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?)

The Verisure Alarm add, two couples talking about alarms, one woman says they should get one. I don't know why but she really annoys me, I get so wound up every time I see her.
I like the Haribo one with the policemen in a car.

I like the Aldi ones. They have one just now where a woman goes in disguise so no one knows she shops at Aldi, quite funny.

I like the Halifax one, where an older lady goes out to the market, chats to stall holders, then sits on a bench which is obviously a memorial seat to her late husband. She has a bunch of flowers with her. She looks pensive but serene, then a little toddler runs up and hugs her, followed by his mummy, the older lady is his granny.

One that really annoys me lately is Hello Fresh, where they try to tell you that it’s going to save you money because you won’t be wasting food. ‘Less waste equals more money saved!’ Or words to that effect.
And so by implication saying that wasting a lot of food is perfectly normal.

Can’t think of any that I actually like, sorry! Mind you we very often record and whizz through them.

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

I didn't know that. Thanks. (Religiously watched Corrie for 40+ years, and for no reason stopped, went cold turkey with Corrie and EastEnders, and have never watched them since!)
