Favourite adverts?

[Motoracer]

What are your favourite adverts that come on the telly at the mo?

I love the "Know who you are" advert of Steinlager with "Deliver me" playing in the back ground. I don't think too much of the beer but that advert is cool as.

[White trash]

Really?! Might be my drug fucked mind but I kinda thought that ad had racial overtones.

And I drink a SHITLOAD of Steinlager.

[Indiana_Jones]

you have to love the "total span" song, with the dog :|

Where the fuck do you find all these hidden meanings from?! I'll take a closer look at it next time but I really didn't detect any of that.

[Waylander]

Would have to be the ones they play late at night. Start out showin some green field and then as you get used to that and relax a little bit some freaky little monster quikly flicks onto the screen screaming at the top of it's lungs. Then text apears askin if you have ever felt more awake. Can't remember what the ad was for though, I would guess it's some kind of energy drink.

Perhaps becouse you don't stay up late enough MR.
And who said anything about 'Bama WT? I happen to be from Texas if that's what you mean:niceone:

Or maybe I don't watch enough telly cause I am too busy training on Riding Spirits 2 on PS2. I'm finally getting the hang of that game now.

[MrMelon]

The memphis meltdown ad is hillarious! Face your fear and eat it anyway!

[Waylander]

Ugh, Sony. Get yourself a real gamming machine man. Go Atari!!:banana:

Hmm, I seem to be hi-jacking this thread so in order to avoid some unnecesary flamming lets see what other ads I can think of that are pretty cool...

Oh yea the M&M ones from a few years ago not sure if you peaple got them down here but one of them was Yellow saw this hot human chick and walked over and started flirting and stuff then she licks his shell and you hear this loud crunch. Next scene is Yellow talking to Red with a big bite takin out of his head sayin somethin like "love hurts" or some other les cheesy line.

[Hitcher]

Tui is brewed by women. Gorgeous women...

[Indiana_Jones]

we should make a kiwibiker ad, it can have us all singing "you've lost that lovin' feeling", then bust into Dangerzone as we all Ride off :D

-Indy

[Motoracer]

I've got a few bikes now :D

Yea me too. I just got me a RC211V last night. Shit it is so much easier to ride than the Superbikes like the GSXR1000 or the R1!

Yea, that's a good add too.

This one.. I've had it as a video for like 6 months off the internet, only saw it on NZ tv for the first time a few weeks ago thou.

Uploaded it to my website, feel free to grab a copy but please dont link it too far and wide or it will rape my bandwidth.

[White trash]

I'm so fucken bored.

It's pissing down, no one wants a new bike, I want to go home.

[Waylander]

At least you have (or can borrow if yours doesnt run at the moment due to nasty wind gusts) a working bike to cure that particular need.

[White trash]

Not when it's raining I cant.

They get dirty and some poor bastard has to clean it, I don't clean bikes. That's what girlfriends are for. Oh yeah, and fetching beers from the fridge.

My bike's a box fluffys anyway.

Oh butch up man. Rain ain't nothin but water.

You poor, poor dear!
I feel like that every day, about 3 minutes after I arrive at my cubicle.
Tell you what - hows about we swap jobs? This is the most boring job I've ever had, and I've been stuck here for nigh on six (6!!!) fookin years! Mind you, the first few munce weren't so bad - lots of travel (even if it was only to Perth) and they stuffed up my travel allowance so I was paid $AU70 a day that I was supposed to be paying for food and stuff with.
But only for about 16 weeks ...:whistle:

Well I didn't bloody well know! It came in handy for buying a new helmet, gloves, and some trinkets to appease the missus...

And I reckon it made up for having to put up with Perth (it's like Hamilton, only full of Aussies and much hotter).

Is it me or do those late night ads just repeat what they are saying to make you remember?

Is it me or do those late night ads just repeat what they are saying to make you remember?

[Racey Rider]

Saw a hot new (to me) ad just last night on TV2.
Young guy, doing everyday things, that all had equal "sexy" reactions to the good looking women around him.

And then after 9pm, the longer verson of the same ad.

I'll buy that product! :2thumbsup
Just need to remember what the product was. :o


Reflex? Deodorant or something.

[sAsLEX]

the new L&P adds are a touch of class!

[Ghost Lemur]

Having watched a little tv while I was in Wellington, I got to say, the only ad which I liked was the one by the LTSA for the scratchies. Had a guy pull himself out of the gravel, with him eventually pulling his bike (and pillion) out too. Cracked me up.

Would love to get a ripped version, if anyone does quite a bit of tv capturing and can grab it for me.

