My all-time top 10 TV adverts.

I was chatting to a colleague the other day and we talking about our favourite ads of all-time I casually rattled of a couple of mine and she responded and said perhaps you could share your top ten, well I made a list and below is my top 10 ever. > > In first place is 'Snow Plough' from 1964 for VW. I saw this advert in the late 80's and it's one of those adverts that attracted me to go to art college. Timeless and the voiceover is so dry, just brilliant. A very close second was 1999 Surfer from Guinness, I literally got goosebumps when I heard and saw this at the cienma. Those close ups and the beginning combined with the booming soundeffects, the build of the story as we pan out to sea, the editing is top notch. It sold product as it was based on a product truth but it was also the closest to been also a work of art. Tick Tock, tick tock. In at number 3 is Dambusters by Carling Black Label Loved the way this was shot I remember at the time this was one of the first UK TV commercials to have that cinematic feel to it, the pay off at the end and twist is just so good. British humour at it's finest. Another beer advert! Seem to have a theme going on Heineken. 'The Water in Majorca' they say refreshes the parts other beers cannot reach well I can watch this spot again and again and I'll never get tired of it. I know the gags as I watched it so many times but the performances are just esquiste. Gosh. Volvo featuring Jean-Claude Van Damme is in at number 6, here he is carrying out his famous splits between two moving trucks. Apparently it was never done before,and I can see why it bcame viral with so many hits. A wonderful demo and I loved the choice of music from Enya, which has a very sedate pace to it as the story unfolds and with that end shot, for us boys it's eye watering brilliant. I saw this advert for Tonka Trucks one Christmas as a 5 year kid, I wanted one for Christmas. When I did I tried everything to smash it as boys we do but alas the advert was true, it did not smash as mauch as I tried. Another brilliant demo around a product truth. This advert still makes me laugh, it was at a time when a lot of adverts were very Punk rock and disruptive was a common thread as the agnecy HHCL at the time who did this advert also did Ronceal and Pot Noodle. This Tango ad was my favourite it was even better than the orginal 'orange man slap' 'Let's break for lunch' what a line and what a performance!! An idea that'so simple, locked off camera just a mamma mia of an idea. The cast and the surpise product makes this piece, it's so left field in its creative execution. I love it, the dude is brilliant. and my last one for Nike - Parklife, yes it's still a cracker. The blend of superstars with everyday Sunday league players and those third shots too all round a top draw spot from Nike. So there you have it, these are my top 10, any others you think should be included or taken out?

Surf at the end OMG
