Television commercials

My favorite commercials are those for:

GEICO
Sonic
Quizno’s

My least favorite? Ugh…

Alltel
Pizza Hut
HeadOn

I know about the GEICO one, but only because one of my favourite actors of all time was once the voice of the GEICO gecko!

Tell me, does the GEICO gecko have a sort of London-y accent? Quite rough sounding? I need to know if it’s still him! :laughing:

This is the one I’m on about-

Aaah, Jake Wood. EastEnders would not be the same without you. :laughing:

Cillit Bang and ‘you buy one, you get one free!’ are probably the most well-known adverts over here. They’re both incredibly annoying, but they work.

And Sheila’s Wheels! I could stab those stupid women!

If anyone wants a laugh, type in ‘Charlie Brooker’s Top Ten Cocks and She-Cocks’ into YouTube. Beware of the strong language. :laughing:

I don’t really have a commercial but I liked the Kingdom Hearts II commercial and I like the song of some Pomeranian sausage.

Currently, my favorite commercial happens to be the Lebron James energy drink “courtroom” comercial. I also like the Fataasy Football comercial with the Chargers’ Rivers, Neal, Gates, and Merriman.

My favorite commercials of all time are ones with the Incredibles in it. (You all saw that one comming did ya?)

I loved that commerical with World of Warcraft and Toyota. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u15HmEMp2Qc[/url] Only 30 seconds, but says a lot, lol.

What I really really hate are those “Head-on” commercials. “HEAD-ON! I hate your commercial, but I love your product.” WHAT?

That’s the same voice all right! I like that guys accent, what part of the UK is he from, London?

Man, I can’t think of all my favourite commercials off the top of my head right now? I gotta think about that one.

Huh, funny you should mention that, because he has a little cameo in my Kung Fu Panda trailer parody (watch 1:32-1:36), which in turn was inspired from this commercial. I don’t think it’s the same Brit voice, though.

Some of my favourite commercials are the Chevrolet car carrier ad (directed by King of Mean-McNasty Directors, Mr Michael Bay, you could see where he got his Transformer influences from) and the Smart car spot (which had a nice little tribute to one of this year’s summer blockbusters, which in turn, was a homage to a classic TV series. I think you can guess which it is).

As you can tell, I like car commercials. Here’s one more for Nissan Note which should delight some Ratatouille fans. :wink:

Wall-E Dude- Yeah, his accent is very Cockney. He’s actually toned it down for the GEICO Gecko- you should hear him when he’s speaking normally! :laughing:

I’ve got his autograph. :sunglasses:

0800 00 1066.

Cillit Bang.

'nuff said.

Toyota-some of those were pretty good too.

Price Negotiator-when he stuns the parents it is so funny.

Least Favorite (worst)-

Alltel-i can’t stand those

HeadOn-head on apply directly to the head head on apply directly to the head head on apply directly to th…ahhhhhhhhh!!! :shake:

Anyone here got a favorite Pixar related TV commercial?

We don’t get them over here.

Not even one? Not even an ad to go see WALL-E?

nupe. Every now and again there is a game advert for a movie, but not really. There are no adverts on the BBC and I watch those the most. But there are plenty of posters anyway.

I have got a few favorite Pixar related commercials. THese include 2 SBC commercials, the Violet and Dash Mcdonalds commercial, Incredibles Video Game commercial, the WALL-E Superbowl one, and a couple more.

We genrally get car adverts.

Those seem to show up all the time between show segments. I can’t remember which one is my favorite, but some, I’ll admit I find boring.

so much at car craft…

TSS- I was wondering what you meant by a Pixar related commercial. I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen any before, besides from the actual trailers for the films. Though I did once see something about winning two tickets for a tour of Pixar in an advert, but I can’t remember where that was from.

With Sky+, I always find myself skipping through the ads anyway, but only recently have I realized how used I am to not hearing annoying slogans and jingles; I was watching something live, and when it came to the ad break, I kept pressing the fast forward button, but to no avail! I was then bombarded by insurance and car ads, and I’ve got the theme tune of one stuck in my head.

Does anyone find it weird that they show ‘adult’ advertisements on kids’ channels? Especially channels like Cartoon Network, for example. I don’t see how a child would be interested in an investment for over sixty-fives. :stuck_out_tongue:
