Ad's that are bringing excitement into your day.

I realize this is a slight spin off topic but now there are so many exciting ads in the world currently.

Actually this is just an excuse to pledge my lifelong alliegence to whoever came up with the Shapes Chicken Drumstick ad.
True Legends.

Forums: The Bar,

yeah that ad is cool!! we need more ad's with drumming ;)

Plus the dancing granny is awesome, they should put that back on again!!

That dancing granny is nasty - they should keep her off, I sleep easier.

You're just jealous you can't shake yo thing as good as her.

HA HA!

I would appreciate her being tortured Lucifer Sam style. Her & whoever wrote the song.

that's why I don't like it.

that was directed at dement's comment - damn you posting while I'm posting.

theres nothing wrong wid dat dancing granny - its hillarious.....

bring back the dancing granny! loal

FAV ADS:

the KFC "get real" Series.

the drink-drive ad where those stoner dudes and chick on the way to the party are stopped at the checkpoint and blow over the limit - it be funny watchin hippes on an ad - while at da same time promoting a very serious issue

oh 'ow bout sum anti-terrorist ads , i know NZ is at 'high risk' of a terrorist attack - some PSA to eddoocayte da publik on anti-tewwawism meshahz......

Get real! Haw Haw Haw! I'm sure everyone loves those ads.

Anyone seen that ad with the 3 hedgehogs? It rules. Dave likes art!

i enjoy the lift "sharpen up" ads! they crack me up, they should make more! of them

i quite like the new V one with the Gardem Gnomes stealing the old mans car ....

i like the one for that snack drink thing where the guy has his hand in the cookie jar and it flies off and hits the old lady on the head...hehehe

the best ad ever is that john west one, where the man kung fu fights a bear for it's salmon

Haha yea, I remember that.

Ads bringing excitement into my day are 3 main ones.

The first one about TDK speakers and theres that hot chick with the big ears which i don't like on her then when shes meditating it shows the impact of the speakers overwhelming it rips off her clothes and then all of a sudden shes dancing all over the place. A bit of a full on ad. Nice house too.

The second one is that careree ad with that brunette chick in a white top.

And that new laser centre ad is pretty cool, love the graphics.

The link below is to my current favorite ad - these are the sort of advertising people who earn their money.. Apparenly it took 606 takes to get it right, and theres only one second of CG used to link two of the scenes together...

(oh yeah and if you're wondering why the tire roll uphill it's becuase they've been weight in the rims will speciifically chosen ball bearings to maintain momentum :-)

external link ]

that is amazing. I can understand the 606 takes. Imagine the frustration when the muffler *didn't quite* have the momentum to make that last roll.

ahhh, takes me back to the tumbling dominoes craze of the mid 80s...

wow...that is amazing...although there's a few bits that are a bit unclear about how the whole thing keeps running...maybe it's the quality of my computer though...

//tumbling dominoes craze of the mid 80s

I never had enough dominoes to make anything really cool....

And that ad is really cool, in a heath robinsonish sort of way.

I watched it through a few times, and think I have worked it out now. There were a few tricky steps there (like the water sensing windscreen wipers, and I presume the car must have windows that roll down if you tap them from the inside....)

// There were a few tricky steps there (like the water sensing windscreen wipers, and I presume the car must have windows that roll down if you tap them from the inside....)

Actually the windscreen is water sensitive - and yes the windows role down from just being tapped :-)

Theres a fact sheet out on all the components which were used and why they were used - but I can't find the link to it right now... I think my favorite bit is the catapault...

.

// Actually the windscreen is water sensitive
Well, yes, that's what I meant ... a lot of the european car makers have had that for a while.

// and yes the windows role down from just being tapped :-)
This intrigues me. Does it differentiate between tapped from the inside and tapped from the outside. Could make being a jilted traffic light car washer more fun, especially on wet days...

That's wicked, pity my computer freezed a couple of times.

