The Mag video ad you like or hate the most?

I really hate the Harvester advert, the one with the two kids pretending to be chefs. :mad:

There is one with a nice uplifting song, but I can't remember the advert, think it was mostly shown on the click to wins.

    Yes, the Harvester one, and that woman (can't remember her name) who's going out with the F1 racing driver...

    have at least 5 mags open at same time so never watch or listen to the vids, can see which has finished by the speaker disappearing from the top. Life is too short to watch ads

    I never intend to watch them, I sometimes forget to mute my speakers and then catch a glimpse of one ad as my tired old PC struggles to load the next tab.

    I'm using an adblocker so 99% of the time the video doesn't play, it just skips to the confirmation page. Helps speed things up a lot.

    I do the open all in different tabs thing too - click answer hit enter, then ctrl-tab, onto the next one. By the time I've done them all the 1st videos have finished and most of the later-opened ones often finish while I'm closing the 1st tabs, If not I just open the next mag's tabs then go back to them.

    I use Adblocker so I don't even see the ads, just a black square for a second or two. :D

    I have each comp open in a separate tab and, before I installed AdBlocker, I used to just mute the sound and click 'submit' and then switch to the next page and click 'submit' and switch again. By the time I'd submitted for each comp, the first one's video had finished, so I'd just go back and close the pages one at a time.

    Now I have an adblocker, it's even quicker - speed-comping!