[StoneChucker]

I have to agree, that Steinlager advert is fricken powerfull! And, there are NO racial overtones WT, if they used two white guys they would be leaving out black people, same with two black guys (leaving out white people). Poor advertisers can never bloody win can they?

But for another great add, anyone seen the new Meridian Energy (I THINK, otherwise another power company) ad campaigns? One is about wind, and the other water (only seen at the cinema by me so far). The wind advert on tv has a seed floating over all sorts of NZ landscapes, and at the end they say something like: we hope you enjoyed a tour of your power station
Water add, similar but with a flower floating on water flowing over many different areas. A really beautiful add, musically and visually...
1)Steinlager
2)Meridian Energy (I think)

[Krayy]

My absolute fave of all time was a mid 80's one for Trumpet ice creams where this slightly chubby bloke was trying to impress some blonde bimbo (her name was Fay or Kay I think) and his suave rival (Roger the bully) kept stealing his ice cream and the girl. had a very cutesy ditty to go along with it which I'll try to transcribe below (but everyone knows my memory is fading). It started off in school, and then to ater in life when Roger does the same but hes got a sports car.

I once brought an ice cream for a girl called Fay,
But Roger the bully stole them both away.
Now we are older, look what I've got,
It's a Trumpet Fay,
....
[shouting] I'll get you Roger Higgins!!


...can anyone fill in the middle bit?

P.S. Second fave of all time was Toyotas "Bugger" ad, particularly the scene when he's trying to pull the cow out of the mire.... :killingme

[Sniper]

and you dont look much like a steer to me....

:D


Now that kinda narrows it down a little bit doesnt it?

[Waylander]

Great, I'm being picked on again....

[Sensei]

Has to be the new Links "Touch " Ad Nice very nice
SENSEI :drinknsin

[inlinefour]

Its the one with the 3 females walking through a building site and putting their hands into some setting concrete. Cracks me up every time...

[StoneChucker]

As the title suggests, you'd need to be a "Saffa" to know this one...

The Volkswagen Beetle advert, with the same beetle being shown in the lives of two or 3 generations. Had that great song by Andre DeVilliers, Memories ("I remember, the days of my life, i recall the faces, mostly yours, magic moments, life is a mystery".......).

Always moistened a dry eye or goose bumped the once smooth skin

[MadDuck]

has to be the Sleepy bed ad with the ole chook prancing around like a cheer leader. Damn if I have a smile and can be that carefree at that age i have won ...oh and if they ever find her she is now worth millions :killingme

[Biff]

You guys actually like adverts?! :brick:

I farquin loathe the things. Especially on Sky - I pay good money to have forking marketing shite rammed down my throat, " Buy Canniston, it calms an itchy climatus". "Eat this shit and be healthy". Farq off. Marketing types should be strung up by their privates and painted with honey, then set upon by a swarm of psycho wasps that have just been told they're all gay and their fathers were bluebottles. :angry2:

I detest adverts, I record alot of the tv I watch, and fast forward the adshits... But, when a truly good one comes along, I enjoy if for the design and implementation/execution of it, and not for the product being advertised. I detest the taste of Steinlager. It tastes like bile extracted from the Devil himself, but it was a great advert.

It sounds to ME, like you need Maalox, relieves acid indigestion, FAST :killingme

the original hilux adds were better i reckon

I love the "bull in a china shop" ad for Vero.

Don't often see the ads, I tape most of what I watch and FF the ads.

Peaches and Cream....my favourite

[scroter]

Yea me too. I just got me a RC211V last night. Shit it is so much easier to ride than the Superbikes like the GSXR1000 or the R1!



Yea, that's a good add too.

i got me 400 odd million in dough and something like about 100 bikes. have finished the entire game. ive got about 5 RC211v's and sold about 3. i think the best overall bike is the dajiro kato 250.

[scroter]

my favourite ad is still the ACC one were the guy falls of the ladder, i just cant stop laughing at it.

And what the heck does "password" means?

I liked the Lynx one where it set off all those other events, the frogs rooting, the old guy dying when hes about to get laid. Thought that was amusing.

The deoderent/body spray stuff. Called Axe in the states and there are a few fragrances y'all don't have here.

the add has no point. i like the music but what the fuck does it have to do with beer? tui add is good. maybe they should put deliver me on back ground of tui add. then id be a good little consumer an spend all the groccery money on tui

[MrMelon]

Yeah that steinlager ad looks like they had far too much money in their advertising budget and blew it all on a shitty ad.

The new Watties baked beans ads are funny as tho.

[WINJA]

I'm so fucken bored.

