TV Ads
How do they even get those cows to do such cool stuff on the Cravendale ads? I found a site here that lets you watch the bottom two (the latest 2) for free.
I generally buy normal milk, but that advert at least makes me remember Cravendale.
Also, the good old copier paper ad, and this "are you sure you're not lost" advert made me laugh (not seen it on TV).
What makes adverts stick in people's (your) mind? Humour works for me, but generally I then just remember the advert and not the logo.
( This one is pretty good too - "use condoms")

Re: TV Ads
That was cunning.
Being a member for two years, making over a thousand posts, joining PA Team, and all a setup to advertise milk on the board
Anyhoo, tv-ark has lots of old good ones (realplayer/real-alternative required). It's surprising just how many of their annoying jingles are in your head.

Re: TV Ads
It was a cunning plan, and you saw right through it . I was hand-picked 3 years ago after they decided these boards were perfect for milk advertising.
But seriously, those cows rock! They look better than the USA's trained dolphins

Adverts are shit, but I'll make an allowance for ads which have fit women walking around in their underwear.

Re: TV Ads
Half the adverts on TV seem to work around that format, especially dating agencys / dirty phone lines like this one (the voice apparently is "raunchy" ...)

Most of the women on the phone line ads are utterly repugnant, have orange skin, dodgy hair and fake tits.

Who are the people who pay for these services? They must be out there somewhere otherwise these companies wouldn't be able to afford advertising. Don't they know it's probably a man texting them back? I'm pretty sure there was a thread on here ages ago asking men to apply for positions as these 'raunchy women'.
I don't mind funny adverts but all to often there are adverts which are supposed to be funny but fail hideously. I hate most 'teaser' ad campaigns, for Christ's sake give us a clear view of the product and reel off a bit of spec and I can then make up my mind if I want/need what you are trying to flog!

Re: TV Ads
I like the new one for broadband (although I forget which company, so it obviously isn't a very "good" ad), where there's some amazing experience going on (the examples I've seen are swimming with dolphins and some woman talking to a gorilla who's communicating back through sign language).
Everyone else is going on about how amazing the experience is, and he goes "I'd rather be at home, actually". It made me laugh.

Re: TV Ads
Has anyone ever liked and advert because it is so badly done?
The Michael Winner e-sure advert springs to mind, at first i hated them, almost to the point t of physically picking up the remote and changing the channel insted of just looking away but the more I saw them the more amused I was by the complete shitness of it to the point of actually talking along with him "a mouse? with a net?" and then they dumped him in favour of a plasticine mouse.

Yes that's a cool advert. It's Wanadoo or something I think (they seem to have adverts everywhere so I assume it's them).
And I truely sympathise with the guy too, as I'd probably say that.

Now I don't want to frighten any of you children, so any of you with over active imaginations DO NOT READ THE REST OF THIS POST.
There are jingles for various products lingering in my head from 50 years ago. Once they have infected you, you are doomed. It is all the result of extra terrestrials attempting to undermine the human brain to make it so that they can take us over. Fortunately we have Tom Cruise on our side.
True story.

Somehow I doubt a scientologist is going to come in handy in an attempt to wipe out mass production idiocy and brainwashing.

True. But when it comes to a war of the worlds, old Tom will come through and save mankind.

Ah, but he'll wait until the rest of the world have been destroyed first. America won't notice anything is up until then, though oil prices will rise.

Re: TV Ads
Only if they make contact with the aliens and neglect to tell anyone else, and then do something stupid* so the aliens try and kill them all.
*like making someone like Bush the ambassador
