This commercial played so often when I was a kid, I was completely enthralled. I got one after asking for it for two Christmases. My parents thought there was something wrong with me.

On a completely different note (and especially good for parents), is this one:

You got Whitney Houston for Christmas? How the other half live, all I got was some Lego.

Whoops! Now corrected. I think you will see that we part of the same half.

This pretty much sums up the dynamic between me and my boy.

Here we are together. Spot the grown up 🙂

This one left a lasting impression on me. Others thought I had imagined it but YouTube proved me right!

That ad for the safety systems on the M Class. Maybe he should bloody look where he’s going and not at the baby in that bloody rain.

So beautifully done.

Bit of a cheat as it’s a viral rather than a TV ad, but still.

I liked the advert that was split into three parts – one at the beginning of the break, one in the middle and one at the end. It was an Aborigine guy throwing boomerangs and they didn’t come back. I think he then drank some Heineken (or did he smoke a Hamlet cigar?) and they all came back at him.

It was the first time I had seen an ad split like that and for the first two parts you had no idea what they were selling – compelling.

Honda ads are fantastic the first time you see them, but they do get very boring after the first viewing.

Step this way M’Lady 😉

This is the best advert ever fact…..

Or maybe it’s this one – I’m never sure 8)

This ‘don’t join the IRA advert’ always stuck with me when I was little, although watching it again, it’s not so subtle!

This is just becoming a nostalgia trip but…

+1 for the Guinness horses ad.

Thank you for calling them ADVERTS! They are ADVERTS fergawdsake! (apologies if you are actually American, call them what you like).

Carlos Fandango is the best obviously, but there’s this too

Always liked this.

I was about to post the ‘lizard on the phone’ one. I’d have been 15 when that aired, made me go a bit funny.

Strange trailofdestruction video didn’t show up when I first opened the thread. Still imo can never have to much of the advert.
