Subject: Radio adverts you like and dislike
Written By: Stompgal on 03/10/06 at 7:24 am
We've discussed TV commercials, so what radio commercials do you love and loathe?
Radio commercials I like:
The DAB Digital Radio ones where a lady in a shop is doing a deal on analogue radios, she says that analogue is the new digital and two women go to a safari park
The Orange advert where the man tells a joke (What is ET short for? Because he's got little legs.)
Sheila's Wheels (also on TV)
The Coldseal Windows one with the three little pigs that was on about 8 years ago
Radio commercials I dislike:
Some of the Think Road Safety ones if they have horrible sound effects
A domestic abuse one where a man calls his wife a stupid cow and he says, "Hard? I'll give you hard!" in the background and a couple next door ignores it and discuss what's on TV. at least a male voiceover says, "Call the police on 999."

Can't think of any I hate, but I do have one I like. A couple of years ago, Mitsubushi had a series of ads featuring the same gravelly-voiced guy that did the radio/tv campaigns for Greyhound at the time. In these ads, he was on the phone with a competing auto manufacturer or dealer. Take the following, for example:
Miitsubushi guy: "How long have you been selling cars?"
Dealer: "A couple hdynsdhd years."
Miitsubushi guy: "Well, did you know about the great deal Mitsubushi Motors has now?" (explains great financing, blahblahblah...)
Dealer: "I'm gonna kick your ahdyudjd..."
Miitsubushi guy: "Get in line!" ;D

I never listen to commercial radio stations, so I wouldn't know... :)

For those in the New York area, you might have heard ones for the Fucillo Auto Mall. They also do TV ads as well. Big loud mouth Billy Fucillo and his "HUUUUUUUGE" slogan. Gets annoying after a while ::)

As far as I knew, there aren't any real radio ads that extend very far. So unless you live right around me, I reckon you wouldn't know any.
Plus, I don't listen to the radio much, so none stick out.

I also like the adverts for HP Printer Carteidges. There's one where a woman is playing the violin and she plays the A flat note, but it appears to be an ink blob on the score. There are also blobs on a script in the other advert.
