I really love this advert

[LookItsMeAgain]

I really love the new Barclays advert with the kids.
"I didn't have calamari, so I'm not paying for calamari!"

I just love it!! They are great kids.

Do you have a favourite advert, either current or from the past that you just love?

Me too. "What are you, 7 ?' 😂

I love that advert too! 😁

I like it too. Makes it sound so silly in kids voices doesn't it.

I do have one which I really like but it's gone from my head right now. Hopefully someone else will mention it.

One I do like is at Christmas and it's the Coco Channel one with the dancing in the moon. Just love the song by Feist and the choreography.

Most ads now are so boring or annoying, the Barclays one is brilliant!
My all time favourites are:
The Frys Turkish Delight ad from the 80's.
The M&S Christmas ad with Sean Bean "Men Bearing Gifts"😉

I don't suppose anyone remembers the Rowntrees ad in the 90's with Kevin the fruit bat?

I enjoy the Nationwide ones - "Muffin me" and "Wedge me" - think it's maybe Dominic West, wonderfully expressive face! Fond of the Virgin walrus in the speedboat as well, but I hope it's just amazing CGI. I like walruses.

Ah yes, Barclays the ethical bank

Barclays is amongst several other major UK banks that are financially complicit in upholding illegal Israeli settlements. The 2023 Don't Buy Into Occupation report found that 776 European financial institutions are involved with 51 companies linked to illegal Israeli settlements.24 Jan 2024

Barclays boasts the most popular current account in the UK – but it's also the most unethical. The high street giant's record on the environment is so poor, it is dubbed the “dirtiest bank in Europe” by campaigners. In 2023 alone, Barclays sunk $24.22 billion (£19.18 billion) into oil, coal and gas projects.26 Jun 2024

I used to love the ones for Halifax. They build a car from jelly and cake and there was one with a house full of people too.

Thanks for your input @GrowAndGreen but I didn’t say that I liked the Bank or their policies or business practices.

I like the advert.

Am I allowed to post that without it turning a thread into a political commentary on the dealings within the business perhaps?

That (unnecessarily) escalated quickly 😂

I love the Smarty mobile ones. Their facial reactions and expressions are soooo good!

"It's crypto only mate"
"For carrots?"
"And potatoes"

"Poached Smoke....Snowman's Bone...."

Hahahaha I posted about the Smarty Mobile ads but one of the words in the quote has tripped a spam alert!

Hopefully MN will review and re-instate it.

In the meantime..... Poached Smoke? Snowman's Bone?

I like the mobile / wifi ad. EE?
Where the teens are out and they call / text their parents at the end of the night on way home. It just sums it up.

Also like the Barclays ad (but not the bank...)

They did well with the Big moment where the girl becomes a grown up.

I love the EE ads too @Pinkfluffypencilcase All the different songs, and moods, work really well. Great marketing team who thought that up.

This:

A short lived advert for American Express.
It made me laugh out loud.
The actor who played the Deliveroo character had so much charisma and presence.

I love the Boots one where the mum 'forgot' to bring the hiking boots bag. Her face when she's settled in her chair just cracks me up.

Yep!!

I love the dog in the flash adverts, I'll stop fast forwarding through the ads if I see one!

I watch nearly everything recorded, so rarely see adverts. I'll have to look some of these up.

Was it AA?
With the 'mop' dog on a yellow chair enjoying the wind from a fan in it's face.
Always made me smile

I liked the Specsavers ad where the vet tries to treat a fur hat thinking it's a cat. Always made me smile.

I dislike the bank one with the kids. Took me ages to work out what they were saying. Still struggling with the couple in the supermarket.

She says that's for crumpets sweetheart. I am impressed with the fed up face of the cashier.

The Cushelle toilet paper ad with the koala. Specifically the one where he steals the Cushelle van and speeds off.

i like the Barclays ad too.

Me too , it's fabulous, the calamari is just brilliant

I like the Twix ad with the camping twins and the bears. It makes me laugh every time I see it
