    The Sprite one with the lil monster. I find it funny but, no doubt, like a lotta other things, it's wasted on me 'cos I haven't seen the film it's taking the piss from. Is it a pisstake?

    It is what it's.

    I'm going to cheat and say sprite radio ads :

    Ad 1....

    "Do you like boy bands?"
    *cheer
    "Do you like pop music?"
    *cheer
    "So you're deaf as well as stupid."


    Ad 2....

    "We're going to test you speakers. From the left speaker you will hear Blue"
    from the left speakers"Blue"
    "From the right speaker you will hear Yellow"
    from the right speakers"Yellow"
    "Now both together."
    GREEN

    my favourite ads at the moment are the discovery channel ones "the discovery channel, because you just have to know" or something to that effect. The one with the father feeding his son is pure class, cant remember the other ones.

    A great ad is the honda ad with the big contraption ( isn't it gr8 when things just work)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 464 ✭✭pugwall


    It has to be the Heino weekender adds with the transformers.
    The first night I saw them, they went on for about 5 mins. It was gas, they showed about 6 of them in a row. It was like watching a mini film (comedy of course)

    I remember the heino weekender adds last year were of similar quality:

    one more choon, one more choon!


    The regular heino add with the guy at the party taking the 2 bottles of Heino that were hidden insie a cooked chicken! Fupin Gas!

    indeed, definatley the best are the The Transformers, i ve only seen 4 i think...
    "Ma! they're kickin' me out of the band!!"
    "Tranformers..?? bunch of saps..."
    They're playing in the front garden and the gardai arrive.

    cant remember the last one :mad: :rolleyes:

    Does anyone remember the ad from about 6 years ago for the orange juice drink (like Sunny D). It had one of those generic animated characters in it. A family is eating their dinner and yer man jumps out of nowhere and starts talkingto them. They all start screaming and running away from the little orange guy...
    that was bloody hilarious :p what the hell was it ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,984 ✭✭✭Venom


    That Honda ad is very good. Havent seen it on TV tho.

    The ad that cracks me up the most at the moment would have to be the new Orange ads staring the Hard Nosed Businessman. he is such a wicked bástard :)
