Kuch baat hai..

I have decided! Oh yes, I have!

From today onwards, in every few weeks I will upload my favorite advertisements on the blog. Just like that. Because it is MY blog and I decide what goes here :D

Anyway, nonsense apart, there have always been advertisements that are worth applauding. It has been ages since they have stopped being considered as 'breaks' between tv series and have gained a strong foothold in the world of television.

They make us laugh, cry, wonder, believe and smile!

:)

So here's to ads!

P.S: I am sure most of you will be reminded of your favorite ads and they are going to be truckloads and you are going to mention them in the comments.. but please keep the suggesting-an-ad-part light.. There are going to be loads of ads put up here.. in good time, for all of us to remember and enjoy! :)

I don't know why I chose this one over others, to be the first one in the series.. but I just did!

:)

video

This one's for a friend, I'd rather not say who though :)

Kya swaad hai.. zindagiiiii mein!

56 'cutting' aur bol! :D:

neha said...

lucky is that friend!

HP said...

and i love the 'rishtey pakne do' ad. are you going to put that up? plz say yess !!

Bhai with Chai said...

@ Think Tank
What hair!! Fab!
and yes.. Idea ones rock!
(apart from other ads, I have this soft corner for AB.. so.. *blushin* )









@ neha
lol.. kurkure wala is too loud! :)
I like the one put in :) thanks!

No that friend is not "Lucky".
Phir toh 'oye lucky lucky oye' ho jata! :D :D
SAD one! :P












@ HP

mayz said...

this is one d cutest ads ever...love d way she dances!!!

Bhai with Chai said...

@ mayz
yesss :) I like the guy's expression too! ;;)

Rakesh said...

I know this ad, where 2 guys sit discussing about the name of a restaurant, one guy keeps on remembering... finally hits on it 'Rose' but that's the name of his wife he was trying to remember so he calls out "Rose darling, what's the name of that restaurant we went to..." and ends with the tag line... Men will be men :)

I don't remember the product - Maybe McDowells or something. But it cracks me up everytime, especially the expressions on the guy's faces.

neha said...

aye haye.. :/
ufffo.. bohat he sad n BAD bhi! :P

Bhai with Chai said...

@ Rakesh
Sounds nice! Wonder why I cannot recall this one, maybe I'll search for it and refresh my memory! :)

Trinaa said...

my space said...

bhai..the video took a long time to upload and you know what? This was the first ad that came to my mind..
And then came...vajradanti vajradanti vajradanti vicco vajradanti..tooth powder tooth paste :-)
DD par itni bbar dekha hain ki chap gaya hain dimag par..
Recent ads I like ..idea..petrol khatam nai hota..and the latest asian paints..where the old lady tells her husband..I am Always right!!

DeeplyDip said...

hey my first time here and must say this ad brought back old memories! i was in school and anytime this advert would show up on tv, we all froze...a fresh smile everytime you watch it...
amongst the new ads i love the vodafone series with the dog...esp the one about their customer service- small girl swimming and the dog running with a towel for her in anticipation - too good...

Lena said...

this one surely is cute :D
and her dancing... umm.. cool!! :D
