With TV broadcasters in meltdown over hoaxes and fakery scandals, many advertisers have continued to flirt with the viewer over what is real and what is not. And yes, drumming gorilla, that includes you.

I do think the Gorilla ad was brillant. The Sofa adverts really do my head in. One of the best Ads I say over the festive period of the M&S ( Mark & Spencer ) one. I didn't see a Festive Coke one this year. Guinness one knocking down all the furniture must of taken time to make..

I usually mute the adverts as they do my head in, I'm sure I've missed the odd good one by doing this but lets be honest most adverts are just downright annoying Mad

I think I've watched commercial TV maybe three or four times all year, so can't remember *any* adverts whatsoever! Very Happy

I don't see many ad's as the wife immediately channel hops when they come on! Rolling Eyes

One from last Christmas made me laugh where the excited family opened the presents, ate, partied, ate more and all fell asleep on the couch.

Then a little battery powered Dalek rolled past the couch with it's eye stick looking up at the heap of snoring people saying "exterminate, exterminate"...

That appealed to me. Laughing

I liked the Boots ad with Ernie K-Doe's 'Here Come The Girls' on. My elder niece's two stepdaughters are always referred to as 'the girls', so it makes me think of them!
