Does anyone remember this ad from about 10 (?) years ago for some sort of drink, all in neon lights, and a really tall creepy guy and his little yappie type dog, chasing a guy with skull for a face on a motorbike, and him saying at one point 'That's my doggie!' and then saying 'Cooolll' at the end? I liked that one, and of course the classic:
R. Whites R. Whites
R. Whites R. Whites Lemon-ay-hay-ade....
I'm a secret knight-time lemonade drinker....
I haven't really liked any of the recent guiness ads apart from the one with the guy who could swim from wherever to wherever in the time it took to pour the perfect pint....
P.S and of course the IF SMIRNOFF MADE PET FOOD.... ad.
Love and Hope and Sex and Dreams are Still Surviving on the Street
I think the most entertaining commercials I ever saw were a series devised for a very short-lived table wine back in the 1970's. Orson Welles was hired to do the acting. Each commercial was great satirical stuff--one of them took on the Gallo Winery's slogan of the time, "We sell no wine before our time." It showed Welles smiling impishly at the camera, holding a glass of wine, saying, "We sell no wine...before you can afford to buy it."
I also loved the 1960's series of Levy's Rye Bread, featuring Bert Lahr (the Cowardly Lion from the film of the Wizard of the Oz; a very fine comedian and actor). In one he'd be dressed in a kilt and full Scots highlander outfit, grinning, eating the rye bread over some innocuous music, while the slogan appeared: "You don't have to be Jewish to love Levy's." In other, he was dressed as a nun. There were more than a dozen of 'em: very popular at the time.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.

Genius. Hope they gave a huge bonus to the guy who thought that one up...
Ah - you have reminded me of a wonderful vein of adverts.
If Smirnoff made autocues... is also a great one. The Carlsberg advert with a guy and his crab on a desert island is hilarious. I'm really amused by some of the WKD adverts - like where these guys in a shower keep pouring their shampoo in one guy's hair whenever he's looking the other way, and other juvenile pranks and the Smirnoff Ice "as clear as your conscience" ones...
"Here's my mum - didn't you meet her at a party last year?"
"Your mum?? I thought she was your sister..."

These are some that probably only the Canadians have seen, but the Molsen Canadian beer commercials have been great lately. Among them, there was the "I Am Canadian" speech, "Office Glen", "Canadian Beaver", and the new ones with the Proclaimers music in the background, and the American going across the border to buy beer.
Hockey fans... What about htose hockey commericals. the old one with the goal tender who the Maple Leaf's got rid off.. he became a gardener and was mowing this dudes lawn in full goalie outfit.. "Glove side, stick side... I Kieel you maple Leaf.. I kiielll you"
Or the everything would be better if it was hockey, like the two chicks bowling and right before the girl lets go the other bowler jumps on her and checks her across the alley.
The arron Burr milk commercial was brilliance.
My new favorite is the budwieser commercial where the guy goes into the girls apartment and goes to get her a beer, notices she lives with another girl who is her roomate and pauses.... then gets another beer... Yeah baby.

What is it about booze adverts that they're usually so good? I like the.. Archers one, I think it is, where the guy comes home late and goes to sleep on the sofa because he thinks his girlfriend is upstairs asleep, and then she arrives even later and sneaks up the stairs
There was a great advert a while ago for a Dutch beer, but I can't remember what it is... Anyway, it's on the set of a porn film, and halfway through the scene this guy walks in and says "Stop, stop, this blue movie is not ready yet! Where's this guy's moustache? Why is he actually fixing the fridge?" etc.
Originally posted by Ryo Hm.. I really liked the Mountain Dew commercial where the guy is headbutting this ram.. they had a special on Animal Planet once where they showed how they did it. They had the guy with, like, rope attached or something, and he would run, and then they'd jerk him back. The ram was digitally added later. ^_-
Wasn't that the Pepsi Max ad, oh well its all soda in the end.

Yup, those are great! Also, alot of the Canadian olympic ones were good (like the Coca-cola one, where "If we time it right, they can hear us in Salt Lake"; and the Bell Canada commercials, I must get that music!).
If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do.
My dad was in advertising--you may be familiar with the slogan he came up for Busch Beer: Head for the mountains...
He won a lot of Addy awards and Clio's.

For the I am Canadian Adverts that Aegis mentioned, I'm amazed at their ability to affect the canadian populace. Nationalism is at an all time high. You can almost notice it!
The waves came crashing in like blindness.
So I just stood and listened.

I think I'm gonna go find the "My name is Joe, and I Am Canadian" speech and post it... I'll try for later tonight (this morning, technically)
