Default Favourite old TV ads

What's yours? Do they make you laugh? Do they make you cry? Good stories? Special effects? Does it say more about you than the content itself? Here's 2 of mine

1) Cheltenham and Gloucester - 1990s. There was a series of these sort of ads of this kid diving for pearls and I always saw him as a strange Aqua Boy sort of hero the way he'd thwart the divers as they try to grab him.



2) Scottish Widows. These ads always seem quite sinister yet camp. The widdow never ages, a lot of the time she's roatating whilst outstretchign her arm and is it implied she murdered her husband the way she smirks and walks along clifftops?

Three classics here that I think a few people could agree on.

1) Guiness - horses. I think it was voted best advert ever on a TV show a few years back.



2) Sony Bravia - bouncy balls. I saw a 'Making Of' documentary and they're quite loud and lethal. And it was over so fast.



3) Tango Clear - Sony Bravia spoof. This controversial one was an obvious p!ss-take of the above ad and reportedly had complaints from Swansea locals who claimed they didn't give the crew permission to shoot, that too much damage was done, that no one cleared the mess afterwards and that the toad was hurt during filming.

Lol, I used to hide behind my BN BNs. Why on earth did they stop making them?

I miss Winner Tacos, Chicago Town stuffed crust triangle pizzas and those UFO yogurts from Onken as well.
