Here's a few classic commercials from the USA

I remember those classic comercials. And I like the Ameriquest one also.

Here's Pepsi commercial I found on youtube. I don't know how Hong Kong avert can get away with one that's over 3 minutes long.
Any one that had ever played 'Final Fantasy' might recognize the characters.

Epic commercial, Ann! Thanks for sharing it!

Samsung actually managed to get away with a 9-minute commercial a few years ago! I mean, technically it's a music video, but it was all sponsored for the product placement. The company took four of Korea's top musical celebrities of the time and formed them into a promotional "super band."

If anyone ever gets bored enough to watch the whole thing (or even part of it, haha), it's kind of a cool concept. Music as terrorism? What a strange world that would be!

Would you believe me if I said that Coke ad played over here in the UK as well? I was but a young 'un myself but I remember that ad. The other ones were cool too, liked the Ameriquest ones a lot

Another Limey ad may I point out

[tako fire]

Roundup of good (or at least weird) car adverts:

Honda - this is a little...umm...awkward (??):
" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Volkswagen - one that'll get you into trouble with a PC crowd (Britain):
" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Toyota - the new Prius 2010 "Green" advert (USA):
" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

?? - It starts out LOOKING like a car advert, but... (Germany):
" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Honda UK - possibly the coolest advert for anything ever made (Britain):
" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Couple more British ad's for you. The first one is for Marmite (which we discussed in depth on another thread)....

Here's a Pentene Ad from Thailand. Love the ad, but still don't quite get how it ties in with Pentene.

Thanks a million for that, Ann! I wept like a baby, then I went downstairs with my flute and played Pachelbel's Canon for hours.

That's great Ann, I was really rooting for her by the end (rooting for her - get it!).

OH, YORKIE.

this isn't the kind of commercial you are probably expecting but it is one nontheless. This was an event that happened in order to advertise auditions for the role of Fraulein Maria in a Belgian musical production of "The Sound Of Music".
