    Default Best Advert ever?

    I have just been looking at a Link a mate sent on and thought I would share, I had forgotten all about this advert though everyone I ask loves it, I give you the Elephant Rolo advert from a long time ago ...

    http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=5ifpAv...related&search=

    And my three Personal favourites from the Tango Ads, it does NOT contain the "slap" one that was banned but these crack me up every time (particularly Number 2) ..

    Thanks for the Welcomes and Enjoy .. any other Gems out there ??

    One of my all-time favourites is the John West ad where the guy has to fight the bear for the salmon.

    The best advert ever was easily the Honda advert, the way things work. The one with the Honda Accord parts all moving and creating a chain reaction. One of the longest adverts i've ever seen too.

    I like the advert just now for Nimble bread. Its where the builders trousers keep falling down when they're working cos their wives are making them sandwiches with this low fat bread! Hilarious!

    My current favorites are the Skittles adverts, not sure of they are showing in the UK but some of them are crackers. First one is my favorite

    It has to be the current Cadbury advert with the gorilla on the drums, surely? I can't stop laughing...
    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference.

    I watched this advert via the link...what brilliant, if a sick imagination the advertising crew must have had.

    Personally I loved the coffee ad where the dog flew out of the window.
