I hate cheap adverts (compare the market, insurance ads, wheretheresblametheresaclaim ads etc)
I hate stupid adverts - cadburys gorilla and drums. (i also hate people that like that advert - they're usually common)
I hate funny, wacky, zaney, smug, up their own !!! adverts
I like big budget professional adverts - made by a proper advertising agency. The Nike advert are always good and i currently like the Honda advert that uses lightbulbs to make pictures (Honda Insight). And the one a few year ago about the perpetual motion of car parts.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

I love the 118 247 ad too. Can't get the song (and the Magical Trevor song) out of my head most days.
At the moment I hate the ad for Vodafone where the guy in the car servicing place is miming to that "If I ruled the world" song. And the ad for X-Box 360 with the woman who slowly smiles but only one side of her mouth goes up is really creepy.0 -
I cant say that I really like any advert.
I really dont like those "Have you had an accident then let us make a profit out of you" adverts, or the "you are in debt let is dig you in deeper" adverts or the "anyone on the planet can be a driving instructor" adverts
I also cannot stand computer games adverts or mobile phone adverts that contain the phrase "simulated images or not actual game play".
My pet hate is also any beauty/haircare advert that says "X was styled with some natural extensions that were treated with x" as this implys that the product was carp and they wouldnt have it anywhere near them.BR 31/03/2009AD 31/03/2010 (hopefully)BSC number 257Barclays Cash Card Account with Connect Debit CardMycashplus card0 -

My all time fav is the Bouncing Balls in San Francisco (Sony Bravia IIRC)
Hate:
You buy one, you get one free
The car rental one with the bloke who used to be in Game On and his "Mum"0 -
I like the new Audi advert with the battles music - and the BMW art paint advert?0
