A 'television advertisement' or television commercial (often just commercial (US) or advert or ad (UK) or ad-film (India)) is a span of television programming produced and paid for by an organisation that conveys a message. Advertisement revenue provides a significant portion of the funding for most privately owned television networks. The vast majority of television advertisements today consist of brief advertising spots, ranging in length from a few seconds to several minutes (as well as program-length infomercials). Advertisements of this sort have been used to sell every product imaginable over the years, from household products to goods and services, to political campaigns.


Its quite simple, Post what you think is the best commercial ever and why

I'm sure that I've seen better, but damned if I remember it. This one's pretty awesome anyway.

Really? anything that isn't one of those awful Cadbury's "oh, let's do something kooky or indie and reach for that award" wasted minutes of guff.

I like what LV said. I don't watch much TV though, so I can't play this game properly ;_;

The three Sony Bravia ads.

All have amazing sound.
All have colors.
All are fun.

The first has balls.
The second has explosions.
The third has rabbits and She comes in Colors, everywhere.

Hmm. There was a good Pepsi ad a while ago. I think the Hungry Jacks one are kind of clever, but odd.

I've always been a fan of the Aeroplane Jelly ads from ages ago. That tune is awesome.

I really like the new Toshiba add. It involves no CGI, which makes it super cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYPn1BrTNCE
