Good adverts?
David Jenkins - 24/2/09 at 01:15 PM

We all like to moan about the crass and annoying TV adverts, but are there any that you DO like?

I'll start by declaring the one that still makes me smile, even though I've seen it a few hundred times now:

Compare the Meerkat

Clever idea, very good characters and excellent animation.

i don,t know how to do a link but one of my fave ads is the cadburys gorilla/ phil collins version.
its the shrug of shoulders & stretch of neck that makes it, the music too, my era getting wrecked

Was watching Bravo last night and they were doing trailers for Walker, Texas Ranger, and I'm sure when Chuck Norris is gazing off into the distance and the woman ducked out of view, there was the sound of a zip being undone
