The Wrigleys "dog breath" one is cool. Pity the tree huggers have complained about it scaring kids...

druddle, it's not just the kids, Mrs D shat herself the first time it came on, then got her **** out coz me & the kids were pi55ing ourselves at her reaction

My personal favourite ATM is the Lynx one, purely because you know that if that was you, the two girls would avoid you like the plague & one of the two guys playing pool would wrap his cue round your head

I like the Dog Breath one - wife hates it - thinks its creepy! LOL

Lynx one is good too - only because as sposted above its sooo far fetched - LOL

Has anyone seen the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang one for road tax from the DVLA - its well funny!

My wife wants to know how they made the Astra advert - the one where the three silver astra's all follow each other as if on a roller coaster - now it was either spectacular driving or its one car been played with on a computer - can you put her out of her misery?

ditto wrigley's dog breath. 'kin inspired. someone liked company of wolves.

the audi ad with the fish "petrol engine without a drink problem" is really imaginative and typically audi-cool. like that a lot.

hhhm. what about the worthington's (?) ad with the skeletons in the bar waiting for their beers? the skeletal dog running away with the bone in its mouth. jason & the argonauts. tip top.

my worst has got to be the halifax ad with the animated version of that irritating coke-bottle spectacled bank manager. urrggh. shiver. memorably dreadful.

The Astra one is very similar to one made by Saab several years ago, I would imagine it was done by well choreographed close formation driving. But I am prepared to be proven wrong

I've always liked the ads for Orange

I still laugh at the thought of the Grolsch one where the guy comes on and says" Stop, what are you doing? This porno film isn't ready. Where's the guys moustache? etc". Cracks me up every time I see it.

I'm sorry peeps, but it's got to be Kylie's Agent Provocateur rodeo riding lingerie ad.

Now that's an advertisement!

Anyone see the Guardian ad a few weeks back re the changes in F1, with the driver getting out and being spun around?

The John West one with the old guy in the background playing a squeeze-box, and the narrator chucks it overboard, so he gets out a mouth organ, and continues to annoy.

I have a real problem with the Smirnoff Weimaraner ad. Mainly, the dog's voice is clearly male, and the actual weimy is a bitch! someone slipped up somewhere! Weims are cool though

I think the dog breath one is cool.

The new Levi (think it's levi) one is cool, the people with mouse heads kidnapping the cat

The new NSPCC ones are pretty good to, very thought provoking.

I think the nicotnell one's are class, eps the old woman beating the ciggy with a cold turkey! classic

Who remembers the old Tango adverts! GOTAN GOTAN GOTAN!!

Dream Weaver - I very nearly (and I mean very nearly) pissed myself laughing when I saw that ad for the first time (actaully saw it twice ). It was as funny as a funny thing on funny day.

For those that didn't see it - F1 car pulls into pit lane and crew commence changes etc. Voice over man says something like "so you want to know how they're making F1 more competitive this year" as a pit crew member assists the driver out of the car and spins him round several times and he then staggers back into the car clearly dizzy. Drives away and then you hear a crash !
