    I'm a huge fan of the series of Sky TV ads with the little & big dudes. Favourites in ranking order would be:

    "Benny Hill" style ad for UKTV
    "Eunuchs" for Discovery
    "On the floor" ad (I can't remember what service)
    "Peeping toms" for E!
    "Rugby watchers" ad where they broke the TV in the pub
    etc....
    "Atomic batteries to power...turbines to speed..."

    Same here - thought the Yanks wouldn't want the hassle of cleaning them all up afterwards, nor paying for any damage they may have caused on the way down!
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    I don't watch much tv. Happened to see this add during the breaks for that "Worlds Greatest - Motorcycles" show and thought it was pretty good

    Yeah, the bouncing balls are quite cool. My fav at the moment is the speights(I think) where the old dude's dreaming. The way Shazza shakes the shakey thing cracks me up. "Chin chin". Topping what and all that. Haha. Good onya Mate!

    yeah those ads are cute , but Sorry the best ads I have seen are on British telly , Carling Black label anyone

    Or tabacco advertising ..Silk cut ...a bilboard with a picture of a purple bit of silk and a pair of sissors .

    Or golden virginia , a landscape picture using ONLY the colors of the golden Virginia pouch, Very clever ( took me weeks to figure that one ,,,)

    Good adverts can be better than the program.

    Oh and ads have a shelf life ,,,,If I see that Bugga ad one more time :slap: yes it was funny but ,,move on

    Its like uncle albert who tells the same joke every year at christmas NOT.....

    Anyway thanks to internet I now what my TV with out any ads ,and any TV I like , when I Like ,,, ( except MOTO GP boooohoooooo I have to pay for that and it to expensive for the quality )

    I enjoy the Lynx ad. The one where you can hear them having an argument and she comes storming out only to be drawn to the guys shoulder.
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    I like that NZ post add, where the guy falls of his roof onto the trampoline ,then off the tramp into a tree, where he's mauled by a o'possum.
    then falls ot of the tree as the possum continues to attack. all watched by his family.

    that's classic kiwi all right.

    and the electric shock/trampoline/post ad - the girl taking photos on her phone is sooo true!

    just watched the 3 minute version. isn't it ironic how the worlds biggest manufacturer of go-fast electric stuff has relied on an old-school playground entertainment to advertise?

    I love the phone ad where the guy's wife starts stripping. Great stuff. Although I'm hoping to see the extended version soon...
    Remember to never split an infinitive. The passive voice should never be used. Do not put statements in the negative form. Proofread carefully to see if you words out. And don't start a sentence with a conjugation. (William Safire)
