Talk of worst ads and just one names comes to mind - Nirma !!!!
I wonder how such ads get approved by a company and how an ad agency can get such lousy ideas !!!

3)One more very good advt rather public message is the save tiger and in particular the one in which the cub will be waiting for its mom and as loud gun shot is heard

especially the last one. The cub looks so cute. I applaud Aircell for taking up this cause. Aircell has partnered with WWF (not the wrestling org) to lend voice to the issue. Interested people can 'Join the roar' at Save Our Tigers | Home

btw, there are only 1411 tigers left in the wild

The worst one is new Nirma ad, pathetic! And the best one these days is Save Tigers, where a cub is roaming alone in the jungle!

How about new center fresh ad : son give dad a center fresh first and showing the marks card!!!, I liked it

Hurrycane12 · 10th February 2010, 15:09

Nirma is the worst one currently on air no doubt about it.

autogeek · 15th February 2010, 15:29

One of the worst ads lately has been that of the Videocon cell phones. Wonder what they are trying to convey with those stunts. Pathetic!

Latheesh · 25th February 2010, 22:29

How about new Polo ad? I did not see, was busy testing my cooking skill;

heard something like

People falls in holes, people falls in love
so hole is love something like this

I was like ..what? :-)))))

The ad for JK Cement or something like that which is coming repeatedly during the cricket matches where a female comes out of the sea in a skimpy dress. Stupid Ad

and coudlnt they have picked atleast a better looking one?

Jayabusa · 25th February 2010, 22:50

The Titan eye ad with the classic Titan tune brings a smile to my face.

Have you guys seen the Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk ad with the classical dancers?! saliva strings et al! yackk is the exclamation!

I agree! There is no relation between the product advertised and the ad.

Who saw the iBiBo and melons ad. Man I understand humour but this is 3rd grade stuff.

bblost · 26th February 2010, 10:23

I like the Ambuja Cement advert.
Its very simple, low budget stuff but it works.

A guy sits outside a newly constructed house. He tells the camera, that he wanted the best materials. So when it came to cement he chose Ambuja. Although it cost him maybe 3-4 rupees more. And goes on to add that the house required only 500 bags of cement. That an extra 1,500 is worth the quality.

I liked this advt.
