Adverts we like

An Riabhach

Seeing as there is already a thread on ads we hate-and there are a lot of them-I just thought I'd start one on the ads we might actually like(this will probably be a short thread coz most of them are crap nowadays and the best are from decades ago).

I think the Snickers ads with Joan Collins are hilarious....
The one about broadband when he is trying to talk to his girlfriend on the laptop but her signal keeps breaking up and she is only getting bits of what her boyfriend is saying.....
Paul O'Connell doing Pinergy-priceless!!
The AIB ad where you see a helicopter view of Dublin's Custom House and George's Quay.....

What ads,if any,do ye like?

I generally like the ads for Gillette Venus where girls are showing off their freshly shaved legs. I love them ones. But sometimes I think my missus is looking at me as I'm looking at the telly to see if I'm enjoying it too much, so I do be a bit awkward looking at it. Sometimes I hurt my eyes as I'm pretending to be looking in the other direction. But I've nailed the technique now.

I always loved these two:

This one makes me laugh every time I see it.

The only advert i like is the Doritos advert with the Mexicans singing I Love Rock n Roll. The rest are spirit crushing LIIIIEESSS.

Aer Lingus - "You're Home 1990" - played it for my 11 yr old boy and he was wiping away the tears . Possibly the best Irish ad ever .

It's doing better then the previous 2 threads. Neither of them made it past the first page. :pac:

Adverts you like!

Adverts that you LIKE

I usually find that if I like the song - I will also like the Ad.

Bump!

How come the Ronseal ads don't feature this guy any more? He was perfect for them...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXznmGz2fy4

Perhaps his best performance, though, was this:

Other Guy: "I want a wood stain from Ronseal that lasts 5 years."
Him: "What you need is Ronseal 5 Year Wood Stain."
Other Guy: "Where would I find that, then?"
Him: "In a tin, with Ronseal 5 Year Wood Stain on it."

Zebra ad for Red Bull lol

Saw a lovely ad with no talking in it for Cesar Dog Food-with an old man and his little canine friend.There's a part in the ad where they are visiting a loved one in the graveyard-the old man leaves flowers on the grave and looks to be about to cry,and then the little dog starts licking his hand as if to say "Don't be sad".
Twould nearly bring a tear to a glass eye

Hey Tony
I like the things you do
Hey Tony
If I could I would be you
You are the one and only tiger
With the one and only taste
You know how to take a breakfast
And make it GREAT
Frosted Flakes
Are more than good
They’re Gr-r-reat!

In truth he should be shot on sight lest he hug someone!.

That new one for Specsavers is faìr funny-the one where me wan brings her big stereo to the old folks home,blares it out loud and starts doing all her dance moves,and the old people start copying her.....

And another one,I can't remember what tis about but a giant hedgehog jumps out in front of a car,kicks the car and the front of the car bumper falls off...

The new Specavers ad with the fitness class. Brilliant.

spank_inferno

I'm liking the new Audi Quattro ad.

I know 99% of Audis sold here are just pricey Skodas, however I think this ad works.

Their ad men always make the car kook great, add to that the growl of their v10/v8 engine with Daft Punk / Tron soundtrack under it...... works for me, makes em very desirable (if unattainable!)

wandatowell

I like the Specsavers ad, the one where the auld fella is sheering his sheep then he accidentally sheers his dog.


If you look closely at the end of the ad when the dog stops and he runs away from the old man, due to the way the dog is placed it looks like the poor dog is missing a leg.



Check it out the next its on.