Hmmm....we know how exactly how exciting modern life has become when we have topics like there hahahaha....

def. the ad with the lady beating the cigarette...
that gets me everytime

the bacon one. with the fat guy that touches his lip on the fry pan... oh my im giggling now. :P

oh yeah and the one where she chucks the fry pan out the window (bacon). hehe. cept now they only play half the add then some car drives on and squashes it up against the side of the screen :( stupid arseholes! :P

Great playing to stereotypes. I especially love that the vegetarian man drives an old volvo.

hehehehehehe.

//with the fat guy that touches his lip on the fry pan

That guy was my former manager back at the Edge Cafe (Good Times) and then he got fired for stealing money :D

i myself have heard that's he's one of the most hopeless human beings alive. he can't get decent acting work because he's screwed so many people over in the industry.

I would certainly vouch for that in a court of law.

Although he makes good coffee...There's a future for him.

anybody remember that kiwi bacon ad series way back in the early-mid 80s where they had that kid in front of the frypan muttering on how much he likes bacon and egg sandwiches - dat wuz a classic.

That Ford Turbo Deisel one - with the guys round the barby talking in high-pitched voices and the Ford-owner talking in a considerably lower register. "It has what the others don't have" or something. Very clever.

"can't complain, can't complain"

"Ya want sauce?"

Allthough it's not on anymore....

Grayvox, it sounds a bit like gravey ox.

Rottonpear, I love you, that fully made my day!
That ad was one of the best I've ever seen, I'd forgotten all about it.

This is gravy
This is an ox
This is gravy
This is an ox
Gravy
Ox
Ox
Gravy

GRAVOX, it sounds a bit like GRAVY OX!

Hahahaha!
...sorry, I've had a tough week.

I thought of 2 more ads that are currently bringing excitement to my day.

Schmacko's (sp?) - The voice that is used gets me every time *chuckle* I especially like the one with the bulldog that has to look after the cat "I love you, yes I do"

The BK Italian Chicken Burger - Chickens are the biggest pimps.

"Oy'll geev yoo a Schmackoh!"

"Dogs go whacko, dogs go whacko for Schmackos!!!!"

Where did they come up with the name Schmacko, I wonder?

Yes!

"Rodger, it's bath toime and I have a beeskeet for you!"

' SA KA TA'
'dun dun dun, dun dun dun, dun dun'
'SA KA TA'

although not an ad - how bout making ay a mitre 10 ad where sum stoners need a hydro kit set or sum stoners get da munchies and call pizza hutt - dey will be hillarious

not really an ad, but it made my day!

i was reading this webpage and people were talking about why marijuana isn't actually that bad and someone made a little gif thingy and put it on his webpage, it had an oldschool lookin cartoon dude on it with a pipe and then it changed and had these words "Marijuana, hey atleast it's not CRACK". All i could say to myself during my laughter was "but of course", it's brilliant!

HAMMERHEAD CHICK!!!!!!lol!,has anyone seen that ad with that 'Chick' sitting @ a table,all those guy's walking past go'in "Hey....Nice Teeth!",good god o' mighty,have ya seen the amount of space there is between her eyes!!!!!!!!,she looks like a fucking Hammerhead Shark!

it goes RIGHT EYE--------------------------SPACE-----------------------------LEFT EYE

it's fucking scary man,crack up everytime a coconut.Almost worth sitting through the ad's for.....'Lady,their not laughing at your teeth......'

Actually she looks more like a Cave Troll.

While on the Topic of T.V,why the fuck is there a whole hour of NZ television devoted 2 Steve Fucking Irwin?!?!?!,'The Crocodile Hunter Diaries'....what in the hell?.

I've been to steve Irwin's zoo, it's pretty damn good. With regards to the show, don't fucking watch it. I hardly watch any TV these days, I am however enjoying the french tennis open. tennis rules. You can take your rugby and stick it up your ass.
