For reasons that I cannot explain, I nominate the Birds Eye "slightly sinister puppet polar bear with a mid-Atlantic accent" series of ads - they make me laugh.

I'm with you on that one, it's Willem Dafoe in a small polar bear suit.

The Cadburys Gorilla would have been my favourite that was until I found this inspired copy.

My New favourite http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghA_4PvV6b0

Have to say the gorilla is a considerably better drummer.....

Cadbury's make very good adverts, the only chocolate company who does?
I like their Will Wonka inspired latest effort. The music from Brazil helps.


I also like that rather nefarious bear who does some sot of hotel chain. Love his attitude.


FENTON! FENTON! FENTON!

really like the holiday advert think its first choice where the guy is clapping everyone as he goes past for some reason makes me feel great and want to go a holiday.

Couldnt agree more!

Love the track playing and the whole atmosphere - someone needs to tell them their ad men definitely hit the spot with this one

Damn I need a holiday.........

For some reason ive just remembered the pirelli one from the 80s where the countach starts the world spinning on its axis again. I daren't look again in case it's st now, but as a kid i thought it was awesome.

I recall the Carling Black Label one that tricks you into thinking it's three adverts.

The one about the power of adverts, love it.

I never knew it was based on that, id did see people were trying to get edf to make the toy. Even had a look on ebay to see if you could buy one, people had tried making them out of playdoh and were selling them for £20 plus.

I have to say adverts dont normally do anything for me I just ignore them but once in a while one captures my attention and really gets through to me. Its really an art to be honest to make a good advert when you see how much forgetable pish there is out there. Always want something to do well when the company has spent time and effort into making a worthwhile advert that actually cheers you up rather than pisses you off.
