Re: best and worst TV commercials
Also quite fond of this one. Be warned, it's a big ad.

I'm just annoyed I've never been able to find on the web a decent quality source of the Northern Ireland Confidential Telephone Number adverts. Now they were adverts to chill you to the bone. Don't know how effective they were, but in the early 90s they certainly had an impact on me. I still recall them to his day quite vividly, especially the Cats in the Cradle one.
Edit: Found it

Be aware, it's not cheery and a product of the time in Northern Ireland. Actually most local government ads in NI were like that. Even today the drink driving ones are still just as hard hitting, they're really a lot harder than anything I ever saw in the rest of the UK.

This is my favourite http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnzFRV1LwIo
"Something In The Air"
I think this is the worst - it's a Toronto ad

I like the Carling ad. The other two really do qualify as tripe!

Hi
I did like a lot of the adds but some people just have to much time on their hands.
