Johnny Bognor Posted 20 December, 2009 Share Posted 20 December, 2009 just watching ads of the decade, is there any ads from t.v/ cinema that stand out for you. i particularly like the john smiths series of ads with peter kaye. ave it!!! They are not a patch on the adverts of the 80's and early 90's. Take the Carling adverts for example... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVSBtivbUs4 They would never be allowed in this age of wishy washy politcal correctness. They used to be clever AND humerous, like this: Or this All we get now is grand creative and special effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge too far Posted 21 December, 2009 Share Posted 21 December, 2009 Can't stand the stuff, but this advert is far and away my favourite: I think I've loved all the Guinness adverts (I can't stand the stuff either). And one of the ones that came in the top 3 - the Honda advert - was pretty darned good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC the idea for that ad was STOLEN from some chap who pitched it a few months earlier to some young upstart who dismissed it then went and sold it to his bosses.

Maybe someone else remembers the story? You're right. Guinness did take have to recompense the bloke who originally ptiched it. It's still an excellent advert though. I hate the modern medium of advertising, so that's quite something for me to admit. I know Britain is the world leader in sophisticated advertising, but personally, I can never see the value past: here's the product, this is what it does, and here's the price we want you to pay. I sort of like Cillit Bang adverts for that quality. The bullsh!t is kept at a basic level that I can cope with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamster Posted 21 December, 2009 Share Posted 21 December, 2009 There are so many ads that you recognise the theme, you get the so called 'joke' yet if asked what the product being pitched was you wouldn;t have the foggiest. What a waste of time and money by self important execs. I am actually quite proud of my batgain hunting skills and in spite of the good marketing campaigns that do hit the spot I am still not a brand name whore. It may add 5 minutes to the total shopping experience but the joy of saving loads at the till gets me quite turgid sometimes. I have been known to take my receipts to work to show off my amazing skill. My dad suggested a tag line for an ad when i was a kid which has stuck with me and maybe one day i'll give them a bell, it was: "Don't wonder how to wander, get a Honda!" Brilliant (and mine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamster Posted 21 December, 2009 Share Posted 21 December, 2009 Best ad ever is the old castlemain XXXX one with Hogan on Deal beach, 2 blokes bait digging, Hogan asks what they're doing and one replies 'digging the channel tunnel haha'. Hogan points to Deal pier and says 'hope it goes further than yer bridge' sips beer and walks away. Genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 21 December, 2009 Share Posted 21 December, 2009 Has anyone noticed how many adverts from yesteryear are making it back onto our screens? I saw the old KitKat Father Christmas Raymond Briggs advert tonight, that took me back to my youth! Also, the old Milky Way ad with the Red car and the Blue Car, and, well there are others but memory escapes me. Oh yes, the John Cleese Accurist ad and the Persil ads through the years...... Have companies run out of ideas, or is it a nostalgia ploy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 22 December, 2009 Share Posted 22 December, 2009 'Belly's gonna get ya', 'have it' and 'you know when you've been tangoed' stand out for me. Any advert that starts a playground craze is doing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedAndWhite91 Posted 27 December, 2009 Share Posted 27 December, 2009 The James Nesbitt "What Happened?" advert is a good'un. The first Carling one that Johnny Bognor posted up there somewhere is well good. Other than that I absolutely detest adverts, especially all these "cash your gold in for a low interest loan and get a free text date" type ones. Horrible.

Not particularly offensive IMO! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_George_(commercial) Appears it wasn't pulled after all! Just that they'd spent all their budget on making the thing and could only afford to show it 10 times... I'd always assumed it was banned because I saw it and then it was gone. Bloody brave thing to do, especially as Youtube and viral marketing didn't exist back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 27 December, 2009 Share Posted 27 December, 2009 These were always classics: trying to remember all the words at the end of this was a regular challenge at school: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7vfl5iRueU Watch out for these!!: This verges on NSFW http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEhfxGGCDzY although this is the backing track best remembered: First time that I saw this was at the cinema, as you can tell I found it quite impressive on the big screen. but then this one always seemed to make folks laugh But this is the cinema classic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
