Following on from Greensleeves M&S girl, It got me thinking about TV and Cinema ads from years back...
Which ones stand out for you as funny, inventive, clever, crass, annoying, and making or breaking the product there trying to sell...

My personal favourite is the VW golf commercial with the Gene Kelly "dancing in the rain" breakbeat video...Just Brilliant...



And more recently the Cravendale milk ad with the cats and opposable thumbs...Priceless...

Seemingly in the 60's and 70's the answer to life's little irritations was to light up one of these and initiate chemical warfare on all those around you....ya would'nt get awya with it now

All that apart these were so funny at the time

No shortage of beer commercials here...But what about the classic Guiness ads... The Surfer, The Domino ads and my fave The Indian ad with the Prodigy soundtrack...Didn't tell me much about the beer but the visuals were perfect with the music...

I've always liked the Citreon C5 advert from a couple of years back, maybe its 'Ride of the Valkyries' that does it for me! blushing



And from earlier this year I believe the Honda advery, I only ever seen the full version of this a couple of times, its amazing!!




(wow, two car adverts for someone who isnt really into cars! laugh)
