Best Averts on TV (Now and Then)

[Xi-Sung]

Seeing the Bad Advert Thread has managed to get to part 4 and well over 1000 entries I thought I start a thread in praise of the Advertising Exec's art.

Here are 4 to kick off with.

Honda

Though nearly every Honda ad could be included.

Guinness

(Slight cheat; that's a foreign version. I remembered the UK version being a great ad but frustratingly let down by not being given enough time- and having double-checked on YouTube it *is* significantly shorter).

Nowhere near worthy of "Best", but I find the not-so-subtle imagery of this Wilkinson Sword ad quite amusing

Has anyone seen the new Yeo Valley dairy product advert? Has to be one of THE best adverts I've ever seen!
