    Mines are food themed, I wonder why, in no particular order

    1. Marks & Sparks sexy food ads

    2. Finger o Fudge

    3. Hovis bread

    Cracking post Dave!

    I used love two adverts for the same product – Insignia
    The first one (http://bit.ly/2JSlF) because of the catchy music
    The second (http://bit.ly/2nHv8U) because I wanted a shower like this in my home

    Other faves include
    Axe Jet: http://bit.ly/16ZQnU
    Bombing: http://bit.ly/40iwSV
    Holidays Are Coming: http://bit.ly/1amaWj
    Nissan Pathfinder: http://bit.ly/MKy3T
    Charlie Winston singing: http://bit.ly/176SAE

    spose whilst there’s a beer theme going on here seems rude not to include a Guinness ad:

    Man, I used to be hooked on Opal Fruits, absolutely loved them. The Smash advert is my favourite from that list, but I really like the quite recent Honda ads with the ridiculously long songs in them.

    Some good choices there, Dave. I am surprised that even after all this time I can remember the sound tracks to these adverts even before I watched them again. Especially the Wheatabix advert. If you know what good for you, okay! Wheatabix as skinheads. Ah, the power of advertising. It’s like a virus.

    For me, it’s got to be Hamlet. Funny, and also with the memorable tune which I’m betting many people still associate with the Hamlet brand, even though they’ve been banned from TV for a while now.

    Good list. Would, also, include The Lego Kipper ad from the 70´s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2nL5sSSvd0) and, also, the Heineken ad with the posh girl trying to learn cockey (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4VFqbroi1I)

    And the worst right now surely has to be the pathetic Fosters ads? Once upon a time they were intelligent and funny, now they are just awful. I imagine too many meetings and too many cooks created these particular 3 humped camels.
