What are our favourite TV ads either classic or contemporary?

For recent ones, I really liked the Thomas Cook one.

Especially like the bit right at the end when finally in the pool.

Never bought from them, and probably never will but hey.

I just don't get these ads.
 
This is one of the funniest I have seen, due to it's sheer simplicity;

This one was such a surprise ........................ but I loved it to bits and everyone was talking about it at the time;

But this is my all time favourite ........................... please don't judge me, or Kylie!
Oh, before you watch it, I must warn you that some may view it as rather raunchy, it's NOT for kids!

I remember an Audi ad from years back where a really obnoxious young city trader type was test driving an Audi and talking about how great he was. Initially I thought what a terrible way to advertise the brand. Nice twist at the end though where he says it isn't the car for him. Think Audi were trying to distinguish themselves from a rival German manufacturer popular with that type at the time. Always thought it was very clever.

More recently I do like the Paul Whitehouse Aviva ads. Man is a genius.

Oh yes, I remember this. Lordy Lordy.

I loved the soundtrack by The Hives, didn't remember much else about it to be honest....;)

By and large I hate TV advertising as it's nearly always an unwanted inturruption, but every so often an ad comes along that becomes a classic in its own right and a piece of great TV.

I have many favourites through the years (as I'm a bit of an old git), but what triggered the thread idea is this piece of genius.

I found it a bit sad. John Cleese looks so old.
 
Last years best (by far) was this one.....
