SaligoBay Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 What are your favourite (or least favourite) ads on French TV? Here's a selection of teatime ones, I've saved the best till last. My least favourite one just now is the McDonalds one about the RM hospitals in France, it makes me angry that they're showing pics of sick children, as if they're not really advertising. Most distressing is the seatbelt one, where the lad in the back ends up with his dead face squashed against the windscreen, and the mother screams. But what about that Malabar bubblegum one!!!! Cartoon of bubblegum factory, little cuddly bear things come along the production line. Each one - and I'm sorry to say this, but it's only the truth - has a pair of little pink balls, and they get sucked off by a machine. Cut back to real-life spotty ado with bubblegum bubble bursting over his nose. Weird! But funny. Not sure it makes me want to buy bubblegum tho!

zeb Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Favorite at the mo is the kid with glass eye car advert. We fall about every time its shown.Ronald McDo advert is sick and the seatbelt ad is very gruesome but I bet it will hit home. Good teatime viewing, eh?

SaligoBay Posted April 9, 2005 Author Share Posted April 9, 2005 Good teatime viewing, eh?It is, isn't it! Just what young children need after a long day at school. Come home to a lovely mug of hot chocolate and unwind in front of condoms, cannabis, and human roadkill. OTOH, maybe they're not ads at all, maybe they're French Reality TV?

Alexis Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Best tea-time viewing is the leprosy one.My fave - I have only seen it once - is the Pepsi Max when he wants to go to the airport and it is a chimp driving. Laughed out loud!I saw another last night I liked but can't remember what it was.Off to watch télé shopping .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 I love the 'ree range' chicken/egg ones, where the chickens live on what seems to be a bowling lawn, surrounded by lovely flowers, and all have little gold tags on their ankles. They don't scratch, just peck, daintily, as a beautiful woman scatters food for them. Then there's the cheese ad/s where a beautiful woman dressed in white, with white sandals, sits on top of a mountain with a gorgeous guy. All they have with them is a pack of cheese and a little knife, but that seems to be enough!My sons favourites, when he was here, were the shower/bath product ads. Can't imagine whytresco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaligoBay Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 Another couple of memorable ones............. the one for some cellulite cream or something like that, where she puts her hands on her hips, then removes her skin like a pair of tights. It's horrible!!!!!! ....... the one for Frisk chewing gum, where the young guy chews some while waiting for his copine. Her boxer dog gets a whiff and jumps him, muzzle to mouth, and copine comes back in as boyfriend is on his back on the sofa, dog on top. Funny and dégeu at the same time. Still looking out for the kid with the glass eye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
