Talking best/worst TV ads

Some TV ads that make me laugh:

The "Morning Fresh" ad where the guy washes his spanner and rocker cover in the dishwasher - classic (not that I condone the domestic violence involved - that hadta hurt!).

Also, the "BP Wildbean Coffee" ad - shame he chose the Calais over the XR (not to mention the Gallardo) but it does have nice cupholders. Electric windows - bzzzt, bzzzt, that just cracks me up.

As for the duds, any offers...

Any Bundy ad makes me laugh, my new fav is the one where Bundy Bear is doing like a bbqrobics class.

There was one last night that made me laugh but I seriously can't remember what it was. Can't have been that good.

I'm currently enjoying the motorola add where the kid is delivering newspapers, the guy with the phone throws it back without looking and knocks the little bugger off his bike.

All adverts without nudity, disgust and offend me.

Adverts with nudity, disgust and offend me, yet I cannot turn away.

I agree. Anyone that would waste 4 bucks on a ring tone has more $$ than sense. I don’t really watch TV at night, but I overhear this ad, and can't stand it.

At least with internet based ads you can block them, no ones worked out a way to block TV ads though, as far as I’m aware. We just mute the TV when ads come on - they are much louder than normal TV I reckon.

At the moment I have only seen that ad a few times, and the penguin rox! But after a little while I am sure, like all other ads, it will start to shyte me up the wall. Love the music though.

I still think the Toyota Bugger ad was the best ad of all time. If there's a show of adult ads (you know, the one with a Daddo on it) then I always watch them cos I get a good laugh

Yeah how bad is it that they turn up the volume in the ads!!!! They TV stations never used to do that, and you could put up with watching the ads - now I always change channel or mute it.

Supposedly that's illegal, but they do it anyway cos they know people leave the room during the ad breaks.

The K-Mart ads that had Rick Kelly on them last year would make me cringe.

*In best "Nerdy Krusty Burger guy" voice*

"Cutting the cost of living so you can get more out of life".

Man I want to punch him.

I have a couple of favs (all car related surprise surprise! lol)

* One of my favourites is the one where Barry Sheen & Dick Johnson are filling up at a Shell Servo. Barry continues to ask Dick to get different things as he is walking in to pay for the fuel. Dick asks "Anything else... A sock??" (or something along those lines, a few years back but a classic ad at that!)

* The recent Ford Courier ads and of course the Ford Falcon ad!

Worst are those rugs ads and that crazy frog ringtone.... ing_sm Grrr, they are annoying

Toyota- "World's Best Streetfighter" & "Make my Dinner ads" rocked as well as the Carlton Midstrength "Stay Just a little bit Longer" . The Black & White XXXX going off to war ad was pretty cool even though it wasn't funny

All Rug ads, bank and those AAMI Greenslip ads just annoy me to death & will be responsbible for me wearing out the volume buttons on my remote.

I think it was because of the complaints received due to the word "bugger".

That dog at the end was the show stealer I am still hunting the ad down on P2P.
