    Mine has gotta be the Budweiser frogs. Much classier and funnier than the other Bud ad and IMO, one of the best.

    Second would have to be the Nike ads---the football rescue, the good v evil.

    So what do you think ??

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4 randys pal


    The Budweiser ads are classic but I have to say that the fosters beer ads were really funny too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 722 ✭✭✭Drunk pirate


    The new ps2 add where the man is eating the ps2 and stuff hehe


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,488 ✭✭✭SantaHoe


    Adds are boring/annoying... I chanell surf or mute the sound while they're on and make some coffee.
    If an add comes on the radio - boom - you've just lost a listener.

    The only add that even comes close to entertaining is that Choc Orange add... "No, she likes boxes.... she collects 'em"
    Makes me lightly chuckle somewhere in my head every time I see it.
    Still, I haven't eaten a chocolate orange in well over 5 years :)

    I think it's high time we started boycotting products with annoying adds.

    I think that toyota one with the farmer and his powerful pick-up was brillant. I first saw it in the cinema, was funnier than the movie :/

    Actually some of the "Lynx Effect" ones where quite good - that one especially stuck in my mind!

    :cool:

    I like the new Heiniken one, where the guy is crammed between two "obtuse" people on an airplane with the music "Stuck in the middle with you..." The guy just looks so damn miserable it makes me laugh :]

    And the Toyota one, "Bugger!" is good too :]

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,227 ✭✭✭stereo_steve


    No one has mentioned the club orange ad! I love that one. I even went off and downloaded it! I suppose thats a bit sad!

    The toyota ad is fantastic though aswell. "bugger!"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭azezil


    oor that add for a Kia (i think) guy in the little car just drives into shot "woohooo" lol :D

    Does anyone know the minor mancurian celeb in the Ad...???


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,379 ✭✭✭Mills


    The new PS2 ad, where yer man eats the controller and console in the restaraunt, saw it yesterday on one of the music channels on sky digital, had me in stitched laughing for the whole few minutes it was on. It's really long though so I don't know if they'll have it on ordinary channels.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,055 ✭✭✭suppafly


    I'd have to say those nike adds a brilliant all of the ones they've had. One of the best being the match againist the devils and cantona at th end "Au Revoir!" yeah that was cool. The brazilian ones were cool to and the music them was class!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,529 ✭✭✭irishgeo


    I think the john west salmon ads were the best. The ads where the man dress up in the bear suit and goes down a starts a fight with a bear over the fish.

    Then it shows him running away from the bear with the fish and then the voice over goes "John West we go to extra ordinary lentghs to bring you the finest salmon" or something like that.

    The best yet.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 316 ✭✭IRISHLILY24


    I think the adds where you see one guy doing amazing tricks with the basketball and then he passes it to someone else and it conitues, think its nike, not sure.....
    i love the gap commercials, the music is always great and the dancers are cool, the swing dance one was my fave.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,046 ✭✭✭Dustaz


    Either 'Kate from UCD' or 'Lifestyle cinderella' for the raaar factor.


    oh and...

    I think the X-Box add is excellent, the one with yer man flying through the air.

    The carlsberg adds are excellent too :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 65 ✭✭Missy


    definately the bud add, and the celebration add when your fella is trying to sneeze!! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk


    i saw an ad for BBC 6 Music tonight and it was great. it was at a wedding reception and the wife wanted a slow song and the DJ put on a rock song. the wife was nearly in tears and her mother beat the living daylights out of the DJ. then something like "we play what we want when we want" or something like that. i can't remember because i was laughing so much. great stuff


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,518 ✭✭✭Kalina


    The Guinness add with the white horses galloping over the surf. Absolutely class add. Don't think they're showing it anymore though.
    There was an add for some drink, WKD or something where these guys put a fake brick wall in front of elevator doors and their mate in the lift thought he was trapped and started yelling for help. That was quite good!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 898 ✭✭✭Winning Hand


    The PS2 one where he is eating it cracks me up. Guinness ones are always class too "Im getting old, someday Ill lose.""Dont worry, you'll never lose". "He waits, thats what he does"
    Surf ads need no introduction.
    Drawing a blank atm, there are so many to think of.
    The skoda ads where the driver buggers off when they're about to buy it is always good for a laugh too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,309 ✭✭✭✭Bard


    The new Pepsi ads with the sumo wrestlers vs. the world-class footballers are good...

    The X-Box ones, I only saw this evening for the first time... amazing... fantastically crafted stuff... nice one! Made me want an X-Box without even showing me what the machine was capable of...

    Top of the pile is always the beer ads though... The Guinness Dance, ... the Harp Lager "Pint o' Harp and a packet of Dates please, Lawrence"... the Bud Frogs/Lizards (although, yeah- as has been said, they're getting a bit dated at this stage)

    I have yet to see this fabled Kylie cinema ad...

    ... ooh ooh ! ...

    have yeh seen the one where the mothers arrive at the school to pick up the kids, the bell rings, kids run to cars, girl gets into a car, woman looks around and says 'Katie... your mum is over there!'... Katie turns around with an evil look of disgust and says "Shut up and drive!"...

    the ad is for the car, of course, - Katie, being a stuck-up little bitch wouldn't be seen in anything less... :) - just the look on her face and the tone of her voice alone make it a fantastic ad...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,055 ✭✭✭suppafly


    The new nike add is the best!! The one in the ship! Its brilliant!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,396 ✭✭✭✭kaimera


    Defo the new Nike ad.

    24 of the best players in one ad.

    classic!

    I forgot about teh Guinness dance!
    rofl!!
    brill!

    NEW PS2 ADD!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 57 ✭✭vAWOL


    I like the kitkat ad...wher the guy is being all stealt while paintballing and then he sneezes and instantly get hit by 10 paint-balls..then continues to sneeze and gets hit by a barrage of paint-balls.
    Simple but effective for the "Have a break" tagline

    I never liked any of the Heineken ads until I saw the new one that's been on for the past week or so for the upcoming Heineken Weekender. You know the one with the busker on some dirty street playing the guitar and some crazy guy listening to him keeps clapping, whistling and chanting 'One more time, One more time..'

    Absolutely brilliant, and if you're a busker yerself you appreciate it more.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,154 ✭✭✭✭Neil3030


    The Rolo ad where the elephant gives ur man a dig when 30 years after he didn't give him a rolo.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,992 ✭✭✭✭gurramok


    the rolo ad is good, also the weetabix ad with the tidal wave !
    A classic, doing a re-run at moment !
    Have u had your weetabix ? !!

    The Carlsberg ads are consistantly brilliant.

    I work for Vision Express, and i have to say I'm SHAMED by the crappy ads we have!

    10/10 to carlsberg though....

    They are classics all right

    The guinness surfer advert is back on TV with a new voice over and now the add is for Guinness Exta Cold. It is undoubtably the coolest advert ever.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,116 ✭✭✭✭RasTa


    i like the new carslberg add myself,the one were ireland wins the world cup
    its gonna happen!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 263 ✭✭joey D


    it IS bez, and those ads are bollix anyway.

    The bud ads are complete bollix, especially the frog ones.

    the lotto ads are pleasnt enough, simple and amusing.

    Have any of you seen the Umbro ad thats been doing the rounds by email? Its a classic, a couple are in bed and he gets up and leaves. A few seconds later she comes down and to her disgust he is, how should i say this, pumping... except after she storms out it goes to the front and he is just pumping his football up... Its hilarious.
