Your best ever TV ad? 'Levis in the laundrette' for me!

I’ve just had a happy half hour clicking on the links supplied by you lovely GNs
Happy memories.
As they say, they don’t make them like that anymore.
Just remembered the Hamlet ads too.

The 2016 Christmas Heathrow ad with Chas & Dave singing 'I'm' going back' with the Granny and Grandad bears! Love it!

The M&M chocolate buttons ad: “ You were going to finish them without me.” “ Scott’s home early.” “ Now I understand what all the biting was about.” It’s not what you think.” from the guilty chocolate guzzler. Priceless, I never tire of seeing that ad.

The Christmas Irn Bru ad - Walking in the Air.

My new favourite is the AA ad with the knitted dog, the record player, the arm chair and the fan. The music makes it perfect. Can't remember what the favourite was before that.....

For mash get smash aliens advert.
Modern day quite taken with the smiling tortoise running at supersonic speed into the garden.l think its for Homebase.l just love the gary the tortoise!

In 1985 I went camping with my boyfriend (now husband) and we got drenched in torrential rain. We drove to the launderette where my husband stripped off his jeans and top and put them in the dryer. I like to think some adman (or more likely woman) for Levi’s was passing by..........?

Here is the Hamlet cigar advert, so funny.

There are two adverts I particularly like, the first is from the 1980's, promoting the Volkswagen Golf, with model Paula Hamilton. The song 'Changes' is playing in the background.

The second ad I'm enjoying at the minute is the Zoflora promotion. A beautiful woman dressed in a green outfit, making flowers grow around her as she wanders round her home. Edith Piaf singing 'Non, Je ne Regrette Rien'.

The music is great in both ads.

Loved the old fashioned jingles.

‘You’ll wonder where the yellow went, when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent’.
‘Blue, blue, blue, Esso Blue’.

I know showing my age!

The ones I enjoyed were the adverts for Smiths where Nicholas Lyndhurst played each member of the family.

1987 Volkswagen Golf GTI 'Changes' ad has always stayed with me. The woman leaves a house in a temper, throws away all her jewellery (ring, brooch, pearls) and her fur coat. She's about to drop her car keys down a drain then has second thoughts and drives away in her GTI. It was directed by David Bailey and the song 'Changes' fitted it perfectly. It's available to watch on youtube.

I can’t decide between the Diet Coke one or Levi one ??‍♀️....
guess I will just need to keep checking

Two days on and I'm still undecided.....

We've had some great adverts, haven't we? Apologies to all those who don't enjoy Christmas, but I look forward every year to the John Lewis festive offering. I think the Please, please, please let me get what I want one was my favourite.

The John Lewis Christmas ad with Paloma Faith singing Never Tear us Apart.

I love the Lloyd's Bank Black horse adverts. Some great music too

I loved the BT ad ‘he’s got an ology’ - brilliant.

Prudential (I think) with the famous phrase said in a brummie accent “we wanna be togever” DH and I say this to each other quite frequently these days!

Cadbury’s smash and the Guinness white horses. I really miss the jingles, does no one write these anymore? Now we just get pop music, classic songs being butchered to fit the time allowed or rap very loud and annoying.

Smash - with the funny aliens
British Gas - with the cat, dog and mouse cuddling up to the song "will you still love me tomorrow "
Kit Kat - with the pandas in the zoo
Cadbury Dairy Milk - the man in his office chair on hold on the phone dancing to "yes sir I can boogie"

The Honda ‘Cog’ advert: youtu.be/FGngcQb_0qg

I’m astonished no-one has mentioned it yet.

I loved this one for Nike, where the entire basketball arena plays musical chairs

The Milk Marketing Board adverts "watch out, there's a Humphrey about". And I did like the Skoda advert where they built a car out of cake and sweets-I think to the tune of "my favourite things".

Loved all the Beatie ones,. " You have an ology". With the wonderful Maureen Lipman.

Favourite at the moment is Lloyds bank, the beautiful black horse cantering alongside the child and runners. Magic.

I love the meerkat adverts so clever I really don’t get many of the new adverts. Of course the Levi advert

Shake and vac
I loved that advert
