what are your best and worst tv adverts?

My best has to be the cadbury drumming gorilla

my worst is the compare the market 'meercat' one

I hate all of the cadbury ones, and any where people eat in them, the sound of people eating makes me feel sick

I like the dove adverts, some of the women in them are class

picture loans had the worst especially"josh dads found your scooter"cringeworthy
beat is the new cadbury one with the 2 kids try watching it without moving your eyebrows

Safestyle Windows & Doors makes me want to throw the TV out the window.

The new T-Mobile one in the train station is very good.

Safestyle Windows & Doors is my fave.

The new T-Mobile one in the train station is crap.

best - has to be the sweets where one of the jellies shouts,"Trumpets"! also the Cravendale ads are class!!!!
Retro ads which were good - Noodle Doodles

There's loads of crap ones, usually serious. I don't like that.

i like that Krusha advert with the cat singing gimme some Krusha

love that tune

i used to love the old tango adverts

Best
Gorilla on a Drum - Dairy Milk
Robin Hood - Weetabix
It's Time To Change (70s retro car ad) - Renault
Volkswagen - Bloke fighting himself

Worst
Take A Break with BeeGees "Tragedy"

dont think its been on yet but it will be funny when it happens

Darlows Chairman advertising cheap office accomodation at the White Elephant Arena

I used to like the umbongo ads from years ago, the trumpets one is class as it's winds my Mrs up, I also like the Audi one when the bloke fights himself.

The bad ones are everyone for a online bingo site, shoot Foxy for fook sake.

That's Volkswagen, bluemonkey, the German who fights himself.

best - smash robots, kiora
worst - the new cadburys one with the eyebrows

That new Cadburys one is dreadful. Totally unfunny.

The Guinness ones are usually pretty good.

The worst ever is that Frosties one with this little waste of spuff in it...

"They're gonna taste great"

I like this one though...

the "hilarious" Geordies!

By far and away the best tv ad EVER!!!

Gregor Fisher . for Hamlet cigars. one of me favourites ... And .Pg Tips of course
Worst..Them Dancing and singing Bank ads.

this ad is quality,but it is for an Aussie beer....

Best: none, they're all bad

Worst: that one where the guy goes on the roof and starts singing something to the tune of "Food Glorious Food". I can't even remember what it's for.

Agree about the Cadbury's - it makes my eyebrows twitch, the song' good.

As for Frosties...ah, the enthusiasm of energetic youth in the morning after a hearty breakfast.

Oh, the Halifax ads are quality...Howard Brown is great!



Them Nationwide ads by the Geordie, Mark Benton, are great as well!

POK, Mark Benton is NOT a Geordie, he's from Guisborough!!

And that Howard off the Halifax ads is one of the most annoying tw@ts ever to grace an advert!

Well, seeing as he always seems to have a Newcastle accent in everything he was in, I thought he was a Geordie !

You have over stepped the limit this time pok , with this Halifax stuff ..

best advert ever, fofo spearjig advertising bovril. " its in a hard jar!"

I'm with you on this one Mr Head, I have to go out of the room to stop me shouting at the telly.

And if that woman from Lorreal has anymore face lifts she'll be wearing her pubic hair on her chin.

thats a Teesside accent kent, oh and that Howard bloke? great???? are you mental???!!!

that Howard geezer spends all his time doing ads instead of doing his proper job!!!!
I don't blame the bloke for the ads being complete and utter w-a-n-k, like

If he's from Guisborough, why does he always sound like he has a Newcastle accent?

But he doesn't sound like he has a Newcastle accent at all though

Typical southerner

It's a Boro accent and no mistake

You do realise it is hard to tell a Hartlepool accent apart from a North Yorkshire accent and a Teeside accent because they sound so similar.

In the past, when actors from the North-East have been used to indicate a North East accent in TV etc, the only accent they have had is a Newcastle-Upon-Tyne accent.

Is there any difference between a person frm Newcastle and one from Sunderland say in their accents.

It's like Jeff Stelling for example, most people down here can't tell from his accent that he's from Hartlepool, his voice is clipped, very professional etc. If some people didn't know that he's from Hartlepool but recognised he was from the North East because of he has a accent, they'd most probably think he was Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and had a Newcastle acent.

At a guess which ever ones you picked as your "worst adverts" are doing their job better than the rest.

Yeah, all over the location of accents.

I've banned POK for praising Halifax ads.

It is for you

There is a marked difference between the North Yorks accent and an Hartlepool accent, even Helen Keller could tell you that

POK, you talk from a position of no knowledge.

Can you tell the difference between a Sunderland and Newcastle accent? Absolutely yes you can, they're as different as chalk and cheese. It's much the same between Sunderland and Hartlepool, very different accents.

Were you aware, Mr POK, that there is not just one Hartlepool accent? Compare Hart Station with Owton Manor and they're worlds apart. One is closer to a yakker accent whereas the other is closer to a Teesside twang.

The further away you live, the less difference you hear between accents.

I mean, Vulcans and Klingons both sound exactly the same to me but apparently they are two completely different languages.

No I admit that there wasn't just one Hartlepool accent or that there is such thing as a Wearside accent compared to a Tyneside accent.

Where would people from Elwick Road come under then, in terms of accents, would you say?

Which part of Elwick Road?

Have Mandy and Wayne Artlepool accents ?

In what ussed to be West Hartlepool.

By the way the new Virgin Atlantic ad with the red air hostesses is a great ad.

Odd or even numbers?

Dad was born at No 5 - so odd.

Why, should that make a difference ?

Upstairs or downstairs?

You're taking the mick, aren't you?

Who, ME???
