What other companies have great adverts?

[buffly]

I like the BMW ads....

Mainly cos they pay my wages.

See how if feels.

that actually stopped me in my tracks the first time i seen it, one of very few adverts like that.

Aside from BMW, Honda (and not just the cogs one) have done some interesting adverts

IS there anything BMW don't do well?

Yup. My POS Z4. An hour on Saddleworth Moor the other night after breaking down (again). This time it was the thermostat sticking - on a 2-year old car.

Yes. Enviromental adverts.

It made me want to throw a brick at my TV every time it came on, althoughI think it was more to do with the voice over than anything else.

TBF I have no idea where these are played, it aint England. but agreed that is st.

[XitUp]

Honda. Other than that choir one they've only had great ones for years.

[FourWheelDrift]

Agree with the BMW See how it feels advert.

They also did a load of short films a few years ago by famous directors, showcasing the cars. Very well done, here's a couple of them. They are just big adverts.

The Hire, starring Clive Owen & Madonna, directed by Guy Ritchie - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrLYQnjzH7w

Beat the Devil, staring Clive Owen, James Brown & Gary Oldman, directed by Tony Scott - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qQvXawnmjk

A BMW ad' really annoyed me tonight.

They said something like "Enjoyment is about efficiency" No it fking isn't I have never enjoyed anything that was efficient, particularly when it comes to cars.

oooohhh I'm doing 56mph on the motorway getting 45mpg! I'm really enjoying this.... tts

Oh Jesus, it's a good ad but my wife loves it too much. I remember when she had just got her 325 coupe and used to walk round the house saying "see how it feels" in a deep voice every 5 minutes for 3 months!

[Thats how I roll]

I think VW could take it to BMW...

Vee just dropped it like it vas hot / Let me hear you say "what?" / Unpimp za auto

Cadbury's drumming ape.

Nivea's "what's the best bit of my body?" - is it her ass, or her pits? Yes, the pits win.

Mikado girl photocopying her flange makes me laugh every time too.

Not sure if you guys will have seen them, but Tennents Lager and Mcewans Lager have made some funny ones, also Irn Bru!

The Honda one with the car parts Dominoe effect for the Accord!!

WKD ads always put a smile on my face as does John Smiths!

Good shout! You've missed some good ones out though.

Irn-bru "phenomenal" series.

Jimmy Hill getting murdured in the "not at the world cup" series...

Probably appeals more if you're a tartan army fan, but the full capacity advert was very stirring.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjwwVnReVMw

And the "ist" series of tennent's adverts were very funny too.

I can't find the tennent's voodoo adverts that were really funny too.

John Cleese's adverts for Planter's Pretzels in Australia - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhmecGa5dSE

He also did some good ones for Compaq Computers in the 80s.
