Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?

Frankly the worst ads at the moment are the Payday ones but the very worst at all times are the online bingo ads.I just want to scream.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?

I love the SAinsbury and Tesco Christmas Adverts just now. All centred around a happy family.
Tesco - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_4AOpcBwZ4
Sainsbury's - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49sKKbmuQCg

However I laughed my butt off at the KFC christmas advert.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLnEdyxYxVM

Took me a while to realise what it was actually for.

Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?

One of my all time favourites and still a surprisingly good example of video compositing.. Volkswagon's version of Singing in the rain.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gs_T_cEoX6I

Did anyone else see the LEGO ad break during Dancing on Ice tonight, thought the re-makes of the normal adverts were quite genius

As a child I used to love the smash advert the one where Martians are laughing at earthlings for peeling potatoes.

Yes it was just brilliant, I watched it on you tube as I missed it ... I was waiting for Injury Lawyers LOL ...

My favourite ad as a kid was the Smash one where Martians laughing at earthlings for peeling potatoes ...
