The Dairy Milk Gorilla playing the drums to In The Air Tonight.
Absolutely brilliant advert.
Gotta give a shout out to the old tango adverts
My fav tho was the old pot noodle advert where guy comes home pissed at night and can’t get in house, sticks his head thru cat flap to shout
Cut to the morning and he’s passed out, head in catflap and someone’s parked a bike in his bum crack
This aired right around the time I was just discovering heavy music, so I absolutely loved it.
Evil Ford Ka. “De-caticated”, and “Pigeon Launch”. Brutally funny, even when you’ve got cats and think pigeon is reasonably tasty in the right circumstances.
Also the VW ad with the bomb. Not suitable for all audiences, but there you are.
The xbox finger guns advert is pretty good, or the ‘Toyota – So happy together’ is a belter
I know this is boring and unfunny, but the Guiness ‘tick full of tok full of tick’ gave me goosebumps then and still does whenever I see it. The GOAT for me.

Accrington Stanley, who are they?

Unfortunately it got banned
The washing machine ad, a bear takes off his fur, washes it and then when he puts it back on he’s a polar bear
Ave it!
The Tipp-Ex bear advert on YouTube if anyone remembers it. You could type almost anything into it and the advert would act it out. Brilliantly done.
“Mayday, mayday, we are sinking, we are sinking”
“Hello, this is the German coastguard. What are you thinking about?”
Irn Bru “Everybody In The World Loves Irn Bru”
Can’t do that any more.
[Scampi Fries advert had teenage me in stitches](https://youtu.be/Mz4XIldOb2E?si=Jf7-83xjSr3xgZmj)
“Kevin, where exactly did you bury the car?”
“In the sand! I… I’m not helping very much am I dad?”
I quite like the Irn Bru fanny ad.
And the Pot Noodle slag ad.
I can never find it, but the British Gas “The boiler’s fone again!” with the boiler running off down the street. It always makes me laugh.

Either Belly’s Gonna Get Ya or the Peter Kay John Smith’s adverts.

Do you want a flake in that love?
