Presumably the lists did feature Carling, Hamlet and Irn Bru near the top, with Flake in the soft-porn subcategory...?

Interesting that it was the Ad men who came up with the top 100. I imagine it would have been from the professional, artistic point of view rather than how successful the ad was deemed to be.
I recall the memorable and very atmospheric cigarette advert 'You're never alone with a Strand'. It had the actor Terence Brook walking through the empty streets at night, looking lonely and brooding, lighting up a fag, all shot in black and white. By all accounts the sales of Strand took a nose dive because smokers didn't want to be seen as sad loners! Nevertheless, it was a great ad! ![]() Cliff went on to be Britain's foremost jingle writer and advert song writer, coming up with the following:- The Milk Tray theme tune The Frys Turkish Delight song For Mash get Smash jingle Murray Mints, too good to hurry jingle Plus many, many more over the years. However his most famous one may just be the Milky Bar Kid song, which in later years Adams would joke that he could retire off the royalty payments from this tune alone, given how often and for how many years the campaign ran. Also another interesting side note about the failed Strand brand of cigarettes. The biggest problem was the tag line 'You're never alone with a Strand', however market research at the time found that most people remembered the tag as 'You're always alone with a Strand'. After 3-4 years the brand was killed off and rebranded as Embassy. In the first Embassy advert there was a lonely man at a party who was being ignored, so he starts to hand out Embassy cigarettes and lo and behold he is suddenly the most popular person at the party. Thus Embassy went on to become the biggest selling cigarette brand of the 1960's. |

When are the ASA going to force Duracell to compare their batteries with other Alkaline batteries rather than Zinc ones? Bit like comparing a Ferrari to a Fiesta. Every one knows the Ferrari will leave the Fiesta for dust. But a Ferrari against a Lamborghini would be a fairer comparison (well, not one of these Lamborghini's obviously http://www.lamborghini-tractors.com/en-eu/
)I can understand why Duracell do it as saying "lasts as long as any other alkaline battery" doesn't quite have the ring of "lasts ten times longer than other batteries". And I note they leave out the reference to Zinc batteries in the final tag line hoping the punters will forget that they mentioned them earlier in the ad and think it applies to any type of battery. |

Apparently according to the Match.com advert "thousands of singles are joining Match.com every day", then they show a lesbian couple stripping to their underwear
![]() The tagline is "Love your imperfections", what does one person find imperfect about themselves? Are they confusing the site with Tinder now? |

I've finally figured out what bugged me about the trivago woman and the 'have you not done your ppi' man, even when on mute - the movement and stance just seem 'off', in a sort of not-quite-natural movement sense, presumably so they fit in the part of the frame that's not full of logos or something.

Haha, reminds me of a previous one for a floor cleaning product I think, where the mom just finished cleaning the floors to a shine when the kids burst through with muddy boots and filthy dog in tow, and she just smiles, shaking her head gently as if to say, "ooh, you silly kids." In real life she'd been shouting multiple obscenities at them while they dodged her house slippers being flung at them.

Along those lines why do adverts for floor cleaners always have kitchen floors that look like a herd of cows have spent the night in there? I mean every inch of floor space is covered in grime in an otherwise spotless house!

Today, during The Chase I saw the new SCS advert which mentions "Christmas" delivery - for heaven's sake it's 15 weeks away - even I could build and deliver a sofa in that time.
Fact is they'll be saying the same thing 4 week before the perishing "big day". |

Just seen the ad for Kinder Choco Bon and wondering why they're been marketed at women only. I like chocolate, and so do all my hairy arse bloke mates! What gives?! |

The girl on the Oral B advert that was just on (on the break of Bridget Jones on ITV2,) has an ugly stupid looking mouth and ridiculous teeth.
Hideous. Annoying ad. |
