What's your favourite TV advert?
 
Inspired by some searching I've just done.

TV adverts get right on my nerves, and I have no love for Corporation Nike, but the Nike: Good vs Evil advert from about ten years ago is a masterpiece. The link is for the short (1 minute) version on You Tube.

Watch it, and try to guess why the nannying British government banned it.


Edit: A longer version The intro bit isn't in English, but it's a much better picture, and it's the visuals that really make it.

That is an awesome ad.

I love those bloody Geico ads.

Isn't it just? There was a longer version, but I can't find it. It's got some great footballers in too, which is a nice touch.

Yeah I was going to say the Geico cavemen.

the red car and the blue car had a race, all the red could do is stuff his face, he eats everything he sees from trucks to big green trees, but smarter blue he took the milky way, he's lookin for a chocolate treat, fluffly and light cus he knows it fills his appetite

Oh no the bridge is gone! Red can't carry on!

but smarter blue he took the milky way

I dunno. I haven't seen any in a while. The cavemen ones were pretty funny.

I love that new starburst ad. Two of them. The one where the guy takes that kids stuff (dog, bike, shirt, helmet, food) and the one where the guy throws the other kids food on the ground.

Hip Priest 03.24.2006 08:04 PM

I've added a longer version of the Nike Good vs Evil add at the start - it's got a much better picture too.

Seriously, it's awesome.

I like the commercial for some job website with all the chimpanzees partying because sales are up until the guy turns the sign around and says sales are down, so the chimps just turn the chart back around. I love that.

Right now I like that Renault Clio ad with the British guy and the French woman arguing which country is best. But only because the woman in it is totally amazing.
