Talking Which is the Best advert on TV

We argued the worst, but which do you think is the best?

Me. I'd say the John Smiths adverts. They're all good but the Hands free phone one is the best. Hell...oh...

Helloooooo? Your Bar'd

Both the Wig one and the Shopping channel one are very good too.

I like the Boots 7 ways to summer advert where the blonde woman gets her kit off and the whole beach is watching. There's a really fine brunette in the ad towards the end (for less than a second) who I keep seeing

Volvic adverts are surely the best. Tyranosarus Alan? George the Volcano? Genius.

I can honestly say I have never seen an ad from start to finish. I make full use of my remote control and do the channel hopping thing. There's always something on another channel worth watching for a few minutes.
Sky seems to be the worst for ad's. There is approximately 20 minutes per hour devoted to advertising. Far too much in my opinion.

True - but go to the States - it is even worse. Despite there being a lot of crap on it, there is no better way to make you appreciate the BBC than by going to the States and seeing what our TV could be like!

Just realised that no one has mentioned that Honda ad

The ad that made me laugh the most wasn't particularly special. It was just a simple ad from KFC.

I laughed so hard as it was the only ad that was placed in the middle of Gordon Ramsay's "The F Word". I could just see him sitting at home watching himself on tv and going a shade of purple at KFC daring to advertise during his programme.

ok, the best ad has simply got to be the trailer for Simpsons,

Spider Pig, Spider Pig, Does whatever, Spider Pig does

All time ad would have to be one of the Guiness ads where the guys flapping his arms about like a mad man

The Cravendale adverts with the plastic toy cow, footballer and pirate really made me laugh. Off the wall humour

Don't know about the best but the Snickers ad with Mr T is funny.

Was there a McDonalds advert that was similar a few years ago, where the footballer just blatantly does a running dive?

I like the Fosters ads - especially the latest one where he's on the beach keeping his beer in the shade - throwing frisbe's with his foot. Made me smile

What was that black and white advert featuring the nice looking bloke wandering about in the buff? I'm not sure I ever took my eyes off his bum long enough to notice what he was advertising.

Anyway I liked that one
