some make u appreciate the creative genius, some test your patience repeatedly….

here is a list of tv ads running on worth mention…….

Out of tens of thousands I have picked up ones representing key business houses…

CREATIVE GENIUSES CATEGORY:

SBI CREDIT CARD (Pickpocket ad)….. absolutely brilliant stuff…. u need to closely watch to appreciate the subtlety…. almost all SBI ads are equally bright and whacky…. great work by their marketing agency!!!

HORLICKS (Kids stealing milk)…. fantastic…. bang on target and whacky at the same time……. very creative and well directed too. They have come a long way from that Opaang-Japaang crap to brilliantly conceived ads….

HUTCH ADs…. usually very bright and suave…. less so recently with the Hutch-goes-pink and Mausa-Mausi-Cousins… stuff

TATA SAFARI (Roller Coaster): Fantastic stuff again….. well concieved….

BAJAJ DISCOVER ads (Jackie Chan, Harry Potter): Very creative… though the agency’s copyright infringement of Harry Potter without seeking permission was shocking

NAUKRI.com (Hari Sadu): Smart & Funny and bang on target.

FEVICOL (Overloaded truck ad): Simply superb, considering it just drives point home by video alone (recommended by spark)

AIRTEL (Power of Expression): Elegant, though would love to see better narration to go along with the video….  (suggested by Raghav)

COKE (Ash whistling): Cute and Funny… though would love to see a concept different from “Thande ka tadka”…. (suggested by Vrij)

HONOURABLE MENTIONS CATEGORY:

SURF EXCEL (Daag acche hain): Cute ad… makes u smile every time…. and importantly, softly drives the point home……

VOLTAS (India ka AC)….. though we may hate it outrightly, it still stirs and rides on that patriotic wave…. India ka AC…. Though I think ur AC mechanic would be saying the same once the AC stops working…. after all it was India ka AC….

VIP (Chaddi mein Gaddi): Smart and funny way to put a point across

TRAUMATIC CATEGORY:

LUX (Shahrukh)…… Never thought SRK could look this ghastly…. terribly concieved ad….

RAJNIGANDHA (East India Company): Worst ad ever to be aired… making complete fools of the brand and the media team behind it

KWALITY WALLS (pleasure up)……… terrible terrible ads…. could as well be used to sell contraceptives…… the marketing team needs to explore creativity

TEA BOARD OF INDIA (Chai piyo): Ghastly. Absolutely besides the point though feebly humorous

ICICI (Hum hai na)……. I bet the media team does not know whom they are trying to target with that ad…. terrible terrible bank with an ad to match (suggested by Saaya)

VIP (bye bye boyz): go Gals…. fall for the ad… buy this suitcase as soon as u dump ur boyfriends….. (suggested by Saaya)

PEPSI TV: Almost a crime against TV lovers…. imagine such crap coming from Pepsi quarters who have given some gems in past (suggested by Saaya)

PONDS Fair & Handsome: Awful awful… I think they do exactly the opposite of promoting a product (suggested by Amita)

MOUNTAIN DEW (All ads): No creativity, no appeal… I wonder who would take on the drink with an ad like that (recommended by spark)

RELIANCE HELLO: Change-the-channel-immediately kind of ad… total lack of creativity (remmended by Raghav)

CHEVROLET AVEO: Pathetic ad for a great car… makes even hit duo of Rani & Saif look bad (suggested by Vrij)

FORD FIESTA (Go Fida etc.): Giving Aveo’s ad a stiff competition in worst ad ever for an Indian sedan (suggested by Vrij)

SPRITE (Sania): Ads as bad a Sania game these days…. (suggested by Vrij)

IDEA CELL: Except for 9-8… music, the ads are total crap (suggested by Vrij)

Now… definitely there are more than these……. let me think…….
