    Time for one more?!

    It’s Irish & it’s the SuperValu ad with the black kitty running up the steps & the whole big, chaotic family Christmas prep going on. And the best bit, out of all the best bits is nana not being able to work the remote control.
    Much like I can’t work links!

    To avoid any confusion, everyone else fire away with as many noms as you like, I think I'm done with mine is all... must have about 20 in there already:D

    Coca cola tend to do alternative adverts to the traditional ("holidays are coming") trucks & I always liked this one from 2006...

    Nominations are now closed, I'm counting them now and drawing up the tournament bracket and then we start with the playoffs.

    It's a bit trickier than the others, as it's not clear cut descriptor, like a movie name.

    Well this worked out perfectly. 64 unique nominations...

    Meaning no playoffs we can jump right into the last 64.

    So transparency purpose, the Ads were ranked by number of noms, where ads had the same number of nominations the older ads ranked higher... last the test of time and all that :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,033 ✭✭✭✭DvB


    Sweet!! Looking forward to this one.

    Love it, must use that to describe myself........'last the test of time and all that' :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,865 ✭✭✭TRS30


    Penneys


  • Registered Users Posts: 27,388 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    Vote for Penneys.

    The New Zealand one doesn't seem like an ad, it's a mini movie or trailer nearly!

    First time seeing both of those, it's over but Penneys would have got my vote too.


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 24,651 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    And Penneys advances easily to the surprise of none :)


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 27,502 Mod ✭✭✭✭Posy


    I am... not shocked. :D

    Hadn’t seen either ad before but the over acting & sheer implausibility means my vote is Spice Girls.


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 24,651 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    1-1 not familiar with either ad myself so hard to choose.


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,209 ✭✭✭✭Autosport


    Quality street for me, nothing to do with my love of toffee fingers :D
