good ad time

in the times of betrayal, extra - marital affairs, murders and suicides hogging the lime light on the news and the various other channels...what does the viewer get to see that makes him/her smile??

the stand up comedians from the previous years laughter challenge shows have also become too monotonous and mundane to watch...the music channels have now become a part of the reality show league with some girls pretending to be hot n chic just trying to gain some camera space...

so again it comes to whats there to watch that makes you smile...and bingo..the ad makers come into the picture...recently a string of ads have come on screen that highlight the notion of bringing a smile to the viewers face....that love and concept of family/friendship still exist...something that was getting lost in all the sensationalized news channels....

so here are few ads that i have found to be really amazing....

1) Airtel ad 1



2) Airtel ad 2


3) Vodafone ad


4) Maruti Suzuki ad 1



5) Maruti Suzuki ad 2




hope u guys like them...do let me know

cheers!!

Sandhya said...

Hey same pinch. even i love all these ads.

n I love also that happy to Help, vodafone add in which a little girl with a dog comes.

maverick said...

@sandhya...ya that ad is also good..one of the good things hutch/vodafone have done since they ve come up with this advertising strategy...

lukkydivz said...

humbl devil said...

airtel ads rock...
:)

maverick said...

@humble devil..i knw..kinda like the vodafone n maruti ads too...

Spiky Zora Jones said...

mav...sweetie, I don't like to watch commercials. They are okay, but it has to hit me good....like real witty or funny.

sweetie...forget the adds...spend your time playing an instrument, doing art, people watch at a popular gathering place...it's amazing what you see, feel and formulate in your head. Better yet, babes...take a girl on a date. Read poetry to her and in the morning when the sunlight comes through your window like golden ribbons...turn to her and...I don't need to tell you what to do and say...hehehe,

Ciao babes.

Lena said...

watch the videos, watch the videos .. huh! and no translation for the first 2 done? grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

ash89 said...

the vodafone ad was cute initially... but too much of anything is bad!! the ad comes evry 5 minutes!!

Keshi said...

for some reason I hate commercials.

but these ones r nice! I like funny ones :)

Keshi.

maverick said...

@spiky...lol...will post the funny n witty ones too sometime...these ones were totally related to the indian tv context...

taking a girl out on a date..hmm..difficult wen i work 9 to 8....hardly get anytime..plus lot of other factors

maverick said...

@lena..lol..will do that for u soon :)

maverick said...

@ash89...well u dont ve to watch it every 5mins..flip the channels :D

maverick said...

@keshi..well glad u liked them..will put a few funny ones soon :)

Anonymous said...

i agree with you. Vodafone and airtel might be crappy brands, but their ads are beautiful

maverick said...

@buzz...lol..well they are the only 2 players in the gsm circle to provide a host of services..so we gotta live with them :)

Sach1 said...

hey nice post thr!
but don't u like the virgin mobile adds..I mean they suit ur definition of good adv..

Anonymous said...

so praji ko vidya aur mady ki ad pasand aayi :) crush on VB ?

maverick said...

@sach..i do like those ads..but this post was related to the series of ads which came up in a short span....the intent was not the list of ads..but the ideology behind them :)

n welcome the blog

maverick said...

@ashu...she has amazing eyes n a better than amazing smile

ash89 said...

what if they are on every channel?

maverick said...

@ash89...lol..no ad wud come at the same time on 2 channels simultaneously...doesnt make sense in revenue terms

i loveeeeeee teh hutch ads,,
n i love teh lyrics n the song.. "every day i wanna smile, stay by my side......"- really cute lil' girl with tat adowableeee pug!

n the airtel ads- not only did tehy get two stars, but also a great spark of emotion n chemisty!!

yehhh, aidst all teh killings n sadness these channels focus on, they never talk of teh goot things that happen in life- the feel-good things that rub off some optimism n goodwill.. maybe tatz why i love 'travel n livin'!!:)
