Best and worst of the TV ads

It takes a lot to make me watch adverts instead of switching channels or fast-forwarding through them, but there are a few good ones on at the moment.

I laughed out loud at the 118 Ghostbusters ad, when they introduced farm animals to the scenario and sang 'I ain't afraid of no goats'.

Equally silly and amusing in the pun stakes is the meerkat telling us not to confuse meerkat with market in the ad for Comparethemarket.com - let's face it, animals are usually entertaining.

I even quite like the new Halifax ad, with the human pyramids handed out fivers. At least no-one sings in it.

I want to go to work in a water slide like the Barclays ad, which by the way features actor Robert Wilfort who plays Stacey's brother Jason in Gavin & Stacey.

But what about the bad ones? I can't stand all the bingo adverts. They do absolutely nothing for me and I wonder if they can persuade anyone to indulge in a game.

The Sainsbury's credit crunch family are patronising, and then of course there's the perennial 'you buy one, you get one free' yelled slogan for double glazing, which is just horrendous.
