Best ad of all time

Re: Best ad of all time

not really, its a cultural thing. The idea is that you get a pint of guinness, the 'rich dark flavour' - sit back, relax and let the world go by.

I actually did find it worked, its a pleasurable drink but definitely not to be rushed. Not had one for a while since I stopped smoking ages ago, it does put weight on but is very good for the blood!

Italian villages making large glasses out of books and the swimming race in the med???
If they showed a few shots of Dublin I might be impressed. Guinness is an Irish drink which seems to have been forgotten by the marketing dept.
PS I always drink Guinness while in Eire so I suppose the adverts work!!

The Smash adverts with the aliens!! Love that!!

There's one at the moment that always gets a cheap laugh from me - the Mikado advert where the chinese girl is trying to reach the chocolate sticks on the high shelf over the photocopier. Makes me laugh every time.

And i know im gonna sound like an old moaner but seriously...ads these days suck BIG TIME. I could watch ads all day when i was a kid. I used ask me mum why there wasnt a channel full of adverts!

Now i watch an ad and i sometimes dont even understand what its advertising!

I must be an old moaner too cause I too found adverts more fun then, than what they are now.

Re: Best ad of all time

Never seen that one before. But maybe it was a US one, didn't we have the New Seekers doing it instead?

Re: Best ad of all time

This Advert is probably my all time fave. As a kid I didn't really know much about the cold war or the "Soviet threat" but I remember asking my mum what they were singing about. I recall her telling me there were people who like war and people who don't and those kids were singing to those that did.

YouTube - Coca Cola - I Am The Future Of The World - 1986 - UK Advert

Re: Best ad of all time

I see this thread has been running longer than The Simpsons but my fave ad must be ......

The Linx effect... when thousands of half naked babes chase a young guy onto the beach ...... just one question. Why the hell was he running
