Another clever one that tickled me was on a billboard. It was for Barclays Bank - the loan arranger. How do they think up these punchlines?

Not a tv ad, but years ago, I was in a cafe reading a newspaper and when I turned the page, it was an ad and picture of the new Jaguar Xf type - the punchline was ‘cat got your tongue’. Well, it got mine and I was lucky enough to get the car (I called it Kitty) a few years later.

I like all those mentioned and my favourite recent one is for J.P.Bell - it's the music that appeals to me .

I like the ads for Lloyd's bank as beautiful black horses are featured .

Do you remember the one for Birds Eye Chicken Pie in which the lady pretends that she made it herself ?

A Finger of Fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat - still sing it to myself every time I see one.

Oh, and I loved the Peugeot 405 ads featuring "Take my Breath Away." The only car ads that have ever come close to making me want the product!

Does anyone else remember the cute Premium Tea ad from the early 60s with Primo, the comic cartoon bear?

Dum dum dum te-dum, te-dum dum dum....Gives you a sparkle. Premium Tea"

Oh, help! It was an ear-worm then and it's an ear-worm now I've thought of it again.

Milk Tray, Hamlet Cigars, Old Spice, Harvey’s Bristol Cream sherry, Flake,…. all things bad or macho
Sunsilk Shampoo, Harmony Hairspray, Flash Powder with the Scottish woman. Dreft and Luxe soap flakes…. mainly quite sexist…
Coca Cola with The New Seakers, Homepride Flour, …..naive and amusing
But all very memorable
I barely watch any commercials on tv now and there are few that stick in the mind. Most are utterly tedious and condescending.

Joan Collins and Leonard Rossiter in the Cinzano advert on the plane.
Priceless 😁

Thanks GrannyPiper such a cute dog in the ad.

Also, ghe sexy couple in the Cointreau ad, The ice melts.

I loved the For mash get Smash advert with the wee aliens!

For the music as much as anything….

Nick Kamen stripping off his Levi’s and the Cadbury gorilla one. Both fir tge music spas much as anything.

It was Paula Hamilton and the music was Changes by Alan Price.

Yes but her surname escapes me ,it also had a good soundtrack which I cant remember

Oh yes!

Wasn't she a model, Paula? ** I think

VW Golf ad where glamorous woman ditches boyfriend ,throws fur coat away but hangs onto the keys of her GTI Golf

One of my favourites from the past I think was an advert for a real fire with coal. It showed a lovely glowing fire in a cosy room and one by one a dog, a cat then a mouse all come in and settle next to each other in front of the fire. Then they turn to each other and give a little kiss on the nose. Obviously using special effects but was so sweet to see.

Oh and of course, Yellow Pages with JR Hartley and the Smash aliens.

I don't really watch much live TV now, but I do remember fondly the Cadbury's Caramel Bunny one and the Knorr Stock Cubes 'Pea and ham, from a chicken? Now that's clever!'

I think my all time favourite is the old Rolos advert with the elephant getting his own back on the boy who, years earlier, wouldn't give him a Rolo, don't suppose they would show it now as the elephant smacks him across the face with his trunk

This is our favourite.

The Crypto farmer with his potatoes …… and onions.

I agree on the Nick Kamen Levi’s one. The John Lewis Christmas ads are usually pretty good. Also, the one for Cadburys chocolate with the Phil Collins song & the Gorilla playing the drums and not forgetting the Guinness ads, especially the one with the horses in the sea.
