I'm sure this has been done before, but just wondering what your favourite advert is.

Mine is the Jaffa cake one - full moon, half moon, total eclipse. Still makes me laugh 😁

Mine is a John Lewis christmas one, the one with the snowman and the song the power of love. Close second is buster the boxer one.

I have a few.

The VW one with the sleeping wife with a squeaky earring.

The British Gas one where the dog kisses the cat who kisses the mouse.

One which I can't remember well,I think it was actually an advertising agency. A man let's his Jack Russell out, and it returns with a another dog with puppies. I remember really laughing every time.

One more! the coffee bag advert. The guy trying to talk but the ship keeps sounding its horn. His acting was brilliant.

One for the Scots

So many good ones. Kia Ora - to orangy for crows.

MsJuniper · 08/09/2023 22:18

The one where the children are acting like they are the parents taking them out for the day. The standout line is "Overtired" if anyone remembers it!

Also "You won't believe what they've done in your bathroom"

The Guinness advert with horses.
The Lloyds Bank advert(s) with horses.
The Coca Cola adverts, probably all of them but especially teaching the world to sing.

Sparkl · 08/09/2023 22:20

Loved the Jaffa one as well

I used to love the Peter Kay John Smith's adverts. The one when he tells his mother he is taking her to an old people's home because the kids are afraid of her moustache and he wants to put a snooker table in her bedroom was a good one.

I used to always enjoy the Domestos adverts in an odd way too. The talking germs screaming at the sight of the bleach bottle.

Armadillos!