It's pissing down, no one wants a new bike, I want to go home.
I WANT A GSXR1000 K5 I HAVE A K3 TO TRADE AND CASH BUT NO ONE WANTS TO SELL ME ONE

Oh that new Canon Digic camera ad is quite cool too.

[GROOMER]

Fast Eddie on the new Telecom mobile ads. Cute kid :)

[John]

Fast Eddie on the new Telecom mobile ads. Cute kid :)
I always think how funny it would be if they dressed all the kids in the telecom ad in red, and let out some bulls hahha, the comedy oh the pain the pain of it all..

[Gremlin]

I love the natural confectionery company jellies one, with the cute little blonde. Doesn't everybody with a little girl want that stereotypical cuteness??

My dad can't stop laughing at the sky guys when they mess up the mafia's hair do... thats a good one, most of the sky guys are good ones

Both of the ads with Jade from miss popularity... just becoz of her... on the same note, there was that lynx24-7 ad. Last chick delivering pizzas. If only they all delivered like that :yes:

For the most part, I switch off during an add break, then switch on once the program resumes. Currently doing a stupid marketing paper, and tried telling my lecturer that (she asked something) and she said that I still subliminally (sp) got the message... really? how come I still don't recognise ads the 10th time around... :whocares:

[Sniper]

I have managed to find a new ad that I really like and relate to. Its the Burger King ad with the big bloke burger. Where they ask him if he likes lettuce, gerkin ect, and all he says is "NO!"

[Motoracer]

the add has no point. i like the music but what the fuck does it have to do with beer? tui add is good. maybe they should put deliver me on back ground of tui add. then id be a good little consumer an spend all the groccery money on tui

The point maybe a bit far fetched but it is there. Not everyone thinks the same so not every message will get across to everyone. Like SC said, that add was pretty powerfull so who ever got the message from that add would have been taken by the brand (which is the whole idea behind advertising).

I must agree though, it was mainly the song that did it for me.

[Coldkiwi]

The new Toyota add with the two Bulls nicking the Hilux is the best I've seen on telly for a LONG time.
'outta the way Sheepshagger!'

I'm sure they'll get complaints about that line from the PC police so if you haven't seen it, keep an eagle eye out before it gets taken off!
definitely 5 stars

[Waylander]

Same thing with me, hate that rabbit food. Just wish those BK guys would get their stuff right. That sandwich has been out three times under different names since I have been in NZ. And that Texas BBQ thing was just insulting.

[idb]

It's got to be the L&P ad for me at the moment with the Stubbies and mullets.
I still laugh at the bit in the Sky ad where they try to creep into the bar and pull the tv off the wall. :killingme

[ZorsT]

My favrouite add was for skittles that i saw while in canada.

A young man puts a bowl of skittles on the coffee table for his grandparents.
The grandma (quite old) takes a small handfull, and eats them.
Then leaps out of her chair and starts rapping something along the lines of
"YO, YO, check it, check it
I'm a bad grand-Ma, Busting moves
That'l Stop YA!!!"

as she says "stop ya" she pulls her jacket off from around her chest, and shows her grand-son (not us) her titties.

The young'n then quickly grabs a blanket and covers her up.....

it made me laugh.

If it hasn't already been said, then without IMHO this is the finest advert that has ever been made (not suitable for you tight arses on dialup.):

[pommie girl]

I may be a chick, but I think the Lynx ads are all very f***ing clever and they've also done spectaularly well worldwide in selling the product (yeah, I'm in the industry).

Do like the Steinlager ad even though I think it has bugger all to do with the beer. If you like the song, it's by a fab '80s British band called The Beloved and being the rather wonderful people they are, you can download it for FREE off their website www.thebeloved.com - check it out!!

Nokia did some great ads in the UK a few years ago for their new gaming handset...

Glad you think so - my mates made that ad, came up with the idea for it. You'll be pleased to know (or not) that one of them rides a Harley, in fact, he gave me my first ever ride on a bike about 12 years ago!!

A class add, and I hate adds. But respect where it's due (apart from the Harley).

I saw a documentary on TV about it some time ago. If it's genuine, and the TV prog said it was – showing the design, production and filming of it and the hundreds of attempts it took (making adjustments etc) - then it has at least to be the most ingenious adverts of all time.

Bloody adverts.

Yeah, took them something like 250 shots to get it all because it had to be filmed in one continuous roll.

Love adverts meself, but then I've been in the industry ever since I left school, well, after a brief stint at a music magazine which paid shite money. Decided that any place of employment which provided its own in-house pub had to be a bloody good thing (and most ad agencies in London do have their very own bars :-) )...
