Ok, we've had most despised, but what about favourite adverts?
My favourite is the Attackasnak with the boy talking about the "dark days" classic!
Another is the Haribo and the little boy saying calm down or someones gonna get hurt ;D

Geico car Insurance Co. has the best adverts. I don't think they're in the UK.

Wedge because you only have terresteral channels, you won't see the Attackasnak one, it's on cable all the time

That's what gets me about Sky TV. You pay all that money for the subscription, and they STILL have adverts.

Well of course you get adverts. You're paying for Sky to import crappy American shows, and football. And rubbish movies that are over two years old (newer ones you have to pay for). I think the subscription price has got stupid. It's well over £40 a month now for the lot. Bastards. They want you to get their Sky+ so keep upping the normal service until you think, 'Corr, Sky+ is a bargain in comparison'. Like at the cinema where the difference between small and large popcorn is about 15 pence because the small popcorn is a rip-off in the first place.
And that advert you quoted wedge, has to be the worst advert in the last 18 months. I'm sure you agree.
The Smirnoff Ice and Carlsberg ads tend to be quite good. Can't think of an excellent ad at the moment though --- ah but what about that Honda advert, the one where the car components interact in a kind of assault course fashion. Brilliant.

That Honda one is good. Apparently they did it all for real, no CGI or anything. Must have taken them ages.
The old Carling one with the crab on the desert Island was brlliant.

I liked the old ITV Digital adverts with the monkey, and of course John Smith's adverts are always quite good. The new 'doorstep challenge' one is great.
Most Honda adverts are great! I love the ones for the Jazz. Of course, the assault course one is brilliant - I've got it on DVD. It isn't quite all 'for real', they filmed it in two parts then stuck them together using computers because they couldn't fit the whole lot into the studio. Still, apparently it took 606 takes.

The new Linx ad.
The one where it starts with a bloke and a woman in bed.
They get out of bed looking at each other all sheepish.
Then they start getting dressed.
Finding their clothes in a trail back to where they started...
At the supermarket.
Then they wander off in different directions.
The Linx effect.
Great ad!

Crap. And Lynx's products stink. Especially Africa. I remember at in the changing rooms at school, people used to deliberately spray as much Lynx as they could to try and choke us with its foul fumes. It took Lynx's years just to release their products don't stop you sweating either.
Ah remember this ad: Belly's Gonna Get You, Belly's Gonna Get you : Reebok ad with the man being chased by a giant gut, ending with it chasing him on a motorbike and driving off the edge of a tall building.

That advert reminds me of the old Two Ronnies "Four Candles" sketch.
