    Anybody remember "book early" the fred pontin's ad..where he says "book early" then remains in the bonkers pose and facial expression for too long!!! I and my family still laugh about that one...

    MY VERY FAVOURITE is the credit card ad which features DON THOMAS "come on train" (northern soul for those who don't know) it makes me want to dance...now where did I put my talc and polyveldts...:rotfl:

    Not sure why, I think it's the music but I like the Berocca advert. Have tried to find out what song it is but can't find out.

    Hate the Swift Cover adverts most of all.

    Absolutely love the PG Tips adverts - Johnny Vegas and the monkey are great together

    I can't really think of any I hate, but I suppose I'm a bit bored of the Norwich Union changing to Aviva ads.

    I absolutely hate the Cadburys adverts with the kids and the eyebrows. So much so that when I was in a cadbury outlet shop I had to leave when they played the song from it.


    I agree - this one makes me feel physically sick. Its enough to put me (a confirmed chocoholic) off chocolate for life!

    my favourite of all time are the carling black label adverts with the german saving all the bouncing bombs from hitting the damn.

    brilliant.
    helpful tips
    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)

    Sheila's Wheels advert - or more precisely, the ruddy tune. You have never seen me move so fast to hit the mute button!

    I so agree - I wouldn't even approach them for a quote because I hate that advert so much. What is it with motor insurance that they make such dreadful adverts? :confused:
    Numpties...I'm surrounded by them...save me...:whistle:
