99% suck.

There's the Mainlander tradition of understatement exemplified... :D

694038 2008-08-14 03:54:00 I loathe any and all ads with babies or obnoxious children in them, especially those ridiculous Hyundai ads.

Love the gorilla/chocolate ad, and also the Whitakers chocolate ads, and also that Speights one with the chewing gum, brilliant!

The worst right now - probably Telecom's pathetic McCullough and Partners (or whatever the fake company is called) ad for their Friday drinks. Makes me want to puke every time it comes on!

Death and Taxes.

Possibly that saying is obsolete and should be updated to include Ads.

More interesting, in my humble opinion, is how much influence does the Ad(s) have over your life.

Take it this way:-
If the Xtra ad is better than any other ISP ad should I go with Xtra regardless?

Adverts are designed to bring your attention to new products so you will go buy the new product I would think. But also I have to say that some adverts are rather misleading at best. Quite a number use words like "more" or "better" and the first thing I think of is better than what? If my current products suit me then why would I spent hard earned cash on a so called different product?

I still like the TUI ads. But I don't, as a normal thing, go out and buy the TUI beer. This is mostly because I drink beer on very hot days but am just as happy with Whiskey & ice.

694040 2008-08-14 07:09:00 I rather like the Mitsubishi(?) ad where the son asks the father "Where did I come from?"

And yeah, the 2 bulls in the Toyota :lol:

Can't think of a worst one offhand

694041 2008-08-14 07:47:00 Can't think of any ads I like right now, but the one I absolutely hate is one which constantly plays a song which is just repeating "it ain't what you do it's the way that you do it" at full volume Agent_24 (57)
694042 2008-08-14 08:39:00 The Jeep Cherokee ad with the singing animals is not to bad.
