Brilliant! Ads that have Stood the Test of Time

We've come up with some memorable ads that made us laugh and stuck firmly in our minds.

Her

Most ads drive us nuts but there are some that we have really enjoyed over the years. Here are a few of the favourites.

Guinness

We loved when Guinness portrayed the true frenzy that surrounds securing a ticket to an All Ireland Final in Croke Park. Genius!

Pat the Baker

This animated advertisement has captivated audiences for years and everyone knows the Pat the Baker tune off by heart. So Fresh It’s Faaamous!

Cadbury

Cadbury must have an inspired marketing team because their ads are always crazy. We were oddly drawn to the ad with the two children and their mysterious moving eyebrows but our absolute favourite has to be this gorilla rocking out to Phil Collins’ In the Air Tonight.

Rolo

This ad, which features a truly annoying child is one of our ultimate favourites. Imagine teasing a baby elephant? We think this brat deserved what he got! You have to share your Rolos!

Carlsberg

Let’s face it. Every Carlsberg ad is marketing gold. This one, which features a man on the look out for room mates is our old time favourite!

Do you have an ad that you’ll never forget?
