    Coca cola for me, for the same reason as yesterday, its a classic, still in use & still is one of only 2 or 3 adverts that when I see them 'live' for the first time each christmas give me a little buzz that Christmas is here!!!

    Conflicted...both ads are classics.

    But going to vote Budweiser.
    Purely cos it's from the 80s and that brings me back to childhood chrismasses.

    Guinness.

    Simply the greatest TV advert ever created IMO. Christmas isnt Christmas until I've seen this on the TV.

    The Guiness ad. The quiet and peace of the shot give me that feeling of finally finishing work after it being hectic and getting to chill.

    It's nearly time! :D

    Some facts about our fab 4 in the competition.
    We have the top 4 seeded adverts playing today, so you might think the last 4 is no surprise!

    Our No. 1 seed Penneys trounced Air New Zealand, Quality Street 2009, took out John Lewis 'The long wait' before knocking out Denneys.

    Guinness, the No. 2 seed, saw off competition from TK Maxx's lil Goat, the Coca Cola 2006 advert, BBC One's Supporting Act and McDonald's 2020 offering- Inner Child.

    Budweiser, our No. 3 seed, has seen some of the closest contests, it knocked out Kevin the Carrot- Top Gun early on, whitewashed McDonalds 'Christmas Eve' and caused devastation by knocking the Heathrow bears, then the iconic Bear and the Hare out of the competition.

    CocaCola, our No. 4 seed whitewashed Doc Morris' 2020's Christmas advert, and Tesco 2013 and caused heartache before knocking out Lidl's adorable grandad :( an An Post's Let them Know.

    I didn’t know we were allowed to post porn on here.

    Stat porn!!!
