Clever Adverts

[Gadget]

I like the new Quaker Oats ones with Windy Miller

My Favourite had a picture of a Chinese cooking Wok embedded in a cake.

The Tag line read "we can not tell you anything about these cigarettes so here is; A Wok in a Black Forest.

Just came across this advert...

"WHEN IT POURS IT REIGNS"



I just thought that was really clever.

Anyone got any other ads they like?

Sounds like a rip-off of Cocktail; the tag line of which was When he pours, he reigns

The orange ads are very clever.

Different person in each ad (only one I can remember is Sean Astin from LOTR) is pitching a film idea to the Orange board for financial backing. The board are a complete bunch of grasping nerds who keep suggesting ways in which the pitched film can be completely undermined by making it a naked plug for Orange phones.

So we see some of our favourite people being humiliated by a bunch of twats who are clearly focussed on nothing but money - and yet few people think "Huh. Shan't be getting an orange phone, then..."

Clever for an ad to trash the company without alienating the target market...

I like the new(er) one with Steven Seagal trying to pitch a sensitive type of film to them and they're having none of it

Well, that's true to life then 'cos neither is Hollywood!

My favourite advert has to be the Reebok advert for running shoes - "Belly's gonna get yer".

How many men would care to admit that it's a major reason for them doing regular exercise??
