Even though I hate advertising, I must admit to having laughed at the Flash dog, he/she is hilarious.
It wouldn't make me buy Flash when cheaper alternatives are available, but the ad is funny.
Obviously the Go Compare & We Buy Any Car ads are annoying, but I suppose they've served their purpose in as much as people remember them.
Some of the Guiness ads were pretty damn good (even though I don't like the stuff).

I can't seem to post anything from YouTube or anywhere else. :( And that's too bad, because I just saw a HORRIBLE ad for Cheerios where they are pushing people to "have more babies, babies are fun". But it's probably for the best because some people here might get seizures or sensory overload if they watched it, it's like seeing through the eyes of someone with ADHD off their medication. 8O

I just googled it , and the mind boggles and is also sensory overloaded. , what message was Cheerios trying to get out ? ? ? - Eat Cheerios , it will help you conceive ? Have more kids as it will increase sales for us ? Cheerios are as fun as babies? :lol:

^Cheerios are often one of the first finger foods given to babies, because they're bland, they don't don't have sharp edges or crumble easily, and are low in sugar. After you turn 5, however, they're basically like eating little Styrofoam life preservers. So naturally they want more babies so they'll make more money.

I can't find it anywhere, but I really like the new commercial for the five meat pizza at Little Caesars where everyone faints about how much meat there is :lol:

To this day, this has got to be my most favorite ad I've ever watched. Not just Super Bowl ads either. The hilarious repetition is what I think really gets to me.

This is my favourite TV ad. Can't think of my least favourite; there's far too many to choose from :P

I think this ad is pretty perfect. It starts off and you're instantly wondering "ok, what's this about?" and there are attractive women in bikinis (running) in it, so you're not complaining; it keeps you engaged. The atmosphere is super dramatic; the music is epic - this builds the suspense and now you're really wondering what this is all about; you're intrigued. The directors really push it to the max; the build up is grand and then the explanation/the reveal is hilarious, but flows seamlessly with what came before it - everything makes sense. And then the ending is funny too. The directors were clearly working with the philosophy "go big or go home". I love it. It's a relatively simple idea, well executed and it's absolutely perfect for it's target audience of NT men.

I really love it when ads are done well; it's like a breath of fresh air :heart:

Budweiser Super Bowl ads have been on point for years. The one dramatizing Adolphus Busch's (founder of Budweiser's parent company, Anheuser-Busch) immigrant experience was timely, even if unintentionally.

Any of the: “I’m fallen but I can’t get up” ads. The PSAs from when I was a kid: “nobody ever said I want to be a druggie when I grow up” were pretty bad, too.

^^A "YouTube Poop" of the original LifeCall commercial.

Any fire safety-related PSA gave me nightmares.
