Adverts that you love / drive you insane!

[VeryBerryCherry]

Oh this advert has got me sooo mad that I need to vent somewhe here...

My sister and I had always shared this thing for analysing adverts. Is this weird, or do you find yourself critiquing adverts or discussing what makes a good/bad advert?

At the moment I am currently quite angry about the Sugar Puffs advert.

I love the Mighty Boosh and all of its weird genius. And I've turned on the tv to see the Sugar Puffs have done the most pathetic rip-off in the attempt to be "on the pulse" of what's funny. Aww it's so bad I had to leave the room before I shouted and got angry! (6)

Seriously, who was the cretin who stood up in the ideas meeting andput that shambolic idea forward - they need a good slap!

Ahhhhhh... feel all better now. Thanks guyz >:D<

Oh and I found another one last night that was more disgusting than anything else.

Has anyone seen that Crunchy Nut advert where the woman is sitting in the car with a box of cereal and milk.

(I think it's actually and old advert)

And then she pours the milk in and then shovels it into her mouth!

Oh, it's so disgusting! Again - it's one of those where I get so embarrassed and disgusted that I have to leave the room.

Also, Mr VBC pointed out, where can you buy a glass pint of milk these days? (like in the Cornflake advert)

These golf GTI ads are probably the funniest thing I've see all morning.

I'm not sure whether to immmensely impressed they got Peter Stormare to appear in those, or actually quite sad that someone of his cult status has now sullied himself with something like this.

Mildly amusing.

Also after his car-related shenanigans in Fargo, I associate PS with mayhem and chaos, not at all a good vibe to be promoting a car with.

Anyone remember the WH Smith ads some time ago, that featured Nicholas Lyndhurst.

He played the mother, father and children in a family. Technically clever but just screamed incestuous relationship to me.

Of course the mighty John Cooper-Clarke did a few Sugar Puffs ads some time back. It may have been in the throes of his narcotic phase, but what the flip, I bet his motives were pure (he needed the money) and whoever suggested him at whatever ad agency, I say give that man a cigar. Just for once I'll resist my normal Hicksian tendency to suggest that he deserves to die.

The Mighty Boosh? Not watched it yet. I've a feeling in my water I won't like it.*
