a few years ago (when it was new) Lots of TVs exploding... Was very artistic...

I liked the ITV digital ads with the monkey... ;D
*on telly* "The sausage starts life in the factory...." "Monkey, look at me monkey, We need more telly" "No silly man, we need BETTER telly" and so forth

Cold feet is worth watching just for the mini adverts ;D *rushes in* "Is there a doctor?" "Yes" "carpark now - *outside* You're blocking me in"
Tho' I preferred the old ones... " I can't go on!" *driven up to barrier*
I also liked the other ones - "Mini goes in search of the lost city... finds it." ;D *sigh* they're great...

This is oh so predictable, but the Guinness advert with the horses being the wave. I thought it was really cool.

I wasn't that impressed by that one... I'd heard loads of hype over how briliant it was, and then...
*splat*

That car advert.. Vauxhall one where all the kids are waiting outside school and he drives them round the block and they all look grumpy when he drops them off while his kid leans back looking smug... TYPICAL MAN!! Drives them round the block and drops them off in the same place he picked them up! Why not just take them home??? Oh, wait, no he's male...

That playstation two advert scares me, the one that doesn't tell you what its about where it has that scary woman staring at the screen who's face changes
I really don't like it, it scares me...
*shudder*
