Kit Kat Airport Arrivals

Following from the Kit Kat supermarket advert the new Kit Kat advert plays on people arriving at the airport and a man acting as if he is the luggage conveyer....hence working like a machine which is the storyline to the advert.

By working like a machine every needs to "Have a break, have a Kit Kat". The new idea behind the new series of Kit Kat adverts is a master piece, they are funny and really do a great deal to advertise Kit Kats.

Well done Kit Kat.

Muller Corner Cherry Chocolate Advert

Muller have struck again with another great advert. This advert is for the new Muller corner cherry chocolate flavoured yoghurt.

This advert starts with an old film but with the backing of newer music, the music is "Alright" by East 17 who were around in the early 1990's.

What makes this advert so interesting and funny is how they mixed the old style, and very unique, dancing with music of the 90's!

You really need to see this new Muller corner cherry chocolate flavoured yoghurt advert.

Kit Kat Checkout Advert

Tghe new Kit Kat checkout advert is hilarious! I just posted the Carling advert and this one came on the television so had to come and post it straight away.

This Kit Kat advert plays on people working like a machine and the age old Kit Kat slogan "Have a breakm, have a Kit Kat". The man in the advert acts like a checkout machine in a supermarket by picking each item and putting it past his head and saying "Boop" like the checkout machines do.

What makes this Kit Kat checkout advert funny and has got people interesting is the last "Boop" when hes straining with a bag of potatoes....please watch its hilarious.

Heinz Mayo Advert -- New York Deli

Heinz were advertising their new New York Deli flavoured mayo in the summer of 2008 and to their surprise the advert got banned within a week!

The advert plays on a family getting ready in the morning with the wife in the kitchen preparing food, the kids grabbing their pack lunch and running out the door and the husband taking his sandwiches on the way to work....normal family you would think. What the twist is with this advert is that the mother is actually a burly New York deli male cook and at the end he asks the father where his kiss goodbye is (as if he was the wife).

This is a great advert but because of the two men kissing in the advert it got banned, well Heinz I still give it a great thumbs up.

Cadburys Moving Eyebrows Advert

Cadburys have struck again with a really funny, interesting and original advert...this time for their Dairy milk bars.

This advert has just been aired in the UK and is already becoming a much talked about topic with many people laughing at its ingenuity.

The advert centres on two children who are dancing by moving their eyebrows to music, the dancing becomes very intense after a time because of the music speeding up. One of the children, a girl, then produces a balloon and uses the balloon to add to the music affect.

This is a funny advert, I love how cadburys use totally unrelated but interesting ways to advertise and this Cadburys dairy milk moving eyebrows advert is certainly one of their best.

Hovis Bread Advert

Who ever would have thought I would be posting an advert for bread! Well this advert for Hovis bread is great.

This Hovis advert is based on the fact that the bread they make today is as great as it has always been. The advert shows a boy pick up the loaf of bread froma shop and follows his travels home, the twist is that as he is moving from street to street the time he is in jumps a decade.

The advert starts back in the early 1900's just before the Titanic takes her maiden voyage and jumps through the 40's, 50's and so on to the present day.

This is a great advert if ever I saw on, it is also an advert that will capture the minds of all, young and old.

Bring on the Trumpets Advert

The Natural Confectionary Company bought out a series of adverts to advertise their natural Sweets with no artificial colours or flavours. My favourite of all these adverts was the "Bring on the trumpets" advert where a bear sits up high shouting out "Bring on the trumpets" while a snake below is wondering what is going on.

This advert is clever because of its simplicity and also for the fact that it grabs your attention, this really is a great advert well done The Natural Confectionary Company.

Muller Yoghurt Lick The Lid Of Life

This Muller advert was on long ago back in 2008 :) but I thought it would be a great advert to put up today, New Years day.

This Muller advert plays on the motto, lick the lid of life and has people aged one to one hundred in the advert to advertise Muller yoghurt.

The man who is 100 in the advert was actually spotted by an agent of the advertising company who found his birthday listed in the Elstree and Borehamwood times.

This is a great and touching advert.

Country Life Butter Advert

Who would ever have thought that a butter advert makes it into the great advert blog of fame!

Country life butter has really gone to town with their latest instalments of adverts by using Johnny Rotten from the sex pistols (real name John Lydon) to sell their butter, with admirable results.

This advert is about why John Lydon buys country life butter, not because its made in Great Britain but because its Great Butter!!!

This advert is funny and a must watch, well done country life butter.

Haribo Interrogation Advert

Haribo are not a company I normally associate with great adverts but I feel the latest addition to their marketing drive does deserve recognition!

It centres on a father being interrogated by his son and daughter for eating all the eggs in their Haribo starmix (Eggs are my favourites). What I like about this advert is the acting by the little girl she makes me laugh.

This is a great advert and I think it is one that makes you remember the product.

McDonalds - The Great Escape

The McDonalds has released a Christmas advert advertising the big cheese with bacon, chicken fiesta and festive pie.

This McDonalds advert is called the great escape and is all about a man playing charades with his family who gets bored and decides he needs something to eat...hell why not McDonalds hey!

What makes me laugh in this advert is the Gran, watch out for her answers to the game of charades, its a classic!

Weetabix Robin Hood Advert

Weetabix have always tried to create interesting and funny adverts but none have ever beaten their 1991 Weetabix advert featuring Robin Hood.

This Weetabix advert plays on the fact that Robin Hood always managed to beat the evil Sheriff of Nottingham by Robin Hood actually being defeated in this advert.

The advert starts with Robin Hood riding with his band of men to free his lady from the Sheriffs tower only to see the Sheriff of Nottingham eating Weetabix which makes him retreat.

