Josef K Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 There seems to be more ads lasting longer nowadays. The ad with Philip Schofield promoting that drinks company is so bloody annoying. The door should be slammed in his face a bit harder, and any empty bottles should be aimed towards him as he’s quickly leaving your front garden.

tonyXIII Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 My current favourite ad music is the ad for Avanti West Coast Trains. It's a really good track. I thought it was South African, but I googled it and it is Algerian, apparently. I also like the shots of the tortoise skating round a city and then the countryside. Bloody clever, these tortoises!

Dunbar Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 It may not be everyone's cup of tea... but this is a classic music based ad for me.
