This makes me burst out laughing at the end with Howard - love that man! All my mortgage paid up now but would go to the Halifax if he could arrange one for me just so I could meet him.

Hotel.com? Oh, is that what the advert is all about. Love these "tribute" ads though.

I think I'll add that AA advert I mentioned before with the little girl singing Proud Mary.

I like the advert but need help with the explanation or link with the product.
Beautiful Chinese looking girl in her wedding dress being driven away and smiling.
Narrative: he's got money, he's got the mansion......but he hasn't got you
Cut to: packet of chewing gum ??

There's another one with someone playing football and about to take a penalty while chewing gum and I don't think it's very responsible to promote chewing gum while doing sports.

This is a nice advert and the music is perfect. I always get a lump in my throat when it comes on.

UAP locks
Ad meeting- "We need a big, big name for our advertising push, any ideas?"
"George Clooney?" Busy
"Ryan Reynolds?" Busy
"Kevin Bacon" Busy
"What about that bloke who was Martin in Coronation Street who left more than 10 years ago?"
SORTED!

Shame it didn't choke Alex Ferguson.

Sounds a bit cheesy.

Mel C looks fit as f*ck in that. Probably the nicest I've seen her.

I remember this when I was about 5 and it was terrifying. The original version was banned for being too scary and ends with the car driving in to the demon who opens up his cloak but in this version the demon is replaced by the truck. Even though it was so long ago I remember watching it and being so thankful I was safe at home.

No Chappers, it's definitely chewing gum.
Probably some subtle mind game so that when you are at the checkout, you see it and buy it.

You forgot her on Frank Skinner 12.98. I lost so much juice Frank got a bit, and it was still worth it.

:D how have I never seen that before. In the voice of Vyv ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!!

This Becks advert is from around 2005. For some reason it always makes me think of Phil Daniels.

Love hearing Hall and Oates in the Boots adverts.

My favourite advert campaigns of all time were both Orange. The one where they built suspense as to who "Orange" was (the launch of the mobile phone company Orange) that was pure genius, imo. Plus the Orange Tango advert "You've been tangoed" that was just really funny. I think one or both won an award, but I can't be arsed to google to check, so might be wrong/biased.

Best ones for me were the Carling Black Label ads - especially the Dambusters spoof. Very funny
