Ok so i suppose this isnt exactly 'entertainment' but i'd probably get flamed for putting it elsewhere.
I've just seen this advert about a cancer charity which showed a young girl receiving treatment and her parents just looking sad and trying to be strong whilst a slow song by what sounded like keane played in the background.
Not many adverts seem to do this but this one just made me sad and made me really want to help the charity (which i guess was the whole point of the ad)
Another advert that made me feel this way is the one where theres a woman trying on a wedding dress and looks over her shoulder and says 'my mum should be here'.
What adverts have affected you ?

If you watch the UKhistory channel it's full of them.
This is a harsh ad...

Also the cancer research one, where he sees his wife in the mirror and the 'Mum should be here' they both make me cry.
Don't drink and sit at tables then! Sorry... that advert annoys me. If your going to make a drink driving one, do better than that.
Aid ones, RSPCA, and NSPCC ones make me feel really sad... people who abuse people or animals should be shot. In the fucking knees.
If a charity can afford a multi-million advertising campaign, and if a charity can afford to pay its CEO a six-figure salary, then it doesn't need my money. I also have issues with what the RSPCA in particular pisses its money away on.
As for the drink-driving ones, the most telling advert I've seen recently is the one where the kid gets hit and stands up again. Because the car was doing 25mph instead of 35mph.
lol
I have to turn off the one where the man gets knocked off his bike too, it reminds me of my dad. Not because that happened to him or anything, but because it easily could..
The advert with the little girl and the tree always gets me.
The one where the lass gets thrown across the pub... the two lads are sitting at a table that hits her, and it talks about drink driving.
They are sitting at a table... not a car. So tables are obviously dangerous when drunk!
Eheheh. I thought that was for a new Zombie film when I saw it first... at the cinema! Then I laughed...
Does that make me bad? Should I stop thinking about Zombies? ARE they going to kill us?
Yus, sorry bit slow atm
It's just a dog, really. There are more important things.
i tend to get more upset by the animal ones, like the wspa one with the bears
I don't tend to find any adverts sad. They're almost always actors, and even when they aren't, I just assume they are. Particularly that one with the girl on a drip with cancer, especially when she's running around in the Petit Filous advert afterwards.
I do usually find those little mini-documentaries on Comic Relief and stuff like that quite sad. But generally, I'm a cold-hearted bastard.
That's a fake.
The only one's that half affect me are the one's that show near dead Ethiopian children and shit like that.
Weetabix ad with "I will survive"
all the "injury lawyers" type ads

Thats quite good that one.
No adverts really bother me. Can't see how some of them can affect anyone to be honest.
Lets start with the adminstrative staff on mega wages, and move on through the multi-million advertising campaigns and the aggressive student fundraisers.
The anti-fox-hunting campaign.
The pointless prosecutions against people who have done no wrong- such as the couple who were prosecuted for daring to go on holiday for a weekend and leave the cat outside, with access to food and shelter in the garden not the house.
The RSPCA piss millions of pounds away every year, I find their politics odious at best, and I point-blank refuse to give them a single penny.
And I really hate the way that, because they say they care about animals, people get it into their heads that the RSPCA do good.
