Further to another topic that discussed the annoying aspect of adverts, I'd like to open for floor on what you might consider an advertisement worthy of your time. I personally quite enjoy the M&M ads. Always makes me laugh when I see the M&M's in the cupboard telling the man "you get in" when he's trying to put them in a bowl...Classic. Another of my fave series of ads are the two dogs from Home Hardware. My kind of humour. Anyone else have any ads they actually don't mind watching?

I also love the M&M ads. I used to love some of the beer ads as well. I think Carlton Draught had the ad using the 'Oh Fortuna' from Carmina Burana as the theme song ('This is a big ad, a very big ad') - loved that ad. There was another beer ad with the queue of people heading up to the brewery was also well done - particularly the 'men punching above their weight' Just can't remember which beer it was though.

My favourite ad is that one of the dog with his 'cheshire cat' grin...I cannot remember what they are advertising as I am laughing too much!
It just proves that there are some really clever ads out there and they do grab out attention

Love the M&M ads too, esp. the "you get in the bowl ad". :)

The "V" energy drink ads I also love; like the cockroaches doing aerial moves under a public bathroom hand dryer. (beats the red bull ad series).

The Heineken ad with the CGI recreation and asking for a sixpack but receiving six steins instead was also funny and showed ingenuity.

I love the Mitre 10 DIY ads. They are so well done, funny and represents the business well. Keep them coming I say. Other ads I liked were the Lift plus ads, who knew that random things in ads could amuse viewers for ages.

This might be unpopular but i do giggle at the racq ad where the husband ran his boat into the charter boat and the wife is walking around the backyard with a towel over her head. "charter boat , what charter boat". short and sweet.

I think the tooheys dry add with the man going in through the laundry sink into a bath somewhere else ends up on a planet slides around falls in a whole comes back with 3 beers so weird and no sense at all

Really love the station identification ad for 11. the one where the 2 guys laugh at something on their phone, they laugh so hard one falls off the lounge. Their laughter is so contagious I cannot help laughing, haven't seen it for a while tho'. Must agree the Malteasers ad with the pregnant girls is very clever. Also have to smile at ads with babies - can't help myself

Yes I always enjoy the M&M's advert. Did you hear about the blonde who lost her job working in the M&M's factory, she kept throwing out the chocolates that had 'W' on them. P.S. I am a blonde, my father takes great delight in coming up with all these blonde jokes.

I like the Heineken ad where the guy goes down the road to the pub, and finds himself back in the nineteenth century. The CGI reconstruction of the roads and buildings is fine work.

Being a pregnant woman (for the second time), I love the Maltesers ad. This is the one where the two women are on the lounge sitting a Malteser on their tummies. Then the baby kicks and it rolls off. My sister-in-law and I tried this last time we were pregnant and it worked, but I haven't tried it this time yet. Very clever ad!

I really like the recent Cadbury adds where you only get a 5 second hint of the name Cadbury. I am also very much into the Eukanubra Extraordinary dog series which is a whole show on the dogs and about six 5 second Eukanubra adds.

My Husband loves the Oreo ad. The 2 young boys and the Oreos, I dips his biscuit into the milk and the little 1 pours his milk on to it 'cos he can't get the lid off his trainer cup.

this is one of my all time favourite ads because we all know that everyone at one stage in their life has twisted, licked and dunked an oreo :P

I love the Optimum ad for pets featuring Dr Chris Brown from Bondi Vet. He's such a hunk and well liked by most people.

chris brown is the best

I love this ad-but what really tickles me, is the voice of the red m&m-so gruff and intimidating. I nearly expect the guy to say sorry, put his bowl behind his back, and choose a pack of chips! Lol!
