    To be honest The cornflakes ad is my favourite with Budweiser a close second and Coca Cola my third favourite :)

    Just as a little distraction. Is this ad shown outside of Ireland? Every year at the start of December i share this ad on FB and as i lived in the UK for a long time , it always gets a lot of comments of love from my UK friends. I like it particularly because its all things Irish. I'd be interested to see if it would figure in a UK based tournament of the same sort?

    I suspect that similar to ourselves, the UK public would be quite parochial too, when choosing their favourite ad. :D

    I've seen it on TV in England & Wales when over visiting family there, up until 2019 anyway, havent been over since.

    Anyway, the final is still live, Guinness needs 1 more to win, Coca Cola needs 4 more to tie it.

    Yes I'd say you're right. I imagine the JL ads would feature at the top of a UK poll

    Saw one on TV before christmas this year & The Bear & Hare won it. The journey (the snowman one) came third & 2 or three others made up the top 10 or so.

    They had some real odd ones in there too though.
