This is a question Best and worst TV ads

"I'd like to give that dodo off the 5 Alive adverts a good kicking," says tom.joad. And luckily, there's tasty, tasty Cillit Bang to clean up the blood stains when you've finished. Tell us about TV adverts.

Senokot or other gut unbunger adverts...
Does anyone else automatically insert the words "Shit yourself" between "go on" and "enjoy your day"?

Must just be me then... :)

The car ad shown during 'you've been framed' where the blonde loses her skirt when the car drives off. I get a twinge every time.

Telecom XT
When Telecom launched their new XT cellphone network here they ran a few ads featuring Richard Hammond demonstrating how awesome the new network was by, say, texting a photo from one cellphone to another and racing a jetboat against the signal to see which would reach the finish line first. It was among the most asinine advert I have ever seen (and adverts can be pretty fucking asinine) and, apparently, half the country agreed with me. Funny thing is, the XT network turned out to be amazingly shit and now Telecom has extreme eggs on their face.

I hate the ad too much to searcch for it on YouTube, but it shouldn't be hard to find if you like seeing ol' Hammond act like a wanker.

Also, that fucking Cadbury ad with those creepy kids and their wriggling eyebrows. URGH.

Lady fingers reminded me of this
African ad for condoms..

I had never seen it before this week but it's a great commercial.
Although suggesting this is a good idea to try on the streets of Bristol/Liverpool/Manchester etc, may get you an umbrella in the nuts.

Or one in the ego....
Especially if you are the bloke standing next to him going...^^ WHAT? where do you get XXXXL condoms from? and why do you need them?

African Ad: Surge Laxatives
Africa has a rather strong tendency to directness in metaphor. It's quite refreshing. Consider how laxatives are sold on western TV: always a woman, tasteful beige tones, flowers, showers of petals, talk of confidence and empowering. Not so for the African market.

Picture this, if you will...

Various people depicted struggling at tasks, a runner lagging in a marathon, miners deep in a tunnel picking at unyielding rocks...

Surge!

The runners and miners knock back a frothing brew of the laxative. The runner races ahead of the pack with an ecstatic expression. The miners pack explosives around the rocks, and detonate it, blowing clumps of brown matter down the tunnel into the viewer's face.

Surge! (It has the fizzy steam!)

I only ever saw it once, and dear Satan, I wish I had recorded it.

Some people say Japanese ads are weird.

But I think this gets the message of road safety across effectively.

those two possibly swedish birds
advertising smirnoff ice. they had some poor old bloke dangling his tackle in the sea, so some crab-thing could latch onto it and they could catch it. two bits that made me giggle were when they said "Bjorn, let the bait wiggle!" and when they're describing the crab or whatever latching on and say "and then, knips!"
i don't know why, but that knips thing had me laughing like a loon. i still use that word.

Not a TV ad but
The promo for the Insider club at Showcase Cinemas must be an all time low. Just-out-of-stage-school 'actors' with the least convincing smiles do 'charming' body language. Terrible, just terrible.

Tango advert - YOU NEED IT BECAUSE YOU'RE WEAK
Glued to the sofa, stoned as can be - this pops on, showing sizzling bacon in a pan with overhead fan lazily chopping the air, a slow zoom in to the bacon - then someone shouting YOU NEED IT BECAUSE YOU'RE WEAK over a picture of a can of tango.

Someone tell me this wasn't my imagination.

EDIT : found it - www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bl-esOcmPC0

Dating sites adverts.
Why are the couples in televised dating sites adverts meeting each other in shoe shops, on bus stops, in elevators, etc? Surely to effectively advertise their business it should be clients scrolling through profiles online and leaving messages about sucking cocks and enjoying tits? And what the hell is matching on the deepest level of compatibility?!

Radio
The most effective advert I have ever known is from a commercial radio station.
I would bet anyone from Aberdeen will confirm this....despite not having lived in the area for several years, I can still tell you that Thistle Windows phone number is Aberdeen 706555 and you get a ten year guarantee on their windows.
That fooking jingle playing every 5 minutes on Northsound has been permanently etched into my brain.

"Just call Thistle Windows Aberdeen 706 treble 5,
Thistle windows Aberdeen 706 treble 5,
You'll get a ten year guarantee on each window you buy,
Just call Thistle Windows Aberdeen 706 treble 5."
