    They used to do adverts so much better years ago. My favourites were:
    • Humphreys (unigate milk)
    • Smash:D:D:D
    • Cadburys chocolate ........Ocassionally I still shout: Nuts, oh hazelnuts. Cadbury's take them and they cover them in chocolate. :o

    I hate (with a passion!) the Maltesers ads. The stupid incredibly childish woman who paints her daughter's face green, buries her OHs DVDs in the garden, tells him the ending of a book he is reading) needs sorting!

    Big time!

    I cringe every time the ad comes on.

    I am fed up of DFS ads but do like the Nikleback song ( Rockstar )

    The Persil "Oh mum" going back a few years is a laugh

    I hate the confused.com advert - "WOW the site is so friendly". However I must point out that I use confused.com every year and it does work.

    Hate any advert originally in a foriegn language which has been badly dubbed like Mr Muscle. Have you noticed he flies into the kitchen (somehow) but runs ouut. I prefer the original Mr Muscle adds with the skinny dude.

    Love Meerkat.com add and the website too

    Hate the envirophone adds with the ginger guy walking round his mansion attic to find an old phone so he can make a couple quid and then laughing as his devious plan comes to fruition and he gets a cheque for £32.

    Just like Becles I like the 118 24 7 Magical Trevor advert.

    Most hated, the crazy frog ringtone
  • I love the confused.com advert 'cause I know some of the people on it and it makes me laugh at how dorkish they are in it...
    I also adore the orange wednesdays adverts - ELPHABA! [Any Wicked fan will know what I'm on about ;)]

    I hate all the adverts that SHOUT.

    Loved the shivering dog advert but it was pulled because some people thought the dog was being abused!

    And the National Express advert where the Buck Palace guard trips the guy up.
