There are very few TV ads these days that stand out and most are very samey.

What ads do you remember from years gone by?

The one that rings a bell for me was the Canadian one for Wendy's with the old lady shouting " Where's the beef?"

Who's taking the horse to France?

We were totally oblivious back then that the Frogs had a penchant for horse meat, and the poor dobin most likely ended up being served on sandwiches in a buffet...

Some of those UK public safety ads were terrifying. Remember poor Jimmy who broke into the electricity sub station to fetch his frisby? I can still smell the burning today.
