What adverts on TV do you like or dislike?

I like the one for McCain chips, with all the children (although it sometimes makes me want to cry)

I hate the one for McDonald's, with all those people laughing. I like to see people being happy, but find it so irritating as it seems to go on for ages (does anyone actually get so excited about burgers?)

I hate the one with Phillip Scourfield advertising Craft Gin club delivery , and Emmon Holmes on the two adverts he does , I just find them both very irritating .

I love the full Ocado one

Juliet27 Sat 10-Jul-21 12:00:44

I never tire of seeing the AA dog. Always makes me smile.

jaylucy Sat 10-Jul-21 12:07:26

Ocado one is good.
The Sum Up one (oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo) really irritates me as does the Quick books one.
Oh and the yodelling Dominos one ! How can the same yodel mean different things? Why wasn't the elderly lady invited to join in ??!

I was watching one of the Flemish channels very late, after 12 one night and saw an odd add??
I did not quite understand it so re-wound , umm it was an add for Lubricant sexual, it had a woman lying next to her cat on a bed. Using the lubricant on herself !!!!!!
Yuck, bad taste, yes.

I just love the advert with the cat walking to the song*Walk Tall* it advertises a credit card I think but it reminds me of my own cat.

Me too glammanana.
I dislike any adverts on personal hygiene especially around teatime.

A couple ads actually entertained me until they cut the amusing bit! The irritating little brother who pinches a Kipling cake for his sister (he flicks her light off). The feisty girl who gets a quid for taking the trolley back (then dad asks for the coin)

I am currently hating the one where they show lots of different people laughing, don't even remember what it is advertising. One day it followed a particularly sad documentary and it struck me as being in very poor taste.

Find it interesting that many personalities working full time on tv pay lip service to the current plight of their colleagues and yet are so unbelievably over exposed on adverts and other programmes as well as holding a regular slot of their own.

Chardy. The boy who takes the cake for his sister is Will in Corrie. Good lucking boy.

Shinamae Sat 10-Jul-21 13:52:57

I love the fairy liquid one with the baby on the sponge, I think that is very inventive and clever…. Can’t stand any adverts with Philip Schofield in or Ryland (is that his name? The one with the extraordinarily white teeth!)

sodapop Sat 10-Jul-21 15:07:01

Same here Shinamae seems like Schofield will do anything for money.
My husband moans about the Domino pizza ad every time it comes on.

Kate1949 Sat 10-Jul-21 16:59:51

Anything with Phillip Schofield in it.

Calendargirl Sat 10-Jul-21 17:50:41

I also like the Fairy one on the sponge.

The boy pinching the cake for the sister, don’t particularly like it, but a) I think he and the girl look alike, are they brother and sister in RL and b) why was the girl not at the party?

Kate1949 Sat 10-Jul-21 17:54:10

That boy is in Coronation Street now Calendar and is a teenager!

Calendargirl Sat 10-Jul-21 17:56:57

Yes, I recognised him when he first appeared in Corrie.

I posted on another thread that I think Sam from Corrie features in another advert, can’t recall what for. He looks younger, same sort of hairstyle but no specs.

MagicWand Sat 10-Jul-21 18:04:15

I find there’s a few really unusual ones that have caught my notice at present. The Green Flag one makes me smile, the Malteser ones are a bit groundbreaking (using sign language, the maternal mental health ones, etc) but funny. Yes, love the full length Ocado one too.

LittleToasterx Sat 10-Jul-21 19:26:51

I hate that new Lynx advert. I think the slogan is Smell Iconic.

Blinko Sat 10-Jul-21 19:36:24

I like the one with the 'Duke of Hastings' (Bridgerton) in. I think it's for an Audi 4x4, but that's by the by...

grannyrebel7 Sat 10-Jul-21 19:40:47

I love the one for Lloyd's bank with the beautiful black horse galloping along the beach.

mokryna Sat 10-Jul-21 20:31:47

Dislike any advert that shows no respect to others, especially children vis a vis adults. Please and thank-you also go a long way.

Infinity2 Sat 10-Jul-21 20:32:17

grannyrebel7 - that’s my favourite too. I think it’s really beautiful.

Gwyneth Sat 10-Jul-21 20:40:29

Dislike the ‘Just Eat’ ones encouraging people to eat a variety of unhealthy fast foods. Surprised to see these adverts at Wembley too. Favourite advert is Lloyd’s Black Horse.
