I like those Optus animal ads. :eek:

I really hate Australian Pensioners Insurance ads, thrush ads, Violence Against Women ads.

Any ad in which the owner of the company appears. All it says to me is that the CEO doesn't know anything about marketing and wants to be in the limelight.

eg. Allphones and that car place (Ultrasomething?)

Its not on tv, but i find the ad that has started appearing at the top of the bos forum annoying. the one with the goddamn leaf. it won't stop rolling over. lol. it should be up the top of this page right now.

on the other hand, supercheap auto make good ads. especially the one where the wife says "You've been to super cheap auto again haven't you?". - the one with the garage door. the way shes says it makes me laugh.

I think Debnam's already lost himself the election. He lost it pretty much as soon as he became leader, possibly before.

The Mac verses PC commercials. Most arrogant, pretentious rubbish I've ever seen.

r u guys talking about the ad with the elephant mother and the caterpillar son? that just really spins me out- like who was the father? it so makes no sense
hahah the centipede is the father (i think) because theres a version of the ad where the mother is talking about her husband, the centipede

yeh i don't think the optus ad is that bad. but i never liked those vodafone ads from a while ago - how they'd have 'customers' talking about how much they have benefited since joining voadfone. there was one guy in particular who i just could not stand (the most annoying voice) and i'd change the channel or press mute as soon as he appeared.

and the people talking in the nrma ads sound fake and unrealistic - "i'd recommend nrma insurance to anyone" in the most unconvincing tone...

Hehe speaking of GOOD ads, that new Drumstick one is good-the version where the women are on the beach and the men stare, resulting in a good slap from their wives/girlfriends...haha classic.
