The ad with the biggest ahhh factor.

I understand that a big fight broke out amongst the animal trainers with the mouse trainer complaining they weren’t paid as much as the dog or cat.

The yellow pages adverts were great. Fly fishing by J R Hartley is a classic, but the French polishing one is also good. In fact they were all worth posting.They seem to have set the benchmark for almost all recent Christmas ads.

As with Honda, the great strength was that they were founded on a single, simple truth about the product: in the case of Honda, that they work, and go on working; in the case of Guinness, that 'good things are worth waiting for' - as in this brace of classics:

@swee'pea99 I seem to remember that the Surfer ad as was the most expensive up until then. Was it £1m+?

A stone-cold classic. (I don't know "art" , but I know what I like.)I can still hear the guy chanting "tick follows tock ...".

Here's my nomination for the Artsy category:

I don't know, but it certainly cost a fortune. Those were the days!
