What are you favourite and/or least favourite TV commercials/advertisements from now or years gone past?

At the moment, I really love the Compare the Market ad, makes me laugh every time. Also love all the ads for Carlton Draught. Was also a massive fan of that Farmer's Union Iced Coffee ad as well.

Reality TV ads shower me though, can't stand them.

Reallity tv puts me in the shower

Actually happy with the fox Nazi's, at least they don't advertise crappy dramas and reality BS during the sport

That showers me the most, other that Tom Waterhouse

Favourite adds? Sorry I don't understand? ???

How bad was that? That with the tennis bum, redfoo I believe, ruined my summer

These guys clearly don't care about us blokes, they just want to appeal to the ladies simply to make numbers, because blokes watch anyway

Same with the racing on 7, who are they appealing too? Not the punters!

Any ad where they feel the need to burst into terrible out of tune song makes me want to stab my ear drums

I just do not understand marketing a game that is Australian by having yanks try and do it. Is it due to the fact that the current youth favour American sports? I sometimes think that we are losing the battle with Americanism in Australia.

I have always liked the Carltin Draught ads but my current favourite is the extended version of the Home Timber and Hardware ad.

"Where do the tradies go to get everything they need"

"Not here mate" at the pub
"Not here mate" in the portaloo
etc
