Just saw one, for yoghurt, and it was a women bringing some bloke him prison his favourite yoghurt.

I mean really!

However, I do like Brian on confused.com ads, so maybe I like some craps ones.

I never see ads.
I record the few things I bother with and ff through the ads.
Unless I want a wee or a cuppa.

I love the 'sing it kitty'' ad for 3.

Toofattorun · 24/02/2014 20:57

Hotmad - Where is your full stop at the end of your sentence?

(Sorry, couldn't help myself)...

Pobblewhohasnotoes · 24/02/2014 20:58

I do wonder who approves some adverts. I mean the Calgon one for example, it's so awful. Which idiot thought it was a good idea?

ProbablyCaroline · 24/02/2014 20:58

Correcting spelling is not wanky. Refusing to admit you were wrong and not taking a learning opportunity is.

I have learned plenty on MN and wouldn't look down on someone who was ultimately helping me.

WhereDoAllTheCalculatorsGo · 24/02/2014 20:59

the haribo one has my mate Adam in it. Google him, he's a dwarf in The Hobbit and just fab.

Hotmad · 24/02/2014 20:59

Don't you mean that's okay....... (You forgot the apostrophe).

The three advert was amusing at first. I've become a bit 'meh' with it now. Ooh Walking dead has just started!

OwlinaTree · 24/02/2014 21:02

I don't like the haribo one. It reminds me of the online awareness one where the man is speaking in a child's voice about football medals or something. So it seems sinister to me!

I like the one with the little girl riding her bike and singing tho.

Ilovemydogandmydoglovesme · 24/02/2014 21:02

And who can forget the dancing chickens? Grin
