, Irritating, to say the least. I've really lost count of how many new mobile companies are airing their ads during the IPL. Even the videocon mobile ad is irritating.

Pepsi's latest ad with Ranbir - what the hell it is trying to convey?

Silly ad, it's about lengths people go to drink Pepsi. It's shown that he tries to create suspicion by hiding behind a pillar and shown mixing something in the Pepsi to be served to the President. He knows the cctv is watching him. So when he goes near the Prez office, he is forced to drink the pepsi which is what he wants.

Silly ad,but kinda ok.

I like new Docomo ads especially that friends one where they get beaten up black and blue.

prateekm · 17th March 2010, 13:04

Docomos are good. Hate that Akshay's laugh in the mobile ad, it's gross. Also, I kinda liked the Lays ad starring Dhoni and his fan, quite humorous.

MicroMaxx and karbonn are now having an official contest to decide who can produce the worst ad.
I think Akshay makes sure MicroMax wins this contest.

The Docomo ads somehow seem imitations of Virgin and Airtel!
I like the one with the friends haviong a black eye, but the one at the party where the guy and the girl switch partners has the worst acting and emotions possible!

Vodafone Zoo-Zoo ads are the best. I really like all of them.

Pet Hates :
1. LG 3D and Akshay's laugh in some mobile ad.
2. Virendra sehwag and Gowtham Gambhir in yet another mobile ad.
3. Pepsi ad with Ranbir kapoor.
4. Castrol ad, where two boys try to pop up every where in SA.

Have you guys seen the JK super cement's ad? Where a bikini clad women comes out of the water, And all of a sudden "JK cements" What in the world were they thinking

EDIT: Sorry it has been discussed before :(

New Airtel ads are good. Especialy one where the boy asking money to his father for friend's birthday. I too hate the Micromax one, I change channel whenever this particular ad starts.

prince_pervez · 17th March 2010, 20:05

Club Mahindra Ad. Very nicely done. Monday mornings and a reverse comparo. I liked it.

Rodie09 · 17th March 2010, 20:10

Kind of liked the new Voltas ad where kids do a nice jingle - IIRC it sings about Simple and Sensible.

anekho · 17th March 2010, 22:19

the pepsi ad with ranbir wasn't that bad - kinda funny

YouTube - Pepsi's New Ad showing paranoia

benkey2 · 17th March 2010, 23:01

Ford Figo Advts. All are OK type. Fiesta 1.6S adverts. are better than these.

YouTube - Ford Figo TVC - Mehendi

YouTube - Ford Figo TVC - Papa Calling

YouTube - Ford Figo TVC - Statue

The Vodafone ads with the Zoozoos are simply awesome. Especially the one in the jungle YouTube - vodafoneipl's Channel
and the Alerts ad YouTube - vodafoneipl's Channel
