With an Andy Williams song; just doesn't get much better than that, does it. Honda sure know how to make great adverts.

But have advertisers got it wrong?

They always show that ad during the F1. I hate the ads in the F1, they are desperately annoying. Does this subliminaly turn the viewer off the product concerned?

Just looked at Andy Williams discography, and it credits AW with The Impossible Dream in 1972.
Those were the days.

I thought the ad was brill, but how many normal people get to go through life and use all the vehocles that they do in the ad?
Loved the shocked silence when the boat fell, to come out in a hot air balloon! Wickedly funny!

How annoying would this have been to set up, I saw a dvd once about the making of this ad, some VERY clever concepts and ideas, although i wouldnt ever have the patience to try it, mousetrap when i was a kid did it for me.

completely agreed, also loved the mousetrap one (with all the cogs and stuff) and the diesel ad ("can hate be good"

If you have Homechoice you can watch them on demand to your heart's content on the Ad channel

I should imagine it would be like setting-up 600 dominoes.
