Best ever TV Advert
So we have the worst TV advert of today thread, but what was your all time favourite advert from the past and what is the present advert from the same company? I think there is a trend that present adverts are weak. Just look at the comparisson.

This has to be mine
YouTube - Guinness Surfer Ad (with Horses) 1998

Re: Best ever TV Advert
Pretty much covered in this thread:
Best advert on tv now!!


Though ads these days just don't compare to what they used to be, all about being annoying musical ones these days.

Meh I thought it was a bit silly banning it. Just thought it made a good point in a humorous & direct way. Lifes short so have some fun once in a while!

Re: Best ever TV Advert
Maybe the other thread didn't bump and went to the next page, thats why the OP made this?

Remember this GC section has soo many threads, yours can get lost easily.

Is it possible to merge them? i.e Paste the real posts in this one and delete this thread?

Re: Best ever TV Advert
I said on the other thread, it has to be this one.

YouTube - Honda Accord greatest ever car advert

Although whenever I watch it, it always reminds me of this one

YouTube - Carling Black Label (1989)

(don't know why it's just a link, not done anything different)

Re: Best ever TV Advert
YouTube - iPod Commercial - Shake It! Metro Station

I liked these ones
They seem to be going back to this kind of thing. Have you seen the new nano ad advertising its Camera?


But These new iphone ads are a bit annoying, especially as they have fast forwarded it it says in the small print.
