Is it just me or are adverts today not as they used to be years ago?
There used to be some really great adverts when I was a kid like the cadbury's buttons advert based on a nursery rhyme or the milkman adverts with the animated milk bottles.
It just seems to me that adverts today don't have much imagination and are not as entertaining. |

The only advert I can think of that stands out for me in recent times is the sunlife over 50's one ...
Either I don't watch a lot of them anymore or I whizz through them to get to the next programme |

Think is because there are so many ways to avoid the adverts these days. We record 90% of our viewing and skip through the ads

It's understandable that there are still some good adverts these days. It's probably that I haven't watched much TV recently to notice lol
I do know that adverts do get creative when it's either Halloween or Christmas. I loved that advert for Asda showing a family of werewolves looking for costumes their cubs want to wear. I thought it was a cute advert and very imaginative. The Christmas advert for McDonalds was so sweet with the toy shop doll hooking up with a toy resembling Buzz Lightyear. |

The little toddler singing Proud Mary  was annoying first time round. A lesson there in not giving a kid a load of E number sweets before a long car journey.
There's 2 Kenzo perfume ads now and I'm warming to their bizarreness. They remind me of Sia videos.

I sure miss those animated adverts that advertised chocolates and sweets for kids. The iced gems advert was a good one where the kids help a bear find his iced gems.
"Iced gems. The snack you share with a bear"
Another good one was the Trio adverts parodying the banana boat song. I'm glad to see this chocolate biscuit bar back in the supermarkets.
"TRIIIIO! TRIIIIIO! I WANT A TRIO AND I WANT ONE NOW!" |

I do love the colour of the dress, even if I don't like the ad.
