I think the most catchiest modern-day advert has to be the Frosties advert of the mid-2000s. That kid who sing "They're Gonna Taste Great" - the one who allegedly got death threats for annoying them! Seriously, a very good tune. Anyone know what I am referring to?

Yep, they've started selling in shops lately.

The new logo is certainly nicer, and the silly 'staff banter' PC World adverts were always annoying, so it's nice to see those have gone.

Edit : I still don't see why computer manufacturers insist on appending the Intel sting to every ad for machine with an Intel chip inside. To be honest, it's not like the average Joe Potential Customer is going to know what the 'processor' is.

Because of the ad subsidy Intel offers. If they're prepared to pay out, I can't imagine why most manufacturers would care about how it comes across to the 'average Joe' for those two seconds.

The Carcraft ad is starting to annoy me now. Do they really think that we won't realize that tune is a total rip of Walkin' On Sunshine?

...or the fact it's a re-hash of an advert they used 5 years ago (well not sure how many years ago but it's something like that).

Haven't seen that advert myself. What channels does it appear on?

That too, but alot of ads re-use old material now, so I myself, I'm used to it.

At first I thought this was local as I only ever saw it on Granada, but then I saw it appear on Challenge.
