Favourite TV adverts

[garethj]

This popped up on another thread, Brian May belting out the music to the Ford advert.

An unknown artist but Land Rover did a similar feel for the Defender.  I love this

Volkswagen did some amazing adverts in print and on TV during the 1960s, in America they completely changed the face of advertising.

After they did this, they even took the piss out of old style car adverts with this.  Dustin Hoffman looking young

In the UK we had this, which was quite memorable 

And later they did their own parody, for the Passat

This gets a mention as top driving skills in a time before CGI and clever editing 

Whereas a few years earlier they were relying on the Two Ronnies

These are my favourites:

Who doesn't like seeing a small, french, hatchback being launched off of an aircraft carrier and then reappearing on a submarine?

Excellent!  I'd like to put in a vote for the Ford Transit "Backbone of Britain" ad, and perhaps also Spike Milligan's 70s Mini ads.  Honourable mention to Citroen for the Xantia: "Henry, could you just run Sarah home for me?"  You couldn't make that ad now!  Not only is the couple depicted clearly from only one racial origin, but the man is seen doing the driving.  I feel old...

Well loved faces, but is showing how much damage comes from a 5mph crash a good idea?

Trust the Japanese to do something extremely weird.

I have to post this atrocity here:

The legendary Australian Hilux ad. ' Bugger'.

[garethj]

Yuppies should aspire to a Renault 25.  Unfortunately they aspired to BMWs instead and the market share of the two companies today is telling

One wonders what substances were taken during the production of this advert! 🤔😁

[Dick Cheeseburger]

The 206 advert above would have been my first choice. In close second is the early 405 advert though.

This takes the cake for Peugeot adverts:

From that time in the ‘80s when the ‘50s was cool, before that time in the ‘90s when the ‘60s was cool

Love these  BL ads, with the none-more-70s theme tune,

And this Escort MK2 launch promo, with Max Mason off of ITV schools programme 'Starting Science' and a lovely orange 1600 sport

Volkswagen had some good ones

When shooting this advert they must have had a 2 mile run-up to film it at speed.

 

[gtd2000]

This thread reminds me of a recent joke.

"I'm so old, I remember when there were white people in the adverts!" 🤣

[garethj]

Back when Audis were quite exclusive 

 

[Dick Cheeseburger]

Ah, who could forget...

This one was very clever:

Cake ad was clever too.

I particularly like the way the wipers 'crawl' along the floor, very imaginative
