Adverts you love?

I think the Cadbury's ad with the two kids in the waiting room - very clever.
What's amazing is the amount of adults that had that as their ringtone.!

Interesting most of the ads chosen have a strong nostalgic element - hope no ad exec reads these as we'll have nothing but nostalgic ads here on in:(

The aer lingus ad reminded me of another ad, think it was from the early 90's, for another airline. It might well have been aer lingus as well. It had a tag of something like 'Live your dream' or 'Dreams come true'. I remember they showed one young lad on the plane with an astronaut suit on. There was another fella asleep in his seat on the plane and then it showed him wearing pyjamas. Sorry if i'm rambling. Can't seem to find it tho. Maybe someone else will remember it..

EDIT: I was sure there was a kid with an spacesuit and a guy sleeping who gets morphed into pyjama. Maybe there was another version of this ad thats not on youtube...

there's a few - the Amstel ads from a few years ago (the Flood, Troy, New World........etc 'this is gonna be great' was the ad) - they were class............also, (and this can't be found afaik) the Walkers ad from the 90's with Keano and Linekar!........Clarks used to do cool ads before with either the 'neeeewww sssshoooooeeeesss' line or the kids dancing................

Nick Kamen maybe? The wimmin folk would have exploded if Nik Kershaw started stripping on the telly (plus he'd probably have wanted to do the singing as well).

Most adds are emm...brain-melters but there is one that I think was only shown for the first time this week which is really well done.

It shows babies skateboarding and doing all sorts of impossible tricks...an add for water, I think.

Yeah the evian ad is brilliant really funny. I like the cow and gate ad with all the babies giggling! I like the eircom ad where everyone is taking the red paint off the doors, very clever!
I love the little guys in the lotto ads too.
