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

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?
