Oh I'm sure that even for those of u who don't watch the tv, as much as some of us do, that u must have a favourite advert, either an old classic, or a new one.

My new personal favourites are the Budweiser adverts and the Car ad that stars John McEnroe getting into a fit over a parking ticket.

I like the commercial for insurance where a gray squirrel runs into the road infront of an oncoming car. The car swerves to miss the squirrel and wrecks. Then another squirrel shows up and they do high fives and chuckle in the middle of the road :wah:

I love the FedEx commercial with the dinosaurs. Also, there is a commercial for talking to your kids about drugs. Teenage boy comes home and dad has the family room set up so that they can "chat" about the birds and the bees - complete with visual aids and books.

I HATE the car commercial where the guy says goodbye to his wife, puts on a helmet and parachutes off the cliff they live on to get down to his SUV. It leads one to ask - how does he get UP the side of that cliff at the end of the day?

I like those as well Arny....in fact most of the car adverts are good. I gues they've got all the money behind them.

That's AWESOME!!

mine is an older commercial. i can't remember what it is for. i think it's a camera commercial. Anyway...

a family is walking around the Pacific Northwest taking photos. There's some bushes rustling up ahead so everyone gets really quiet. the something walks across the path and Dad snaps a bunck of photos.

Later that week the family is home playing in the backyard and Big Foot jumps out, snaps a thousand pics with the flash and hollers,

"HA! See how YOU like it!" then runs away.

Has anyone seen the recent advertisement for Quinn's? If so, what do you think?

I don't know what it is but the voiceover/song really fascinates me.

My favs are the ID theft ads. Where they have people "Mouthing" the words of the thief. the 2 older ladies are Hysterical talking about the motorcycles.

There's a new Schweppes advert where there are some cocktails being made and it's the first in ages that's really made me stop and watch

Ok, What is up with those insurance commercials with Little Richard and Chario. You know where they interpret for the "non celebreties"? I don't get it.

Uncle Kram · Post by **Uncle Kram** » Wed Aug 02, 2006 1:56 pm

I also love the one where a puppet starts dancing, then theres some animated figures that look like the puppet that join in, and then a bloke who looks the same joins in and they're all dancing in the same awkward way as the original puppet. Some beer ad. Can't remember which one

or the one with loads of coloured balls pelting down the hill - can't remember what it's for though.
Think it's for Sony TV's, love it as well and the music's good too.

My current fave is the Hotpoint Aqualtis ad, where the clothes inside the machine look like underwater sealife.

I like the Dawn dish detegent ads, you know the one where they wash the dirty dish in the soap and then it ends up clean.

That is so wacky !

RedGlitter · Post by **RedGlitter** » Wed Aug 16, 2006 5:22 pm

My favorite ad was on long agoa nd I can't recall what it was for. All I remember was two old guys beating each other over the head with their walkers. It cracked me up every time.

Shweet tatersalad · Post by **Shweet tatersalad** » Wed Aug 16, 2006 7:40 pm