Not only is the advert funny because of the story line, it is made even more amusing by the accompanying song which is below with the advert.

Robin Hood, Robin Hood riding through the glen,
Robin Hood, Robin Hood with his band of men,
Feared by the bad, loved by the good,
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin Hood,
Robin Hood, Robin Hood could be in a fix
Robin Hood, Robin Hood spies the Weetabix
Does he retreat back to Sherwood,
Coz he should, coz he should, coz he should,

Cadburys Creme Egg Mass Goo-icide

Cadburys creme eggs are probably my favourite chocolate along with Smarties and when I saw this Cadburys creme egg advert I thought, well done Cadburys.

I remember the days when Cadburys creme eggs only came out near easter and I would have to wait a year to get my hands on one again, but thankfully this is not the case today!

There have been a mini series of Cadburys creme egg adverts recently that have really been funny and entertaining but todays advert is advert is my favourite out of all of them.

The idea behind these adverts is to show that the creme egg is more than just a chocolate as it has a gooey but tasty centre. The advert is all about mass goo-icide and shows a host of creme eggs on mouse traps before one egg comes in above them, unwraps itself then jumps in to the crowd causing an onslaught of gooiness...you have to watch it!

Go Ahead Bar Advert

I have just watched an advert on the TV for Go Ahead fruit bars. Now the adverts for low calorie nutritious, healthy bars are normally boring but this Go Ahead advert really did make me smile.

The Go Ahead advert starts with a woman walking along and seeing an ice cream that makes her hungry. She then fights with a pink teddy that is acting as her hunger and she starts losing the battle, that is until she pulls out her Go Ahead bar and eats it.

Watch the video for yourself and tell me what you think!

Scampi Fries - The Sweet Smell Of Success

This Scampi Fries advert was one that had many rolling in laughter but also caused complaints to be written. If memory serves correctly there was a total of 61 complaints about this advert.

I wont ruin the ending for you but the title of this post gives you an idea to work from. I imagine that who ever thought of this Scampi Fries advert was in fits of laughter and sitting in a pub with their friends getting drunk.

To me this is an advert that the male species will enjoy more than the females and I think that the company behind this Scampit Fries advert have really engaged the younger male audience with this advertising masterpiece.

I give a big thumbs up for this advert.....or should that be fingers!!

Nutri Grain - Elf Baking in Factory

Okay so I couldn't resist, I love these nutri grain adverts sooo much so thought it time to post. These two adverts were aired a few years ago, one promotes the nutri grain bars while the other advertises the nutri grain elevenses bars.

Both adverts follow the same story about the cakey goodness of nutri grain and how they are made by elves in the nutri grain factory, great fun thats what I say!

Heres the first nutri grain advert with none other than the funny actress Alice Barry...



You cant beat the bit where she says "They come out the factory gates at night with the tall hats on doing the kung fu and the bars."

The second follows two men camping outside the nutri grain factory, I just love the guitar song "I saw an elfy hopping along the factory, hopalong elfy, hopalong elfy, elfy mcphee!"

Winegums - Juice - Loose

Maynard Winegums bought out an advert many, many, many years ago that was a huge hit, every one loved it so in good advertising fashion they remade the advert with a few slight differences not too long ago.

The advert centres on a scottish man in an old house, he eats a winegum and starts giving them to different items in the house, he then dances a bit before saying "theres juice, loose aboot this hoose". This may not sound great but if you watch the advert you will see how fun it is.

This is a simple advert that everyone always remembers, good one Maynards. Oh and I must say I love Winegums too.

Smarties Advert - Blue Is Back

This Smarties advert is a triumph in advertising and for very good reason.

Three years ago the Blue smartie was sacked from his place in the smartie tube (now a hexagonal box...damn you Nestle for changing this I loved the tube). The reason why the blue smartie was removed from the smartie pack was because it was the only smartie that had artificial colours and flavourings and Nestle wanted to market these great little chocolates as having no artificial colours and flavourings.

After three long years where Nestle have been beavernig away in a small laboratory some where BLUE IS BACK, yes Nestle have been able to recreate the blue smartie with no artificial colours and flavourings so it can take its rightful place as the most loved smartie in the box.

The advert to show the return of the blue smartie is a marketing genius and I love it very much. Every time I see this advert I laugh and a little smile is evident to see for a short while after...Well done Nestle.



P.S BRING BACK THE ROUND TUBE NESTLE

Fridge Raiders

This advert I found annoying at first but this was because I didnt really watch it properly. After giving the advert my attention it has actually grown on me and I like it very much, although I do admit that who ever came up with the idea of the idea is clearly unstable!

I have never heard of fridge raiders before so seeing this advert has built their brand name with me. This fridge raider advert actually starts off quite innocent with a man taking out a packet of fridge raisers from the fridge before eating them as he goes about getting changed, that is until he keeps noticing his body change to that of a werewolf.

The idea behind the advert is that fridge raiders "Bring out your carnivorous side", I think this is a great advert now.

Nestle Rolo Advert

For those of you who do not know, Rolo's are chocolates that are round in shape and were first cought on to the market in 1938 by Rowntrees of York.

This advert was broadcast in the mid 1990's and it is one I had forgot about until my sister stumbled across it last weekend. Once I saw it I remembered it straight away, I always thought this advert was quite interesting and funny so thought it would make a great addition to the collection!


Rolo adverts for the past decade and more have always played on the plot of loving someone enough to give them your last Rolo. Although some of Nestle Rolo's adverts have been slightly engaging, this one has always been my favourite.
