What's your favourite advertisement on tv? Mine is for some pink liquid (I don't even know the name) that says "If you've got nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhoea" - the people all sing it grin

The one where the guy's TV is so realistic, a jungle frog lands in his orange juice and a tiger snatches his burger.
In thr early versions, he got shot with a blow dart at the end, but that seems to have been edited out.

Pepto bismol. And it’s just reminded me to get some! They’ve only recently started advertising it and I haven’t bought any for years…

A lot of adverts now are so crude. One I do like is Petplan, the little dog at the vets whose owner is overjoyed to see him well.

My favourite ads now are the ones that don’t happen due to subscription services but with a few exceptions most are tacky, crude annoying and unimaginative and without any catchy jingles even🤗

I blank off for the most part and can’t say I ve ever bought anything from watching an advert probably the only one that remotely amuses me is the two men whose voices are of children some sweets or other I think but I m not rushing out to buy any so they are lost on me sorry ITV can’t bear the sniffing crotch one think that’s disgusting

I don't like adverts nowadays and tend to avoid them. My favourite one of the past is the Smash potato one with the aliens.

Well I’ve just seen one with people saying bing bong squeeze me and I have no clue what it is for. Very annoying anyway

Just bored with backsides and women sitting on toilets. As for the adverts which spend time advertising something with some small print describing what it is shown in a flash and lost to me!
Seems as if not much effort has gone into a lot of them. Fed up with the funeral alternatives and the excitement they generate when signing up for them. Like the Head and Shoulders advert when the bloke says he doesn’t have dandruff. Also there is a rather unusual young man who moves his shoulders in an unusual manner in front of a train that has just come in and slides along the floor. Amuses me for some reason. Perhaps it’s because it doesn’t contain a bottom.
