Blackfox Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 In conjunction with Monsieur EEvils's thread, name those adverts that you love. My nomination: Honda's the Impossible Dream Great soundtrack, great advert and another quality Honda advert. These guys are awesome at making commercials.
Arragaun Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 I first saw this set of adverts when they were all spaced out across the breaks and they really bugged me cause I never saw the end. But then I saw the full one and it does quite rock. I can't think of any adverts that I like, though that one where the Audi catches, kills and eats all the other cars like a spider is quite cool visually.
Schizoid Man Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 So bad it's good is the compensation claim one you always get on GMTV breaks, with the lie detector, for the immortal hammy lines: "Will I be recieving 100% of the compensation?!"..."Yes." genius. and then the shit "nice tie" thing ruins it
Pit-Jr Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 Though i have no urge to buy another phone, this commercial was right funny http://www.tubespot.com/index.php?spot=ampd-trynottodie&bw=hi
EEVILMURRAY Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 Dammit Dutch! You just had to lower the tone didn't you... Well since it's here one hearing advert I did find entertaining, where this dude's washing his car and mistakes what's said to him as some form of alcohol.
Stocka Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 I like that guiness advert where it is going back in time really fast from like cave men to fish and the song is going something like "come on and swim to your daddy"
DiemetriX Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 One of the best has to be this one: Nintendo commercial http://www.youtube.com/watch.php?v=6UAmSctWtQk&search=nintendo
AshMat Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 I totally love this ad, it makes me lauhg every time it comes on: http://www.visit4info.com/details.cfm?adid=27309 raaaarrggghhhh
bob Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 One of my favourite ever adverts was for the original xbox, and there was a maggot....that danced....cant remember much else.
mario114 Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 I like that guiness advert where it is going back in time really fast from like cave men to fish and the song is going something like "come on and swim to your daddy" I also like that one, that tone is quite cathcy.
Destiny Blade Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 i agree with retro lover and the guy in the ad looks like one of my friends
Letty Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 http://gprime.net/video.php/peugeotstyle - this is the best advert ever!!! His expression when he looks back at his finished work, its priceless!!!
jamesy101 Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 It hasn't been on television this year but find 'Cog' online. It is the Honda one where it says 'isn't it nice when everything just... works?' sheer brilliance. They managed to get it all to work too. The Wallace and Gromit approach to advertising.
Ice9 Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 I love the George Foreman grill one, it totally cracks me up when at the end he says "I'm so proud of it, I put my name on it!" Makes me laugh anyway. Also the long Stella one with the ice skating, great music and its really well done. Gets a little tedious though, but wtill great.
DiemetriX Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 This banned Xbox 360 commercial made my day http://www.youtube.com/watch.php?v=WnpGtHq7Z0U
Bowser57 Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 This banned Xbox 360 commercial made my day http://www.youtube.com/watch.php?v=WnpGtHq7Z0U I'm fairly sure that was never banned as it was never meant as a TV ad, just an online one that managed to stir up a little bit of controversy.
bob Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 I love the George Foreman grill one, it totally cracks me up when at the end he says "I'm so proud of it, I put my name on it!" Makes me laugh anyway. That is a truly hilarious ad, especially to me and my friends, as we have a burmese friend who talks and acts just like that.
Dyson Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 The Foreman grills, Honda ads, X360, and the banned one. They all rock :P The Guinness ad grew on me, that track is catchy. As for the compensation one with the lie detector, all of those adverts make me want to smack my head on the table extremely hard :P
Stocka Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 One of my favourite ever adverts was for the original xbox, and there was a maggot....that danced....cant remember much else. OMG thats the most amazing advert EVER. I remeber the tune. du-dudu du du-du It was so fucked up and weird
Letty Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 That ocean finance advert, with the guy stranded on an island, and the ocean finace boat saves him. Its just so elaborate for an loan company.
mario114 Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 This banned Xbox 360 commercial made my day http://www.youtube.com/watch.php?v=WnpGtHq7Z0U I think it's quite cleverly done, and the cherful tune counters what could be considered a bit contriversial.
dukkadukka Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 that sony television one with the bouncy balls is beautiful, and the song is called "heartbeats" and it's by a man called jose gonzales if anyone else wanted to download it. in casethere are any other songs in adverts you'd like to download, you can probably find out what it's called at http://www.commercialbreaksandbeats.co.uk/index.asp
BlueStar Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Dammit, scrolled down all the posts, just about to post about the Sony bouncy balls one and someone beat me to it! George Foreman cracks me up too. The advert I am so utterly sick of it's unbelievable is the WKD blue panda pop advert with the 2 blokes racing to the fridge in slow mo. How come they're still running it, they wanked it dry months ago, and it wasn't funny in the first place. It's on every single break on Sky Sports. My mate went and lived in America for 8 months, came back and the first thing he said when he met us in the pub and looked at the TV was "Is that bloody advert still on?!"
BlueStar Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Ocean finance adverts at least have some redeeming features. They surprise you with each new set by doing what you would think was impossible, getting even uglier people to interview. And they expect you to take financial advice from the interviewees, people who got themselves into so much debt that they had to take out a high-interest loan secured on their home that they'll be paying off for the rest of their natural life!
