What's your favourite Ad?

Mine is the little boy with the sabre and Mum getting out 'just in time' before he attacks the old man with the eye patch

The one that you like Darki and I also like the Aldi one with the surfing Santas.

If you dont have Aldi in Tasmania Darki, you wont have the santa one.

I dont really take that much notice of ads.

Mine is the animal rescue ad.

The nervous young couple telling their 'son' that he is old enough to be told he is adopted (camera pans to dog)

And that Fluffy isn't his real sister (pans to cat)

And neither is Mitzi (pans to duck)

[ten*teeny*tiny*toes]

I like that one too, Freshwater.

I also like the Coates Hire one with the tradies dancing.

I like the " I bought a Jeep"  ad where two bloke are at a kid's party drinking and the little kid in a cowboy suit comes up and says "MIster I think I'm going to be sick" and they both unison take a step backwards with a horrified look on their faces.

I'm with you Darki. Love that little boy's face when he sees the man with the eyepatch

Particularly the way they look to someone out of camera shot (has to be a woman) to come and deal with the vomit! I've been on a very long search to find out who elected me in charge of kid/cat vomit. Ditto poop. blood etc....

My (first) husband tells me he can't do it because it makes him gag.  Poor baby.

I had an almost identical experience with my 4 year old daughter in the Post Office one day. Only difference was, I didn't get her out before she pointed at the lady staff member with an eye patch -"Ooh Mummy, look at the pirate!!!!" 

We were standing in line at the time and there was nowhere to hide.

Hahahaaaa Neville's daughter... yep that's the way it happens.

The other ad i love is the young couple with the fish being chased by the bear.  I think that is the bear that features in the series where he is reared by a fellow who obviously dotes on him and between them the bear will do almost anything.

Love the way the couple vanish over the side of the wharf into the dinghy as the bear sails overhead... and the look on their faces as he pulls them back to shore...

One that nearly makes me cry every time is the Life Saver's one with the little girl at the edge of the water with helicopters, rubber duckies, speedboats and about a million lifesavers all around, fades back to the picture of the little girl with one big bronzed lifesaver watching over her. No dialogue - just the caption "Whatever it takes...."

Haven't seen it yet this Summer but it usually pops up soon, and it gets me every time.
