What adverts do people find funny, sad, or even makes you want to buy a product or ones that are really annoying???
I think the one for Diet Irn Bru is funny.
The ones for the SSPCA are really sad.
I can't be bothered with the ones for Insurance ect...

Seen one for Honda yesterday that was very good.
The Peter Kay ones are always a laugh.

The insurance ones are really annoying......you have people walking onto the screen at a funny angles as if they're going to walk on past the camera! Then they always say, "Did you know you could save money on your car insurance....." :p

Love the sinex advert on tv.I can imagine me throwing a wobbler on the floor in the co-op a lot of parents can sympathise with this scenario one for the anti smacking brigade to watch.

Whats with the Sheilas wheels ad, honestly, who would trust a company with a name like that? grr lol
But there's one where a guy has just put in a lifting bar in a doorway and you think its gonna fall, but he just smackes his head off the roof is hilarious!

Sheilas wheels? Well the tunes catchy, but perhaps that's just me reliving my youth! :o
There was a car advert a while back with a car on a skating rink.
It had a very strident tune which pounded in my head. All it did was remind me what a terrible hangover felt like!

We had an ad for Toyota Hilux that was banned in NZ for a short time, till the courts ruled that a word used in it is not a profanity, but merely a New Zealand colloquialism.
The ad is hilarious and a link to it may be found here: http://www.gotournz.com/virtualvideo

Click the link in this part of the page:
"And by popular request the famous, or perhaps infamous, Toyota ad.
A true kiwi classic.
Movie .mov format, 1Mb. Mac and PC. Quicktime required."

The ad is still banned in Australia.

I think its the tennants advert the vodoo one with the lady shaking the can and crushing it and throwing it.

Saw the Honda ad with the choir for the first time last night - it's amazing. Could be a programme by itself.
