Mine's the Harvey ads by Thinkbox the advertising agency. Fantastic.

And also VW’s ‘Night Drive’ beautifully shot on empty streets to Richard Burton reciting Under Milk Wood laid over Chris Montinez’s ‘don’t blow it’ from Solaris.
Spine tingling, genius.

Absolute classic - Paula Hamilton, clearly been cheated on, dumps everything the rich man has given her, but can’t let go of the car because it’s so reliable!

The T-Mobile flashmobs - one in Liverpool St station and one at Heathrow. Love them!

And the Sainsbury's Xmas ad from 2013 'Christmas in a Day'.

In the 70s when I was a teenager I loved the Martini ads (Christie Brinkley was in one before she became really famous) and the classy, sophisticated advert for Chanel No. 5 in the art gallery. The music to it was just lovely, short as it was.

Also, the Baileys advert (possibly 80s) with the beatiful cat, I think the music was Tales from Hoffman according to my mum when I asked her what it was.

The Irn Bru advert with the Goth Holiday, to Here Comes the Summer by the Undertones, so funny. 😂

I still enjoy the John West advert with the bear fighting the man for the fish.
It’s when the bear does the Ali shuffle that makes me laugh out loud. 😂

The esb going back advert with dusty Springfield singing , it's so very 80s and Christmas for me . Alan off ireland am in the starring role of son coming home being picked up by father while mother prepares the house for his return.

The one with the woman in her car, her solicitor triumphantly waves the divorce papers at her, she beams happily, then looks sad, then grins and drives off joyfully with "Young At Heart" playing loudly on the car radio.

King of the roaaaaad! 🎶

I'd forgotten this one!!!

Allsigns · 25/11/2025 09:20

I always thought this Hovis one was really clever

Wouldnt say they're faves but I can still remember all the words for the comfort vaporesse advert with the people made from rags, and incredible edible anchor spreadable, and if you're lawn is a farce, weeds a right pain in the grass, simply spray this on and in a weeeeeeek.... Dadadadadadaaaa

Does anyone remember the advert that seemed to mostly be in cinemas with the woman in the Beetle warming her coffee and I can see clearly now, I liked that one.

Thank you very much - I'd never seen that ad before (living in the UK - obviously not shown here!), but I absolutely love that song by Dusty.

Just watched it on YouTube - simply beautiful.

It totally embodies the feeling of my childhood, reminds me of my uncles rare returns to home after he emigrated .

The John Lewis advert from several years ago now with the rabbit (hare?) and his hibernating Polar Bear buddy that always slept through Christmas.

Going back a lot further, the Guinness 4 horses of the apocalypse advert was amazing.

Not what the OP was asking but the advert that sticks in my mind the most though was AIDS one 1980's, terrified me as a kid and thought we were all going to die.

Yes when they were chiselling the gravestone. Chills.
