AjcW Posted 16 July 2011 Posted 16 July 2011 Okay so we have had a few similar threads pop up in the past, but, as a self confessed advert geek(I literally have an opinion on every one I see ) I wanted to lay out a few categories and see peoples opinions all in one thread(and im horrifically bored and struck down by the man flu haa). So. Favourite: Guilty Pleasure: Most Hated: Pretty simple, feel free to post Youtube videos or just a description.
AjcW Posted 16 July 2011 Author Posted 16 July 2011 incredible advert Have to say I am a fan of the new skittles adverts. This is my all time favourite, and probably a lot of other peoples as well.
FoxesAreBlue Posted 16 July 2011 Posted 16 July 2011 Don't know if I can lost the video from my phne but the John smiths advert where he moves his mum into the old peoples home - quite old now but I bloody loved it!
Ford Super Sunday Posted 16 July 2011 Posted 16 July 2011 Cog is obviously one of the best ever, though when I read the behind the scenes stuff stating that it was done in two sections ruined the illusion for me. Therefore I have to pick this as my favourite.
Guest Bilo Posted 16 July 2011 Posted 16 July 2011 OK, favourite. Guilty Pleasure: Most Hated: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9N3biLxuO0&feature=related
MPH Posted 17 July 2011 Posted 17 July 2011 ok you got me on a role now... with the 90's retro adverts....
James18 Posted 17 July 2011 Posted 17 July 2011 Saw an awesome advert at the Cinema the other day. It's the new Sky Sports advert for the new season and it made me realise how much I missed football. Can't seem to find it anywhere though Anyone else seen it? It's basically shot's of fans chanting and cheering when they score....
Guest Bilo Posted 17 July 2011 Posted 17 July 2011 ok you got me on a role now... with the 90's retro adverts.... Brilliant ad that one. Much better than the acid trip ones they did a couple of years back.

Nick Posted 17 July 2011 Posted 17 July 2011 Agree, however also think that advertising is probably one of the greatest forms of art in history.
Finnegan Posted 17 July 2011 Posted 17 July 2011 And if that's true then it's tragic that we're so driven by money and commerce these days that some of our most creative, funny or entertaining minds are currently selling, selling, selling for a living instead of expressing themselves.

Put wonderfully... there is creativity in advertising, BUT, it is creativity to order.
millzi Posted 17 July 2011 Posted 17 July 2011 This has to be one of the WORST adverts I have ever seen, every time it comes on I have to look away or change channel, it just infuriates me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnAk7Bmp-l8 "But only one thing can cool your mengines" - I mean c'mon, what kinda fckin' line is that!? Except from the woman of course It is so cheesy and awful though.
MikeyT Posted 17 July 2011 Posted 17 July 2011 I'm sure a few of us on here are old enough to remember this advert. Bring it back i say! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqBa7eay6Fo Why do we have chuffing Ronald Mcdonald and the Japanese get her!
Nick Posted 17 July 2011 Posted 17 July 2011 It's more manipulative than that. It's not just images for sale. And if that's true then it's tragic that we're so driven by money and commerce these days that some of our most creative, funny or entertaining minds are currently selling, selling, selling for a living instead of expressing themselves.
Phube Posted 17 July 2011 Posted 17 July 2011 And if that's true then it's tragic that we're so driven by money and commerce these days that some of our most creative, funny or entertaining minds are currently selling, selling, selling for a living instead of expressing themselves. And I'm sure you get paid in fresh air, love and creativity!
AjcW Posted 17 July 2011 Author Posted 17 July 2011 Is much as I respect finnegans points let's not spoil a light hatted thread with politics, I'm with Nick on this anyway, and I hope to be creating things like this in a few years! Some class ones posted so far, and some horrors keep it up guys! Stupid iPhone I clearly meant hearted
