Adverts we like

The AA ad with the talking dog.

The new Aldi one where the family save enough money to spend on their holiday to inishbofin. The expression on the daughter’s face as she throws the passport over her shoulder is brilliant.

Australian advert

A small bit of Reeves and Mortimer humour- ads are all about extolling the virtues of the product:

Most of the ads posted so far are over ten years old which says a lot.

Do people actually watch ads these days? I mainly stream, and if I do record, skip through the ads. I go to a McDonalds maybe once a year, if that, but I do remember that they always consistently have good ads.
One of my favourite ads is an Irish one (I think it's an insurance ad); the young fella with the driving instructor in the car on a suburban road as the fella is trying to execute a 3-point turn; the instructor looks at his watch, realizes the time, then announces "Outta here, baby- 9 to 5", and hops out of the car, abandoning the young fella, just as some bikers come from one direction, and a big arctic truck from the other, with the young fella freaking.
Can't find it on Youtube.

I really like the music they have for the Skoda made for Ireland advert. I've searched high and low for the full track but unfortunately its music only made for the ad. It's lovely and relaxing.

Lotto ad with a youngish Aisling Bea. The woman driving the tiny car is very familiar from somewhere too.
