Although i fail to see the exact/direct connection with the product.

I am guessing here - but it could be the "think different" thing. Maybe they will offer some products / services that could be different ??

The Motorola ad where the father is shouting at his son for messing the room and having a stupid haircut. The son just starts playing the Ishq Tera Garam Masala - Garam Masala Movie song and his father's actions match the songs beat. The expressions on the son' face is priceless. One of the best ads i have seen.

Everytime my dad watches the ad he looks at me and gives a wry smile.

YouTube - most funny ad ever

YouTube - Bajaj Puslar Mania TV Commercial

Vodafone's listen more songs is also perfect.

.kabi kabi mere dil me ....

They have a new scheme where our balance gets credited by 10p for every minute of incoming calls. Saw the ad in the TOI this morning.

There is an ad by Zeiss glasses. It shows a sultry, young, beautiful girl looking at a young man who happens to be wearing glasses.

She does not like his glasses and she says, "Hey, what's on your eyes man." in a particularly rude and crass manner and she leaves in a huff. He is not wearing Zeiss glasses. She thinks he is less than dirt, inhuman, because of it. We are to believe it is quite all right for people, women, to value men all because of the glasses they wear. This ad made me remember the Zeiss brand, for sure. I will never buy another Zeiss product.

- Yes that is a good ad.

Sorry Edit here please.. the model is wearing a Yellow Saree!!! AND NOT RED

N_C : No not the Bajaj XCD Ad, but the Bajaj ad where there are a lot of Different Sized Pulsars Doing Goood stunts!!
By the way i like that Ad too "rote hue jaate hai sab"

Guys, isn't any body else going after the characters (on-screen & off-screen) associated with the new Thums-Up ad featuring Akshay Kumar ?! Destroying a beauty for a bottle of stupid gas-filled water !

Agree with you on this one DD, it is a rather sad ad with an even poorer meaning to it.

Condor: I like the Background track playing. More than that i like that car... what car is it actually?? Looks very nice

maddy42 · 11th March 2008, 14:27

Well the car in the thums up ad is awesome.

The virgin mobile ad was sad!

Spitfire · 11th March 2008, 14:31

The Virgin mobile ad is tryng to potray that the present generation is too smart for the elders. Its in bad taste and trys to show that outwitting your parents is an in thing to do.

well then the ad in which the boy listens to the garam masala song on radio while his father shouts at him is in bad taste too !

Besides every teenager tries to outwit his parents some time or the other. I have also done it. It is harmless and fun. This is my opinion.

I believe that the car is a mustang

The other ad with moto yuva with the garam masala song is simply hilarious....

I dont know if u notice that the fathers hand move in rythm to the lyrics :" tune jadu karrr, tune jadu karrr. tune jadu kar dalaaaaaaaa"

lolzzzzz.

no offenses to anyone. IMHO the ad is in plain harmless humour

No offence Spitfire but its better you dad smiles rather than calling you "Beta Billoo" like in the other ad for the Motorola yuva.

The pulsar mania ad has got good stuff in it but i doubt they should strt showing it on tv. We keep seeing regular features of stuntmen on tv and dont want it to increase
