Got to say, I was thinking what the hell is this for and was very surprised when it turned out to be Southern Comfort. Clever as it is completely different to all their other ads featuring gorgeous people doing exciting things in New Orleans.

Sort of similar to Cadburys adverts.

The new Visa advert in the toyshop is quite cool too.

Another vote for the new Southern Comfort ad. It's the first tv ad in ages that made me curious as to what it was advertising, and made me remember the name of the product afterwards. Really good!

Yip and yip.
Thought it was going to be a piss take for a while, but I still watched it...and it wasn't a piss take! Just a normal fella enjoying his booze in the sun, fking A!
Makes all those cookie cutter ads (like Morgan's rum) with a bunch of model wkers appear even stter than normal if that's even possible.

Another vote for the Southern Comfort ad, pure brilliance. Don't like the stuff but this does give the brand a significant halo!

Southern comfort one is good for some reason.
Best is the little girl with the Oreo's biscuits. 'You dont have to say Mmmmmmm...I do it because I cant help myself.'

Agree with all of the above, it's a fantastic advert.

This Southern Comfort ad, I can see how you all think it is good, because it displays a positive message (as much as an alcoholic drink can), but realistically, how many more times do you think you'll sit through it?

I got it first time around, didn't really remember what it advertised though, then the second time I saw it, which was on 3 or 4 days later, as it was happening, I began to remember the brand and product. The 3rd time I see it, I'll probably do anything else not to watch a fat swolen man walking on the beach.

Just my 2pence.

Agreed yes

The ad for life insurance reduced a grown man to tears the first time I saw it! Did. not. expect that.. Simple, understated and very effective.

Another ad that had a real effect on me was the truly great Impossible Dream ad.

I couldn't afford a new Honda but it was directly responsible for me eventually buying an Accord Type R. Shame it was a dog frown

Those of us of a certain age will though forever have those 1970's government safety ads ingrained on our minds: playing on railways, reservoirs and that ad with broken glass on the beach. Yowch!! eek

Normally, I hate the Halfords ads on Dave before Top Gear with a passion, but the guy with the Volvo who can't pronounce 'sulphuric acid' and can't get the bonnet open cracks me up every time.

That fat bint who can't change a bulb though - shoot
