Adverts...the good, the bad and the just plain weird

Postby JAS » Thu Feb 05, 2009 1:41 am

People often say the ads are better than the programmes...know any good ones, classics, truly awful ones...have a YouTube moment and share.

I reckon Cadbury's have lost the plot with this new one...kids from the Village of the Damned...if I'd had kids like these I take 'em into a forest and leave 'em there 8-[

...and probably the greatest ad campaign ever...

The worst,the very very very worst. The current Crown Lager add, "Start something special", like what? Make a beer that is as good as the bottle and label ( and price ) suggests it should be? How's that for a start.

i think those commonwealth bank ads with the cricketers are appalling & make no sense at all
i thought secret groups were a thing of the past, well not on websites anyway

What about the recent ads with the voice over (obviously from the Eastern states) that tell us there is a sale on at The-bar-ton :roll:

I like this one for the Lancer that they've started showing here...I think the moral is make sure you understand the question first ;)) ;)

What about the bizaare Corolla Ad campaign where everybody is dressed up as cats, and one cat steals the car after fighting all the other cats in a pinball parlour, with other cats watching serving food from a big buffet?

If anybody can talk me through that, I'd like to know what's going on :shock:
