So what's everyone's favourite/funniest TV commercial?

I think any of the Taken franchise fans may appreciate this one:

The Honda ad with the completely dissassembled Accord.

Innovation at it's best (IMHO).

If you've never watched it, give it a try, only 2 mins of your time

Not many ads I like. But I really liked the Honda ad going through the different ages with the song 'Impossible Dream'. They either have a great marketing team or great ad agency as most of their ads are innovative.

There was a briefly seen Hamlet ad with C3PO having his head put on backwards in a robot factory. So he lights up a Hamlet.

It was probably pulled because of the possible influence on kids.

Can't really pick a favourite commercial but I've just seen one with Kriss Akabusi that instantly filled me with rage and caused an overwhelming urge to throw my cup of coffee at the television!! Thankfully I held back...this time!!

Very old, but also one of the most commercially successful TV ad campaigns of all time.

For ancient, creative and obscure I still love the Vic Reeves one for Cadburys Boost from the late 1980s: "It's slightly rippled, with a flat underside".

Kia Ora

Now this Kia Ora advert is one I remember well from my youth and love for its fun but is also one that has caused much debate in recent times.

What many people now see as an issue with this advert is that some see racial connotations in the advert itself because of the stereotypes each of the characters portray. Personally I don't see these stereotypes and think they are only there if your looking for them, this is just an great Kia Ora.

"Kia-Ora...

It's too orangey for crows...It's just for me and my dog

I'll be your dog

- barks -

I'll be your dog

Kia-Ora a doggy doggy doggy doggy

Kia-Ora... Arumba

We all adore a Kia-Ora"
