my favourite advert

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Drawn a blank Lozzyloz. Best lead is a site called Kazaa but I couldn't get my head round the almost non-existent search function. Sorry - esp as a South African with 9 toenails is almost irresistable.

The one where they make the car out of cake to the sound of the lovely Julie Andrews. Mmmmmmmm.

after shave, hi karate, with valerie leon,

this was a few years ago while working for building soc.

she could have been described " a lady with good prospects in front of her "

[david_carnell]

A combination of the booze thread and the music thread have reminded me of this:

Caffreys (ft. a sample of Jump Around by House of Pain)

You'll have to scroll down to find it.

I'm not Irish, nor have ever been to the Emerald Isle but I bloody love a pint of Caffreys, that track and this advert.

This one has got to be amongst one of the best/worst for getting into your head and staying there all day or night :))

Not sure if this counts as favourite, but it's bloody good

Women's Aid

[SteveT]

That ad is the most sickening and shockingly accurate PGC, it actually made me feel a bit queasy and rather shaken.

Good post in spite of the realities.

The Ferrero rocher ( ?) at the ambassadors ball...

Laaa sooooo sophisticated mwaaaaaah

* discovered they make tic tacs as well.....oddly*

[Xena Worried prince]

Birds eye potato waffles - so waffley versatile

Where on earth dfid the copy writer get off with that one

Almost as good as the old advert for United Chocolate biscuits

"My name is Stan, and I am a Fan, I eat United and I am delighted" ???

Top top advert for me is the White Horses Guinness one (he watches, he waits)

Also love the current car one taht starts "Dad, where do I come from...." and finishes "... that's so cool as Jimmy Jones only comes from Scotland"

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

That car ad grates a bit - why the foreign accent? It would have more impact with a regional one.

[TP18]

I actually am Canadian - this about sums it up for me.

I've never met a woman who didn't like that ad, my 3 female housemates loved it, they t5hought it was pretty sexy, even up to the point where they started fantasising about the guy behind the suit...( I did fool one of them, telling them that it was a real gorilla )

[jaybee82]

Some of the old Tango adverts were good...just a shame they had to lead to the rise of 'Happy Slapping'.

[Xena Worried prince]

Persil are showing adverts marking 100 years at the moment and one of the clips shown is of the young man who wants a clean shirt but it is in the wash so he does it himself and whilst reading the instructions on the persil box he tips it all over the floor and says "Oh mum" in a slightly bemused way

Years since i have seen that advert and brought a smile to my face

Now if only Ben was advertising beef burgers again !!!

I remember a similar

Yes, I remember that ad very well! But for some reason thought it was for Memorex, i.e. the 'is it live or is it Memorex' ads. Unless they had one almost identical...?!

Yep, a classic!

[Sherwick]

surprised that noone has yet mentioned the 'just because the lady loves Milk Tray' ads and the VW ad with the Princess Di lookalike in the 80s (where she throws away all her ex's stuff except the keys to the golf) ...

[HonaloochieB]

The one for the fruit pastilles with the manic Scotsman dancing to Lord Rockingham' XV.

Never gets stale.

HOOTS MAAN THERE'S JUICE LOOSE ABOOT THIS HOOSE.

Priceless.

[bigbadwolf]

Along with the Yellow pages 'J R Hartley' campaign eh Hona. Classic.

[HonaloochieB]

A real heart stringer tugger alright BBW, that one never got stale either.

[bigbadwolf]

Lets not forget Renaults 'Papa and Nicole' from the 90's.
