    I like the ad set on the fishing trawler, with three fishermen. Its for Donegal catch, I think.

    [B]Favourite right now: VW Polo Advert -



    What a brilliant ad!

    Least Favourite: Ad's for the ringtones.

    Terrible ad's,have to change the channel sometimes because there always bloody on!

    The cadbury ad with the gorilla is good too - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKdQC-hbY7k

    It has nothing to do with cadbury but when someone searches youtube for the ad its done the job!

    None.
    Taken from last year's Independent:

    People don't want advertisers droning on and on about their products any more; they want to be entertained. "Cadbury traditionally did well-built ads for the interruption age when consumers had an implicit media deal with advertisers. In exchange for free TV they would allow us to interrupt their programmes with commercials," says Green. "The nation has a massive soft spot for CDM and it is deeply embedded in the national psyche. For a brand that is so well known, it's arguable whether the old style interruption advertising model is the best model for the future. So we are trying to engage more genuinely with our audience."
    Basically, if your product is well enough known, you don't have to try and sell it, in the traditional sense. You can provide entertainment, a short film of something fun, just like with the drumming gorilla. Obviously it is also working on a more subtle level of advertising.

    Yeah dont get the Cadburys connection with random bits of film. But it somehow works. Even the soundtrack to those adverts... Phil Collins hit the Top 10 again thanks to that ad. Annoys me, why are they so popular?

    Great ad, not quite as good as the Carlsberg Irish ad!

    "Do something Irish!! etc ctc..."

    "Ciunas, Bóthar, Cailin, Bainne!"

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=DTNBmFveq2U

    The rolo ad is great, where the kid takes the mick out of the elphant in the zoo, then a few years later, the elephant wollops him in a parade!!

    The Donegal Catch one is good. All those 'there's always C' Carlsberg ones are muck.

    Don't know if the Sacla pesto adverts are on Irish TV. That ad boils my head. The Joss Stone/Cadbury's Flake advert is another p!ssing me right off. You are what you eat Joss.

    I couldn't disagree with you more on both counts.

    They use a catchy tune with a bizarre video, and everybody asks "what's this?" the answer is Dairy Milk everyone thinks "well that was weird" and Dairy Milk is stuck in your head and getting discussed on internet message boards.

    I like them, love the airport vehicles racing down the runway with Queen blasting the soundtrack.

    You must be new here. The correct response is to question his intelligence, education, personal hygiene and the marital status of his parents at the time of his birth while defending your opinion as fact.
