What are the most memorable commercials you've seen?

December 10th 2006 14:39
Sometimes in the pursuit of our dreams and our desire to provide for our family, there is little room left to do the little things that truly matter. Sometimes we forget to appreciate the people around us or fail to see how much we are appreciated.

To fellow moms out there, this is for you.....

A great ad. )

My favourite right now is probably HP's 'Constant Change', directed by David Fincher, and I also adore his 'Pebl' for Motorola and 'Beauty For Sale' for Xelibri (Siemens)... you can check them all out at www.anonymouscontent.com!

Well I guess it depends on whether you mean today or overall. When I first saw this question the first ad that sprang to mind was from many years ago - Kodak I think it was.
It was the one with the wife taking the photo of her husband standing at the edge of the pier, holding out the fish he had just caught, when the shark jumps out of the water and eats the fish from his hand.

Does anyone else remember this one, or am I just showing my age again? ; )

That's a fantastic ad.

My favourite at the moment is the Australian Telstra bigpond ad "Too many rabbits in China". No matter how many times I've seen it, it still cracks me up.

MelissaA, I remember that ad. The photo ends up looking like the husband is holding the shark. How old are we again?

Love & stuff

MellisaA and Mrs B - I remember that ad, too!
... I don't think we're that old.

Hi Hope,

That's a pretty touching ad. I'm ignoring the fact that's it's Hallmark, because it really is cute

The two I remember from when I was little is the Flake advert (which makes me laugh now, because it's so serious and yet it doesn't seem to mean anything. Does it?) and the 1984 VB one (there have been a afew).

FLAKE

VICTORIA BITTER

... matter of fact, I got it now!

Great Post!

I'm with Kate - I love VB ads. But Carltons gets my vote.

The 'Ken Bruce Has Gone Mad' series with the classic 'Ken Bruce has gone mad in bed with Madonna' taking trash advertising to new levels.

That said I would never buy anything from the man.
