After PMSL yet again over the Anchor spreadable cows, I was curious if others were finding adverts pretty good at the moment.
I am loving the Anchor cows, The Ozzy I can't believe etc, The Ben Affleck Lynx, and the Honda ad just because it's clever.
Im so sad that I think adverts are great!

I hate the honda singing ad - have to mute the TV or change channel

I love the one with the fruit that's all carefree and happy and then flies up in the air and the grapes get pricked and all the fruit falls into the blender - I find that one strangely satisfying

I like the one for Jaffa cakes with the 2 friends laughing at their friend who has claimed to be stuck in a well.

oliveoil · 21/02/2006 14:13

and the Ben Affleck Lynx one

Flamesparrow · 21/02/2006 14:13

I keep thinking about the person who posted that their child keeps getting upset by the falling fruit one, and it seems cruel now

I love the Ozzy one... i read in the paper that it completely freaked him out making it

I am ashamed to say... the Sheila's Wheel's with the bloke singing along with them - I just like how high pitched he can go!!

I am pleased to see the Renault bum-wagging back in a new incarnation, how sad am I?
In fact I am so sad I didn't realise Deodorant Man was Ben Affleck

spursmum · 21/02/2006 14:14

The 'Vie' ad isn't it? the fruit one. Morbidly funny!!

I didn't see that Flamesparrow. Who was it?

Enif · 21/02/2006 14:14

deffo the ben affleck one

great

all other ads are deathly IMO

doormat · 21/02/2006 14:15

I like the ben affleck lynx ad

cant stand the mobile phone one where kylie is warbling ...switch me on...arrggghhhhh

Flamesparrow · 21/02/2006 14:15

Oh, and I could quite happily bash my fist through the screen with bloody Palmers cocoa butter... who in their right mind thinks telling pregnant women that stretchmarks are "ugly" is going to make them want to buy their products??? We want to be lied to and told they're beautiful.

spursmum · 21/02/2006 14:18

I don't need to be lied to. I didn't get any!! Ner Ner. BTW how are you feeling FS?

I hate that stupid toilet paper one with the baby .. its irritating

like the ben affleck one

NotQuiteCockney · 21/02/2006 14:20

The only advert I've noticed lately is the one about the fake Minis. That one cracks me up every time.

I had a friend who swore stretch marks were very attractive. Like brindling on a dog (which I quite like). Very sweet.

Flamesparrow · 21/02/2006 14:24

I like your friend! Don't care if they are really attractive or not, just don't want to be told that they are ugly. I've not got a great deal anyway.

Thankyou spursmum - very well phrased! I think I may be a tad hormonal .

Oh, and I don't remember who it was with the vie advert ... I know I replied, but can't remember who to!!!!

Dinosaur · 21/02/2006 14:25

The DSs and I like the one with the car that turns into a dancing robot - no idea what make of car it is, sorry.

cece · 21/02/2006 14:27

The rubber glove one that comes on Channel 5 - think they must be sponsering the programme.

Glove 1 - Ahhh fits like a glove

Glove 2 - You are a glove!

pmsl every time I see it. There are others but that is the best!

NotQuiteCockney · 21/02/2006 14:35

Flamesparrow, he really was quite convincing. Particularly as I love brindled dogs.

(It probably made it more convincing that he wasn't actually talking about my stretchmarks, we were just friends.)

spursmum · 21/02/2006 14:36

I know its not an advert but this new character for mobile phones makes me crack up.
The ugly teacups!! 'You is ugly!!'

Don't know if it's just in Scotland, but the Irn Bru ones get me in creases. It's the ones with Raoul (oh laydeez!). It's hilarious.

spursmum · 21/02/2006 15:15

Ah yes!! Watch Raul bounce!! PMSL

whats brindling nqc?

i cant stand the anchor cows - am i the only one who has noticed they have MALE voices but they also have udders? do the advert makers think we are daft

spursmum · 21/02/2006 15:20

I love the cows NP! Stephen Fry and Tony Robinson were perfect for the voices.

OP posts:
nailpolish · 21/02/2006 15:22

but they have UDDERS! so the voices should be FEMALE. or else make them bulls, but then what would they have to do with butter?
