my favourite advert

[SteveT]

I remember the clairol advert the one with the made up eyes, clicking like a camera shutter, after each click there was a differently decorated eye.

It seemed so simple and cheaply made, yet attractive and memorable. Anyone else have a favourite ad?

keeping the adverts local too I see PGC

[mightyroar]

i really like that one when the little girl asks her sister.....what do you like best, Daddy or chips, then her Dad nicks one of her chips.........so she says......Chips.

and I really really really cant stand that one with Nicole Kidman adevrtising Chanel perfume. OMG! FFS! makes me want to puke.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Am completely oblivious to what you mean.

The first time I have seen that ad PGC, brilliant!

[SeanMacGabhann]

the Carling ad that PGC posted stars Stephen Frost - who ran the local comedy club at EDT back in the day

Have to say this one cracked me up when I first saw it, the Hamlet Cigar one.

"Daddy or chips" was a classic: nice one Mighty. One of my favourite recent ones is that one with a mum and teenage daughter, where the daughter is extolling the virtues of her friend's mum, including the fact that she eats a certain breakfast cereal, the conversation evolving just as the mum in the ad is helping herself to said cereal. For sharpness of script, timing and delivery, it is hard to beat. Still, the fact that i know not what cereal it promotes is testimony either to the ineffectiveness of ads or the paltry nature of my memory.

I like this too:

I've always liked this one, for Tabasco Sauce.

Not necessarily a great ad but definitely a great campaign

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

This is worth a giggle

[LizzygotDizzy]

Have to say, this thread has really cheered me up def good for a giggle, and really sweet of people to take the trouble to post the actual adverts, yup, def brightened up my day X Thanks everyone X]

As an early Bauhaus fan I used to love this ad

but it also serves as a useful reminder that adverts are fantasy at best and lies at worst

[*Bob*]

I think this is just about as good as television advertising gets. The fact that the product itself ought to have been unsellable is the cherry on the cake.

Although, have to say I do love the one currently doing the rounds with the gorilla playing the drums to Phil Collins' "in the air tonight" was just so random and did nothing for cadburys chocolate, (if that was the product they were advertising!) =]

Jaffa Cakes:

"Full moon",

"Half Moon",

"Total eclipse" (as the teacher scoffs the jaffa cake in front of the kids)

"And again, Full moon"...

Kids VERY bored looking!

Her accent made it even funnier.
