Hmmmm! That's interesting. I find them inoffensive but my darling wife shouts obscenities at the tellybox, even accusing them of using people of restricted growth to make the furniture seem larger.

They did actually(DFS) get pulled up for that,not sure if it was camera tricks or they built extra large furniture for the ads,but they fell foul of "Trade Descriptions" etc.

Really? I never knew that, but wouldn't put it past advertisers.

I want to poo at Pauls

And........

Have a happy period

The only advert I like is for ITV where the bairns on the beach throw stones at the sky and the sunshine breaks though. Awwwwww

First time I saw it I thought it was a trailer for a film.

It's really well filmed, it's lovely

It is lovely - especially when they ask the man (forgot his name) 'what's for breakfast? - Mackrel' he answers.

I'm not the maternal type, but I still really like the chuckling babies ad.

Actually, I do like that one too, one of the babies (with an amazing laugh) reminds me of Charles Kennedy.

Yes! The one at the very end of the ad, with the deep, rich, fruity chortle.

That's the little fella!

Don't know if it's been mention yet but the envirophone.com ad drives me up the wall. And the Poo at Pauls house

Poo at Paul's is a dead cert for hatred in the ad dept ella! Who the heck likes this ad? Family and friends of the actors?

Envirophone is so annoying too! I wouldn't send my phone to them any more than I'd send any gold to the said ads!

It must be my age of 51 - but after having had three kids who have just left home (except nmiddle one/daughter) I don't want grandchildren etc, I want a life - am I so selfish? I had no one to look after my three and I was a registered child minder for seven years/lecturer etc , I want a child free zone for a few years.

The poo at pauls is vile,It always seems to come on when I am eating, but the advertisers must be laughing up there sleeves,as the idea was to have us all talking about it and remembering the product.

Indeed

Think I am the ONLY person EVER to remember an ad from years and years ago, that was on only at Christmastime; It was a snowglobe with a little snowman inside. He had a very sad face, till he drank a can of beer (think it was heineken or carlsberg, or something,) and then once he had drunk it, he turned into a happy snowman with a smiley face.It was so cute None of my friends remember it. Do any of you lot?

Yes, it was one of the Heinekan ones - refreshes the parts other beers cannot reach. Like that Wata in Majorca one.

I quite like the Virgin one where the girl walks into a film studio....

ooh, thank gawd for that. Was beginning to think Id made it up myself! Thought it was heineken. They should be allowed to bring it back

Yep, go compare pisses me off, and also the oreo one, (why do you have to LICK it?!!!)

And if I see another CASH for gold ad I am gonna kill something

I get annoyed by the meercat one too, even though everyone seems to love it.

The poo at pauls' one

That stupid woman on the kitkat advert who pulls pranks on her hubby, letches over 'fit' men and buries family dvds in the garden.(Though to be fair that is the 'sponsored by kitkat' ad that is on during loose women.')

The HAPPY PERIOD ones As if!!!

But there has been a serious lack of LOAN ads this past year hasn't there, probably coz they know no-one can or will pay it back! The darned things advertising gold have replaced these gems.

I LOVE the virgin on me too, and yes I do remember that one with the snowglobe LSM.

I know there are more.

Bit confused. How would having grandchildren stop you from having a life? Having your OWN children doesn't stop you having a life, so how or why would having grandchildren stop you from 'having a life?' They wouldn't be yours, or your responsibility. Must admit that I found that statement hard to understand.

Loathe the meerkat.
Love GoCompare - "Over there; over there" - "He's only a tenor (tenner)."

Forgive me for not checking every post in this 5-page thread, so don`t know if this has been mentiopned.
Do you know what was the first ad to be shown on UK television?

I don't actually Brisket. Sorry.

The first commercial shown on TV in Britain
was for Gibbs S R Toothpaste and was transmitted at 8.12 pm on Sept 22 1955 during a variety show hosted by Jack Jackson.

It's an old quiz question. For some reason I thought it Colgate but I googled to make sure.

Poo at Pauls
and one I haven't seen for ages with an oriental kid on sitting on the toilet saying "it stinks it stinks" - it was for some air freshener or something.

DFS
SCS and we have another one CSL - all sofa ones

Hate, hate, hate Poo at Pauls, and the gold ones

Love the meerkats!! and the Whiskas advert with the little boy and the silver tabby.

Like Talk Talk (because I like the song)
Aviva - Green Army!! It just makes me laugh

Haagen Daas (sp)

The tune

I find the one with the Scarecrow being given a packet of Starburst, but not being able to reach them, very distressing.

I can`t stand the "poo at Paul`s house" advert and I`m sick of all the ones about buying gold.

I do like the Coke adverts at Christmas and the ones with the Diet Coke man.

My favourite ad is the Virgin Airlines one, with the Frankie Goes to Hollywood track playing, and all the glamorous hostesses in red suits. Amazing!

All the adverts on 5 around the Wright stuff. It's the gold jewellery adverts, or ambulance chasing one's. The latest are re-morgaging one's or cash until pay day. They really are sleezy, who do they think are watching the wright stuff.

That's all I can think of for now.

I love the advert for 'Randoms'

Now then monkeysocks, turn right at the trombone carry on down the icecream cone, drive into the saxaphone and Bobs your teapot. (or something like that).
