It's the ringtone you've all been waiting for;
ring ring ring banana phone
ring ring ring banana phone
Ah how I've come to love it so.

Anyone remember that ad for Ronseal Weather Guard (Sic)?
It had this overly aggressive geezer, stood on a roof, staring down the barrell of the TV lens berating you about what will happen if you don't damp proof your roof.
He more or less signed off by saying "AND IF YOU DON'T WEATHERPROOF IT - I'LL CALL AROUND AND KICK SEVEN SHADES OF **** OUT OF YOU"

ya wouldnt want to spill that man’s pint.Originally Posted by Wolfie
Thought the Snickers one with Mr T was excellent. As was the Sprite p!ss-take one of Gillette ads. You know the one, this guy tries shaving himself with splashes of Sprite and cuts himself to shreds....
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
Well, it does taste like aftershave...

I liked the Guiness Ad that has Donald Sutherland doing the voice over, the transformation of the dot to a pint. Also the domino Guiness ad.
One ad from the past I loved and its never on anymore, is for Esb, setting is xmas time, son travelling home from abroad collected at station travels over miles of countryside to house in the middle of nowhere. Song playing over it is sung by a woman ,"going back to the place I knew so well, in my youth" anyone know it?

Dusty Springfield innit? Great song.

Wonderful advert that, one of my all time faves. Always reminds me of coming home for Christmas. Great song too.

Can't find the ad, so here is Dusty singing Going Back at least - it is incredibly evocative if you are of Ireland and a certain age.
Just like the old Penny's Christmas ad.
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
My 2 year old nephew went hysterical yesterday when the Lynx ad came on with a chocolate man eating bits off himself.
Liked the Denny rashers ad. the guy in America eating rashers at 2 in the morning and saying 'it's breakfast time back home'....
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
I found that a tad upsetting myself, poor chocolate man

Also another one from the 80's that I remember is the one with the garda from Glenroe getting up in the middle of the night to feed the baby , ESB i think it was

love the corn flakes ad from christmas time with the little girl meets santa, very sweet ad
boom-boombababoom-boom-boombababboom-boom....."MAAFEEES!!!". (Murphy's, for those of you unfamiliar with Japanese pronunciation).
That the one where they do that spinning trick with the pint? I used to do that all the time
i don't really remember, but i do recall one with a samurai running across the fields and into a building which turned out to be a bar, and shouting "Maafees".
I always liked that ad!
